Desserts that make up for the steaks
2020-01-24  484 瀏覽
Tried this place ages ago.
To be honest, I was not impressed by the beef but the desserts were better even though they are probably the frozen cakes that they buy.

The toffee caramel cheese roll was definitely a good one visually as well as taste.
It had glistening gold stripes and sliced in an odd way.
The taste was to my liking because of the cheese filling tasted more like buttercream in the middle.

As for the purple potato cake, it was just your usual standard cake with purple potato piped on top to decorate it.

To summarize, either it depends on luck whether you get a good steak or their steaks are just not good.

Tried these noodles ages ago.
At that time they didn't come in individual packets which makes them prone to humidity etc.
Now they are packaged and clearly labelled.
Tried the truffle one and porcini which is thin and thick.

Both were convenient and quick to eat, all you do is add hot water and let the noodles soften for a bit and they are ready to eat.
I decided to have mine with abalone and fishmaw so plonked them on top!

Spotted this joint while dining at Ones Cafe opposite.
Went here one afternoon to try it out.


The menu had beef noodles, rice etc.

Taiwanese beef noodles are a must so got a soup and soupless one with two sides.
The beef noodle soup came in a rich brown caramel soup topped with tendons, intestines, beef and carrots.

The side was much the same in a smaller bowl laid of top of radish.

The slobbering noodles (quoted from the menu) was a little different than anticipated as there was sesame dressing which is heavy and sweet.
 0 讚好

After tossing it together it was fragrant and delicious.
The noodles were firm with a chew.
The tendon side dish was soft and gelatinous so I got my beef and tendons satisfied.

For drinks had the Taiwanese tea which was just the usual. 0 讚好

Overall, another option in the area.

Went here for dinner as I was hungry and they offered steamed fish which is something I wanted to eat.The decor was aqua blue with a modern touch.
The menu:

Ordered meat patties and steamed fish.
The meat patties were damn good as it was lean and there were not any strange chewy bits in it, perfect with rice and it wasn't too salty.

The steamed fish was delicate and fresh so it was just what I wanted.
Overall, very satisfied so I will come back for fish!
The fish gets sold out quickly so be sure to get there early.

A while ago I saw photos of yoghurt and rice drinks in MK but never tried it because I just couldn't be bothered to wait.

Discovered this yoghurt drinks shop while I was at Whampoa so I decided to try it as they have the yoghurt rice drink.
There are various of flavours but I decided to try the original.
Out of all the three yoghurt rice drinks I have tried so far, this one is my favourite and I look forward to trying the MK branch as they have more flavours like Melon and grapefruit.
The name of the shop is normal compared to the Yogost which is yoghurt spelt in a weird way and according to their IG, there is a branch in Australia.
I liked it because the yoghurt was smooth and there was plenty of purple rice at the bottom that was chewy and filling.
The yoghurt drink had a strange viscous texture.
They also have these mini yoghurts which come in three flavours.

Guaranteed CRUNCHY Chicken

Just felt like having fried chicken so went to Jollibee in Whampoa because I was in the area.
Ordered two pieces of fried chicken with fries and a drink for HKD40.
Unfortunately, they served Hong Kong style milk tea and it was as dark as coffee.
The taste was super bitter.
If I knew it was Hong Kong style drinks I would have got the a la carte.
As for the fried chicken, the coating was damn crispier than before as stated on the flyer which I didn't notice.
Honestly I prefer the fried chicken before when it wasn't so crispy but the sad people here love crispy chicken because if it is not crispy they think its not fried properly.
Same go for the retards complaining that English chips are not crispy.
The other piece of chicken was so dry and woody.

It was raining and this drinks place had a sitting area so went it for some drinks.

The decor was quite nice and there were some cute hamster plushies.
If you are bored you can try your luck at the soft toy claw machine.
I thought this place would serve cereal drinks or something related but they specialized in taro which is reflected in their Chinese name.
Ordered the Taro and Tapioca pink drink and the Taro balls soy milk.
I had the taro drink because I liked the combination of tapioca and taro.
To be honest, it was quite filling but the best thing it was not too sweet.
The pink and grey colours of this drink go so well together.
I didn't try the other drink but my friend said it was quite good.
