I do not come here often because the customer service is not that good and the food is expensive as well!

Honey pork shanks with curry sauce and pasta:

The spaghetti was too soft and tasteless so it relied on the curry sauce, however there was not much curry sauce and the curry sauce was too spicy.
The pork shanks this time was nice and soft and came off the bone easily, however it was too sweet and there was a lot of oil on top.
There were pieces of mushroom which i did not get on my last visit.

[Review 2057] Colourful Sweet GAGA macarons @ Sweet GAGA

I have always wanted to get their macarons but I was not around the area, but now they have three stores which makes them more accessible.
Apart from macarons they also do bite sized cakes.

In the end I chose the earl grey and baileys which were HKD17 for 2
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Earl Grey:
I couldnt figure out why this was yellow!
Anyway, the earl grey taste was light.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Baileys:
This one tasted better than the earl grey and it was slightly chewy in the middle.
The bailey taste was light as well but the sweetness was not that sweet.

Assorted cakes:

I was attracted to this cake because of the layers, it reminded me of the baumkuchen cakes.
I did not know the name of this cake because it was in the assorted cake section.
The taste was quite nice, there was buttery salted creamy in the middle unfortunately.
The top of the cake was pretty and tasted like iced sugary butter.
On top there was a marshmallow.

[Review 2055] Chicken drumsticks! ducks feet! @ 優之良品 Aji Ichiban

Shop HOK47, Hong Kong MTR Station, Central
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/chicken-drumsticks-ducks-feet-aji-ichiban-e2271756

To be honest I do not usually buy from Aji Ichiban because a lot of the confectionary is from China and it is mostly preserved snacks.
I would rather eat a bag of crisps or proper chocolate!

However when I found out they had marinated snacks I decided to get some, they had kidneys and gizzards but I chose the ducks feet, chicken drumettes and roast goose.
For those three items it costs $36 so I might as well go to a real grill joint where they only cost around $1x per skewer!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Isoyaki roast goose:

The goosemeat was very hard and chewy.
It was very spicy as well but did not have that sweet teriyaki taste I was expecting because I associated Isoyaki with the Japanese teriyaki taste.
I just felt that the taste was similar to those vacuum sealed spicy snacks from China!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Isoyaki chicken drumette:


The flavouring of this tasted the same as the above, however the chicken drumette faired slightly better because the texture was more natural.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Isoyaki duck feet:


This was the worst out of the three, again the taste was the same, but the texture of the goose feet was like HARD JELLY plastic!

Not many places have starfruit juices today unless you look for them.
It just so happens I saw the starfruits in their cabinets so decided to get some starfruit juice.

As this was a Taiwanese beverage shop, I asked for the starfruit juice not to be sweetened incase it was and the girl at the counter said it is just juice so it shouldn’t be sweetened.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Starfruit juice:


When I got the juice, it was really sweet and obviously it had been sweetened.
Water was also added because you can taste it was watered down.

[Review 2053] Dai kee puddings available @ 果汁仔仔

I thought they just did juices only but they had puddings as well.
The puddings are from Dai Kee and the packaging was slightly different to the ones you get at Dai Kee.
They were just wrapped with a piece of plastic and the sides were exposed.
The edges of the puddings were hard and dry because it got dehydrated.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Black Sesame:
The black sesame taste was faint and it was not too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Split peas and coconut pudding:
The sweetness of this was just right with pieces of split peas and the coconut was not too strong.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
pumpkin and milk pudding:
The pumpkin pudding was quite nice as the pumpkin flavour and coconut flavour were strong.

My last visit to this place was a few years ago because their attitude was really pushy and rude.
Decided to come here again and the service was still the same.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Coffee:
All sandwiches come with a drink but she does not tell you nor does she ask you what drink do you want.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beef sandwich HKD21:

The beef was thinly sliced, slightly seasoned like pastrami and the sandwice tasted ok.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Ham sandwich:

The sandwich was buttered heavily so there was a strong taste of butter. I was surprised there was slightly more ham in this than usual.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The service is really crap as they expect you to pay with the exact amount, when you don't they frown.
