Ah Meow Café, Hong Kong

Ah Meow was a random hole in the wall we decided to visit since we heard about it and were in the area. It was pretty hard trying to locate it, and it lacks signboards and ads directing you to it but after some intense walking and google-mapping, we managed to find the place!

This Hong Kong cat cafe is super different from its Korean counterparts, and I'd have to say I kinda prefer the Korean Cat Cafés more. They're more well planned out in terms of their interiors - like having their F&B prep area tucked neatly in a corner, and their cat toilets well hidden. This one offered a more extensive menu (vs only drinks in Korea), which included cakes, pasta, chocolates and instant noodles. I only had a longan honey tea so I can't comment much about the food. The cats didn't seem to have any interest in human food, so rest assured, your food is safe. It seems though, that while Korean cat cafes provide you with toys and you can pay for snacks to feed cats, you have to come equipped with your own if you'd like to get the attention of these otherwise rather lackadaisical felines from Hong Kong.

What I liked about this one was that it was really cosy and had an artistic, laid back, indie touch to it. Many hand drawn characters adorn its walls, as well as notes and doodles from customers, and photos of the cats. They also sold stationery, accessories, and did made-to-order cakes. Ah Meow also offers boardgames for customers to while time away.

  4. Hi Huiping! I wish I could give you better directions but I was following google maps blindly :< if this helps, search "Foo Ming Ming Building Causeway Bay, Hong Kong" in Google Maps. (you'll get this http://maps.google.com.sg/maps?sugexp=chrome,mod%3D11&ix=h9&q=Level+3,+2-6+Foo+Ming+St+Po+Ming+BuildingCauseway+Bay,+Hong+Kong&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&sa=N&tab=wl) and you should be able to get directions from wherever you're staying at. Have fun!
