Donut latte

Discovered this donut latte at the convenience store so decided it try it even thought it is evidently latte with a squirt of Monins doughnut flavoured syrup.
I wouldn't describe the donut taste as strong but it was a nice latte that was not too sweet with a cakey sweet aroma to it.
It is interesting to see them offering lunches as well.

I was in the area again and tried the soba noodles and laksa broth which were not on the menu before.
All the seats inside were occupied so sat outside in the nasty heat.
Unfortunately, the broth was too spicy for me.
The cappuccino on the other hand was really good which means bad coffee for others because I like weak coffee.

Previously this spot used to be my favourite Jiang Shan Xiao.
Anyway, it is now 7-Eleven Daily Cafe.
They have some cute buns which were not there the second time I went.
There are bar tables indoors and tables outside.

Beneath the stools, there are boxes to put your belongings.
The menu and microwaves.
Ironically, they use the same style of bowls that Jiang Shan Xiao used to use.
Deep cardboard bowls.
They also put peasprouts which Jiang Shan Xiao used to do for takeaway noodles.
The noodle broth had a very strong MSG taste.
Non noodle choices are probably a better option but this is only offerered using office hours.

The only good thing here is the self check out kiosk.
Anyway, tried the meals from the counter and the beef was dry and hard.

The Okinawa brown sugar bun looked good so decided to try it.

Okinawa brown sugar bun:

It was soft and fluffy but a little dry for my liking.
The brown sugar taste was light and it was not too sweet.

I was surprised that the local convenient store had a special edition bun for Valentines day.
(They were still selling them on the 16th of February, the day I got them)
It was basically two heart shaped buns filled with chocolate paste.
There was a set that includes the hot chocolate drink and two buns for $13.

Sweetheart buns HKD10:
The appearance of these buns were the same as Chinese steamed buns, but they were pink and heart shaped.

Part of the bun was slightly dry and hard.
If it was not dry and hard then the bun would have been perfect.

I suspect it was dry because they did not manage to sell all the buns on Valentines days, so they are selling the remaining stock.

The filling in the middle was thick chocolate paste that was not too sweet.


The poster did not mention whether the filling was runny or not, so I did not have any expectations.
Anyway, I really liked it because it was a modernized Chinese bun filled with chocolate!

Fresh Lemon chicken salad:
This small packet of salad looked appetizing so decided to get it.
Basically it was julienne carrots, onions, cucumber and shredded chicken in lemon juice with some chinese White vinegar.
Overall it was nice and refreshing, I would have preferred the lemon to be stronger.
