The packaging was really nice so decided to get it.
I liked the silver patterns against the silver.
As for the souffle cheese cake, it was the Japanese type, it was similar to dense mousse hence the souffle in the name.

The sweetness was just right and the cheese flavouring was not that strong.

The dinner sets here are quite good, this time I got the fish both which has lots of seafood in it.
The broth had fish strong taste and it was lovely and milky.
It had octopus, Chinese radish, tofu, dried shrimps, scallops and mussels.
The amount of broth was really generous, and I liked the broth the most and the tofu.

Although this place is meant to serve Hakga cuisine, the dishes on the menu were the usual Cantonese items.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Stir fried celery, ostrich and cuttlefish:

This was extremely oily and extremely salty.
The cuttlefish was a bit bland and chewy.
The ostrich meat were big slices but chewy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fried rice wrapped in lotus leaf:

I was expecting this to taste bland but it was really salty, however it was not oily which was good.

Came here again because the locals love this place.

I had no expectations because the food here is always greasy and salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Roasted goose:

This was just skin and bones.
The goose meat was quite nice because there was not much meat which meant that it absorbed all the marinade and was tasty.
Even though there is not much meat on them, they are a good seller though.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Morning glory with dried prawns:
This was very salty and oily and the cracked pot was funny!



★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Glass noodles:
I thought this was going to taste nice but it was rancid.

[Review 1826] Lab Made + HK ⇨ L❤ve HK N-icecream flavours

I do not like Cantonese food because it is a lot of weird fusion but decided to try the Hong Kong crispy toast because it was ice-cream.
After trying that, when the flavours changed, they had mooncake so I tried that as well!

I rarely eat Chinese mooncakes because I do not like savoury and sweet tastes mixed together.

I get addicted to the ice-creams at Lab Made because of the flavours and the sweetness is never too sweet!

They put real ingredients into the ice-cream rather than fake flavouring!

After my experience with the apple crumble with REAL pieces of Apple and REAL pieces of Crumble I had no hesitation ordering their crispy toast because it would have real pieces of toast in it.
The week they started doing mooncake as well so I decided to group the Hong Kong flavours on this review.
The purple rice should be in this review too but I tried that when they opened so it was on my first review.

It would be fun if they made savoury ice-cream too! I would definately try it if it purely savoury!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mooncake $44:

The appearance of this was really similar to the apple crumble because there was crumbs on top.
I really liked this and I chose this over an ice-cream mooncake too because the ice-cream mooncakes are just ice-cream inside a chocolate shaped mooncake!
This one had REAL lotus seeds in it, the lotus seeds were slightly bitter but kept its starchy texture in the ice-cream.
The sweetness was perfect and it was not too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
HK Crispy toast $38:

This was ice-cream, toast, peanut butter and condensed milk!
I loved the crispy toast bits together with the ice-cream and the combination of that tasted really nice.
When I ate it, the crispy bits of toast remained crispy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
It was really good Lab Made has made me like something that I do not like usually.
I think it is mostly to do with the temperature, texture and the fact it was mixed into ice-cream!
Who doesnt like icecream???

[Review 1825] The biggest swiss rolls and the famous egg tarts @ 豪華餅店 Hoover Cake Shop

This place is famous for egg tarts but every time I came past there was a queue.

But this time I came late at night and there was no queue and surprisingly the egg tarts were quite hot too.

As well as egg tarts they had a few items that were pandan flavoured which are my favourite.

The swiss rolls were HUGE! I have never seen swiss rolls as big as this, the diameter was at least 7inches by 5inches tall!

It is a pity you cant see how huge these swiss rolls are but in one of the reviews the slice is too big that you need to split it in half!!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Egg tarts $5:

The egg tart was still hot when I ate it.
The pastry was quite thick but there was lots of flakey layers and air in between so it was quite light.
Luckily the buttery taste was light, and the egg filling tasted like custard which was good but I just didnt like it too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pandan cake $12:

Although the egg tart was too sweet, the sweetness of this was just right, and the pandan flavouring was nice and strong.
The cake was extremely soft too.
The size of the cake was quite big too, about 4 inches in diameter.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
I was quite surprised that the prices here were quite expensive especially in Kowloon City.

Saw the gouda cheese buns and I couldnt decide which one to get so I got both.
I liked the idea of having gouda cheese inside the bun because gouda cheese has a quite a strong taste.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Gouda cheese bun: $8

As with all Maxim's bakery the filling is in the middle and you have to eat your way almost half into the bun before you get to the filling, but once you get to the filling, its delicious, the cheese is strong and gooey.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Smoked ham & gouda cheese bun $9:

Similar to the above, there is an extra slice of ham on top with grilled cheese.
The ham is more like a sausage slice.
I found this one saltier and the ham was not real ham but similar to luncheon meat.
