Walked past and saw these interesting new ice candies which I have never seen before.
They were frozen in slim bags which were food grade I hope!
Anyway, got the avocado flavour which was quite nice but you need scissors to cut the top off or otherwise I don't know how you're meant to eat it.

I was really surprised it was not too sweet because most Philipino foods are too sweet and the icecandy was such a cooler because it turned into silky slush.
The taste was milky with a hint of avocado.
There were other flavours too but frozen avocado is rare!

** according to openricer Loklaw, the owner said it is made with mashed avocado, condensed milk and sugar **

I was invited to this K-Food party at Festival Walk's School food which was so much fun.
I got to try the beetroot and crab mari which is exclusive to the Kowloon Tong branch.

It was so delicious filled with lots of crab and the sushi rice had a lovely beetroot flavour.
The anchovy mari was too spicy though!
While I was I got my hair done by iPRIVATEi salon which looked great and the curls lasted for days!
I also had fun taking great photos at their photo booth!

This is a great place to watch FIFA because they have it LIVE!!!
Anyway tried various of snacks:
Nachos
Scotch egg
Chips.

My favourites were the scotch eggs because it had a lovely molten egg yolk encased in delicious pork patty with crispy breadcrumbs on the outside.

There were many craft beers, and the London Pride I tried was quite bitter.

Received a $50 cash coupon from openrice which either lets you redeem a slice of cake or use it as $50 cash on chocolates.
The cakes were not that attractive so I got chocolates instead.

dried fruit dipped in chocolate:
Got the new dried fruits dipped in chocolate which had mango, apricot and orange peel.
The dried fruits were nice and chewy complimented by the chocolate.
Apricots were definitely my favourite and I was glad there were two pieces of apricot in the bag.

I got these because they were cute and miniature!
In the box, each chocolate represents a country with different flavours:
Peanut rice crispy, almond praline, lemon, earl grey, sea salt, Jasmine, strawberry, macadamia nuts, apple, mango, pistachio, hazelnut, tiramisu, coffee, wasabi, orange.

The prettiest ones were probably the apple and orange!
My favourites were the earl grey, jasmine and pistachio and because of the size you can try more flavours in one go without eating too many.

[Review 3432] Tofu steak @ BRICK LANE

Wanted the Potato rosti but it was sold out so ended up ordering the tofu steaks.

Tofu steaks:
This is not really British so I am just commenting on the taste which was actually ok.
The spinach was nicely chopped up mixed with sweet corn pieces and the tofu was coated in a delicious crispy coating.

[Review 3431] Agreeably fake British fare @ BRICK LANE

I heard of Bricklane ages ago when they opened a branch at TST but from the photos of the food were not really British which was why I never visited.
Then one of the reviews at the Admiralty branch caught my attention because it was titled
"overated fake British" and it really intrigued me to try how fake it was.

Going there was a bloody long trek because it was located at the CITIC Centre.
The cakes were just patisserie style and nothing like a real British cake.
Maybe they should go down to Shortbreadteas and take a look!

After I sat down, I had to wait 7 minutes for the menu.
Another 7 minutes to order, but food came fast though.

Combo breakfast:
Only tried it because it had Yorkshire pudding, black pudding and sausage with the breakfast.
The black pudding was rather different to the usual ones I have had and it had lots of nasty fatty bits in it, while the Yorkshire pudding was too soft and they don't taste like that and the sausage was just weird.
Lastly the benedict sauce was a bit strange.
