Went to Ebb & Flow, a nice relaxing place with wifi and plenty of sockets to charge electrical devices.
Tried the Rainbow afternoon tea set which is shown on their ipad and the price and items are clearly listed.


The colourful waffles are all you can eat.

It costs $198 for one or $388 for two.


There are a good selection drinks and we chose Earl grey tea and latte.


Here was the Rainbow afternoon tea set we had:


I loved the savouries.
The brioche filled with pulled pork and kimchi was lovely and warm with a sweet and spicy taste.
The other three were also delicious especially the silky pate foie gras with date chutney, while the tuna tartar had a Thai touch to it.


The tea set also had eclairs which were divine. The strawberry tasted natrual with popping candy on top, and the apple one had delicious apple slices in the middle.


We then moved on to the waffles.
They were soft and chewy and pistachio was my favourite so we had more since you can order as much as you want.

After googling this place, I thought it was a vegetarian restaurant but they serve both vegan and meat dishes.
They specialize in Middle Eastern & Mediterranean dishes.

Started with Tabouleh which is a appetizing mix of chopped parsley, tomatoes and bulgar wheat.

Then we had six colourful dips.
My favourite was the green mixed with avocado and pistachios.

The pita bread that went with it was a bit too hard and dry.
Then we had the Jordanian Shisbarak dumplings which were made vegetarian filled with vegetarian cheese surrounded in yoghurt.
It was quite salty.

Next were rices:
The Arabic fried rice was tasty infused with my favourite cumin.

The Mojadra had crispy lentils with a slight spicy flavour.

Finished with the Shish Tawook which was a bit bland compared to the dishes that came before.

For dessert, the mastic icecream was loaded with pistachio nuts with a light rose flavour but the texture was not elastic enough.

The Kanafeh was interesting, it tasted like deep fried mozzarella coated in sweet crispy bits.


I really enjoyed the Mezzes and fried rice but it would be good if the food came faster.

[Review 5406] Clean and delicious food @ 龍鳳祥餃子館 Dumpling Pro

I didn't hesitate to stop by for dumplings because I have tried the Wan Chai branch before.
The menu is slightly different here as they serve mainly dumplings and noodles.
The WanChai branch serves more variety like the delicious toffee apples which I went twice for.

Got the different pan fried dumplings, the egg and tomato and the lamb with a beef broth.
The egg and tomato one was really good and it was tasty enough without sauce.
I also had the beef broth which was really strong and salty.
It was hard to choose because I wanted the vegetarian dumpling as well.

Also had the chicken, cucumber and flat bean sheets in sesame sauce which was presented neatly in the dish.
It tasted nice and not too heavy.

The Spicy pork knuckles was promising, when it arrived it looked soft like steamed chicken feet in black bean sauce and it definitely was soft and delicious.
It came with a delicious gravy which went well with the noodles.

Tulsi Indian Restaurant is basically my canteen for Indian food.
Everytime I come here, I just have rice, butter chicken, saag paneer etc.

This time I decided to go for different dishes for a change.
The guy was amazing, he didn't even have to jot down my order and he remembered everything.

Started with the samosa which were generously big filled with fluffy spiced potatoes and peas complimented with a sweet mint sauce.

I also ordered raita which goes with everything.

For the mains, had the beef masala with Kashmiri naan.
The curry was well spiced with a hint of lemongrass.

The Kashmiri naan which was stuffed with coconut and fruit looked and tasted interesting.
The filling was bright orange and it tasted like Chinese steamed custard buns but with a crisp chewy naan bread texture.

Ended the meal with lemon soda, coffee lassi and mango smoothie.



They also had buttermilk which is lassi flavoured with cumin, chilis and spices similar to the Jal Jeera.
I got the same funny reaction like you won't want to order that lol!

Went here for a quick lunch.
Had the vegetarian breakfast because it had mushrooms and pumpkins.
The scrambled egg was nicely done.

As well as the breakfast, I had the prawn baguette which was really good because there was lots of dill and I love that herb.

Tried to go here a few days ago but it was closed.
Luckily there was a good noodle shop nearby and I had the $99 afternoon tea set at Spade by Lassana so I didn't waste my journey.
Went again and luckily it was open.
The staff here were really nice.
It was quite hot eating there because I sat outside.
Anyway, I ordered the Thai noodles with marinated duck and crispy pork.
It was nice that they give you blood curds.

The pork was crispy and deliciouis without being too fat or salty.

The duck was disappointing because it was just skin and bones and I don't know how to eat skin and bones.
The only piece that did have a bit of meat was delicious and tasty.

There were some sauces on the table which make the noodles even more delicious if you add them.
