The Tai Koo branch is crap but this branch is much better.
This time went for desserts and there are quite a lot of choices ranging from pulled sugar silk strawberries to souffle balls.

I tried the chocolate souffle balls because it is not often found on the menu.
The usual choices that you get are mango, red beans and custard.
The chocolate souffle balls were really nice, the egg white was mixed with chocolate and the inside was filled with chocolate sauce that was not sweet at all.
The savoury dish was too sickly though because the sesame sauce was too oily and sweet.

This Japanese place has been here for quite a while and I was planning to go when I saw Marshy’s review because she loves Japanese food.

Went here on a Friday and it was quite busy but we got there early.

Started off with some pickles to refresh our palettes.

[Review 4818] Undiscovered joint for Italian food @ Yours Milano

I discovered this place on the way to Yours Bistro because the building looked like a really nice hotel.
Yours Milano is a nice place for gatherings because there is a lovely garden like balcony with comfortable seating inside the restaurant.

Tried the Pizza, which was surprisingly nice, because the crucial pizza base and cheese were really good.
The base was crispy and not too chewy while the cheese was tasty and strong.
We had the PIZZA YOURS MILANO 招牌米蘭薄餅 which had Mozzarella cheese, marinated chicken, olives, red onions, salami, roasted garlic, Portobellos and baby spinach.
 0 讚好

For pasta, we had the RAVIOLI VERDI con PORCINI al TARTUFO 意式牛肝菌雲吞伴黑松露忌廉汁.

It was Triangular shaped ravioli drizzled in thick and creamy fragrant black truffle sauce filled with porcini mushroom.

I will most probably come back for the Christmas dinner which costs $388 per person.

The air con at this place is freezing cold, a great way to make customers eat quickly and go.
There was not much on the menu but the dessert selection was good because they had chocolate egg white puffs.
For noodles I had the chili hot oil beef with noodles which was extremely spicy, the beef was not that fresh so I didn’t bother eating it.

[Review 4816] New coconut desserts at Hui Lui Shan @ 許留山 Hui Lau Shan

HLS have launched these coconut desserts for winter, which were surprisingly nice compared to the dessert soups launched previously.
There are three flavours: durian, sweet potato and bird’s nest.

When I ordered it, I was surprised they gave me a chilled choice because it was a winter dessert but I highly recommend the chilled one because dairy products taste better cold.
The taste was very palatable with a fragrant young coconut taste with bits of hasmar jelly and bird’s nest.

You can scrape off the delicious young coconut meat and eat it.

To me, the coconut dessert was just like a thick milkshake that you could just drink using a straw.
