I love Appolo's frozen yoghurt because it is the mother of all froyos in Hong Kong before the Froyo trend and it tastes natrual.
Went here because I was having dinner nearby and discovered that they had this uji matcha froyo which sounds good as you don't often find any froyo that is matcha flavoured.
As well as uji matcha, they also had this new Hokkaido vanilla flavour but you can't try them.
I was told that it was froyo mixed with uji matcha powder.
Anyway, the woman there was a bit grumpy so it was hard asking her about the different flavours.
There was some free strawberry yoghurt at the bottom from the last order.
As for the uji matcha, it was quite nice but a bit too sweet which overpowered the yoghurt flavour and the uji matcha flavour was quite strong with hard starchy bits of red beans in it.

If your British, then curry sauce or gravy with chips are a must.
Found out that they had curry sauce and chips so went there for it.
It cost $48 for chips and curry sauce which strangely has melted cheese in it.
There was also Indonesian salad which is weird for a Japanese restaurant.

Curry sauce and chips with melted cheese:
The fries were basically the thin type served at McDonalds with a similar taste but the curry didn't work for me because it was too spicy with a strong curry essence flavour and a hint of weird sweetness to it.

[Review 4773] All day breakfast at LKF @ Cali-Mex

I love the breakfast bowls here so got the bacon one.

All day breakfast Crispy bacon bowl:

I love their bowls but the breakfast bowl is even better because it comes with fried egg or scrambled egg.
Since I have already tried the fried egg version, I got the scrambled egg which tastes really nice with the cheese.
For sauces, I tried the medium this time which is red in colour but not that spicy.
The bacon was good but not all of it was crispy and the rice was cold while the portion was small compared to other bowls that they serve for the same price.

[Review 4772] Sinmei Matcha Afternoon Tea set @ 川善茶居 Sinmei Tea

Tried Sinmei's matcha afternoon tea which is new.
There are scones, Lamingtons, yoyos and topped waffles served with jam, matcha ganache and my favourite magic green sauce that is found in the Hakka thunder tea.
All my favourite sweet treats with a strong matcha taste.

As well as the tea, they are serving Hibiscus tea, Yuzu Australian black tea and the Matcha latte with fresh honeycomb flown from Brisbane's Bee One Third while stocks last.
My favourite was the hibiscus tea because it tastes natural compared to other places and the Yuzu Australian black tea goes well with sweet honey too.
Yuzu Australian black tea with honeycomb:
The matcha latte and honey is also good with that delicious foam cap on top.

[Review 4771] A breadwinner @ Le Fournil

A breadwinner means a person who earns money to support the family which is similar to the ricebowl in Chinese which means income.
I like this place because their bread is a winner with a great smell and taste because they use French flour.
I was attracted to this place because of the Forever friends bear and the fact that they had a sweet potato flavoured macaron previously posted on their FB.
They are selling Forever Friends cookies and the British theme is my favourite because of the flavours, as well as cookie sets they have single flavours in store.

Cute mini scones:

Clearly, this is a popular bakery in Kowloon City because it was jam packed with people captivated by the pretty cakes.

There is a gelato cabinet with lots of captivating flavours such as Earl Grey, Pistachio, Fig, Balsamic, Basil etc.

I settled for some green tea cakes and some savory buns.


Although the cakes were good, I was impressed with the bakery because they were filled with lots of filling unlike other local brands and tasted superb as well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Green tea with lychee:


A light and refreshing cake with a balanced green tea and lychee flavour without being too sweet.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Green tea opera:


A delicously layered cake that is not too sweet flavoured by the green tea chocolate on top.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Salmon and herbs:

There was so much filling in it!

The filling had a strong flavour loaded with so much Thyme that you can see but the bun had a strong Hokkaido milk taste which was a bit sweet.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Mediterranean beef bun:

Again, this was crammed with so much beef and big cubes of beef which has a strong appetizing sundried tomato flavour.
