Went to Yi-ming's Botanic Fantasy Fashion Show 2016 which was held at Zuma.
After the show, there was FOOD~!
I loved the sushi rolls especially the creamy avocado and salmon.
The cucumber and sesame one was good too.
They were so good that you can't stop eating them.






[Review 5309] Great pizzas but poor attitude @ 歌柏絲意大利餐廳 Grappa's Cellar

Went here for lunch because I love their pizzas.
Had the pizza al salsicca which is topped with delicious bits of crumbled meat and pepperoni.
The pizza base was soft and airy while the toppings were strong and flavourful but a bit salty.
The only thing I didn't like was the attitude because they make it an issue if you don't order much.

[Review 5308] A delicious Vietnamese baguette @ 馬丁王越式法包 Vuong's French Sandwich

Previously I have tried the Jordan branch which is takeaway only but this branch is bigger and you can sit there located right on Whitty Street facing HKU's B1 exit.
It was a hot afternoon so I didn't feel like anything hot.
The Vietnamese baguette was the solution and I was craving for bread anyway.

I got the signature Vietnamese baguette and the lime soda.

The baguette was big but I managed to finish it all because it was insanely delicious.


For me, the baguette was good, it was crispy and yeasty and the pickles were sour as they should be.
Every bite had an explosion of flavours and the chilis they put in were hot but it didn't linger.

The only thing I didn't like were the sliced trotters because I just don't like fatty things.

To be honest, I think expats will love this because of the baguettes they use and they are going to launch a cheese and ham one later which I will come back for.

Finished with the lime soda which had a refreshing fizz with a strong lime taste that wasn't toosweet.

Had a quick farewell dinner here because relatives wanted some local food before flying back to UK.
We had noodles, fried beef flat rice noodles, wontons and prawn dumplings which were local classics.
The food was good as expected, springy prawn dumplings and wontons filled with fresh prawns.
The noodles were good according to my relatives because they just love this stuff.
Personally I liked the stir fried flat rice noodles because it had a lovely soy sauce taste with juicy slices of beef in it.

[Review 5306] McCafe's chicken, ham and egg toastie @ McCafe

Went here for the chicken, ham and egg toastie because it was sold out at this other McCafe branch.
They have this special gadget that helps them slice it nicely.
It was really good that she put effort into arranging the toasties attractively on the plate.
The toastie was really good because the cheese was melted and the egg filling was creamy.
I didn't like the ham because I just don't like the plastic ham that they use and you couldn't really taste the chicken either.














[Review 5305] For Dessertissimo Kowloon fans @ 甜入心 Dessertissimo

I am so glad there is a Dessertissimo in Kowloon Bay because I love their coconut jelly.
There are branches in Shamshuipo and Shatin.
Unfortunately, I got there a bit late and my favourite dessert was sold out so I went for the coconut with fish maw.
The piece of fish maw was big and the sweetness of the coconut pudding was just right.
It was a really filling and nutritious dessert to eat but I am coming back for my coconut jelly
