Weekday unbeatable $99 tea set for 2
2016-07-22  625 瀏覽
This must be the cheapest weekday tea set you can get and it includes two drinks as well.
I thought it was a new promotion but according to their Facebook, they had it last year but some of the items were different.
The current tea set features green tea gelato, custard croissants, sandwiches etc.

I really liked the set because I liked most of the items and they were not too heavy or sweet.

As well as the tea set, we had other stuff as well.
Tried the new green tea cheesecake which comes in different sizes.

It was quite rich with a good balance of green tea flavour to it.

My other favourite was the croissant because it was filled with thickly sliced luncheon ham and scrambled egg.



The Earl Grey cake was my favourite because I just love Earl Grey.

Great noodles and broth

To be honest, I only went here because the shop I wanted to go to was closed.
Luckily, the noodles were good.
 0 讚好

It was nice that they had Taiwanese noodles as a choice because it was really good and tasted like pasta.
It felt like I was having Taiwanese beef noodles because I chose beef toppings with beef gravy paired with Taiwanese knife cut noodles.
The broth was nice which made my visit worth while, however there were not many toppings to choose from.

It was a hot summers day and it was comforting that they provided portable air conditioning.

In the UK, most people will have a real Christmas tree or decorative Christmas tree for Christmas to put Christmas presents beneath it.
As it is difficult and expensive to get them here I don’t usually bother.
The Christmas tree cake at Spade by Lassana was really pretty.
Early birds can get it for $208 but the normal price is $248.

I was really impressed and happy with it because it was delicious as well as pretty.The outside is piped green tea cream and the inside is fluffy chocolate cake, which is not too sweet so I ended up eating all the green tea cream because it was really nice and not too grassy.
They also had cookies, which come in four flavours that make great gifts.
The four flavours are Earl grey, black pepper, black sesame and chocolate chips, which are crumbly with a buttery taste.
I liked the Earl Grey and Black pepper.

After buying a crappy tiny Swiss roll for $68 I decided to investigate what $69 could buy.
I ended up getting a crème brulee cheesecake for $58, which is cheap as it was on promotion for $58 as an introductory offer.
Anyway, it had crisp caramelized layer on top which is why it is called a crème brulee cheesecake.
The texture was dense but velvety and the cheesecake had a fragrant creamy aftertaste.
It was sweet as well with a hint of lemon and it tasted of camembert.

This branch is better than the TKO branch because they have a small table for you to stand there and eat.
The staff there are consistently cocky as the other branches.

There was not much soy sauce so asked for some more and it got flooded with sauce.

Luckily the soy sauce was not too salty but it made the ricerolls difficult to eat because the sauce made the ricerolls unravel.

Last time the food was ok but this time the Chinese radishes were really bitter and after eating them I felt sick and needed the shxts.
The noodles were ok, the curry sauce was bland and watery.

Stopped by for some quick snacks.
Most of the items were sold out so ended up getting fishballs and shaomai.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fishballs:
I don't normally eat fishballs because they contain grounded bones, but these were quite nice and bone free.
They were tiny which is why you got 10 for $6.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
shaomai:
The fish shaomai were disappointing because they tasted too fishy and desperately needed chili oil to get rid of that unpleasant fishy taste.
They were the same ones that you can get from Circle K with the thick yellow wonton skin and floury filling.

[Review 3374] Having snacks at a Herbal Tea joint @ 王老吉涼茶 Wong Lo Kat Herbal Tea

It was dinner time and everywhere was packed and noisy.
However this shop was empty because people just assume herbal tea places only serve snacks and tea eggs.
After i sat down, I spotted more snacks and ordered them.
As usual, after I sit down in an empty shop, people start to come in and dine there too!!

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Shaomai:

The shaomai was the standard ones that they get from suppliers.
Made with ground fish and flour.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Noodles:


There was Chinese radish, chicken wing tips, fishballs and pigs skin on top of mountain yam noodles in curry sauce.
According to the menu, it seems to say lemon curry but I could not taste any lemon, and the instant noodles just tasted like the usual ones but were thinner and it probably had an insignificant percentage of mountain yam but significant enough to claim it was mountain yam instant noodles.
The Chinese radish was a bit old and stringy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Malaysian Bak kut teh :


There was too much white pepper in it that you end up burning your throat before the herbal effects start to work.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Although there wasn't anything exciting about the food, it was better than being ripped off with rubbish food in that mall.
