I have been wanting to try this place for a long time but it wasn't opened yet.
It was finally open so I went in to try it.
I was not in the best of state to eat the food because I had this annoying flu but when the chicken arrived it looked and smelt like the chicken at Nandos.
The chicken was springy and delicious, but it was quite spicy, the chicken beneath the skin was also marinated well that you could taste the herbs.

Maxim’s have launched a series of cakes for Valentines day and The Rose is perfect as a romantic cake!
When you slice it, you can smell the fragrant rose.
It is layered with raspberry jam, sponge cake, cheesecake surrounded in rose flavoured mousse.
The cake was light and dreamy with sweet pieces of strawberries in the middle paired with heavenly rose flavoured mousse!!!

It just so happens that Boomshack and Burger Circus have both opened around the same time.
I was attracted here because of the decor and tacos which had a touch of fusion to it!

Near the till, there is a fridge with American sodas.
At the far end is the kitchen designed like a food truck.

The chicken waffle was basically a waffle with a piece of fried chicken, bacon and sauce on top.
There are two choices of sauce: sausage gravy or three cheese and ranch.
I made the mistake of ordering the gravy because American gravy is creamy and totally different to British gravy.
Other than that, the chicken and bacon was crispy and delicious and the waffle was not too sweet.

As well as meat, I also love vegetarian options like this one because it has guacamole and okra.
It was a moist taco because okra has some natrual occuring slime which you either hate or love!!
I really enjoyed the crunch and the taste of guacamole paired with a block of soft tofu in the middle.

I am lamb:
Saddle lamb, harissa, pickled cucumber fennal yoghurt, flour tortilla.

The lamb was tasty and the spicy sauce that came with it had a slow kick so the yoghurt flavours came out first with the juicy pieces of lamb and then it gradually became spicier.

This is the best breakfast taco I have had because the potato pieces are fluffy and the cheese is properly cheesy with a lean piece of crispy bacon that gives the whole taco a complete breakfast touch!

Beet fries:
Served with Kewpie mayo togarashi
0 讚好
The beet fries are coated in some cornstarch flour which can be seen in the picture.
It gave them a lovely crispy coating while the beetroot is kept juicy and moist.
They were definately addictive!!
But be warned cooked beets will make your urine and faeces change colour so don't be shocked!
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
I will probably be back to try the chicken waffles again and hopefully they have other meat options instead of just beef for the burgers.

[Review 4060] Radish pudding with Betty's XO sauce @ 奇華餅家 Kee Wah Bakery

This is the third radish pudding I have had this year!
It was spicier than I anticipated.
When I removed the packaging I found a huge chili on top which I thought was garnishing!
After steaming the turnip cake, it was ready to eat.
The texture was quite firm with chunky strips of radish but I found it too spicy so people who like spicy flavours will like this!!

Not just pretty cookies
2015-01-31 613 瀏覽
Phoenix Sweets begun their first shop at PMQ which drew lots of attention because of the girly pastel mint green decor and lovely cookies.
Now they have a store at Fashion Walk which is convenient for people in the city.
I had two cupcakes at Phoenix sweets, one was yuzu and the other one was cookies and cream.
The yuzu one was quite good because the cream had a strong citrus flavour and the cupcake base was soft and buttery.
As for the cookies and cream I found it a bit too sweet.

[Review 4058] Tea for love high in the clouds @ 龍蝦吧餐廳 Lobster Bar and Grill

龍蝦吧餐廳 Lobster Bar and Grill
金鐘金鐘道88號太古廣場二座港島香格里拉酒店6樓
6/F, Island Shangri-La Hong Kong, Two Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Admiralty
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/tea-for-love-high-in-the-cliouds-e2422022
February is all about love and romance.
At Shangri-La, they will be serving "Tea for Love" during the whole of February at the Island Gourmet and Lobby Lounge.
During the weekends you can experience this at the Lobster bar and grill where there is a spectacular view of Hong Kong.
It is served with Perrier Jouet which has a dry and savoury note that goes well with the items in the tea set.
Started off with raisin and plain scones served with preserves and clotted cream.
Each bite was divine because the scone was crumbly and soft with lashings of clotted cream and a tad of jam to give it some sweetness.
Here was the tea set.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
On the top tier, there was Perrier-Jouët mousse, Signature lychee milk chocolate sticks, Red berry fruit tart with Perrier-Jouët rose petal and
Lemon cake with red puff
0 讚好
To my surprise, they were not that sweet.
My favourite had the be the chewy lychee chocolate stick and mousse which was light and fruity.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
On the second tier, there was Manjari chocolate with frosted strawberries, Raspberry macarons, Cherry and Perrier-Jouët cheesecake, Swiss rolls.
0 讚好
The Swiss rolls were wonderfully soft with delicious strawberry whipped cream in the middle and the chocolate dipped strawberries were a treat with the champagne.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The bottom tier were my favourite savouries!!
-Foie gras terrine, love apple and Perrier-Jouët jelly, chervil
-Jamón ibérico, green asparagus, quail egg, pink pepper
-Alaskan crab meat, rye bread, Thai basil
-Gravlax marinated with Perrier-Jouët, dill Sriracha mayonnaise
-Poached Boston lobster, vanilla infusion, pearls

The foie gras terrine was nutty and velvety while the lobster was springy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
As well as the Tea of Love, they have also created the AMOUR which is a refreshing light lemon sponge cake with Champagne infused cream.

Discovered this place on the way to RedMR, it is located near K11.
There are two sessions and the earlier session is better because there are less people.
As I wasn't very hungry that day I only had the congee and a few pieces of sushi and sashimi.
The flame grilled salmon was really tasty and the congee was nice and light to suit my appetite.
