Enjoy Balinese Vibes and Irresistible Desserts at Be Leaf (Kwun Tong)

Restaurant: Be Leaf (Kwun Tong) Address: Shop 2, G/F, Imperial Plaza, 55 King Yip Street, Kwun Tong Be Leaf has been quietly operating in Kwun Tong's Imperial Plaza for three years now. Every time I pass by this cafe, I'm drawn in by its exquisite Balinese-inspired decor 🤩. Plus, it's pet-friendly, so you can bring your furry friends to chill 🐶. It's definitely a great place to relax and pass the time, not to mention their outstanding fusion dishes and unique desserts 😋. Every corner of the restaurant exudes a laid-back vibe, thanks in large part to the abundant plant decorations 🌴. During lunch, there are over ten main courses to choose from, all reasonably priced and portioned. The cheapest option is the Garlic Spicy Pepper Chicken with Japanese Pearl Rice at $82, while the most expensive is the Pan-Seared New Zealand Premium Ribeye Steak at $168 🥩. For an additional $18, you can upgrade to a set meal that includes the soup of the day, bread, and a choice of Earl Grey Tea, Roselle Tea, or Iced Tea. You can also pay extra for other drinks ☕️, such as their homemade Caramel Biscuit Coffee (+$28) with a caramel aroma, or the Chenpi Roselle Tea (+$15), which is good for detoxifying and lowering blood pressure and lipids. Any of these drinks are perfect for snapping photos 📸 in any corner of the restaurant. ✝️ Spicy White Wine Butter Sautéed Crab Meat and Scallop Pasta $118 This seafood pasta 🍝 is generously portioned with hand-picked crab meat and scallops, along with edamame for garnish. While I personally didn't find the edamame to be a perfect match, it did add some color and didn't taste out of place. The pasta is sautéed in a spicy white wine and butter sauce 🍶, making it mildly spicy and appetizing 🌶️. ✝️ Sweet and Sour Sauce Slow-Cooked American Pork Ribs with Fries $158 These pork ribs are slow-cooked and baked for 16 hours 🔥, resulting in incredibly tender meat. The six ribs are covered with a good amount of pork, and the sweet and sour sauce enhances the flavor without being overpowering. The dish also comes with fries, though they might lose some crispiness from absorbing the sauce 🤏. ✝️ Classic Tiramisu Soufflé Pancakes $128 (Half Price $64) Dessert lovers, take note 👀! If you book a table in advance and order a lunch set, you can get any dessert at half price 🍰, with no limit on the number of desserts 😍. This time, I tried their signature Tiramisu Soufflé Pancakes 🥞. Since the dessert chef makes it fresh to order, it does take some time, and it might sell out. The rich Tiramisu sauce, along with plenty of chocolate chips and cocoa powder, is generously spread over two thick pancakes, resembling a waterfall 😆. The pancakes are airy yet soft and fluffy, with a delightful egg aroma 🤤. Don't throw away your receipt after paying‼️ The receipt also serves as a coupon 🎊. If you return within 14 days, you can use the receipt to get a free Thai Pandan Basque Burnt Cheesecake 🍰 or Hojicha Soft-Centered Basque Burnt Cheesecake 😚.
