Choubo Kissaten World Trade Center 喫茶ちょうぼ 世貿中心 (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★☆☆

After a long flight back from Paris, I would normally just spend the rest of the day unwinding and chilling out at home but with Guan Gong (關公) in town and leaving tomorrow, I decided to venture out to Causeway Bay to see my long-time friend who hasn't been back to Hong Kong in four years.



I am picking our meeting spot this afternoon and Choubo Kissaten (喫茶ちょうぼ) at World Trade Center (世貿中心) immediately came to mind since it was pretty close to where my friend was staying.

I haven't had much success with yōshoku dining  (洋食) these days. Hopefully, Choubo Kissaten will provide a more pleasant and enjoyable experience.

My purple sweet potato milk was a little bland today but after all those French pastries I had in the past two weeks, a lower sugar content wasn't a bad idea.

I just realized that I haven't eaten all day, so I treated myself to a small carbonara with assorted mushrooms. This was a little too cheesy for me but I like the fact that the spaghetti was nicely coated in the creamy sauce.

It was nice to see my good friend from high school and university again. These days, we have been talking about parenthood and work and in a few years, we might just find ourselves discussing about our retirement plans. Time really flies!
