To be honest I didn't know this French brand dates back to the 17th Century with many branches in Japan.
They sell macarons and cakes so decided to try a macaron and cake.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Macarons:
The pistachio had a crisp shell and a soft centre with pistachio and almond flavouring.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
rocher $58:
This was a new cake and it had a lovely caramel tone to it with fiery ginger notes.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Next time I am going to try their chocolates!

This is my first negative comment for this place because it is normally good and I have been here more than once, but on this visit the sauce was just sweet and made it taste horrible so I think they may have mistaken the sugar for salt.
Hope they get it right next time.

[Review 4252] ebi burger with pineapple @ 麥當勞 McDonald's

Whenever the ebi burger (prawn burger) is launched, it becomes a popular choice.
Now they have launched the ebi burger with pineapple, which basically has a slice of pineapple in the middle with the same mayonnaise sauce that they use for the chicken sandwich.

The pineapple in the burger was a bit too juicy and stole the show with its sweet flavours.
It was also difficult eating the burger because when you bite into it, you are biting against the pineapple fibres so you have to tear the pineapple.

[Review 4251] Steamed fish at The Food Gallery @ The Food Gallery

Lobsters and oysters are now a standard item in Hong Kong buffets because it is the basic requirement that locals crave for.


+++++++++++++++++++++
For me, I have to have cheese, Indian curries and Western dishes.
Cheese!!

Curries!

Terrines and other dishes that I like!!





The variety was surprisingly good and they even had Balman bugs which were a highlight at this other buffet I tried.

The star of the show had to be the steamed fish!
There is always a huge steamed fish at most buffets but here they have a selection of fishes for you to pick which is steamed to order, so it means you have a whole fish to yourself .


My favourite fish is the seabass because the fish is delicate but the species here are quite different to the seabass in Europe.

It was great that they had mini portions of Hainan chicken with rice and Stir fried crabs too.


Desserts counter:

Stiletto heel cupcakes



Heres what I had:
A creative and appetizing soup which had tomatoes, wild rice and lamb.


My delicious steamed seabass which I had all to myself.
The fish was fresh and silky.

Next I had cheese and seafood.

For my carb cravings I had authentic Indian rice with okra curry.

To finish off I had the almond and apple pudding which was not too sweet with cakey taste and texture

Chili jam from the condiments shop.

$548 + 10% per person on weekdays $598 + 10% per person weekends Includes coffee or tea. +$75 for unlimited soft drinks and juices

Udon in tomato and fish broth:

The broth was similar to the soy bean soup above but the udon was too soft.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

The pomelo peel was soft and mushy flavoured by the prawn roe and gravy.

[Review 4249] Second visit at 川味皇 @ 川味皇

This time I requested for the non spicy broth and it was quite nice because the broth just tastes sour.
I also paid extra for the stewed beef but it wasn't that good because it was the odds and ends that were fat and stringy.
Without the spiciness, it lacks that flare so next time I will have the spicy basic noodle.

Unfortunately had to go to Sai Kung so went here for a quick bite.
I regretted not going to Mandy's or having fish and chips or the burger place nearby.

Turkish toasted Ham and cheese sandwich:
The ham was a bit dry and they used processed cheese which is it not proper cheese.
