Went back to Pololi because I had a craving for rice and sashimi.
There were new items so I tried the Tuna patty and brown rice, which were not there before.
I added an extra $60 for extra poke which was not as much as I imagined because I was going to try all the flavours and write them here but you only get a few cubes of each so I decided to get two flavours instead.
The brown rice was definitely good because the texture was coarse with a fragrant wheaty rice flavour.
As for the tuna patty, I found it a bit dry and the cubes of tuna had quite a fair bit of membrane in it which was difficult to chew.
I also had spam musubi because the spam is really good and I love the saltiness that goes nicely with the rice, seaweed and egg.

Again, I am trying to try all the joints at Tai O Building so this was the next one.

When I went in I nearly skidded because the floor was covered in grease and you can see the marks after you walk on it.
The lunch sets are really good because they include soup and a main for $30 only.

The chicken and rice was a big portion but half of it was bones and chicken skin, the spring onion and ginger puree was good because it was finely chopped and not too salty which went well with the rice and chicken.
Anyway, had to carefully leave this place because the floor was so slippery.

I noticed that they had the dessert pot plant so I went closer to the cabinet and saw other cheesecakes.
Tried the green tea cheesecake which costs $12.
It was very creamy with a hint of lemon but the green tea taste was not strong enough.

Although the blueberry tart was a bit too sweet, it was actually delicious.

I loved the crust because was not too buttery and the tart was filled with a layer of cake, a thin layer of chocolate and cream topped with glazed blueberries.

This year, there was a cute DHL truck with Chinese tea inside and a separate box of mooncakes!
The mooncakes taste sweet and sickly and they are the same as the other mooncakes by Maxim's except the appearance.

::::TVB mooncakes by Maxims::::::

I love TVB and we had TVB in Europe, they started off with video rentals for TV series but now they have satellite channels where they sometimes broadcast stock series so we get to watch them earlier before they are broadcasted in HK.
Subscribers would get a TVB calendar every year that has the current Miss HK pageants on the front page.

Anyway, someone had mooncakes from TVB so we were really lucky to try them.

They are made by Maxims.
In the box there are two flavours:
White lotus seed paste and egg yolk and lotus seed paste and egg yolk.

Basically they taste the same as the ordinary Maxim's mooncakes which are sweet and sickly.

[Review 4672] Icecream hotdog @ What's Dogs

I regretted not getting the ICEDOG which is basically a hotdog bun with softserve icecream in the middle.
I went for the creamy baked potatoes which was a bad choice because the sauce didn't look creamy and the oil got separated from the sauce and it was quite oily at the bottom.
The garlic was too overpowering, so all I could taste was garlic and I ended up with a garlic breath at an event I was attending.
