Sunny bakery used to be the only bakery on Lockhart Road, now there is another one.
I don't usually buy from Delifrance because the bakery is localised but decided to get some croissants to spread some Pate on it.
Anyway the croissant was $9 and because Delifrance is celebrating its opening, there was a free Croissant with every purchase.
Croissant on the right was the free one.
Anyway I ate the free croissant first.
The free one was crispier and I knew it was the free one because the one I was picked was soft.
I was a bit shocked because it was savoury and it was sweet as well.
After I finished it, I ate the soft one that I bought, it was also savoury with some sweetness as well but not as sweet as the complimentary one.
Luckily it was buy one get one free because it worked out cheaper per croissant.
I doubt I would get their croissants again because they are localized and taste sweet.
This delifrance branch has a limited range on the ground floor and the full range is served upstairs.

[Review 1550] Peach Agar pudding at Swatow Street @ 麗姐私房曲奇 Lily's Pastry - Homemade Cookies

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/peach-agar-pudding-swatow-street-e2232715
I was surprised to see a cookie shop on this street and it was new one so went in.
This shop has other branches in Causeway Bay and Happy Valley.
The owner is from Singapore and sells Asian style cookies such as meat floss rolls and egg floss rolls.
They also had cakes but I was disappointed they didn’t have the famous Singaporean Pandan cake or Pandan flavoured items.
I was not hungry that time so I just got a Pearl barley drink and an Agar Pudding. The Agar pudding had three flavours: Pineapple, peach and egg.
I tried the peach because it was different.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Pearl Barley drink
The drink was light and refreshing and not too sweet.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Peach Agar Pudding
Quite sweet and the agar had peach flavouring.
There was also real pieces of peach in the agar pudding too.
The peaches were canned peaches.

Tried the set which has the XL garlic butter fried chicken leg and curry.
It also came with the standard drinks and the new portugese tart with red beans which I don't like.
In addition ordered the baked Salmon rice as well because I havent tried it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Rice and curry sauce
This was delicious and it was not served with Japanese rice which made it even more delicious.
The curry sauce was not spicy but tasted like the Japanese style ones.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
XL Garlic Butter chicken leg
The size of the chicken leg was slightly bigger than the average chicken legs.
The coating was a bit too burnt but tasted strong of butter and garlic just like the coating for Vietnamese garlic butter chicken wings.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Baked salmon rice
There were only two pieces of Salmon in this baked rice and I would prefer more smaller pieces mixed in with the rice.
The rice beneath it was fried rice which was soft and mushy.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Portuguese tart with red beans
I didn't try this because I don't like red beans.

[Review 1548] Your restaurant choice for desserts as well @ 金源小館 Your Restaurant

灣仔大王東街3號大旺樓地舖
G/F, Tai Wong Building, 3 Tai Wong Street East, Wan Chai
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/your-restaurant-choice-for-desserts-as-well-e2232637
Usually I come here for Chinese food but I suddenly remembered they do desserts as well so went in to try some.
I was only intending to try two but in the end I tried four and there are two more I want to try as well.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This was the first time sitting on the outer table so I had a different view of the restaurant.
I saw these nice chandeliers and French style windows which was really interesting for a Chinese restaurant, but it really matched what I was trying today.
As there are no pictures of the chandeliers I am posting a few here.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I was rather surprised for such a Hong Kong style restaurant that they had western desserts and they even had home made ice-cream!!!!
The qualities of these desserts were really good! It was quite diverse that they cook local dishes and make western desserts.
While I was there, there was quite a few people buying desserts too.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Caramel egg pudding
The rest of the desserts are served in plastic tubs and this one was taken out of the holder and put in a bowl.
The egg pudding was smooth and the caramel sauce was nice too with the usual bitterness.
The sauce was quite runny.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tiramisu
I thought this was going to be heavy and creamy but it really surprised me because it was light and the sponge was soaked in some liquor which balanced out the creaminess of the mousse.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Blueberry cheesecake
Again, this one tasted better than I thought, it was extremely light and the blueberries had been soaked and had some fizz to it when you ate it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Whisky ice-cream
I was quite full for ice-cream but the portion looked tiny so tried that as well.
The texture is similar to frozen cream and not ice-cream so the temperature of the dessert is not freezing cold like real ice-cream.
The whisky was strong but I found this dessert too heavy because it just tasted like heavy cream.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The price of these desserts were reasonable too at $19 per dessert.
To try on my next visit: chocolate mousse, durian mousse.
Although I saw a non domestic furry friend in the kitchen it was better than seeing a six legged thing. So I will be back for the other desserts!

