A famous icecream connoisseur has hit HK and obviously popular with never ending queues day and night.
There are so many flavours of icecream and cones to choose from.
As well as icecream they have SWEET TREATS to satisfy chocolate cravings.
Inside the icecream parlour:
The record number of scoops is TEN but I decided to have THREE.


Top scoop: deep purple cow = blackberry, black and white chocolate
Middle scoop: Serious chocolate addition -  chocolate and chocolate sauce
Bottom scoop: Cake batter

Only took two photos because it was dripping and the strong forces of gravity were attacking it.
The icecream was sweet and thick with chunks of chocolate in it and gooey sweetness.

Anyway, I will be back again to try other flavours.

[Review 4768] Back for pukka pies @ Chip In Fish & Chips Bistro

I know I have commented on this place more than once but I dine here because they serve British food just like The Cabin.
You will only find me commenting more than once if it serves British food which is my comfort food.

Finally had the cheese and onion pukka pie because it was sold out last time.

The pie came with mash drizzled with Bisto gravy and spring onions, sweetcorn.
At first I was a bit annoyed with the ketchup but it turned out quite nice because they don't use Chinese ketchup which is sweet and weird.

Next the mash was good because it was bisto gravy and the spring onions gave it a nice grassy taste.

Last but not least was my delicious pie which I left last to eat because it is my favourite.
The pie was really crispy with molten cheesy filling with a hint of paprika.

[Review 4767] LKF is on fire @ Grill ขุนทอง

Noticed this shop in the summer and it visually made you feel like the street was on fire standing close to it because they have a digital burning fire on the LCD panel.
Decided to try it now because the weather was cooler.
I would have had the dry aged steak because I love dry aged meats but it was sold out.

Anyway, settled for skewers and tried the chicken, pork, squid, sausage and asparagus.
The sauces were a bit confusing just like silverthoughts said because for chicken and pork they are paired with satay sauce so you can't choose.
Most of the skewers I had were paired with satay sauce which gave it a nice peanut taste and the beef was most impressive because it was lean and tender.
For drinks I had the lime soda which tasted natrual and not sweetened.

This place is going to popular with partygoers and expats because it looks clean and simple.
They also have rice as well.

[Review 4766] More $15 treats at McDonalds @ 麥當勞 McDonald's

$15 can be a lot of money depending where you are.
In HK, you can't get anything, not even a decent cake or a cup of tea.
At McDonalds they have a $15 tea set which their staff do not even know about because when I ordered, I had to show them a photo which I took at their restaurant.
After I showed them, they were fumbling with the POS to key in this order.
For $15, the deal was good because I could get a decent cup of tea which $15 won't buy me, and there was a bonus too, a choice of chicken wings, popcorn chicken or chicken nuggets with SQUEEZY CHEESE SAUCE!~
The tea was good because I got the teabag one and the chicken wings were crispy and spicy.

The other set, I got popcorn chicken which was bitesized coated in crispy coating.
