I have always been curious what the pizza chicken was like so I ordered it and they had a new egg tart so I tried that as well.

Napoli crispy pizza chicken:

Basically it was just a piece of fried chicken topped with melted mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce.
The taste was ok but it didn't remind me of pizza and the mozzarella cheese was tasteless so it was just flavoured by the tomato sauce.

Yellow peach egg tart:
The egg tart looked ok but the bottom half was really oily. Great for your health, NOT!

The egg tart tasted quite nice with a smooth apricot filling which tasted like jam.

If it hadn't been so greasy then it would have been perfect.

I love dining in Central but some restaurants can be pretty crowded.
Luckily not many people know that Bungalow serves food because it is located on Wyndham Street where people assume that it is bars and clubs.

The place was great but the air con was too cold.

Trout Ceviche $148

The trout was a good starter that was refreshing.
++++++++++
Barley salad $138

Beneath the spinach leaves were barley pearls which had a nice chew.
After mixing the Taiyouran egg, the salad was really tasty.
++++++++++
Truffled mashed potatoes $88
 0 讚好

The mash was extremely silky with a strong truffle flavouring that had a milky taste because of the creamy ingredients.
++++++++++
Capellini $178

The capellini looked a bit different because they were rectangular strands and not rod shaped and the texture was slightly different from pasta but it was nice in a tangy tomato sauce, ricotta and cashew pesto.
++++++++++
smoked duck breast $228
 0 讚好

The slices of duck were presented like a pretty rose and the duck was tender with a fragrant smokey taste paired with tender asparagus.
++++++++++
SableFish $238

This was flakey fish with a strong lemon vebena taste so you will either like it or hate it.
++++++++++
Chicken roulade $248

This was my favourite because I love spatzle which were crispy and chewy in delicious gravy and the chicken rolls were juicy.
++++++++++
Melon salad:

To finish off, had the melon salad which was light and healthy.
++++++++++
Banana and caramel Crepes:

The crepes were also good because the crepes were thin filled with delicious banana and fluffy cream.

Had this breakfast last year hence this review is quite old~
The best things in this breakfast were the scrambled eggs and muffin.
After adding salt and pepper, the scrambled eggs tasted better and the muffin and jam were good without the butter.

[Review 4474] Pomme verte series @ Das Gute

The photos I took doesn't show but when you see the cakes they look too good to eat.
There is a large one and a tart version that has a white layer of meringue on top.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Pomme verte tart:
The tart was a bit deformed when I got home!
I was a bit disappointed because it was too sweet and there was lemongrass flavouring which I don't like.
It was not even tart in taste because pomme verte means Granny Smith apples in French which are crisp tart apples.
However it was nice there were chunks of apple in it.

HLS have launched these cute buckets of fruit slushes in four flavours:
Pineapple, longnan berry, strawberry and cucumber.

Previously tried the cucumber which was too sweet so went for the Pineapple because Mjqueen7e said the coconut noodles were good.
The promotional leaflets at this store were better and they had a pop up menu.

You can get these $10 coupons for the slush buckets so they only cost around $23 but I didn't know about them and didn't see them giving it out.
After tearing the coupons away you can make this flick flack game [there are other names for this eg cootie catcher] to decide which flavour.

Pineapple slush:


At this branch, they give you a square plate instead of the rectangular plate.
The pineapple slush was refreshing because it was blended with fresh chunks of pineapple but it was slightly too sweet.
Beneath the slush were coconut noodles which was delicious with the slush and the sweetness eating these two together were just right.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Cucumber slush:

Tried the cucumber slush again and the slush was too sweet and the sweetness was consistent with the first time I tried it.

HLS have launched these cute buckets of fruit slushes in four flavours:
Pineapple, longnan berry, strawberry and cucumber.

I went for the cucumber because cucumber is supposedly refreshing.
It appears that they have ran out of the buckets because too many people have ordered it so I was given a disposable cup.
It was garnished with fresh melon.
The cucumber slush was way too sweet and the sago and marshmallow didn't make it taste better.
Beneath the slush was delicious aloe jelly which saved the dessert!!
