Ok so this is about 3 months late but Tess said I should write chronologically and so I think my entry about Tokyo should be coming to my loyal readers (er probably about 2 people at this point) maybe in Dec 2015, if we’re lucky.

The #1 thing about HK right now and that I miss SO MUCH – BEHOLD (NSFW! FOODPORN AHEAD!!):

Night Wolf: soft serve italian gelato with 66% chocolate swirl, banana icecream, passion fruit pannacotta, brownie, crunchy cereals, chocolate chip egg waffle.
ohh tea!: italian low fat soft gelato served on a bed of earl grey bergamot panna cotta, caramel apple, butter crumbs, organic jasmine tea sorbet, hibiscus tea espuma, strawberry tea caramel popcorn and a chocolate dipped tea bag

UM?????? LIKE??????? EXPLOSIONS IN MY MOUTH PLEASE. After having this I felt like my heart was exploding with mini fireworks and afterwards it started doing somersaults. It’s one of the biggest party in my mouths I’ve had all year and just WOW. I swear as I had it my head was going OMGOMG??????OMG??????? Banana + chocolate – everyone knows it works, but the passionfruit pannacotta really cut through and the citrus zing was a v pleasant end to a combination which would likely be quite heavy on the palate. ohh tea! was v different from night wolf – flavours were all subtle and very complementary; a perfect after dinner guilt-free snack (ok IT IS ANYTHING BUT GUILT FREE but it’s so light that it’s guilt free ok??). For me, I am in love with the idea that Winnie, the owner of Oddies, took a leap of faith and decided to run an icecream shop instead of going into pastry like most of her fellow Le Cordon Bleu counterparts. She runs this small tiny stall in Wan Chai by herself daily with one or two helpers. So much respect for this lady. Follow oddies on Instagram for their monthly update – Ohh Tea! is no longer available (soz). HERE!!

This is a place that is so off the charts that it really deserves a short entry of its own. This place is very very special and I cannot recommend it more – anyone travelling to Hong Kong should carve out some time to visit Oddies and savour Winnie’s magical creations, and of course, marvel at her little set up and like me, get all excited because she sure has a bright, shiny future ahead. Also, please bring someone along so you can try everything. Preferably someone with a HUGE APPETITE so you don’t feel fat when you order everything off her menu because everything is likely to be pretty damn delicious.
