Normally I get Mrs Fields cookies but this time went past Lucullus and discovered they had soft cookies so got the chocolate banana one.
It was put into a paper bag.
The cookie had a rich chocolate taste that was not too sweet with a hint of banana and it crumbled too easily that I couldn't take a bite without it falling into pieces.

[Review 4636] Lunch boxes that weighs a TONNE! @ 良記美食

I am currently trying the eateries at Tai O Building so tried this place.
Basically you just choose two items with rice so I chose the fried fish and the egg and tomato.
The egg and tomato at the next stall looks better but I will try that later.
Anyway, the egg and tomato here was a bit sweet and the fried fish was surprisingly good because it remained crispy after travelling.

Most lunch boxes weigh the same but the lunch boxes here are so heavy and dense that it is amazing how much rice they compacted in the box!!!

The menu was quite pretty and I liked the way they put effort into sticking crystals to make it sparkly!

I really wanted to try this place when it opened but there were too many people so I decided to check it out later when it was quieter.
Went early during the middle of the week and there were only a few people.

The choice was ok but not exciting because they didn't have curries or something that you could just have with rice.
As I say, it always depends if you're there at the right time and moment.

I spotted something that was potentially delicious, which was soft dried bean curd sheets topped with spring onion and ginger.
It tasted really good as expected but unfortunately it was too salty so I took a sip of the tea but it was sweet.
The soup was the typical soup which has a ginger taste.
Dessert soup was ok.

Discovered this place because it was surrounded by so many Asians and it reminded me of 2star's Fast Food Center.

I got the aloo tikki for $20 and when they gave it to my, I was shocked how heavy the bag was, when I opened it, the size of these aloo tikkis were the same as donuts.
 0 讚好

They were a bit too spicy but they were really delicious because it was made with heavy mashed silky potatoes and peas in a crispy grounded maize coating.

I was given two sachets of sauce with one but the aloo tikki were tasty and didn't need it.

They had momos as well but it was hard to eat them standing up so I didn't get them.

Not keen on bingsuts, but it seems that everyone is trying this.
There is another branch in Wan Chai.
Went here after going to Chau Kee so I was quite full.
Tried the noodles but it is part of a set, so you get fried egg and buttered bread.

The instant noodles that they use are the Fook Brand which comes with seasoning.

I tried it without the seasoning and it wasn't that bland so I suggest trying it without the seasoning first.

The egg was better than expected because it had a nice soft texture which went nicely with the bread.

Went here again because there is a new green tea molten toast.
I didn't have to queue because I went in the evening so I got a table pretty easily.
On each table, there are some stylish teapots.
Ordered the toast and sesame prawn toast.

sesame prawn toast:
 0 讚好

The toast was perfectly fried, the prawn paste was a pretty light pink colour and it was pure white which means there are no prawn guts in it.
They tasted as good as the ones in the UK.
The sesame prawn toast is paired with salad cream but personally I prefer a wedge of lemon or ketchup.
 0 讚好

I don't normally describe prawn paste as fluffy, but it was light and fluffy because it was like finely chopped pieces of prawn crammed on the toast and then covered with sesame.
It tasted good because the prawns were not blended with flour and the small pieces of finely chopped prawn gives it that springy texture and full on pure prawn taste.

Molten green tea and red beans toast:

A lovely French toast oozing with green tea and red bean filling that was not too sweet.

These are not Halloween desserts but they remind me of Halloween because they look bloody gory!

After trying both, the pumpkin is recommended, the other is too sweet.

Hokkaido pumpkin pudding:
It didn't look like pumpkin pudding at first glance because of the berries and redness.
 0 讚好

Beneath the sauce, there was pumpkin pudding.


The pudding was quite nice because it was not too sweet and there was a slight burnt caramel taste and the pumpkin pudding had a mushy texture.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Chocolate Coffee jelly:
On the menu, it reads chocolate cafe jelly.

Basically it was chocolate mousse on top which was too sweet, then I tried the coffee jelly and that was even worse.
The jelly was really sweet and very bitter, but the sweetness managed stand out more than the bitterness so you can imagine how sweet it was.
