I have always wanted to try this Uji matcha and black sugar charcoal cake which meant I had to get the whole cake.
Now they sell them in slices.
I liked the colourful layers of soft cake with a bitter matcha aftertaste that was not too sweet.
There were opaque Kanten jelly cubes in it.

[Review 4917] Second surprise at Oscar Bakery @ Oscar Bakery
01/01/2016
Oscar Bakery
太子太子道西157號別樹華軒地下15號舖
Shop 15, G/F, Bijou Apartments, 157 Prince Edward Road East, Prince Edward
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/second-surprise-at-oscar-bakery-e2529342
After trying the croissant I decided to go back for the quiches because it could possibly taste nice according to the standard of the croissant I had last time.
Strangely, I have this weird gift of drawing people where I go because this shop was EMPTY when I got there and I find this gift extremely annoying when I go to quiet restaurants to get peace and quiet obviously.
Anyway, there were three quiches spinach, bacon and mushroom so I got the spinach and mushroom.
They also had the latest craze which are the molten cheese tarts in lots of flavours as well as plain cheese.
There was green tea and red bean as well as Durian.
I have tried them before and dont' like them because they are sickly with a weird Chinese style cheese taste.
Decided to get the green tea one anyway.
The quiches were impressive but spinach tasted better because there were not many slices of mushroom in the mushroom quiche.
It was the quiche pastry that impressed me because it was only 7mm thick with a firm but crumbly texture without that weird local Chinese butter taste or smell.
As for the filling, it was so good and tasted like a real quiche with full cheesy and savory flavours and none of that weird Chinese sweetness in it!
To be honest, they don't look appealing at all but they are delicious!
I didn’t expect to like the molten cheese tart but the tart pastry won me again because it was thin and crumbly and the green tea and red bean filling wasn’t overly sickly.

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
2015-12-30 2622 瀏覽
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.
