Restaurant review: Floom Floom in TST – tranquil cafe serves great-value Japanese
There’s a focus on healthy fare at Floom Floom, with ingredients such as tofu, beetroot and avocado, and unlike many of Tsim Sha Tsui’s cheaper restaurants, no pressure to vacate your table for waiting guests
With wooden tables and tatami seating on a wooden platform, new upstairs cafe Floom Floom in Tsim Sha Tsui exudes tranquillity and relaxation.
The cafe is opened by a local designer who studied in Japan, where he spent a lot time relaxing in such establishments.
With a focus on health, the dishes incorporate ingredients such as tofu, avocado and beetroot. The menu is changed every month to make use of seasonal ingredients.
We ordered the yuzu pepper grilled chicken and shrimp salad (HK$88). The chicken and shrimp were fresh and went well with the sesame sauce.
The avocado, crab and scallop sashimi onsen rice (HK$108) was a delight, with fresh seafood and the rice mixed with a semi-liquid onsen egg. The dish came with a plentiful amount of salad greens.
