Pacific coffee finally has some Christmas themed items to compete against Starbucks Christmas selection, they have Turkey and cranberry bun, bread and butter pudding, and Triple chocolate delight.

I should have tried the bread and butter pudding first, but it looked a bit greasy, so I tried the Triple chocolate delight, basically it has 4 layers, top layer being white chocolate mousse sprinkled with castor sugar, second layer chocolate mousse, third layer blackcurrant jam, and fourth layer soaked chocolate sponge.

On my last visit I had the cuttlefish burger, which is not the usual beef or chicken I had before, this time I came back for the chicken and beef.

Both the chicken and beef have changed, they used to be thin, especially the chicken, it used to be the Vietnamese sausage texture, but size of a burger patty.

This time, the chicken patty was made of chicken mince, also saltier than before, the beef patty was roughly the same as before but thicker, both still as juicy.

The only thing that let it down was the fries, slightly over cooked and the gravy tasted a bit oily.
Overall the new restaurant is better than the old place, much more spacious, with friendly and handsome staff

Was bought afternoon snacks by friends, surprisingly the Chinese toast was ok, it didnt taste very eggy, and the butter was separated.

As for the egg tart, it tasted of egg tart mixed with Portuguese tarts.
The egg filling was firmer than usual tarts.

[Review 600] New Apple Pie packaging and new taste? @ 麥當勞 McDonald's

I haven’t had an apple for ages, so got one, instead of the red packaging it is now green, and gives off quite a refreshing feel too./
Anyway, it reminds me of sour apple sweets, the apple pie had a slight sour tinge to it, which is what you would expect for non McDonalds apple pies which are not sweetened.

The apple pies I had at McDonalds before are usually sweetened, perhaps this is a new healthy version, and it still tastes good.

Tried the roasted chicken, however the taste was more like grilled chicken with the oil grilled tasted, other than that it was ok, the rices were clumpy and coarse as usual, but the chicken ala king tasted good, reminded me of school dinners.

In comparison the new Flava roasted chicken doesn't taste as good as the roasted chicken wings.

The egg-tart was totally burnt, had to peel off the black skin on top of the tart.

Just couldnt resist another BK breakfast, especially the croissant with egg, cheese and mushroom.
The ham and egg was also good too, wafer thin ham with egg and cheese, however if I ordered the one with croissant, it would have tasted perfect, so I guess there will be a next visit.

I was rather surprised this placed was fully booked, anyway ordered fish stomach soup, stir-fried vermicelli with baby oysters, prawn pot with glass noodles, and prawn paste water spinach.
The fish stomach soup was rather peppery and hot in temperature, so it was very hard to taste the soup, until it cooled down, but the pepper taste in the soup stood out the most.

The vermicelli was good, silver thread vermicelli, although it could be slightly saltier as there was not much taste to it.

The prawn pot was ok, there was alot of glass noodles and again very distinctive in black pepper, also there were pieces of pork fat in it too~!

The vegetables tasted how it should nothing spectacular about it.
