I love the new mooncake revolution that breaks the traditional, first they launched snowy mooncakes then the custard filled ones, now they have chocolate mooncakes as well as icecream mooncakes.
The Lucullus mooncake series range from traditional to just chocolates.
I got the Classic Treasure chocolate mooncake gift box which has 14 pieces of chocolate in it with a big chocolate in the middle that represents the mooncake.
The chocolates are great for sharing.

Contents in the box:

[Clockwise from the top left: Dark four brother, Milk pistachio coffee, red autmn leaf corn truffle, milk hazelnut crunch, Lychee truffle mini mooncake, Lotus flower truffle, Milk truffle, star hazelnut praline, dark truffle, Milk almond Lucullus, Green tea truffle, sesame truffle mini mooncake ]
The chocolate mooncake:
Ginger x Milk chocolate : Cranpucchino
The chocolates were enjoyable, especially the green tea truffle, Milk pistachio coffee and the dark truffle.

Other items in this range:

Traditional mooncakes and chocolate:

Found out from social media about this place so decided to check it out because it is located on the top floor of Star Plaza.
The setting is different from your typical bowling alleys because it is dimly lit with music pumping and wide TV screen above the pins.

I didn't bowl that night because I went for the food.

Sat by the bar and had the platter of lamb kebabs and chicken reshmi tikka with tomato chili jam.
Interestingly, it came with fried pita bread!

The lamb was really tasty with lots of aromatic spices while the chicken was tender and juicy even though it was white meat.
I couldn't quite see the tomato chili jam so perhaps it was marinated into the meat.

To bowl there, it costs $410 per person including two drinks and bowling shoes are available.

Not related to the above but the security guard of this building is a bit weird!

[Review 4606] Dessert pastas @ 意蠔屋 Pasta And Oyster House

This place is called Pasta oyster house, which obviously specializes in oyster and pasta.
A few years ago tried the North point branch, which was great.
This time went to the Sai Wan Ho branch because there was no one in the restaurant.

For lunch, the choices are pathetic because during lunch, no one is willing to pay more and restaurants have to cook simple stuff because people only have an hour for lunch and so that they can serve more people as well.
Tried the pasta and curry, which were both disastrous.
The curry was cloyingly sweet and the tomato sauce was also sweet.

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.

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

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.
