Sweet cravings satisfied

It is really difficult getting good donuts but Great Food Hall is a good option as they have lots of different donuts, scones and pastries etc.
Got the French Crueller, Bomblini and Raspberry Donut.
Devoured the French Crueller imediately, it was nice but I wasn't very fond of it because it was moist and eggy in the middle.
The bomblini and donut was a surprise, I had them the next day and there was no oiliness or rancid oil taste to it.
The doughnut was perfectly fluffy and and soft while the filling complimented it nicely.

Affordable quality Japanese fare
2018-10-03  628 瀏覽
Previously this spot used to be another Japanese Joint.
Anyway, it has now changed to Senbadou serving high quality yet fast Japanese fare.
When you get there, there are two self ordering kiosks which are easy to use and being located in the city, there was English and what you see is what you get as it has pictures of each dish.

It has almost everything covered from sushi, donburi, curries, congee, ramen, tempura etc.
On the side, there is a condiment table and self service water.
The decor is modern and bright which makes the dining experience good.



Again, the best time to try is in the evenings when the office crowd has gone.
To be surprise, every dish was good as I am quite picky with Japanese food.

Here was what we ate.
~~~~~
Deluxe Assorted Sushi:


When it came, it was already an eye turner as there was smoke coming out of it.
The sushi looked so good that it was almost unreal but baring in mind that they weren't busy so it should look good.
Shared the sushi but I had the salmon roe one which was my favourite and it was fresh, also had the flounder skirt sushi which was soft and almost melts in your mouth.
~~~~~~
Maguro Minced Tuna with Onsen Tamago:



With fresh ingredients, it is hard to go wrong and all that finely chopped spring onions was just sensational.
~~~~~~
Fried Rice with eel and sakura shrimp:



The fried rice was topped with so much dried shrimps which give it that crispy briny shrimp aroma.
~~~
Snapper porridge with assorted seafood:


I love congee and the one here is very healthy with corn and okra so it was light and tasty.
~~~~
Burger Curry:



I don't often like Japanese curries as they tend to be sweet but this one was sweet with a difference as you can seriously taste the apple and it was fruity.
~~~~~~
Okinawa Brown Sugar Matcha Latte:



Finished with the latte which had a right balance of milk and brown sugar so it wasn't too sweet.

Definitely will be back in the evenings for the salmon and salmon roe rice bowl and curry.

The Jaffa cake is basically a layer of Genoise sponge base, a layer of orange jelly coated in chocolate.
In 2016, Marks and Spencers had the Dark chocolate and Cherry Jaffa cake which tasted like blackforest cake but the cherry jelly was not tart enough.
Now they have this new Raspberry Jaffa Cake which I decided to try as well, there is also lemon and lime which I hope to try later.
The raspberry is really fragrant and quite tart compared to the cherry so I really liked it.

Back for Pandan

Came here especially for the Pandan Panna Cotta!
Ended up having the Pandan Latte as well
The pandan panna cotta was really creamy and thick with a fragrant pandan taste.
Finished with the drink and I could still taste the lovely pandan so the pudding and drink are in harmony and does not over power each other.

Refreshing fruit teas
2018-06-17  612 瀏覽
Elephant Grounds has been around for a while and it was my first time trying them out.
I remember going to the branch on Gough Street for Ice Cream cookies but they were sold.
Anyway, they are now at Pacific Place!!
Tried two fruit teas which were really good especially the one with Passionfruit!!
The other one was blended with golden kiwis which gives it that lovely golden colour and it has pretty ruby pomegranite seeds at the bottom.
Will be back to try the Thai cinammon tea!
If the fruit teas are too fancy, there is a menu lurking at the counter which I didn't discover until I went to order.

This is the second branch with its first in Quarry Bay.
They have the wraps, salads, hot dishes and desserts which are grab and go.


As a pandan lover,I had the pandan latte.

I was really excited because I have never had it in latte form before.


The colour of the latte was pastel mint green which reminds me of mint icecream in UK but strangely mint icecream is not popular in Hong Kong.
It was absolutely the best latte I have had because I just love Pandan.
The smell was good and the sweetness was just right as well as the temperature so I'll definitely come back for it.
I was pretty chuffed because it had a lovely foam cap on top.

[Review 6255] Earl Grey pistachio icelolly @ ISEE iSEE Handcrafted Icy Desserts

Noticed this store because of the Priscilla poster.
There was a promotion earlier for Priscilla pop.
BUY PRISCILLA TICKETS AND GET PRISCILLA PARTY ICE POPS
Had the pistachio earl grey icelolly which was very creamy with a strong earl grey taste.
At the bottom there was delicious pieces of crushed pistachio.
The only improvement was the rigidity because the icelolly was a bit too soft so I had to eat it quickly.
Will go again for other flavours!

My second guacamole chicken muffin
2017-09-26  313 瀏覽
Even though my first guacamole chicken muffin experience was not good I decided to go to a different branch to see how it compared.
This branch was really good because the muffin looked picture perfect, almost as if it was for a food shoot.
There was lots of guacamole that was evenly spread over the patty.
Overall, the chicken muffin was really tasty because the guacamole made it nice and creamy but it was slight salty.
The only thing that it lacked was the mayonnaise, there was not enough to taste it.

Went here because I was invited to the UnionPay event.
After the event for was a mini buffet for guests.
The juicy asparagus was nutty and tender.
The chunks of beef were soft and meaty in rich gravy.
Dessert was good because they had cream puffs filled with fresh cream and raspberries.
It was simply delicious with bites of tart raspberry and fresh cream.

Summer is here so I decided to try DALLOYAU's new summer ice cream selection.
There are three new colourful flavours: Rose, Raspberry and tropical Peach & Mango.
Tried all three and personally I like the raspberry because it is sweet and fresh tasting like Yoplait's raspberry yoghurt.
The rose was really fragrant so it all depends if you like rose while the peach and mango I found quite sweet.
Other sweet treats such as Macarons, strawberry mousse cake and the raspberry opera.

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.

My dad was in HK so decided to get him a cute decorated suckling pig from Good BBQ which is something that you probably won't find in the UK presented like this.
It was delivered on time and the design was a lovely surprise because it was for Father's day and I left the design over to them.
The eyes flash.
The tie had two sides to it.
After chopping it up, it was enough for the eight of us and the sauces were hidden beneath the pig.
The suckling pig was crispy and the meat was tender and well seasoned that it didn't really need the sauces.
