Strawberry cream puffs with blue thread
2016-03-08  377 瀏覽
After trying the cream puffs at A1, I decided to try other flavours because they tasted really good.
This box was not so good.

I saw some hair embedded in the icing which can be seen on the photograph, after using a toothpick to dig it out, you could see it was some blue fibre.Not nice!

As for the taste, the flavouring was quite artificial so the other flavours are better.

Went here again because the broth is addictive.
This time I had the Yin Yang pot which allows you to choose two different broths.

I had the rainbow balls which were fun to watch bobbling about in the pot.

Everyone has different opinions on food and there are mixed reviews on this place.

The drinks here are good because there is alot of variety.
The grapefruit fizz was really good because it was pure juice with soda so it is quite healthy.

For those who do not want fizz, there are pure juice options.

The fancy cucumber basil lemonade was refreshing and soothing.

For food I had the roast chicken and linguini vongole.
The vongle was a bit different because it came with lots of broth and they put black pepper in it which overpowered the other flavours.


The spring chicken was quite a big portion with lots of vegetables.
I would have liked it if they didn't put so much butter in the gravy and on the vegetables.


As well as pizza and pastas, they have attractive afternoon tea sets.

Went here for a febbies birthday gathering so I finally got to try this place.

Some items have to be ordered in advance like the Thai herbs omelette and dessert.
Not many places serve this omelette, the other place I know is this other Thai joint in Shamshuipo.
Bascially it was a fluffy omelette with crunchy herbs in the middle, the taste was pleasant for me but some people say it is pungent.

The dessert we had is worth recommending and also needs to be ordered in advance because it is made to order.
Basically it is dumplings in sweet coconut.
The dumplings have three colours: purple, green and orange for pumpkin, taro and pandan.
These soft sticky dumplings were delicious especially the pandan ones.

The pretty owner was really nice and sang Happy birthday in Thai as there were lots of people celebrating their birthdays there that night.
Thank you my dear buddies for this lovely dinner experience.

Thanks to my lovely buddies for taking me here for a birthday curry because I love curries especially Indian or curries that taste good.
I like the curries here because they serve soup curry.
The beef burger patty was a bit dry though.
We tried the tomato based curry which was quite good and we also tried other dishes.
The water spinach and brussel sprouts are worth trying.

Tried Wong Chi Kei before in Central but as I didnt try the noodles I didn't know the noodles were the best.

The noodles here are really thin and tasty and they don't have that nasty alkaline taste.

The platter is really good because you can sample all the goodies like dumplings, wontons, pork trotters, beef belly and braised mushrooms.

I didn't try this but they have crispy baguette buns that you get in Macau with scrambled egg and black truffle.

Happy hour and canapes for $55
2016-03-06  4190 瀏覽
Normally when I am early for dinner I go to cafes and have a drink but it is hard getting a seat because everyone is having a drink.
I tried out Tivo because I was on Wynham street, drinks were only $55 and they had mocktails as well.
The drinks include a canapes buffet which is quite good.
I really liked the olives because they were big and juicy.

The lychee blossom that I had was refreshing with a strong lychee taste.
