Not very crumbly, and there was a layer of cake in it too, which made it not so authentic as an apple crumble.
The taste was OK.

[Review 807] It's waffling good @ Green Waffle Diner

It's name is intriguing, green waffles?? It turns out the green waffles are made with Pandan.
I assumed it was a place for waffles, but they also do meals too.
It is located nicely, a few doors away from the ABC hangout Berrygood, and now there is a sandwich place next to it as well.
There were so many things to choose from, so opted for two mains and a waffle at the end.
As I wanted to try the green waffle, I opted for the chicken meal which had 3 drumsticks, coleslaw and mash with gravy,
Actually I ordered it because of the mash and gravy.
The other dish ordered was the pit beef sandwich.
Chicken meal:
When it came, it was just chicken and fries, so I asked the waitress where the mash was, and she said they made a mistake, so they gave me the mash and gravy later on.
Despite that, the drumsticks were huge and juicy.
I felt that it was a lighter version of KFC, not so salty and strong on the MSG.
The quality is as good as UK's PFC, where the coating is light and crunchy.
Each drumstick was equal in size and shape, not like some of the deformed drumsticks at KFC.
The coleslaw was also like a bland version of KFC's but not sweet.
Finally the mash and gravy which I ordered this dish primarily for was so delicious, it was very buttery but not to the sickly extent.
There were lumps of potato in it, which gave it some potato taste, and the gravy was nice and strong.
Pit beef sandwich:
This was nicely presented with thinly sliced roast beef and cheese sauce on top.
The beef was freshly roasted beef.
Lastly ordered a "plain green waffle" which the waitress repeated, but when it came it was the plain one, so I said "shouldnt the waffle be green" and so she took it away and came back with a green one a while later.
Since the table opposite also asked for a green waffle, she asked them again to confirm if it was green one they wanted to ensure they got the right one too.
Finally it came, the texture was just right, crunchy on the outside and soft inside, however I was slightly disappointed as I couldnt smell or taste any pandan.
Overall the service is ok, however I think they could offer a glass of water when people sit down, considering its the scorching summer and most of Central is uphill.
They provided water when asked, and there was a slight lemon taste in it, so I reckon they had a jug of water with lemons in it, probably for customers, so why don't they offer it before people ask.

[Review 806] Best Brunch Buffet @ The Lounge (香港JW萬豪酒店) (JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong )

Although it was expensive, everything was perfect, apart from the foie gras which was too oily.
Out of the three admiralty pillars, conrad, shanghri La and JW Marriott, I would say this one is the best, although I have yet to try Shanghri La. Also they speak a good level of English here.
There was a nice selection of seafood and caviar, and all the people there were in orderly fashion, and well mannered.
Apart from being satisfied by their food range, I was also impressed with the drinks selection. There is unlimited fruit juice as well as a tea or coffee that is included.
The grapefruit juice was the best, pastel pink in colour and sweetened just right without taking away the natural fruit taste.
The apple juice was a nice pale green colour too.
Most impressively was the teas, there is a wall with many big glass jars that contain all the different teas, ranging from Russian tea to Floral teas.
Anyway I ordered earl grey, and they served it correctly with unfrothed milk.
While I was away getting food, I came back with a nice surprise, there was scrambled eggs with truffle at my table which was still lovely and warm.
It was the best scrambled egg I have ever had, even better than AusDairyMilkCo, it was so creamy, full bodied, and wholesome too with truffle taste reaching out to the tastebuds. Best of all, the scrambled egg was done with skill that it was very moist, almost like scrambled egg in creamy sauce.

Walked past here so many times, the exterior is grey and looks dark inside, so I always thought it was closed.
I assumed it was one of those classy places that serve western sets, however it turned out to be vegetarian.
The staff could speak a bit of English which was OK.
I came on the wrong day, because the sets on other days are much better.
Ordered two sets, one was Red curry and the other was lasagne.
The red curry had that lemon grass herb in it, and there was a small portion of pearl rice to go with it.
The Lasagne tasted like canned spinach, and the lasagne sheet wasnt proper, it was like thick tough filo pastry.
Overall, the starter was the best, beetroot and tofu.
The tables were cramped apart from the window area, and the people were very noisy making it hard to place an order.
The drinks section was Ok, I got the Piccadilly tea, which is basically just breakfast tea.
As for the pricing, is it pricier than the average pub food @$88 per set with another 10% on top.

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/quality-noodles-e2097860
Came here randomly, and the food turned out to be great.
Allergic to that sort of chili, so picked the shredded chicken with noodles and an ordinary beef one.
For drinks, saw two interesting ones, so got the cucumber Soya milk and the Jasmine tea with bean jelly.
Beef noodles:
Very spicy even though the least spicy was ordered.
Shredded chicken noodles:
The broth was good, no MSG thirstiness after drinking it.
The shredded chicken was tender and pure white meat, no veins or bruises on it and the spring onion and cucumber was chopped finely too.
For the drinks, the cucumber soya milk was a nice soother to the spicy foods, however if it were less sweet it would have tasted more natural.
As for the Jasmine tea, it was also too sweet, that woman said it wasn’t that sweet, she lied!!
But overall that woman was really nice and smiling all the time.
It was nice drinking the Jasmine tea with jelly, the other one was jelly dessert with osmanthus,, but I don’t really like flowers.
As for the other desserts it was interesting, they had pudding with chilli’s and herbs.

Again, another year has come, shake shake fries are back, this time the TV commercial is done by some younger actors, Originally it was Kelly, then later replaced by Joey.
This year the flavours are seaweed, chili, and honey mustard.
Seaweed has been an all time popular and regular flavour that is here to stay.
Yummy salty fries and seaweed bits.

Felt like having some american pancakes, so tried the maxims version.
There are two flavours either filled with red bean or peanut butter.
Frankly it is cartoon food!
The pancakes were not soft, also the peanut butter was hard and dry inside.
I was surprised the butter didnt go runny in this heat.
