Went here again because of the pandan gelato.
The pandan taste was spot on but the texture was not on!
Although it tasted great, the texture was horrible because it was powdery and crumbly which made it very expensive for $35.
I think the fault lies in the cream they used as I have made easy icecream before where you just blend the flavour and whipping cream.
The icecream I made had the exact horrible texture as this one owing to the cheap crappy cream which ruined everything.

I have always wanted to try this place because of the mountain yam noodles.
There are various broths you can choose from just like cart noodles and then you choose the toppings.
I chose the spicy Sichuan broth which was very spicy.
The noodles were thin and absorbed the broth nicely but sadly the broth was sweet as well as spicy so it was nasty.

I have always wanted to try Bove but Kwai Fong is a little claustrophobic for my liking and I can't be bothered to queue there.
Spotted BOVE in MK so decided to try it.
I had the original souffle pancake and it was really nice because it wasn't too eggy or buttery like other places but then so far I have only tried Flippers, Laniege and now this one!!
Normally. it comes with sauce and powdered sugar but I requested it without and was really impressed as it tasted good on its own.
Will come back again for other flavours!!
Hopefully they will launch one with apple and whipped cream.

I was in KF for a food crawl.
This was not on my list to eat but noticed it because of the big satay which looks cool but also looks like turd to othe some people!!!
Got the Es dawet which was mainly flavoured by the coconut sugar.
The taste was very coconutty and it was not too sweet because I asked for less sugar not for health reasons but I just don't like drinks that are cloyingly sweet.
The green pieces were soft but couldn't quite taste anything.

I love avocado smoothies and the one here is sugar free.
It was only $28 which is cheap compared with the prices in the city.
The smoothie was lovely and thick with a balanced avocado and milk taste.
It was slightly savoury which a decent avocado taste to it.
They did not blend it with much ice so it wasn't watered down.

Went here specifically for the noodles tossed with chicken.
The portion was big and it was tasty.
The crispy pork skin was really good and the chicken was tender and soft.
I wanted the durian sticky rice but the durian was sold out so I opted without mango because I don't like mango.
The glutinous rice could have been better because the rice tasted a bit old.

Not my cup of tea
2017-08-14  2161 瀏覽
I went to Kwaihing on a food crawl getting food from stalls which looked potentially good.
Unfortunately, four out of four I tried were not good.
My hopes were too high for this place because I discovered they had cake flavoured teas made with 蛋糕漿.
There were three flavours: strawberry cake tea, blackforest cake tea and original cake tea.
My interpretation of 蛋糕漿 is cake batter/mix, the mixture you make to bake a cake.
Cake batter is so delicious that kids always lick the bowl and mixing spoons but ideally you shouldn't really risk it because it has raw egg so you might get salmonella.
Anyway as a child, I always licked the cake batter.
I did have second thoughts it wouldn't be real cake batter as they would risk their customers getting sick so I assumed the cake batter was egg free or it contained blended baked cakes.
Ordered the black forest cake tea.
While I was waiting, I managed to get a closer look at them making tea.
I was disappointed to discover that the black forest cake batter was CHOCOLATE CREAM!!!
Tried the tea and I didn't like their tea base because it was nasty HK style milk tea, the tea I hate the most.
The chocolate thick cream at the bottom made it slightly better because it disguised the tea taste but there were no cherries because blackforest cakes are meant to contain cherries.
Anyway, the chocolate cream which is right at the bottom of the cup does not mix well so you end up with just tea or just cream in your mouth!
So just imagine a mouthful of thick chocolate cream!!!!!
If only it had been real cake batter/mix then it would have been a different story, the tea would be thick and dreamy.

I went to Kwaihing on a food crawl getting food from stalls which looked potentially good.
Unfortunately, four out of four were not good.
This was my first stop because I wanted some carbs and the fact that I love buckwheat soba noodles and spicy chicken and this had both of the things I liked.
The soba noodles looked a bit different because they were flat strands like tagliatelle but the texture was ok.
The only complaint were the noodles because they were TOO SALTY that it was not really fit for consumption.
Technically you can eat it but you are just going to harm your health.
Anyway, the chicken was good, it was springy fresh and tasty.
$20 is a good deal for this but not a good deal when you can't eat it.

I went to Kwaihing on a food crawl getting food from stalls which looked potentially good.
Unfortunately, four out of four were not good.
This was the second one I tried because there were eight different suimai flavours:
shiitake mushroom, beef, black fungus, Spicy black fungus, cordeceps flower, mountain yam, cheese and bacon and sweetcorn truffle.
Decided to get $10 for 4 but after I paid found out the one I wanted wasn't available so I wasn't too impressed.
However she did give me some other flavour which was starchy which explains why there are 4.5 siumai's on the stick!
The texture was weird and stodgy.
The only decent tasting one was the Spicy Sichuan one which somehow tasted like British pork sausages.

My original plan was to get a purple potato milkshake from Mini jobs but Thanks to some salty noodles I needed a real drink.
Went here and got some grapefruit soda which was really good because it was freshly squeezed grapefruit with soda water added.
It was good that you can request it without sweetener too.

Got some noodles which were quite expensive for $30 but I suppose the portion was quite big.
There are three sauces to choose from: peanut sauce, Korean sauce and sesame sauce but I didn't have any because they are all sweet and I don't like  them.
The guy puts soy sauce in it as well so it won't be tasteless.
Unfortunately the tofu that I chose was sweet so that was disgusting and the imitation shark fins were really salty!!!
If he hadn't put the soy sauce, the flavours from the imitation sharks fin would have balanced the noodle nicely.

There are so many branches of Passion by Gerald Dubois. This new branch is frankly too far for me but went here because someone I know from Shortbread Teas works here!
She used to be at the Central branch of GD but she is now here.

Anyway, the place is packed with people because there is not much decent Western food here.
I went for the cakes and had tea.
++++++++++
Framboise chocolat:

Tried the new Framboise chocolat, which has refreshing raspberry mousse with chocolate paste in the middle that gives it a sweet balance.
++++++++++
Earl grey pear:


Then I had the Earl grey pear, which was an interesting pairing. I loved the fragrant earl Grey mousse contrasted by the gritty sweet pear paste in the middle.
++++++++++
Framboise pistache:


The Framboise pistache was the prettiest cake out of all three, layers of mint green and blush pink.
It was quite sweet with nutty tones of pistachio and sweet raspberry.
++++++++++
Jasmine tea:
I loved this tea because they used whole leaves which you can see.

Nice place and see you again soon T!

Traditional dumplings are made with glutinous rice and wrapped in plant leaves but now there are some modern ones called Ice dumplings because they have a clear translucent exterior and they are eaten cold.
There are quite a few flavours at ABR but there were only three I wanted to try which were purple sweet potato, apple and brown sugar.
They only had the purple one so I got that for $28.

The packaging was cute, you just peel off the lid and eat.
The dumpling exterior was very chewy and the purple potato puree was too sweet and tasted artificial so I think I will probably just buy the apple to try next.

When I saw this, I thought it was green tea but it was melon so I decided to try it.
I liked the layer of melon mousse and chunks of melon but the melon jelly on top was too sweet.
The dessert cup design was quite nice because it had a irregular shape that confuses the eye.
