It was a hot day so sat outside to relax drinking a cold chocolate with a misty view of the harbour.
The chocolate was strong with a rich cocao taste that was not powdery.

Since my last visit, there are new cakes in the cabinet.
Came with friends so that we could share the cakes.

Here were the ones we had:

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
My favourites were the Earl Grey opera and Custard Tart.
The Earl Grey could do with a stronger Earl grey flavouring but the Custard Tart was fine because it had a sweet creamy taste that was light supported by the buttery shortcrust tart base.

[Review 4229] Localized curry @ 蘇亞印度餐廳 Sohal Indian Restaurant

Went to this place for a curry because the rest of the restaurants nearby were Chinese food.
I had the aloo gobi lunch set.
When the rice came, the last thing I was not expecting was Chinese Jasmine rice!
For Indian rice, I had to pay an extra $25 for Saffron rice which is silly because an Indian place should be serving Basmati rice as a basic and not Chinese rice.
The Saffron rice was much nicer and it was flavoured.
The aloo gobi was ok but the spices were weak and probably localized to adapt local tastesbuds.

[Review 4228] Eating radiators @ Linguini Fini

Went here again for pasta.
After my previous experience I rejected the bottle of water because you get charged for it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Radiatore alla Vodka:
Named Radiatore because the pasta resembles a radiator!
It was Radiatore pasta in a spicy nduja laced cream which I found a bit too salty and spicy but it was worth trying because not many places in HK have nduja.
The other place that has it is Jacomax where they have pizzas topped with nduja sauce.

[Review 4227] $168 breakfast @ 東海堂 Arome Bakery Room

Was bored one morning so decided to get a $168 cake for breakfast!~
I suppose it was good having this for breakfast because all the sugars and cream should have been burnt off during the day.
Anyway, I loved the layers of chocolate cake and fluffy cream complimented by the sweet and thick starchy sweet potato paste on top.
It was decorated with real pieces of sweet potato but they were a bit dry and hard.
The crunchy cornflake pieces in the middle spoilt it because it is weird having crispy things in a cream cake but this is a Hong Kong thing.

Just some random desserts I had at Arome bakery

Sweet purple potato cup:
 0 讚好

This was a delicious desserts but at some branches, some of them are dehydrated because the mochi was hard and dry and the mousse has gone a darker colour where it has been dehydrated.

The jelly bits in the dessert were nice though.

[Review 4225] Chocolate roll from Saint Honore Cake Shop @ 聖安娜餅屋 Saint Honore Cake Shop

The chocolate roll looked good so got it.
The roll was soft and firm with a strong cocao taste.
Inside the roll, there was thick sweet artificial cream and pieces of jelly.
Not bad, but I would have liked fresh cream instead of that weird cream.
