Sweet and sour pork:

The pork was not lean so every bite as soft and squidgy. The sweet and sour sauce was quite good on the other hand.

Spaghetti bolognaise:

The spaghetti bolognaise was really good compared to Maxim's fake bolognaise which tasted of sweet garlic.
There was generous bolognaise sauce made with finely grounded beef that tasted spicy.

Chocolate rain is a well known brand adored by everyone.

I have always wanted to try this place when they started this Eat and Play experience at PMQ because you get to literally eat and play but it was hard trying to persuade someone to come with me.

For Easter, the eat and play includes a six course meal with egg painting.



The six course meal is prepared by a chef who used to work for a Michelin Three star restaurant.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tomato Tomato:

steamed lettuce, corn custard, cucumber, tea air.
The corn custard was a sweetcorn consomme jelly which melted in your mouth with sweet umami flavours.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
mini savory surprise:

This was a delight with light foamy whipped cheese and a crisp cheese cracker.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
My dumpling:
chives, scallop, bonito broth, sesame, snow fungus

A nourishing soup with a gelatinous piece of snow fungas
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
spring is coming:
avocado salsa, parmesan, market salad, eggplant and more

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
shrimps land:

This was a bowl of pretty pastel colours containing springy prawns, potatoes and prawn crackers tossed in a buttery sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sweet sweet me:

This was a light and dreamy molecular creme brulee with a fragrant caramel taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
mini sweet surprise:

Finished with this pretty dessert that was garnished with refreshing lime dust and airy whipped cream followed by tea.

Playtime~

You are given a lovely cook book to take home and here is the DIY that I did.

[Review 4211] Fried chicken with Chimichurri sauce @ Iberico & Co.

Initially came here for the brunch but the options available were not really exciting so I went for the a la carte items.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Crispy chicken legs with Chimichurri sauce:

I love chimichurri sauce which was why I chose this.
When it came, there was a generous amount of chimichurri sauce so I was happy.
The chicken was a bit too crispy and hard because it was overdone otherwise it would have been delicious and I wished the chimichurri sauce had more lime juice in it.

Seaweed omelette
2015-03-29  3297 瀏覽
There were quite a few things I wanted to eat including the crab roe where you have to grill it but in the end I got the omelette and tuna rolls because I couldn't be bothered to watch it grill.
The menu was really annoying because it was in Japanese style Chinese and Japanese.

The prices were really cheap but then this restaurant is in Kowloon.

Anyway, here was what I had.

Seaweed omelette:
I was shocked how fast it came because it came a fews seconds after I had ordered, so it probably implies that this is already made and sitting in a warmer but the omelette was piping hot.
 0 讚好

The taste was ok but you couldn't really taste the seaweed even though you could see it and the texture was not that fluffy.
Anyway, found egg shell in it which was white, therefore they use white eggs!

Tuna rolls:

The tuna roll looked good with the generous strips of tuna given to you as well on the ends but the tuna lacked tuna taste.

Earl grey pancakes:

Not fluffy enough and the earl grey flavouring was a bit too artificial but the blueberries in the pancakes were nice and gave a burst of blueberry juice when you bit into them.

Pineapple and banana smoothie:
 1 讚好

It was very bland and watery lacking pineapple taste and it was quite sweet as well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Breakfast tea:
I wanted to order the Earl Grey but it had lavender so I chose the breakfast tea!
 1 讚好

When it came it was black as coffee and they put way too much tea leaves in the teabag that it was sufficient to make a huge pot of tea.

Anyway, it was extremely bitter so had it diluted many times to make it drinkable and I was told that it is normally served in a pot so why did they use a cup!

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Overall, I felt that it was a bit overpriced because the quality did not match the pricetag.
