This spot used to be some other dessert shop but I can't remember what.
Anyway, I used to go to Hoi kee for the Hot grounded Pistachio paste which is now discontinued.
They had a new purple potato series so went in for that.
I was contemplating between the Mashed purple sweet potato and taro with herbal jelly in coconut soup or the Mashed purple sweet potato and taro with sago in coconut soup.
In the end I got the one with herbal jelly because I love herbal jelly but it turned out to be a very wrong decision.
The portion was big but the grass jelly was too sweet so it ruined the whole thing.
I wish I had chosen the other dessert with sago.

There is supposed to be an egg tart photo as well but the crappy pastry was too soft that you couldn't pick it up and it fell on the floor.
I was going to take a photo but the street sweepers were too efficient and cleared it right away.
The stuff tasted a bit off anyway, but the irritating thing is that they didn't accept 5 cents.
At first, shops weren't accepting legal one and two cents as tender, now they won't accept 5 cents.

Unfortunately I was in SK during the weekend when it is packed with bloody tourists.

Queues are long as usual, hence these photos were taken while I was waiting in the queue.
Finally it was my turn and I ordered the spare ribs and chicken feet rice.

As soon as I ordered and paid, these pricks behind just couldn't wait and pushed me out of the way to choose their stuff.
Anyway, I got my rice and it was as good as expected because the rice was really tasty infused with a delicious spare rib flavour and it was not too oily.

Queues, queues, I hate queues.

This has solved the problem partially but you still have to wait for the food.Supermarkets in HK should have more self check out tills like UK.

Anyway, if you have used the create your burger kiosk before, it is much the same.

You choose what you want and pay.


Please select "an" payment method???
I still had to wait quite a while anyway, but at least it makes you feel better without having to wait for indecisive people ordering in front of you.
The chocolate pie was quite nice filled with a hot thick chocolate paste.

It was launched before in 2009 but the size was smaller.

There is a Ryoyu Bakery Studio in MK but the dark side of Kowloon is troublesome and MOKU mall is irritating with so many stupid escalators and all that.
Thankfully, the MTR now goes to Whampoa and it is really close to the Exit.
I got the fruit bread which is so soft and yummy loaded with lots of fruit.
Also tried this new purple sweet potato which is good but not as good as the fruit one.

Saw this icecream marshmallow toast at Appolo which costs $40.
It seems quite expensive compared to their other products and it does not contain any bread/toast in it whatsoever. I didn't get it because the icecream inside is either rocky mountain or yuzu, not my favourites.
I got my usual mint chocolate icecream.
The green colour is the brightest compared to other brands but it tastes quite nice with good big pieces of chocolate in it.

The taste of the mint chocolate was quite likeable, it was thick and milky.
The mint and chocolate flavour was not as strong as Appolo, Walls or Haagen Daaz.
Icecream texture was very coarse and contains a lot of icy particles but reasonable for that price and great for satisfying screaming kids who want icecream.
