When you register at the reception, they only explain to you about a particular price plan, it is only when you ask, they will explain other options.

Normally I go to CEO in CWB where the service is much better.
Went here because I was in MK and it was too hot to go anywhere.

After 30 minutes, a girl comes in and says that I have to settle the bill because they have to settle the bill imediately if there is only one person.
This was fine by me but they could have made the process more efficient by taking payment when I was at reception.

The thing that really pissed me off was the girl deliberately left the door open with a door stopper after she took my credit card out to process.
Never have I experienced this weird shit in other branches and I don't understand why she left the door open.
Every room has a number anyway, so it is a bit stupid to leave the door open to remember which room to bring the bill back.

Went back for more cakes and there were some new flavours.

Tried the new green tea flavour.

I forgot to take a picture of the green tea centre but the cake was really good because the green tea flavour was natrual and the whole thing was not too sweet.

I also got the chocolate banana.
There was a nice runny banana creme filling in the middle.

This spot used to be the Limehouse but not anymore!!
Now it has changed to Timón Seafood Tapas Bar & Restaurant.
Went here for tapas one night and here was what we had:

Started with crispy baguette slices of Avocado crabmeat, White anchovies and piquillo pepper.
The avocado crabmeat was interesting because it had bits of apple in it.
The anchovy one was my favourite because it had a nice vinegary taste.

The Bellota Masters ham (40 months) are a must eat because they are really tasty.

Cod fish croquettes with artichoke mayo dip:
 0 讚好

The fish croquettes on their own were quite creamy so I didn't really use the dip.
++++++++++
Crispy pork with orange and honey sauce:

The pork was really silky and tender that it was like eating chicken thigh meat complimented by a sweet orange and honey sauce.
+++++++++
Gazpacho with smoked sardine:

A refreshing cold soup with a strong red pepper taste with a slight bitterness.
++++++++++
Padron peppers:

This is a classic dish to order when having tapas and they taste like mini green peppers.
++++++++++
Black ink creamy rice:

I love rice and this was delicious because there was so much black ink sauce which made every spoon delicious and there were generous pieces of squid in it.

A while ago I was going to bring a friend here for their birthday but as this place just opened they didn't open on that Sunday so now that friend was here on this visit.

We started on the crab cakes which were loaded with silky crabmeat in the middle.
They tasted nice without the mayonnaise.
We also had truffle fries which were sprinkled with truffle oil and truffle salt.
The truffle aroma was strong, but if it is not strong enough, there is a side of truffle mayo as well.

Now to my new favourite!
The scallop roll.
I am not keen on scallop but the scallop here is a MUST EAT!
As well as the scallop, it also came with coral (roe) and the colour of that coral was vibrant orange making it look damn delicious.
Not only did it look good, it was divine! I loved it because the scallops were lightly seared so it had that semi cooked sashimi texture and the roe was soft too in this butter sauce that was not too overwhelming.

My friend liked the Pulled beef short rib roll.
It tasted like pulled pork in a sweet smokey sauce.

The crab roll was just as good as the first time I had it.
It was pure delicious crab meat in the soft crispy roll and I was so happy eating it because how often do you get so much crab meat that is off the shell and without the trouble of deshelling it.

We finished off with some refreshing drinks.

I would be here all the time if it wasn't such a trek because it is in between Wanchai and CWB but nearer to WC!
Anyway, I love the icelollies here.

Now they have gelato as well as icelollies.

I went for the strawberry icelolly which has a liquid centre.
You get a free scoop of gelato as well but I wasn't in the mood for it so I didn't have it.
Unfortunately, I found the strawberry ice a bit too sweet but the condensed milk in the middle saved it because it was sweeter so it made the strawberry not so sweet.
I really liked it because it was like having strawberries and cream while looking like strawberry splits.
Hopefully, the strawberry part won't be so sweet next time.
The condensed milk in the middle is quite runny so be warned.
