Had a craving for apple crumble and custard, so came here for it.
I came during tea time hours, and ordered the apple crumble and custard.
I waited at least 15 minutes for it, luckily I didnt order anything else, the apple crumble is ready made, and the custard is ready made, all that had to be done was to re-heat it.
The apple crumble and custard tasted ok, the crumble wasnt proper crumble.
The custard wasn't that hot either, although it tasted good overall, the service could have been quicker, same with waiting for my change, it took ages.

[Review 343] 3.6 Milk mystery solved @ 米芝甜 (已結業) McSweety

With so many places serving snowflake ice, this place has tofu flavour which is yet another flavour I havent tried.
So I ordered a plain tofu one, tofu pudding and 3.6 Hokkaido milk pudding.
Tofu snowflake ice:
Basically the same texture as the other ones, however the taste was not that sweet, and tasted exactly of soy milk (vitasoy, but not sweet)
Tofu pudding:
This was my favourite, light and fluffy, a bit like mousse. It was textured with coconut like particles in it, without that, it would have been dead flat, just like cream. The tofu flavour was better than the snowflake one, much sweeter and delicate.
3.6 Hokkaido milk pudding:
Before I came here, I was rather intrigued why it was named 3.6, it turns out the milk they used for this pudding is 3.6 hokkaido milk, as shown on the photos.
The texture of the pudding was rather wobbly like jelly, but not as firm as jelly.
For me, I found it slightly too creamy and lacking that hokkaido butterness aroma.

[Review 342] Limited service for takeaway @ sun King Yuen Curry 新景園咖喱小廚 (灣仔)

Dined in before, so this time tried their take-outs.
In general, it is half the price, and the choices are either curry, tomato, or sweetcorn, with pork cutlet, fried chicken, or fried fish fillet.
Basically the chicken, pork, fish fillets are crunchy, so it will go well with any of the options.
The only item that is not available for take out is the fried noodles with beef.
The service is appalling for takeout, if you pre-order on the phone, they force you to collect at a specific time, to benefit themselves, so there is a collection batch at certain times.
Secondly dont expect any good phone manners, as soon as your order is through, they end the call immediately, so there is no chance of requesting a collection time to suit you or any additional extra requests that you may want.
Thirdly, on collection, you should be careful how much change they give you, for some bizarre reason, they were adamant, they gave me more change, in which I had to give it back, so I will not be back for a while.

[Review 341] Strawberry frappe and Strawberry iced tea 麥當勞 (金鐘) McDonalds

Tried both the strawberry frappe and the iced tea, both mixed with strawberry puree/syrup, it contained bits of strawberry seeds.
Strawberry frappe just tasted syrupy and very sweet, very cold due to the crushed iced.
I thought the strawberry tea was much nicer, frothy foam made from the cocktail shaker.
The sweetness of the strawberry complemented the delicate tea.

[Review 340] Cheesy chicken 肯德基家鄉雞 (KFC) (Kentucky Fried Chicken)

灣仔莊士敦道112號雙喜樓地下4&5舖及1樓A&B舖

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/cheesy-chicken-e2014030
Got the fried chicken with cheesy coating, it was just like the advertised picture.
I was assuming the cheese bits would be melted during the cooking process, but you can actually see cheddar bits on the coating.
(well actually it is cutlet powder coated in cheese powder, so thats why it didnt melt)
On its own, the chicken isnt that cheesy, only a slight hint from the cheese powder.
The sauce that came with it, was quite nice, strong creamy liquid cheddar, but it was slightly spicy, with red bits of spices in it, probably chili.
The tub of sauce was quite sufficient for the chicken, the plastic used for the tub was good grade, good for packaging but bad for the environment.
But anyway, quite a nice little tub, so I have kept it for future use.

[Review 339] Tofu Burger @ Freshness Burger (尖沙咀)

Shop OT242, 2/F, Ocean Terminal, Harbour City, 3-27 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui
Finally tried the Tofu and avocado burger.
Visited the TST branch, the service there was not as efficient as the one in Causeway bay.
Anyway, the tofu burger was 80% similar to one shown on their advertised picture.
The only discrepancy was the avocado, I was looking for traces of avocado lumps as shown in their advertised picture, I felt that because it was Tofu and Avocado, the amounts of avocado should be as much as the tofu.
Anyway, I like the burgers at Freshness, because of the butter lettuce, the special mayonnaise that is slightly tangy served with the fish burgers.
The tofu burger also had that lettuce and mayonnaise, the only thing I didn’t like was the Teriyaki sauce, and it didn’t go well with it.
The Teriyaki sauce was a bit over powering, slightly sweet and strong in smoked aroma, and the mayonnaise was creamy, so I felt it didn't complement that well.
Otherwise, I liked the solid tofu and the mayonnaise.
I thought the tofu size, could have been more generous, perhaps as thick as the beef patties, being a vegetarian burger, the tofu needs to be bigger in proportion to compensate for not eating meat. As well as that if there has been more avocado, the tofu could have stayed at that proportion.
Apart from this, the rest of the food was Ok, the pork burger had the signature thin shredded cabbage, dry and crunchy with refreshing sauce on it.
The Lemon tea surprised me too, light and not too sweet, with a subtle gentle tea taste in it.

[Review 338] Chocolate truffle cake and Colourful lamingtons @ Pacific Coffee 太平洋咖啡 (灣仔)
Pacific Coffee 太平洋咖啡 (灣仔)

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/chocolate-truffle-cake-and-colourful-lamingtons-e2012964
I love trying new things at Pacific coffee, so far I have tried their summer coolers such as the Cranberry and mixed berry, and the Cranberry and strawberry.
I tried the mixed berry one first, a bit of disappointed, the berry taste was a bit fake. The strawberry one was better, not that artificial. But in general the Chillinos served at Pacific coffee consists primarily of crushed ice and syrup. It doesn’t taste milky. It tastes Ok when you drink it immediately, but as I can’t, I drink it slowly, but when you leave it for a while, the ice and the liquid separates, so your left with flavoured watery liquid at the bottom.
The next thing I tried were the colourful Lamingtons, cube shaped sponged cakes, with cream in the middle, dipped in shredded coconut.
I think there are 8 flavours, passion (orange), mango (orange), blood orange (red), blackcurrant (purple), apple (green), guava (pink), chocolate, coffee (both brown.
The texture of the Lamingtons are nice and soft, with light cream oozing from the centre, the coconut is light and fresh, and not dry due to being in the fridge too long.
The latest cake I tried was the Chocolate Truffle cake, I was expecting a rich thick centre, but I was greeted with crunchy chocolate in the middle.
There was lots of chocolate mousse on the outside, not the bitter tasting one.
But overall it tasted OK.
