Every day there is always a new soup and salad which makes it really difficult to choose!

Unfortunately I missed the VEGETARIAN GREEK AVGOLEMONO soup made with leeks, carrots, fresh parsley, mint, oregano, eggs and lemon.

Mixed salad:

I ended up having a salad mixture of BABY BOK CHOY which was a mix of jicama and onion topped with sesame seeds.
The jicama (Mexican turnip) had a delicious light crunch and the other salads that I choose were refreshing and healthy especially the Quinoa.

I liked the Green light zone dishes at Fairwood but they didn't have the egg and tomato choice that day so I decided to try the sweetcorn sauce one which was not that good.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Vegetables and sweetcorn sauce:

The sweetcorn sauce was too oily and there was too much oily emulsion mixed into it. The rest of the vegetables were dripping with oil as well.

[Review 4089] 2015 Turnip cake from Canton Room @ 粵軒 Canton Room

At the Canton room, they have three types of puddings for CNY.
Scallop Chinese radish pudding:
Traditional CNY pudding:
Golden water chestnut pudding:

Anyway, I tried the scallop Chinese radish pudding.

This Chinese radish cake was loaded! There were so much huge dried shrimps and chunks of preserved sausages in it.
I loved this Chinese radish cake because the radish was chunky and crisp but not raw with sweetness.

[Review 4088] A quick treat - Jam Donut and tea @ Marks & Spencer Food Store

I was still hungry after dinner so went here for some tea and a raspberry jam doughnut.
The raspberry doughnut was soft and chewy coated in delicious sugar and filled with fruity raspberry jam which was finished off with a lovely Earl grey tea.
For regular customers, there is a loyalty card to get stamps but I wasn't given one until now even though I have been there quite a few times!

The curry beef cheek here is good but inconsistent because sometimes the beef would be soft and gelatinous and sometimes the beef would be dry.

Lemon chicken:

This time went for the lemon chicken which didn't look like lemon chicken. It looked more like grilled chicken and the lemon sauce tasted really artificial.

As usual the ladies at this joint are snappy and agitated.
Anyway I had a weird craving for soup so I got the mocks sharks fin soup which was quite thick and viscous, however it was a tad too salty.
It contained chicken shreds but it was dry and old with a texture like boiled white meat.
