Went here to take some stylish pictures, after we finished we had free flow bubbly jubbly champagne for $250 at the Champagne bar on the 5th floor.

Slow cooked egg:
 0 讚好

This was slow cooked egg on Iberico sobrasada and chicken consomme.
A strong chicken soup which went nicely with the delicate poached egg and Iberico sobrasada which tasted like my favourite snack pepperami.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tuna tataki:

This was lightly seared tuna over sliced potatoes and piquillo peppers sauce.
The tuna was tasty with a nice umami aftertaste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Marinera mussels:
 0 讚好

These were fresh and soft mussels in a lovely parsley and wine sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Asparagus and sheeps cheese:
 0 讚好

The asparagus had a crisp sweet crunch which went nicely with the cheese.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pimentos de padron:
 0 讚好

These were traditional green peppers from the North of Spain sauteed and finished with flakes of sea salt.
Basically they tasted like mini green peppers with a soft texture.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Anchovies and piquilllos:
 0 讚好

Cantabric smoked anchovies with a piquillo blanket and shaved Spanish almonds which were a delight because the anchovies were tasty complemented by the crunchy almonds.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Hokkaido scallop:
 0 讚好

This was Hokkaido scallop on top of sea urchin sauce on a bed of wakame seaweed.
The sea urchin sauce was rich and creamy.

The cute toastes were filled with ham and pieces of potato.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Banana wraps:

The presentation reminded me of DIY pancakes with duck.
It was fun to eat putting fruits and adding sauces to it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
SG Tea punch:

fresh mango juice, passionfruit, ice tea and syrup.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
momoko:

A nice smoothie with a strong pineapple taste that was not too sweet or sour.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Monn sour:

This was a refreshing combination of lime and lemon juice mixed with lemonade and a drop of grenadine syrup.

[Review 4406] Sold out but not sold out! @ Cafe&Meal MUJI

On my last visit, I forgot to check out Café Muji so this time came here for dessert because they looked good.
Anyway, ordered the pudding and they said it was sold out.
It was weird because there were two in the cabinet when I went out and they were still there.
It was a weekday evening and surprisingly packed and the tables were really close together so it was annoying being forced to listen to other peoples’ conversations.

Not everyone had a basket to put their bags because I was not given one and the table behind me didn't get one.

Ordered a drink and the pudding after he checked that it wasn’t sold out.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Cucumber mojito:
It was a refreshing drink with a strong fizz, there were lots of diced cucumber in it that got stuck in the straw.

Overall, it was nice and tasted natrual because of the diced cucumber and fresh mint leaves.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Pudding:
Waited ages and it didn’t arrive so decided to pay the bill and leave.

[Review 4405] Crepes for desserts @ Odelice!

Time flies since French May and now it is the middle of June already.
It was only a few weeks ago that I had their yummy platter and duck crepe and now I am craving for crepes again so it's probably the aftermath of French May!
Went here for dessert and ordered two simple sweet crepes.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Crepe with maple cream:
 2 讚好

The crepe was thin and light topped with a big dollop of cream.
It was nice because it wasn’t too sweet and the cream and crepe went together nicely.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Crepe with salted butter caramel:
 2 讚好

 3 讚好

There was quite a bit of caramel drizzled on top but luckily it was not too sweet and it had a bitter taste.
It tasted even better when I added some cream to it from the other crepe.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Hope to try the croissants next time.

Went here again for the chicken mole and paella because I was craving for rice.

For both dishes, the rice was a bit hard.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken mole:
The chicken was a bit dry and chewy and the sauce was sweeter this time.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mexican seafood paella:
The rice was flavourful but not as flavourful as my first visit because it lacked prawn taste in it.
After adding lime to it, the rice tasted so much better.

As well as rice, I was craving for potatoes so went here and got a tub for $28.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Roasted potatoes:
The potatoes were nicely cut, each one was bite sized and uniform.
As for the taste, they were a bit too salty and not soft enough

[Review 4402] Healthy craving @ Tallore

Tallore

Shop D, 7-17 Amoy Street, Wan Chai
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/healthy-craving-e2461869

Went back to Tallore again for dinner because I had a big hunger craving.
This time I had the chili con carne with rice, hummous with some baguette slices.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
chili con carne:
The chili con carne at this place is not spicy but they have spices for you to add.
It was rich with lots of lean minced beef and diced carrots.
When you eat it, you can tell the beef is good because it doesn’t give you chewing troubles because low grade beef has these chewy fatty elastic bits!!
Normally they give you mixed grain rice but I asked for the salad rice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
hummous with baguette slices:
Compared to other hummous the colour is slightly green and the lemon taste isn’t strong but it was wonderful with bread.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
OR TEA:
As a tea lover, I am tempted to try these teas because the design is nice and at the back the plastic is clear so you can see inside.

[Review 4401] Truly natural purple sweet potato @ Small Potato Ice Creamery

G/F, 28-30 Haven Street, Causeway Bay
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/truly-natural-purple-sweet-potato-e2461409

On the first visit, I made the mistake of ordering the mixed softserve because you can't really taste the sweet potato softserve properly.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Purple sweet potato with purple potato paste:
This time I just got sweet potato softserve with some extra sweet potato mash.
It was much nicer and the whole thing was not sweet which was great, the mash made it even more delicious because it was like having real sweet potatoes with icecream.
