Buy the EARTH for $10!!
2019-01-21  180 瀏覽
Normally I get the fruit froyos but went past and saw this colourful icecream called The Earth

I don't really like eating foods with blue colouring but as it was marshmallow mint I decided to give it a try.
There was no price displayed but it turned out up to be HKD10 at the cash till which is pretty inexpensive.
I've forgotten how cheap their ice creams are because I usually get the frozen yoghurts.
Anyway, it just tasted like their usual mint chocolate ice cream with blue and green colouring.
There were bits of marshmallow in it too but I didn't find much.
Overall, if you like mint icecream then you will like it but for me it was just a once off trying it for a picture as I really do not like colourings.

Indeed a HAM burger
2019-01-21  25 瀏覽
It's the month of January and McDs has been rolling out consecutive offers for HKD10.
That day, they had 2 Ham and Cheese burgers for HKD10.
It was pretty efficient as they had a separate queue for these burgers but sadly you can't order using the self service kiosk.

I  had it without cheese and it was really good, even though there wasn't any sauce by default it was pretty good.
The reason I liked the ham patty is that it tastes like smokey luncheon meat/ham.
Anyway, if you've missed it, they serve this patty during breakfast with scrambled egg.

Spotted this on the menu which looked good so ordered it.
It looked like risotto when it came and I suppose you could classify it as risotto.
I liked the ingredients and pairing as it should be nutritious but the taste was a bit strange.
The brown rice odour was a bit off and the garlic bread just overpowered everything and made it all taste bland after eating it.

Crostini has expanded and there are so many Crostini cafes about serving pizzas and sandwiches etc.
Tried the pepperoni pizza.
The pizza base was surprisingly good as it was fresh, soft and chewy.
On the other hand the cheese was disappointing as it was tasteless but the olives and pepperoni saved the day.

Those were the days when Haagen Daaz was respected as an expensive icecream, but not anymore!
Practically everywhere you go, any so called softserve or icecream claiming to be from Japan is going to cost more than $30.
It was fate that I had the softserve because they have stopped serving pancakes.

The only thing that is special about this softserve is the appearance with the piping and the cone is different.
Thankfully, it tasted good as it didn't cause me to throw it away.
Although it was palatable, it wasn't the best softserve I have had but it merely tasted like evaporated milk in softserve form that wasn't too sweet.
The cone was really delicate that you had to hold it carefully as it literally crumbles and melts in your mouth like a thin cookie shaped into a cone..
Can't read Japanese so don't know what the 25% means!

Hong Kong is slow at launching new dishes that have already been launched elsewhere because their timid approach is to observe whether the product sells well in other countries before serving it.

Anyway, I discovered the pasta burger series on night as I was stuck in HH thanks to damn tourists and people commuting into shatkung.

There is no damn price on the menu so I had to ask which is annoying.
Decided to try the vegetarian one because I liked the combination.
 0 讚好

It took a while to come and I suspect it was the first time they were making it as no one has ordered it before.
Finally arrived and it looked just like the picture.
I liked the way they were serious with the presentation as I saw them cut the lettuce leaf into a circle with scissors.

It was really impressive, how the pasta held together, yet the texture was not too hard or dry.
 0 讚好


I was really glad I chose the Caesar because the sauce went really well with the pasta and it was appetizing with the shredded onions.
The other two are tempting to try but MOS has closed down for rennovation so I have to find another branch that serves it.

Beef cravings satisfied here
2018-05-06  69 瀏覽
Every now and then, I am always craving for some beef.Went here to cure my beef cravings because they serve it Western style and Asian style.
I like it simple. ie steak and fries but my friend preferred rice so had the Beef Donburi.
The beef donburi was a surprise because you get three different beef styles on the rice.Tenderloin, Rib eye and Thinly sliced beef!

My tenderloin was good as it was all cut up so I didn't have to cut it at all.

The tenderloin was relatively tasty and not too dry but the chips were a little cru
nchy for my liking as they tasted like they had been fried a few times.
Finished with Spanish coffee and coke float.

Could be better
2018-05-03  1198 瀏覽
While all the other joints at Food Lane have been running for a month, this joint has just opened recently.
It has an attractive open kitchen where you see a stack of roujiama buns.
I love roujiamas and they had modern ones like Thai style, Japanese style etc.
They also have pan fried dumplings, dimsum and these TaiShan inspired ricerolls.

I ordered the plain rice rolls with spring onions to see if they were anything like Full Congee and this other joint at Kai Tak.

This is what I got after a 20 minute wait.
To be honest they looked nothing like the Taishan rolls or the product shot.
The rolls were not thin, elastic and translucent but the usual ricerolls shaped to look like them!!
The spring onions on the ricerolls were supposed to enhance the taste but they did the exact opposite because they were evidently raw, grassy and bitter.
If only you could imagine chewing a bunch of green spring onions straight from someone's shopping bag from the wet market!!!!
The soy sauce that was given with it was dead sweet and the aroma from the polystyrene box was amazingly strong that it gets infused in the ricerolls.
Overall, wonderful!!!
The steamed bun was slightly better but too soggy even though I already took it out of the bag asap.

As well as Thai Desserts, they have other dishes like chicken etc but the desserts looked captivating and the portions were big so I got the coconut pudding and the coconut sago pudding.
The coconut pudding was ok but too sweet.
The coconut sago pudding was really good as it wasn't too sweet and there were generous chunks of sweetcorn and starchy taro.

I am so glad this joint opened as there are not enough vegetarian shops around.Everything gets sold out quickly and HKers do not seem to queue, whoever is the loudest gets served so if you patiently stand there thinking you will get served, you won't in HK.
I managed to get the coconut pudding with jelly in it.
It looked quite pretty as well as tasting quite nice.
The taste is like eating jelly with single cream together with coconut which is really similar to a dessert my friend made which was putting single cream and desiccated coconut flakes on jelly.

This is the second branch of Snacks Factory with its first at TKL.
There are lots of sauces like bolognese, cheese and truffle etc so I tried the bolognese.
Their bolognese sauce was actually quite nice because there was a rich tomato taste so it worked well with the rice rolls.
It would be good if the rice rolls were not that soft.

As well as this Juice Stand, ELIM has a veggie stall at Lok Fu and TKO according to its receipt hence their supply of fresh fruit and vegetables.
The lady was reluctant to give me a receipt because it involved taking her gloves off to write me a receipt!
Overall, there were too many customers for her to give a shat.
The Yakult options were interesting!
The Sweetness of Yakult with celery or carrot would be fun to try! Um  No Thanks.
I was tempted to have Auz Rock Melon juice but decided not to try it after listeria cases in Auz so went for the avocado, banana and milk.
It wasn't too sweet and there was more milk than avocado and banana so at least I got my daily dose of Calcium!

As well as Mochi, this place is popular for drinks.
After asking if the mochi was sweet or savoury but default, I decided to try the Grilled Cheese Mochi because they said it is flavourless by default with toppings added on.
Anyway, to my disappointment, I should have trusted myself that it was sweet by default as the fake cheese and sweetness of the mochi tasted weird together.
The texture was too chewy and dry like under cooked Shanghai Mochi coins.
I definitely recommend ordering the sweet ones if you really want to try.
