PAUSA means Pause in Italian so that was exactly what I did. I paused here for dessert!!!!!
Previously, this used to be Beautifood but sadly it packed up.
Anyway, it is now an Italian joint selling pizzas, foccacias and pastas as well Italian gelato.
Tried the gelato cup and the blueberries stole the show because they were huge!
I wonder if there were bigger ones in the kitchen!!
The dessert cup was really good, I got a mix of strawberry gelato and vanilla.
I liked the vanilla the most because it was smooth and creamy.
They change the flavours now and then so I look forward to trying other flavours.

Out of all the branches, this is the worst branch because everything is either out of stock or not yet delivered early in the morning, but I guess I can’t blame them because Tai Koo is such a crap place that people get used to crap there.
Anyway, they gave me the roll which was on display because they didn’t have any others in stock as expected so it was a bit dry on the edges.
The filling in the middle tasted nothing like yoghurt but white chocolate and the texture of the roll was strange.
WEIRD!!

[Review 4755] Scammed by the cherries @ 西樹泡芙 Choux Creme

Eating in Tai Koo seems to be a scam!
Got the Halloween black forest puff which shows three cherries on the product shot.
The one in the cabinet had three cherries, but the one I was given (hidden on the left) only had TWO!
Apart from that, the taste was good, light and not too sweet for a chocolate puff and the cherry was divine because it was a tart one.

[Review 4754] Earl Grey Tea custard egg tart @ 超羣麵包西餅 Maria's Bakery

I don’t really eat Chinese egg tarts but tried this one because of the earl grey filling.
There was not much filling but when I got to the Earl Grey bit, the egg tart was much more palatable but the Earl Grey could have been stronger because the butter crust was too buttery and overpowered the Earl Grey.

I would have liked it if the egg custard and Earl grey were mixed together so that the Earl grey taste would be more balanced.

As well as eggtarts, they also have Earl Grey eggettes.

[Review 4753] Oven roasted chicken @ Goobne Chicken

Fried chicken is popular because of the Korean trend but it can be unhealthy.
At Goobne, they serve roasted chilled chicken (冰鮮雞).
Tried the chicken with curry powder and the Sichuan chicken, which is covered in sauce.
Anyway, despite all the strong seasonings and spices, it had an odd taste that could not be overpowered by the spices.
The Sichuan chicken fared better because it was in a tasty fiery sweet sauce but unfortunately they also put the signature Korean chili powder in it which made it really spicy.

It wasn’t long since I last went to Saizeyria and they have new items again.
This time tried the Doria and the spaghetti with clams in genevose sauce.
I must have been the first to order the new genevose sauce spaghetti because when it came, it was cooked in tomato sauce so I told them it was not the right one and they changed it for me.
The Doria was too creamy for my liking and the pasta was good as expected with a strong herb tastes in the pasta.

[Review 4751] Hong Kong's smallest Pineapple bun 菠蘿油 @ Oddies

Obviously I was here for the mini pineapple bun gimmick because the new Shades flavour is a really local flavour that locals will love since it has Italian low fat soft gelato, caramelized croutons, homemade milk tea gelato, meringue rocks, peanut butter sauce, candied peanuts topped with a cute pineapple bun 菠蘿油.

Anyway, I liked the cute pineapple bun which is a mini choux puff dusted with crumbs with a slice of cake in the middle but other than that, the rest is not my cup of tea because I don’t like local flavours such as HK style milk tea and peanut butter sauce.
Can’t wait to try other creations soon.
