To celebrate the Olympics, which opened last week, a cafe in Mongkok has created a series of flower teas based on the five colours of the logo for the Games - blue (Europe), yellow (Asia), black (Africa), green (Australia) and red (America). The cafe, which opened in Mongkok's Dundas Street cafe hub about two months ago, offers a variety of flower teas including the 12 zodiac signs series and smoothies imported from the United States. The cafe plans to update its menu constantly and is going to serve southern French cuisine in the near future. While customers can order the dishes shown on the menu, they can also request the special dishes and pasta of the day. 5th Floor Cafes Flat B, 5/F, Ko's House, 577 Nathan Road, Mongkok Tel: 2770 4688 Opening hours: noon to 3am 1. Low fat, non-sugar mixed berry cake ($50) Rating: 4.5/5 YP: It is only available at weekends. The cake is very tasty with a nice egg flavour. The strawberry topping is very fresh. The amount of cream is just right. 2. Cream cheese and bacon pasta ($38) Rating: 4/5 YP: The cream cheese and bacon are not too rich, which makes a good balance for dry pasta. 3.
