A Nostalgic Journey at Grandma's Coffee House

Walking into Po Po Coffee House is like stepping through a wooden door that transports you back to the Showa era. ☺️ The dim light casts a shadow on the frosted glass and aged wooden tables. Behind the bar, the gentle clacking of beans and the aroma of cream waft through. The pace is just slow enough to keep your voice down. 🤭 While the restaurant focuses on Japanese-Western cuisine, it also caters to those looking for a drink, a light meal, or even dessert. A table can order a variety of dishes and sweet drinks, ranging from savory to sweet, like a small yet complete journey. 😋 Let's start with the a la carte menu. 👍 You have a lot of freedom to choose according to your preferences. 😍 🐧 I opted for the Caramel Mentaiko Tamagoyaki. ❤️ It was enticing the moment it arrived: a thin layer of caramel on the surface, which crackled, revealing the warm, tender aroma of egg. The mentaiko danced between my teeth, exuding a savory, slightly spicy flavor, a blend of sweet and savory, without overpowering the main dish. 😋 The cold plum wine tomato is another refreshing treat. 🥰 The perfect balance of iciness allows the plum wine's sweet and sour flavor to pass through like a breeze, while the watermelon juice brings a summery, fruity, and juicy aroma. The perilla oil finishes with a hint of fresh, herby flavor. 🌟 The shrimp brioche toast is a hearty treat. 😈 The buttery brioche is pan-fried to a golden crisp, the shrimp paste is firm and chewy, and the numbing sansho pepper and citrus notes add a richness to the dish. A light dusting of sea bream and seaweed powder brings out the flavor of the sea. 🤩 Nagoya Tebashi continues this "sticky temptation." 😋 A sweet and salty sauce coats the crispy crust with pepper and sesame seeds. The crispy skin and fragrant bones are revealed upon biting, and the juicy meat oozes out, making you want to reach for another one. ✅ The Fuji salmon and kimchi rice balls are delightful, with the rice held firmly but not solidly, the grains distinct, and the seaweed still retaining its crispness. 👍 The filling strikes a perfect balance between the salmon's fat and the tart, spicy kimchi, leaving a lasting aftertaste and a stimulating finish. It's the perfect ending to a round of savory treats. 🌟 Drinks and desserts are one of their signature dishes. 😎 The Fuji milk pudding is rich and creamy, with a shaky texture that's just the right balance of soft and smooth. The strawberry topping offers a refreshing tartness, avoiding any overly sweetness. 😋 The Fuji Parfait is layered and visually stunning, with the perfect balance of ice cream, jelly, and cereal. From top to bottom, there's no sweetness left. 😘 It's photogenic and the flavor is uncompromising. ❤️ The purple sweet potato churro is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with the earthy aroma of the purple potato and the sweetness of the sugar playing a perfect match. It's most captivating when served warm. A dip in the milky sauce quickly fills you with happiness. 🤗 Sunny sky. The Fujisan Special Drink, based on soda, boasts fine bubbles, a refreshing fruity aroma, and childhood memories. Its color is like bringing the blue sky to the table. ☀️ It's slightly sweet, perfect with teba-maki or sansho shrimp toast to enhance the salty flavor. 😋 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥 Restaurant Name: Granny's Cafe Address: 1/F, The Nate, 176 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui #Granny's Cafe #cafe #Tsim Sha Tsui Food #Hong Kong Food #hkfood #hkfoodie #foodie #foodiehk #foodie #foodie #foodiehk #foodie #foodie #foodie #hkrestaurant #food #foodporn #foodphotography #camerafoodie #positiveenergypenguin #koopenchan #koupenchan
