Thanks to All Gain International for this Christmas jar of cookies.

Inside there are six cookies.
As usual, these cookies were soft and chewy, the chocolate one was my favourite because I love the chocolate chips.

It's Christmas again!! I was so happy to receive a box of GODIVA assorted truffles from All Gain Limited.
There is milk and dark chocolate wrapped in red and green.
Both were smooth and rich but I liked the dark chocolate one the most.

Again the food in this area is weird.
The food is charged at Central prices but the food standards are like mongkok.

Ordered the the chicken in sand ginger sauce (galangal).
It just didn't look like your normal sand ginger chicken.
The chicken was bony, and the chicken thigh had a texture was like woody chicken breast.

[Review 3933] Tasteless and oily @ 京城 Beijing City

The food here is expensive but unfortunately the food doesn't match up to it.

Tried the lamb and leek which was mega disappointing because the leeks were old and stringy and the lamb was tasteless.
I was expecting some bold spices and herbs but it was just leeks and onions.

The rice beneath is was too soft and oily.

This is the weirdest spring onion oil I have seen.
It was plain chicken topped with FRESHLY cut green spring onions.
The rice beneath it was mushy like congee and the sauce that was really looking forward to was tasteless.

I am not a fan of their croissants because they taste too buttery but I went to the popup stall at Hysan place to get a gift for my friend.

With any purchase, you get a chance to design something if you are lucky.

Luckily, I got the 2D gift ornament which allows you to design something to be printed with the purchase of a gingerbread man.

(FORGOT TO TAKE PIC) but it was the gingerbread man that has bones on it looking like the character from the film SCREAM.
If I had been advised that the thin pen strokes wouldn't print out so well, I would have made them thicker.

Anyway, here it is being printed out, the white line of dots are the lasers in action.

Tried this restaurant because it was a new branch of the No.5 Italian at Tai Hang.

The environment was modern and comfortable with a nice sea view.


Started off with bread which was held in a flour bag.

Then we had juicy grilled portobello mushrooms with cheese and sweet balsamic vinegar.

It was followed by a creative plate of caramel apple salad.
The apples were sweet with a fragrant buttery taste.

After that we had toast with Iberian ham and white truffle.
The saltiness of the Iberian ham went well with the white truffle.

Next was my favourite because the pizza had ham and fig which was scrumptious, the amount of ham on the pizza was generous.

For the main course we had linguine in creamy white truffle sauce which I felt was too creamy.
 4 讚好

Then we had Silician red prawn risotto which was my favourite because it was flavourful with chunks of prawn and asparagus in the risotto.

Last but not least the beef cheek with parpadelle was marvellous because the beef cheek was extremely soft and gelatinous and the parpadelle hung that delicious sauce on it.
