Much better than the previous apple tart they sold,
the apple crumble was full of flavour and I had mine with lots of cream.
The only thing was, that i thought there should be more apple in proportion to sultanas. As I could taste a bit too much of sultanas, and the colour was dark brown instead of the light green cooked apple colour.
[Review 180] Neat Baguette @ 山地人越南法包專門店 MR. Vietnamese Baguette House

山地人越南法包專門店 MR. Vietnamese Baguette House
北角宏安道2-12號宏輝大廈地下9號舖
Shop 9, G/F, Wang Fai Mansion, 2-12 Wang On Road, North Point
Arrived at this baguette house, previously Toppings, was amazed how it had been redecorated.
It looks very green like a health shop, with pretty displays, and cute little bottles of their own branded fish sauce (not for retail).
Anyway ordered the Vietnamese sausage and prawn salad, and the baguette with abalone mushrooms to takeaway.
After a long journey home of bumps and humps, I was very surprised the baguette was still intact and the fillings had not fallen out.
For the salad, I was given three tubs of chilli vinegar, frankly two is sufficient.
Now to the food, the baguette was bursting with different tastes with every mouthful,
sometimes I could taste the black pepper, coriander, spring onion, then the meaty mushrooms, and then the sausage. However I couldnt taste the duck liver pate, the thing I was most looking forward to. Maybe I will order the liver toast next time.
As for the salad, the cabbage and carrots were sliced nice and thin, soaking up the sauce well, however the Jelly fish was cut in little squares. I would have preferred shredded jelly fish, which was be easier to fork out with the greens. Surprisingly I could taste some liver in the salad. I have the same opinion as FoodieWil that the salad tastes a little too sweet for my liking.

[Review 179] Magnificient thunder @ Outback Steakhouse

Came here to spend the afternoon, not many people here, so ordered the Chocolate thunder.
Looking deadly sickly on the picture, it tasted nothing like that.
The warm moist cake was mixed in with nuts, giving it a lovely nutty texture, and with the chocolate sauce, ice-cream, and cream, it tasted heavenly, not sickly at all.
The best chocolate brownie in town.

Frankly I dont really like to go yum cha, but had to go as they only liked that kind of food.
So ordered spare ribs and black bean sauce with rice, chicken and mushroom with rice, and a beef cheung fun.
What made the food really tasty was the soy sauce, it was dark and sweet.

[Review 177] Good Dog @ Hot Dog Formula

Hot Dog Formula

九龍灣展貿徑1號國際展貿中心地下46號舖
Wanted to try this place for along time, anyway finally came here because of a concert.
I had a chicken and mushroom sausage with sauerkraut, mexican cheese dip sauce and baked beans. The cheese sauce was really good, and the texture of the sausage was really soft with no giblets. I prefer the sausages here because they are not grilled, hence the sausage skin is not like plastic.
Then ordered another two dogs, chilli dog, and a vienna dog with onions.
The chilli dog was very hot, just meat sauce only, no kidney beans, as for the Vienna dog, it tasted a bit boring, and the raw onions tasted the worst.
I think they used the wrong type of onions, as it was hot and not sweet at all.
Even in "toppings" and other places the onions taste sweet raw.
I think this place is similar to HotDog family as they use the same brands of sausages, but for simple dogs just come here, ie ketchup n mustard.

[Review 176] Trendy Trendy @ SLOWLY by da dolce

Really trendy place to eat, white and modern, with many magazines.
Anyway ordered the Steak burger and chicken and mushroom pasta.
Came fairly quickly, the burger was nicely done, and the pasta was better than I imagined, with chunks of grilled chicken thigh and lots of mushroom and sauce.
Finally for dessert, had peach yoghurt icecream, good chunks of peach in it.

[Review 175] Earl Grey @ Berrygood
24/09/2008
So cool everytime I come here, there is a surprise, rare flavours, this time Earl Grey, a tea flavour, a western version of Japanese green tea, except Earl grey has a better flavour.
Anyway looking forward to another flavour next time, something out of my mind.
