https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/yuzu-brown-sugar-cake-e2400042
Walked past and was drawn to this cake because it had a small macaron on top.
It was a nice combination of Yuzu and brown sugar so I decided to get it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Yuzu brown sugar cake:
Tried the Macaron first which was quite hard with Yuzu jelly jam in the middle.
Then I tried the cake which tasted like a strong lemon mousse that was refreshing but at the same time quite sweet.
The brown part was brown sugar jelly which tasted delicious with the citrus tones of the cake.

[Review 3765] Iconic, delicious and affordable hot dogs @ ICONIC H 特色熱狗店 Special Hotdog Shop

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/iconic-delicious-and-affordable-hot-dogs-e2399938
I love hotdogs but not many places do good hotdogs.
ICONIC H is impressive because they have a great variety of dogs and sauces!!
It was hard deciding which dog to get because there were too many choices.
The dogs are split into two categories 25 or 28, so the 25 costs $25 and the 28 costs $28.
I liked the $28 dogs because for that price it was impressive they had Sundried tomato (chicken), curry frankfurter, chicken and mushroom frank, apple chicken and lamb merguez.
In the end I chose the curry frankfurter and lamb merguez because not many places have it.
For an extra $3, there were some really cool sauces to choose such as truffle mayo, blue cheese and curry ketchup!!!
I chose curry ketchup with the curry frank and blue cheese with the lamb.
So $31 for a specialized dog with gourmet sauces is a real steal!
For snacks, I already had my eyes on the macaroni with cheese and potato smiles.
Here was what we had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Iconic Salad:
Refreshing salad with crisp lettuce, molten egg and crab, perfect for the summer.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Lamb merguez and blue cheese sauce:
The lamb sausage was tasty with delicious strong blue cheese which complemented each other nicely.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken wings:
These were crispy with a caramelized honey coating and the chicken wings were tasty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Curry frank with curry ketchup:
As well as the lamb, this was also delicious because the curry frank and the curry ketchup was really nice with a sweet tone followed a curry kick.
The sauce reminds me of UK's McDonalds curry sauce which is also sweet.
I definitely recommend this because not many places have this sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Potato stars:
The locals are definitely going to like these because they are lovely and crispy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Veal frank with cheese:
Cheese lovers are going to love this because of the thick gooey cheese on top.
Next time I am going to pair it with a chicken frank so that it won't be so heavy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
ginger tea:
To finish off I had the ginger tea which was sweetened appropriately and it had a lovely fiery ginger taste which helped digestion and perfect for me because I don't drink carbonated drinks.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
hot chocolate :
My friend tried the hot chocolate which had a rich cocao taste that was not too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Next time there is a concert, I will be back to try the other sausages, hopefully they can offer a sausage platter with a choice of sauces just like they do in Germany.

The food at Ootoya used to be good but not anymore.
There used to be branches at Causeway Bay and TST which have closed down.
As I was in the area I dined at Ootoya.

The rice was cold and the tofu had a weird bitter taste to it.

Soy sauce was needed to balance out the weird bitter taste of the tofu.

Spoon:
The spoon wasn't very clean because it had some dried water stains on it.

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/my-favourite-toasted-cheese-sandwich-e2399374
On my previous visit, the toasted cheese was not that good because they put a mixture of two cheeses.
Anyway, the latest review had mushrooms in it and the cheese was decent so I went back for the cheese toast and added mushrooms as well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
toasted cheese and mushroom:
This was sensational because the cheese was soft and gooey with tasty slices of mushrooms in it.
The toast was slightly burnt but the cheese was just amazing that it was forgivable.
Hopefully, the cheese will be consistent on my next visit.

[Review 3762] Great Vietnamese rolls @ Bolaven Café

There used to be a branch of Bolaven in Wan Chai but sadly it closed before I got a chance to try it.
I don't often have Vietnamese food because Vietnamese food in general does not appeal to me.
The rice paper roll appealed to me because it had apples and pickles in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Apples and pickles rice paper roll:
Although this is not authentic Vietnamese rolls, I really enjoyed it because they used apple instead of traditional ingredients.
Without the sauce, it is sweet because of the apples with some tangy tones from the pickles.
When the savoury sauce was added, the taste was amazing because it made the rolls sweet and savoury. It had a lovely crunch from the pickles, apples and lettuce which was held together by the lettuce and chewy rice wrap.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Definitely returning for the other rice rolls!!!

[Review 3761] Green tea and chestnut loaf @ 星巴克咖啡 Starbucks Coffee

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/green-tea-and-chestnut-loaf-e2399321
Saw photos of this new green tea loaf so decided to get it.
When I got to the WTC, the Starbucks on the ground floor has closed and there was a new one on the fourth floor with seats surrounding the escalators.
Luckily, there was still one piece left.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Green tea and chestnut loaf:
To be honest, I could not taste or see any chestnuts.
However, there were lots of fragrant roasted walnuts and the green tea loaf had a nice cakey taste with green tea flavouring that was not grassy.
The edges were a little bit dry but after adding some cream from the mocha, the green tea loaf tasted amazing.

This is the second branch of Cafe Inside, the first branch is located on Water Street in Sai Ying Pun.
It was like a greenhouse inside and there was an open area which is currently wasted.
This place used to be a dry cleaners called Redi something.
Anyway, I stopped by for desserts.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Milk pudding:
The milk pudding was quite nice and it was presented in a beautiful dessert cup.
It was topped with red beans which I did not expect.
Overall the milk pudding was smooth and creamy but slightly too sweet.
