Limited Edition: Earl Grey chocolate chip icecream
2015-07-23  1302 瀏覽
A few months ago saw the Earl Grey chocolate chip icecream on Godiva’s menu but the price was covered because it wasn’t available yet and Godiva HK didn’t know when it would be launched because I contacted their HQ in April 2015.

Happened to see this flavour available when I walked past in July so I bought one.

The Earl Grey chocolate chip flavour was the best compared to the other tub flavours that I have tried in the Godiva range because it was not that sweet.

There was a natural Earl Grey flavour and the chocolate icecream was not that overwhelming with delicious pieces of heart shaped chocolate chips found in all Godiva’s tub icecreams.

Just felt like eating some veggies so went to Snack Express.

It was late that evening so the ladies there were better tempered as there were no customers.

There was lots of lettuce but the fish broth was rather bland hence the lettuce was tasteless.

I was surprised to see dumplings on the menu other than beef so tried them a la carte which costs $14.

There is a choice of miso soup or plain soup.

Japanese dumplings in miso soup:
The dumplings looked the same as the product shot but the dumpling skin was too thick and it had a strong chive taste.

While I was waiting, I saw these weird 3D cardboard DIY thing.
Perhaps they were binoculars??

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.

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.

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.
