Thanks to Mungkk for these buttery and crumbly cookies that had lots of chewy blueberries in it.

The sweetness was just right.
Apart from blueberry, there are other flavours too.

I was still a little bit hungry so decided to try the skewers here.
There was chicken, beef or lamb.

Chicken was the best because it was juicy, tasty with lots of cumin but the lamb was too fat and chewy for my liking.

Went here for a quick fix and had the curry because there was nothing interesting on the menu.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Dry curry with pork:
The rice got burnt and it was too crispy because of the hot bowl and the curry had minced pork in it which wasn't fresh.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
appetiser:
I didn't like the starter because I don't like thick glass noodles and the sauce was too sharp.

[Review 3990] Flying carpet and the half slice of cheese @ 麥當勞 McDonald's

My usual complaint with Hong Kong's McDonald's is that they only serve half a slice of cheese in the filet o fish, but according to wiki McDonald's Canada, New Zealand and The Czech Republic serve half a slice as well!

The filet o fish I had was messed up and it was not even hot because the cheese wouldn't melt and it looked like a flying carpet because it was just about to fly out stopped by the burger box!!

After having some super spicy food, I needed something to soothe my burning throat so I got the mint chocolate icecream.

It was a single scoop for $9.

The icecream was mildly sweet with delicious pieces of dark chocolate in it and overall the icecream was not too sweet or minty.

[Review 3988] Maria's molten egg tart @ 超羣麵包西餅 Maria's Bakery

Went past one day and saw these molten ginger egg tarts so decided to try a molten one and an original one.

Both egg tarts had a thick crust which was not really needed and the egg filling had a strong custard taste that was nice but if you are looking for an eggy taste then this is not the one.

The one with the molten filling was disappointing because it had a ginger dumpling inside and the filling was thick puree and not at all runny at all!!

Decided to have a gathering at Kennedy Town because the MTR stops there now.
Ordered the signature dishes:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Parma Ham and rock melon:
 2 讚好

A nice plate of parma ham with juicy melon chunks.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken wings:
 3 讚好

The coating was light and tasted like cajun spices while the chicken wings were soft and juicy that the soft bones near the joints came off easily too.
The piping hot wings tasted delicious with the cooling lemon mayonnaise.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fried portobello with chicken strips, bacon, brown sauce and rocket:

This was my favourite because the coating absorbed the tasty brown sauce which tasted like Marmite.'
In the middle there was a big juicy portobello mushroom.
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pancetta pizza:
 5 讚好

Bacon lovers will love this but personally I found the bacon too fat.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Aglio olio:
 3 讚好

Each strand was covered in olive oil and herbs which made it delicious.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Vongole:
 3 讚好

The pasta had a strong wine taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
chicken cacciatore: was the daily special that day.

The chicken was soft and came off the bone but it lacked taste.
