It was too hot for a coffee, so I had the fizzy orange juice while my friends had coffees.

My fizzy orange was actually really good because it had real orange juice in it and a nice fizz.
Here were the coffees they had, one was latte and the other one was hand dripped coffee which is different everytime because they use different beans every two weeks so you will have to ask what beans they are using.

The hand dripped coffee was interesting, there was a nifty gadget where they place it on scales and the phone app corresponds with a timer and weight.

We also had cakes there from Thomas Trillion:

+++
Royal:


Looking romantically red it was actually mostly creamy caramel in the middle.
+++
Majesty:


This went well with coffee.
It was silky chocolate mousse with soft chocolate sponge cake in the middle complemented by a nice orange flavour to it.
+++
Mango Tango:


The mango tango was quite summery and fruity with mango and passionfruit.
I liked the pistachio sponge in the middle.

[Review 5360] Uji matcha danish @ Little Mermaid Bakery

I am not really keen on uji matcha but tried it because it was a danish.
It was interesting to see how a matcha danish would taste because you normally get fruit ones.
The matcha taste was light and there was some green paste in the middle which was starchy and sweet.
It seems that the labelling is a bit buggered up because the description is the same for the lemon and uji matcha danish.

Hainan Season specializes in young coconut water hotpot broth which gives everything a natrual sweet flavour.
Went there for dinner and Hainan Season takes up the whole floor at Windsor House so its BIG!
You will also see lots of young coconuts in the restaurants so it's coconuts there.
I was really excited about my young coconut water hotpot broth because it was just pure coconut water.


We had the chicken which became springy and sweet after being blanched in the coconut water broth.
The chicken comes with calamansi, fresh galangal and chillies that compliment it well especially the crisp fresh galangal.



As well as the chicken, I kept drinking the broth because it was sweet coconut water infused with a lovely chicken flavour.

After we had the chicken we put other stuff in the pot.



The Wenchang chicken 文昌雞 was also good because it had a lovely springy texture as well as great taste.
I even ate the chicken skin which I don't eat because it was so delicious.
The texture was quite crisp with a slight elasticity to it.

I didn't realize that the risotto nero di seppia was only available for the afternoon tea.

Went one afternoon and had it.
The deal was quite reasonable because it was only $38, no service charge with unlimited drinks.

The squid ink risotto was quite good and tasty.
For drinks, there is a good variety.

Went here for tea but unfortunately I didn't look at the menu close enough to see that it was fishcake and not fish burger.
It was basically a Japanese style fish cake which is sweet and rubbery so not my cup of tea.
The bun was nice and crispy though.
Other stuff that I had which are not really worth mentioning.

Went here again food, this time I had the fish fingers roll.
The fish was how it should be ie chunky and flaky with a good fishy taste to it but the bread was a bit disappointing though because it was cold.

I never go to QB or Taikoo because food is always shit and the prices are way overpriced which I would rather pay dining in West Hong Kong.
It is weird that No 7 Tasty Channel is listed on openrice as well as the other shops listed individually.

It is on the second floor so two flights of stairs up.
The decor was really good and that's it.
Basically you choose what you want from the menu, pay for it at the cashier and collect it from the relevant joint.
I felt that it was Quarry Bay prices except for the fish noodle stall that used to be in Tai Kok tsui.

Hopefully, they will have some other new stalls like Indian, English, Italian and vegetarian because the current choices are a bit too local for my liking.