Not a fan of udon because it is always tasteless and soft.
I tried this place because of the prawn broth and the udon with cod fish roe.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Warm udon with cod fish roe
The temperature of the udon was quite warm but not too hot that the roe changed colour and texture.
The udon here is chewier than the type at Ajisens.
Before mixing the roe in the centre it was already partially mixed with cod roe and the taste of the udon was quite nice.
However I made the mistake of not try the cod roe and mixing it directly into the udon and it ended up really salty.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Udon with pork in prawn broth
The broth for this was really good. If you have tried sun-dried prawns it tastes like that with a very concentrated prawn taste but not too salty.
The udon tasted nice in prawn soup it but since I am not a fan of udon I wasn’t wowed by it.
The pork however tasted better because it was fresh and sliced extremely thin, there was not much fat on it and it was tender.
The broth had a nice golden colour.

[Review 1545] Creamy dreamy icecreams, milkshakes and froyo @ Ms Penguin

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/creamy-dreamy-icecreams-milkshakes-and-froyo-e2232367
This dessert/milkshake place has been opened for a long time, but no one has listed it on Openrice until now thanks to IvyCWK.
I have tried to add it on the OpenRice database so many times but it never got through because there was no telephone number for this place but its a food court so there was no telephone number.
Hopefully this place is still open now! (six months later since I last went).
It reminded me of Dairy Queen because of the Penguin and the arctic vibes it gave me.
Basically this place offers milkshakes or dessert which is a choice of ice-cream, green tea ice-cream or yoghurt.
I was hoping to try a sample of their yoghurt but they said they could not give out samples.
Anyway I ordered the milkshake and I had a feeling I was going to like it anyway. The milkshake is blended with a choice ice cream, green tea ice cream or yoghurt, hence that was why I wanted to try their yoghurt.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The milkshake was blended with whipping cream as shown on the photo, but since it tasted so good it is definitely worth the calories for that creaminess and the cream topping if it is available!
0 讚好
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I was very attracted by their ice-cream based milkshakes and the ingredients you can choose to blend with it because they had stuff like Kit Kats, Snickers, Twixs’, and even Cadbury’s Flake (A rarity in HK)!!
In the end I chose the ice-cream to be blended with TWIX and next time I will try it with peanut butter.
For the toppings, it was really cool, they had Kellogg’s crispies, but I chose Cadbury’s flake, it was sold out so I chose cream and that was sold out too, so I just went without.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Apart from personalised choices, you can also choose the set flavours which are cool as well, which leads my curiosity on whether is a local joint or a western joint because each drink is characterised such as Rowdy penguin, xcitement penguin, gym penguin, surprise penguin, Ms penguin signature and more.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
For the choice of chocolates there are: Twix, Crunch, Kit Kat, Mars Bar, Toberolone, M&M’s, and more.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Froyo with strawberries and maltesers
Froyo
The froyo was really nice, it had a natrual yoghurt taste and the fruit was actually blended in with it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ice-cream
As for the ice-cream, I really liked that as well, I am not a fan of soft serve, but this one was similar to Turkish ice-cream which has an elastic texture.
The temperature of all their items were not freezing cold.
Again it was really creamy and had a strong vanilla taste.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Milkshake
The milkshake was contained in a cup that was from the Juicy Bear, so I did not post that picture because it might confuse people.
The taste of it was amazing, it was extremely creamy and milky like Hokkaido milk. The sweetness was just right even though it was blended with TWIX.
I believe there was milk added to it because it was not thick at all, and the temperature was not ice-cold like ice-cream, but cold enough.
The twix tasted really nice blended in, because it tasted like dipping biscuits in milk.
