Coffee Slave
Much More than Coffee
Date of Visit: 4 July 2020
My cousin and I visited Coffee Slave for a Saturday brunch, as it is located in Ngau Tau Kok/Kwun Tong, which is close to where we live.
You will be welcomed by lots of toys like these when you walked into Coffee Slave. Also, they brought back memories that I had been here before, but just for a cup of Beetroot Latte, not a full meal.
I ordered this special Wine Tonic to cool off the summer heat, as Coffee Slave is a bit far from MTR station. It had a nice blend of red wine and coffee taste, surprisingly matching! And even the ices melted, the drink wasn’t diluted to a great extend. Highly recommend you to try it.
We ordered two dishes to share. First one was these pancakes. We ordered the one with Matcha Gelato, Red Bean Paste, Sweet Cream & Maple Syrup. We were a bit confused if this was the one we ordered, as the cup of ice cream was Tieguanyin tea flavour instead of matcha, even though there were red beans inside. We thought the premium upgrade meant an extra scoop of Tieguanyin ice cream, instead of replacing the matcha one with this one. Nevertheless, the pancakes were reasonable, and the Tieguanyin ice cream didn’t go quite well with the pancakes, as we were expecting matcha with red beans…
The other main was this Shakshuka with Toast Sticks. We ordered this as we don’t often see it on a cafe menu. The tomato base (onion, tomato, red bell pepper, herbs, spice) with eggs and mozzarella cheese was absolutely delicious! The crunchy based toast sticks were so good too! Perfect for dipping the tomato base. However, the waitress carelessly dropped one of the tasty bread sticks. She said she would bring one back to us but she never did…We wouldn’t want it back so desperately if it wasn’t this delicious…A bit disappointed.
