Saw these mini chocolate tarts at Pie and Tarts specialists so decided to try them.
They should have labelled the cost for a single tart as well!
They had the usual selection of pies as well.

Mini chocolate tart:

Got the mini chocolate tart which did not look like a chocolate tart at all.
The top of the tart looked more like heavy thick cream.
Indeed it was heavy thick cream,
I did not like it because it just tasted of chocolate flavoured artificial cream with their signature buttery tart base.

I arrived too late so the rice rolls were sold out.
They only had the fried dough sticks left so I got that instead.

Fried dough sticks hkd10:

These rice rolls were delicious, they were crispy and chewy inside with the lovely smell of the spices they use.
It was not as oily as I expected.

Got four of these coconut sago puddings.

This takeaway counter is located right next to the entrance to the corridoor of the toilet!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
coconut sago puddings:

They were quite expensive at 4 for $20 and the customer service was bad because it was take it or leave it.
The pudding was too sweet and the sago at the bottom was hard.

I found this bakery quite interesting because it was a Chinese bakery yet they had some western stuff like carrot cake so I got that.

On my way out I saw the banana pie at the front but I was too lazy to go back and get it so I will get that next time.

In the end I just got the carrot cake and chocolate and walnut cake.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Carrot cake:


The carrot cake was quite moist and evidently there was a lot of shredded pieces of carrot in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chocolate and walnut cake:


It was a tart filled with chocolate and walnuts, the filling was similar to a chocolate brownie.
The taste was extremely rich.

Ordered the Fung shing dumplings with macaroni but they gave me Instant noodles by accident.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Instant noodles:
Luckily the broth and noodles were separated in different bowls but you have to pay extra for the bowl.
The noodles were hard to start off with and after the broth was put in, it went soft really quickly and it was tasteless.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fung Shing dumplings:
The dumplings were massive, they were about the size of half a boiled egg.
It had the usual bamboo shoots, black fungas and prawns inside.
The dumpling skin had a slight akaline taste to it.
There were three dumplings in total.

Walked past and the croissants were freshly out of the oven so I decided to get one.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Croissant HKD2.5:


The croissant was still lovely and warm, you could smell the buttery smell lingering.
It was nice and flakey yet soft in the middle.
The taste was just right, not too sweet or not too salty.
