I was surprised to see that they had Orange flavoured mochi at Wing Wah Bakery because the style at Wing Wah is quite traditional.
There were two flavours orange or red bean.

Orange mochi:
The mochi was covered in coconut and there was orange filling encased with a layer of white bean paste.
The taste reminded me of the snowy mooncakes that they sell during Mid Autumn festival because of the white bean paste.
I would have preferred it if the orange flavour was more refreshing because the orange peel taste was more prominent.

During non public holidays I would not consider this stall at all because it is always surrounded by people but as it was a public holiday that day, there was not many people getting snacks from there.

There were two snack stalls on that road, this one and the eggette stall which also serves beef offal.
The beef offal looked a bit bland so I chose this place.

Initially I just ordered the beancurd skin puffs but then the fishballs looked nice so I got an extra skewer of them which were placed on top of the beancurd skin puffs.

There are three curry sauces: non spicy, mild and hot.

While I was eating the first cup I looked at the name of this place and realised they were famous for fishballs which was lucky because I tried them as well.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beancurd skin puffs + fisballs with non spicy curry sauce:

The fishballs were quite small and they did not have grounded fish bones in it which was good.
They were firm and quite al-dente but the fish taste was not that strong.
The beancurd skin puffs were a bit too oily and the curry sauce ruined everything because it just tasted sweet just like curry syrup.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fishballs with mild curry sauce:

The fish balls were nice so I got another skewer this time trying the spicier sauce.
Again it was sweet with a spicy tone to it.

When I saw these Japanese Cheese balls I should have trusted my instinct not to get them because Maxim's SAVOURY items are always sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Japanese cheese balls:
The size of these cheese balls were bigger than the ones sold at other bakeries, but the taste is more important than size.
Anyway, I did not like them because the cheese taste was not strong and it was sweet.

[Review 2357] Crispy seaweed salmon rolls @ 爭鮮外帶壽司 Sushi Take-Out

Went to Sushi Take Out to get some sushi for later and saw these interesting long rolls.
Usually they are sliced into smaller rolls but there were three long ones inside the box.

The Hang Hau branch is quite small but there is a mini sushi factory behind the window.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Crispy seaweed salmon rolls:
When I took them out I assumed they were already wrapped, but the seaweed sheet was separated from the rice.
You have to remove the film and roll it yourself.

The design is so that the seaweed is crispy when you eat it.
They reminded me of the hand rolls at the local convenience stores where you remove the plastic and wrap the seaweed on the rice.

Anyway the salmon rolls tasted really nice especially since the seaweed was crispy, after adding soy sauce and wasabi it tasted even better.

The Walnut rice milk was so delicious I went back for it again.
I ordered the cold one because you can also have it hot.
This time it was served in a paper cup.
The lid was nice and interesting.
When you open the stopper, there is foil on the hole which is quite hygienic.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Walnut rice milk with pine nuts:
The walnut drink was really nice and creamy.
It was quite thick too with finely grounded pieces of rice, walnut and pinenuts.
I really recommend ordering this drink.

Thank you Mjqueen7e for getting me these palmiers.
The box is beautifully designed with a butterfly that is also part of the box.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Rachel's Palmiers:

The palmiers were really delicious, they were flakey and buttery.
It was slightly sugared on the edges but not too sweet.
The palmiers had many layers which made it really delicate and flakey.

[Review 2354] Cheesy toast and Cheesy options! @ 一口烘焙 Bake&Bite

I rarely go to the North end of Prince Edwards, so this time I gathered 3-4 places I wanted to try around that area:
Lan Yuen Chee Koon, Roadside, Bake & Bite and Ueno Bakery & Enzyme.

I planned this eating spree because of this place and Roadside for Western food.
There are not many choices for good Western food in the Mong Kok area.

I was attracted to this place because of the cheesy toast and pies.

This joint is located on the busy main road with lots of air pollution and smokers and the bad thing about this joint is that there is seating  so you need to find a place in MK to eat it!
There is a sitting area round the corner but it is also a pissing corner for people to piss.

Interesting sandwich (NOT)
It has Cheese, JAM and ham! (sounds American)

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Toastie with swiss cheese and liver sausage:

Basically you choose a bread, choose a cheese and choose a filling.
You can add extra cheese for $3 I think.
I was quite annoyed because I tried to add extra cheese but they only let you add the same cheese you chose which is not flexible.
For the choice of cheese there was cheddar, Swiss and Monterrey jack.
The liver sausage was interesting which was why I tried it but ideally ham would be a better match with cheese.

The toastie was actually quite delicious and the liver sausage had herbs in it.
I just wish for improvements they could let you choose a different cheese when you order the double cheese because all they do is put the cheese slices in the sandwich and toast it.
So what difference does it make having two different slices of cheese or two slices of the same cheese because all they do is toast it.
Its not going to mess up their toaster!!!!!!!!!!!Time for me make my own with a Breville toaster!!!!!!

Lemon Tea:
Too sweet and syrupy!
