One of my favorite restos in SoHo. It's one of those restaurants you have breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner at comfortably, no fuss, nice decor, wholesome food. This is the restaurant equivalent of what I would classify as 'comfort food'. Oh, be sure to visit their website containing menus here: http://www.lifecafe.com.hk/Food: Homemade Organic cake + organic tea/coffee $55Would go for something as natural as possible here.

Homemade Organic cake + organic tea/coffee $55
Would go for something as natural as possible here. No sugar added! And it is the first time I tried cake with quinoa as an ingredient. So I've come to the conclusion that I'll come back again for this. It doesn't taste very sweet. The texture also very nice and cakey. It crumbs easily when you fork through it but it holds firm standing there alone. It was however, surprisingly moist and it's difficult to square with it being crumbly I know but I wasn't thirsting for water after I had my share so. The mixed berry compote/jam gave the cake an extra dimension of tartness and texture - this was a clever pairing. Ploughing through the large slice without the compote would be slightly boring because the cake is homogeneous. Recommended to those for which chocolate is NOT a vital element in desserts. Otherwise, they have this gluten free chocolate cake which I kind of want to try as well hehee. Also ordered a Stomach Ease tea. They're also sold in boxes at the deli. It was very delicious, served piping hot. Tasted of ginger and had a faint hint of liquorice, which..i could've done without. But overall this was really soothing and made you feel...good.
A few weeks ago I also had...
Set lunch: 1 mains + 1 drink + 1 organic cookie $110
It was a rich, filling tomato soup and a risotto. The soup tasted strongly of tomato, no cream, quite peppery, and had quite a number of ingredients. Was already a bit full after having the soup actually. It was a bit sour, but not in an unpleasant way. The risotto wasn't really a risotto in that it did not reach the desired texture. There wasn't enough liquid giving it a runny texture. There was corn kernels, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, goats cheese (blergh), and this nutty crisp to garnish. I didn't really enjoy the combination of flavours. I couldn't taste much cheese either - the cheese didn't come through, or it wasn't properly seasoned. And I think they used brown rice instead of the traditional Arborio rice, resulting in the different texture. I prefer the traditional type . The cookie was not too sweet and there were a lot of grains for me to chew on. I did not feel fat after eating it. It is one happifying oatmeal cookie.
Conclusion:
I will, doubtlessly, be back.
