Butterflies in ones stomach is a phrase to describe the nervous feeling one gets before doing something.

Anyway, I had the Butterfly blossom afternoon tea which is paired with Comptoir Francais du The.

Sweet plate:
Marshmallow tree:
The tea set was quite filling and the prawn cocktails were really good because the prawns were springy and the tomato sauce was spicy and sharp with pieces of vegetables in it.
Normally I prefer the savoury items but here the sweet plate was just as nice with colourful macarons and tarts.
The sweet potato macaron was my favourite and the rich red velvet cupcakes went nicely with the tea.

[Review 5223] A spacious place to chill out @ 帝樂 - 德國餐廳 Prost by King Ludwig

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/a-spacious-place-to-chill-out-e2575313
This is a great place for group gatherings and food portions are ideal for sharing.
Coconut cream:
I started off with the coconut cream which was mixed with coconut, pineapple and hazelnut.
The hazelnut and pineapple paired really nice together and the hazelnut taste was really prominent.
Bavarian platter:
Black forest ham, cured sausages, meatloaf, cheese, Obatzda and pickles.
Obatzda is a mix of two thirds aged soft cheese, one third butter and some condiments depending on the recipe.
I really liked the obatzda because it was creamy and delicious with bread and the other soft cheese with walnuts was great.
Crispy roast Pork knuckle with saukeraut and roast potatoes:
A nice of pork knuckle great for sharing.
Roast German chicken on jambalaya:
I love Southern jambalaya but I can't quite see how this is German but anyway the Jambalaya was spicy and delicious with lots of okra in it.
Pear and mango crumble:
Again I don't think this is German but it has mango so locals will love it.
It was great that it came with two cute marzipan pears because I haven't had that in ages.

[Review 5222] Ice cream choux puffs @ Owl's Choux

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/ice-cream-choux-puffs-e2575298
Saw lovely posts of the icecream puffs so decided to give this place a visit.
They offer a variety of choux puffs filled with gelato.
I got the red velvet.
The sweetness was just right and the gelato fits just right in the choux puff.
As well as choux puffs they have chougettes which are really delicious light puffs with crispy meringues bits stuck to it.
There is caramel sauce for it as well.

[Review 5221] Burmese food @ 緬甸椰汁鷄湯麵店

There used to be one place for Burmese food a few years ago in Cheung Sha Wan called 滋味堡 but it closed down so you have to go to Macau for it.

Now there is a joint in yaumatei.
Tried the Mohinga noodles (burmese fish noodles).
It had banana tree stems in it which were a bit too woody for my liking.
I was given prawn crackers but some Burmese places give you tofu puffs.
Compared to Cheung Sha Wan, the noodles were different, here you get thick rice noodles and the place I tried before had flat rice noodles.
The soup was bland and there were too many fine fish bones it it.

[Review 5220] Creative dimsums @ 黃金茶寮點心專門店 Golden Dim Sum

Recently started going to spk because my club is there so I decided to eat around the area.
It was really hard deciding what to eat because everything is local around there.
Anyway settled here because they had some dimsums I havent tried before.
I got the steamed fish head with rice but it was too salty.
If I knew they had a whole steamed fish I would have had that instead.
Also had steamed ribs because it had chan's village noodles (chan chuen faan) beneath it but obviously I didn't eat the fatty pork.
The noodles were like dense rice rolls but nicer because it absorbed the sauces.
Next time I will come back for the steamed fish and fancy dimsums.
