I was at Pacific coffee and this cake caught my eye because I don't often see chocolate cakes paired with apricot.
However you do get dried apricot chocolate bars.

Chocolate apricot mousse cake:
 0 讚好

There are not much apricots in the cake because on the other side of the cake there are no apricots (forgot to take a picture) .
Anyway, the mousse tasted clumpy but luckily the juicy apricots saved the day because the chocolate mousse was dry and tasteless and the white mousse on top just tasted like clumpy cream.

[Review 4126] Time for chili con carne!! @ Tallore

I have been meaning to try the chili con carne but everytime there is a new soup or new salad I have to try~~
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
chili con carne:

The reason I love this Chili con carne so much is that it is made with lean beef which does not have these fatty bits and stringy chewy bits.
As well as the beef, the chili con carne sauce was delicious, it is not that spicy but the flavour is there and goes with the fluffy warm rice beneath it.
The portion is a bit big though coming from someone with a big appetite like me.

Chose the scrambled egg with luncheon meat but unfortunately the egg was tasteless and it tasted weird like plastic.

This was my third visit and I was compelled to come here because of the Scotch sando which is a sandwich with a molten scotch egg in the middle.

Scotch sando:

The fried items never fail here and they are always fried perfectly.
As you can see the yolk is runny with a vibrant orange colour.

It was easy to eat too because the scotch egg was neatly rested on the sandwich bun so it wasn't flimsy to handle.
Anyway eat bite was amazing because you ended up with egg white, egg yolk, the bun and the scotch egg.
The scotch egg tasted slightly different but it was divine because you could taste pepper and onions which made it moreish which was then enhanced by the scrummy egg yolk.

Saw these captivating photos of the black curry ramen so decided to have it.

There are two ramens that are not to be confused.
Black ramen and black curry ramen.
The black ramen broth is made with black garlic paired with thick noodles and the black curry ramen broth is made with squid ink and curry powder paired with ramen of medium thickness.

black curry ramen:
They will give you a disposable paper apron to protect your clothes when you eat.
The curry broth tasted really familiar and then I realized it tasted the same as Nissins curry cupnoodles with a spicier tone.
黑咖喱拉麵個湯底同合味道咖哩杯麵一樣味

I also ordered the mini bowl of rice with potato which tasted amazing when I poured the remaining broth on to it because it tasted like rice with squid ink with a hint of curry.

Lucky Mandarin:
 0 讚好

Got this one because I have previously tried the rose garden.
It was A light and fruity yogurt ice cream made with mandarin puree and yuzu pieces, decorated with an edible leaf and twig, just like a real mandarin!
I really liked this because the I could also taste citrus peel which gave it another dimension like you were eating a real mandarin.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Volcanic dessert:
My friend ordered this because of the gimmick that it would erupt, basically they put crushed dry ice in the cavity and pour hot honey sauce which will then erupt when it gets in contact with the dry ice.

It was a rich and velvety with a strong chocolate truffle taste.

I was a bit bored with Jasmine and Earl Grey tea so this time chose oolong tea for a change.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
oolong tea:

When I took the lid off, I could see that the teabag was filled with shriveled tea leaves, sadly they didn't unfold so the flavour was bland.
