[Review 4758] Beef Liberty :Mo’ Quinoa for Movember @ Beef & Liberty

Movember is a month of growing moustaches in November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as depression in men, prostate cancer and other male cancers, and associated charities.
Beef and Liberty have launched the Mo’ Quinoa burger for Movember, a healthy vegetarian burger with Quinoa patty covered in my favourite sharp and creamy cottage cheese.
The Quinoa patty contains Quinoa, red onion, cumin, jalapeno and cheddar cheese.
When it was served, the top part of the bun has a cute moustache on it.


Cottage cheese!!

This is just the burger for me because I love the crispiness of the Quinoa coating and inside it is fluffy but tasty with a strong cumin and spicy jalapeno flavour.

===
For drinks I had the ginger and vanilla milkshake which had so much vanilla seeds at the bottom.
It was thick and sweet blended with icecream.

Eton's Mess

I love the desserts at Beef and Liberty because they always have a British dessert on the menu and a while ago they had scotch egg on the food menu too.
The dessert was good because I was craving for strawberries and cream but this was thick cream with pieces of meringue to balance the sourness of the strawberries.

[Review 4757] Pause for dessert @ Pausa

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.

Blueberry yoghurt roll

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.
