Got some noodles which were quite expensive for $30 but I suppose the portion was quite big.
There are three sauces to choose from: peanut sauce, Korean sauce and sesame sauce but I didn't have any because they are all sweet and I don't like  them.
The guy puts soy sauce in it as well so it won't be tasteless.
Unfortunately the tofu that I chose was sweet so that was disgusting and the imitation shark fins were really salty!!!
If he hadn't put the soy sauce, the flavours from the imitation sharks fin would have balanced the noodle nicely.

I love mint chocolate but the mint chocolate bread was ruined with green tea that you can't really taste the mint.

The chocolate chips used were the cheap type.
I also wanted to get the Earl Grey tea bread but they ruined it with mango.
The Asian market loves Green tea and mango so much so why don't they just make a green tea and mango flavour and leave the good pairings alone.

As an expat, Marks and Spencer is always my haven for British food.
Today's visit was not good and the staff should have better training as they are ruining this prestigious British brand in Hong Kong.
I was buying stuff when I discovered a moldy bap in the pack so I went and told the cashier who didn't respond in a normal way.
+++++
Me: It's moldy.
Cashier: yes because it expires today.
(scans the buns)
Me: I am just telling you it's moldy, I don't want it..
Location: marks n spencer, East point city, hong kong

In the end I got corned beef and assorted buns.
The corned beef was quite salty and dry.

I am so glad that MS have finally stocked these cream slices.
Basically it is cream and jam in between layers of puff pastry topped with a beautiful icing.
These are my favourite things to go with tea.

The smoothie on the other hand wasn't nice because the lime was too acidic!

Tried this place because it was always shown on the front page of this website.

The dimsums taste ok but not the best.
However they are healthier than other places because there is no oil, not even a drop.

The chicken was fresh, moist and bouncy even though it looked dry and unappealing.

There was a big chunk of lean chicken thigh in the middle.

Normally I go to the CWB branch because the service and environment here is not as good.
Anyway, tried the new olive and herb broth.
I know pictures are for reference only but when my actual broth came the star of the show was olive but as you can see, there are not many pieces which is fine if the broth has a strong olive taste but there wasn't.
I made the mistake of ordering the Chinese noodles because they had a strong alkaline taste.

I liked this place because there were not many people and the lady who served us had good knowledge of food.
For desserts we had the egg white puffs which were light and fluffy filled with red beans and banana.
The famous duck was as good as it claims with crispy skin and lean velvety duck meat.
I was surprised that there was a chef in front of you slicing the duck.
