Mini Aquarium with soggy sand
2018-08-08  133 瀏覽
I was in the area so discovered this cute joint.
The mini Aquarium dessert looked fun to eat so decided to try it.
Each one is garnished with so called sand and a candy seashell.
The stuff that was pretending to be sand was soggy if you compare it to the pictures on social media.
Anyway, apart from that it was just a bland lychee  mousse with butterfly pea jelly on top.
It was not that sweet and the lychee mousse was light and not too creamy.

Worth the travel to eat at Bobsang

Since I tried Joomak, I've have been a regular because the Korean dishes are different.Sadly Joomak is always crowded hence it is a bit of a wait.
Found out about Bobsang which is strikingly similar to Joomak hence I decided to go and try it out.
At first it was confusing because I kept seeing vegetarian buffets but it turns out that it is two restaurants Bobang Green and Bobsang.
I was advised to try Bobsang first because you can order the items that are available at Bobsang Green.

I know it sounds silly, but Tsing Yi is not as far as it seems because it is only one stop away from Lai King.

Started with a drink as it was a hot day.

The menu was wonderful because you get to choose and decide your own combinations with the rice, Tteokboki ingredients and sauces etc.

I had the Tteokboki because there were three sauces to choose from and chose the kale and vegan cheese with okra and vegan ham.
This is why I love Bobsang as you get to experiment with different ingredients without kimchi.
Since I am allergic to Kimchi, I am so glad the dishes at Bobsang do not revolve around kimchi.

As expected it was really tasty and mildly cheesey.
Next was the tofu with fried burdock and sesame sauce.
It was a nice contrast of soft and crispy textures infused with sweet sesame sauce dressing and seaweed which gives it that nice unami flavour.

For mains, I had the Veg Jeon which was colourful and delicious, again it was good there are non kimchi options.
It was loaded with purple cabbage, taro, carrots and mushrooms, the taste was good because you can taste mainly vegetables and it was well done as it was not oily.

They had softserve made with fruit!!

The red dragonfruit was sold out so it was replaced with peach while the other flavour was tofu.
Both were really impressive as they were really soothing especially the peach as you could taste a whole peach in it without the artificial sweetness.

I am definitely coming back for the buffet sometime but I hope they open another branch in TKO!!!

The East Ocean Gourmet group is famous for their big peachy longevity buns stuffed with big Vietnamese egg yolks oozing with golden oil.They recently gave out 888 of these longevity buns at TsingYi to spread their love.

I was also in the area attending someone's birthday which of course had these gourmet longevity buns!!

It started off with the crispy suckling pig which was tender and tasty.

Next were the squid slices, springy prawns and sugar snap peas which were glistening and appetizing.

The vegetables were in this delicious light gravy that was not too salty and heavy with the courses to come.

Next were the huge bouncy minced crab claw, usually served during banquets.

The soup was one of my favourites that night loaded with my favourite bamboo piths, again it was light and satisfying.

The fish is always my favourite and it was steamed just right and the fish was flakey.
 0 讚好

After eating quite a bit of the fish, I was a bit full for the mushrooms, so I decided to leave some room for the chicken and noodles.
 0 讚好

As always I pick the white meat and it was still tender and moist so it was done nicely.

Finished the last course with efu noodles laced in shrimp roe which gave it such a briny flavour.

Now to the moment of excitement because everyone was looking forward to the buns!
The bun was soft and fluffy with this huge yolk oozing with golden oil, it was so nice that I finished someone elses bun too.

There was also the dessert soup which I gave to the person sitting next to me because she gave me her bun!

Got this because I love clotted cream and it seemed delicious the fact that it had Dorset clotted cream in it.
I couldn’t quite taste the cream because it was mixed into the scone but the pieces of strawberry were quite fragrant and it was not too sweet.
To conclude, it would definitely taste good with some whipped cream!

Had a visit from a friend and whenever she visits, she always gets eggtarts and Chinese donuts from Tai Cheong.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chinese donut:
The donut was very airy inside not like the western donuts and the inside was interestingly soggy and cold.
The donut exterior was like a huge choux bun and crispy coated in sugar.
At first I thought the dampness of the dough was the frying oil, but it was not.
The donut is big but when you bite into it, it is actually like a sponge and compresses. The donut exterior was chewier than the western type.
Overall I still prefer the western donut, but the inside of the Chinese donut is nice in the sense that it is moist and similar to fresh airy bread.
It is really similar to a sugar coated soggy American popover.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
There were eggtarts too but the only eggtart I like at Taicheong are the big ones.

Tried the baked garlic butter Foilicious chicken, which was guaranteed to be juicy.
Previously tried the herb flavour in this series and in comparison, the garlic butter version tastes better.
The MSG was not so strong and the butter strength was just right.
However it is slightly oilier than the Herb version.
The Chicken was slightly over grilled and darker than the herb version, there was crushed garlic on top of the chicken.

In general I really liked it and hope there will be another interesting flavour coming soon for the next foilicious series such a Lemon or maybe curry spices.
