Went to Dragon centre because I wanted to get some Metallic flash tattoos so stopped by to get some icecream.
They said you could try the drinks but there was too many people in the shop so I just got two icecreams and chose the Jasmine drink.

To be honest, I didn't look at the price and I hadn't a clue how much it would be but the two icecreams and a drink came to $15 which is shockingly cheap!
Anyway, both icecreams were not cold enough and the texture and taste was basically the same as whipped cream and they were too sweet.

Jasmine, momordica and brown sugar drink:

I could taste the momordica but frankly it was too sweet to be healthy!
Nice bottle and design though.

[Review 4604] Chinese lasagne @ M18

Went here randomly and had the lasagne set for $6X.
It came with lobster soup and a drink.
The lobster soup was ok but a bit sweet. there was supposed to be a slice of baguette which didn't arrive until the lasagne arrived.
As for the lasagne, the tomato sauce was tangy and nice but the cheap beef and the tasteless stringy cheese on top ruined it .

Maxims have launched these cute Tsum Tsum dessert cup series which cost $32 each.
There was Mickey, Little green man and Buzz light year and the flavours are strawberry mousse, tiramisu and chocolate mousse respectively.

Now they have launched the other three:Winnie the pooh, Tigger and Stitch.
The flavours are serradura, milk pudding and mango.

My favourites were the serradura and milk pudding because they were creamy and light.

[Review 4602] Just for the Halibut @ Beef & Liberty

Indeed, there is something fishy at Beef & Liberty Hong Kong.
Just For The Halibut, the new fish burger with green peas and horseradish mayo, a bit of red cabbage, kale, pickled fennel and ginger; and a hint of citrus.
It was a lovely burger because the fish was chunky and flaky paired with strong condiments.

Tried Stacks because everyone was trying it.\
Chose the fruit tart icecream with two different cookies, the cinnamon snickerdoodle and the raspberry cheesecake.
The icecream was quite hard which made it easy holding it like a sandwich.
As for the taste it was quite sweet but the cookie flavours were not distinctive enough.

I love this joint because of the silky tofu, pandan desserts and drinks.
Went here again as I was in the area and got the tofu pudding and a drink.
Just as I was about to order the drink, they told me there were some new drinks which are teas mixed with their homemade pandan syrup.

There were two that I had to try: Earl grey pandan and the Oolong pandan.
They don't have Iron buddha pandan tea yet but I think it should taste nice.

Earl grey pandaniac:
 0 讚好

The combination of earl grey and pandan was surprisingly fragrant but it is hard to describe.
Very aromatic and you can't stop drinking it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Oolong pandaniac:
 0 讚好

The oolong taste was not strong and all you could taste was the pandan so it is hard to comment whether it was nice.
I want to try this drink again and hopefully the oolong flavour is stronger next time.

[Review 4599] Seafood Mondays @ GREEN

Went here with the gang to try the semi-buffet special offered on Mondays which features all you can eat seafood buffet with a choice of main courses and a dessert from the cabinet for $478.
The seafood selection was good, there were lobsters, yabbies, botan shrimps, sashimi and soup.
All of the seafood were fresh and sweet.

They bring over a bread selection for you to choose.

On the table, there was a delicious pot of pepper pate which tastes great with the bread.

After the seafood, we chose our mains.
I went for the beef tenderloin and the beef was tender and juicy with a lovely mash beneath.


For desserts, it was hard choosing a cake from the cabinet because there were so many good options.

Luckily, there were four of us so we chose different cakes to try.

The strawberry and olive was really nice with soft sponge cake in the middle.

The Jasmine and chocolate had a good balance between chocolate and Jasmine.

The green tea had a rich green tea taste without being too sweet.

We didn't choose durian, but there is a durian cheesecake!
