Went here because I was still a bit hungry.
Got the basil and potato bread and the apple and sweet potato tart.
Quite nice but the potato was too hard.
Nice pairing of apple and sweet potato but it was too sweet.

As well as musubis, they also have curry at the Shun Tak branch.
It was really nice and fruity but I wish the apple was not so sweet.
The curry was delicious with rice and you can choose chicken or beef.

Happy fourth anniversary to Sinmei Tea house!
There are now branches in Shanghai and Brisbane.
I didn't attend the party but Thanks to Ivy for getting me an anniversary YO YO cookie which was filled with condensed milk and peanut butter.
An absolutely delicious sweet treat that tastes a bit like shortbread with peanut butter and sweet condensed milk.

Saw the festive drinks so I decided try the hot chocolate orange.
It was really nice with a strong orange taste that was not too artificial and the chocolate was not to rich.

Dry roast pork at JH

Went late hence the pork they served had been sitting there all day so it was dry.

I wish they told me it was sold out rather than giving me stuff that was not fit to eat.

Anyway, the soup had a free strand of instant noodle in it because the staff probably cooked the instant noodle in the seaweed broth because you can see him eating instant noodles.

There was quite a lot of seaweed in the soup and I was impressed because the seaweed was really clean and non-gritty.

Prices have gone up since my last visit.

[Review 4911] Blackforest hot chocolate @ 摩豆 Modos

Tried the new blackforest hot chocolate, which has a really fragrant berry smell.

It tasted a bit like chocolate mixed with blueberry and ribena but it is quite sweet which will satisfy your sweet cravings on a cold day.

The eggettes are tempting once you see them making it so perhaps I will try the chocolate orange or the Russian Borscht next time if I am in the area.

[Review 4910] Dolci winter treats @ 2/3 Dolci

Shop S1, G/F, Festival Walk, 80 Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon Tong
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/dolci-winter-treats-e2528438

Festival Walk is an annoying labyrinth but I managed to find a way of walking to Dolci via the outside of Festival Walk, which seems quicker.
Settled for the Pistachio hot chocolate and apple crumble icecream. The apple crumble icecream was loaded with crumble but less pieces of apple.
I don’t normally drink hot chocolate but the pistachio products at Dolci are a star.
The hot chocolate pistachio version was really nice, because the pistachio was really strong and the drink was thick and rich.
