Royal Fantasia experience

After trying so many tea sets at DK Cuppa Tea, I think this is the best one because it has a touch of Royalty and the food is good.

There are a pair of bears gliding gracefully in the courtyard surrounded by other bears.

The tea set was paired with my favourite tea and it was a very memorable one because this was the first tea I had at DK Cuppa in Soho.
The pairing of chocolate, lavender and rose was wonderful.

The experience begins with five magic cards, each card leads to a unique essential oil.
 A complementary postcard is there for you to write your wishes and post it in the royal mailbox at outside.

Before you start, you are crowned with their elegant Tiaras so you can experience tea with a Royal touch.

I began with the savoury treats  and everything there was my favourite such as cheese, salami, Foie gras pate paired with water biscuits.

The best part was surprisingly the English meat balls with mashed potato in bolognese Sauce because the mash and sauce tasted like proper English Shepherds pie.

After finishing the savories, I moved on to the flawless scones.
For sweet treats, there was a fine union jack hazelnut macaron.

Then I had the fragrant black truffle cheesecake topped with a dark chocolate golden crown.

There was also a cute chocolate bear as well but sadly that had to be devoured.

Last but not least was the rich rose chocolate cake filled with gooey chocolate in the middle.

It was definitely a brilliant experience because they make it memorable every time.

I believe this is the only tea house in Hong Kong that lets you have so much fun.

[Review 5839] Great congee but crap hygiene @ 鋒少甜品 Fung's Dessert

Went here again because I love their congee.
The congee is flavourful, you can taste the fruit peel, oysters and I even found duck in it but you have to be careful of brittle bones.
Unfortunately while I was enjoying my congee, this fxxking cockroacxx ran across the table.
Apparently this is not the first incident because there was another review on this matter in august.

Went here for a Christmas gathering but had the flu so everything tasted bland.

Started with the oyster soup which I remember because there was  a thick and strong oyster taste.

Next was the arugula salad which I also remember because it was very bitter in a creamy sesame sauce.

For mains we shared this huge Tomahawk which was meaty and grilled perfectly.

For dessert we had this pineapple and cheese pizza which I thought was weird but it was quite nice.
I wouldn't classify it as a pizza because the base is like a thin cracker.

[Review 5637] Kee Wah's preserved sausages 2016 @ 奇華餅家 Kee Wah Bakery

It's drawing near winter finally, a popular time for hotpots, snake soup and preserved sausages in Hong Kong.
At Kee Wah, they have traditional preserved sausages which are on promotion now until the 21st of December so they would make a great gifts during Winter Solstice gatherings.
Both sausages had fragrant Chinese wine in it which you could smell when they were being steamed and when they were ready to eat.
Personally I prefer liver sausages because I love that rich taste with pieces of liver infused with fragrant wine that is really strong .

[Review 5636] Lovely thick ramen broth @ 魂 Tamashii Japanese Noodle

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/lovely-thick-ramen-broth-e2695932

It took me a while to find locate this place because there is Sharp Street East and West.
Anyway, finally located the joint and it turned out quite small.
There is a table at the front and partitioned tables for one on the other side.
There are four choices on the menu with extras in Chinese, after staring at it for a while, the guy gave me an English menu.
The spinach broth was tempting but then the squid ink broth was good as well with crab paste but since I came here for the green, I ordered the green.
The ramen came fairly quickly, the broth was thick with a strong pork and spinach taste.
As for the caviar, I could only see a tiny black speck on the asparagus.
All was well but the wood has a strange smell and the surfaces had some dust on it.

Back for the cheese and mushroom burger
2016-12-15  181 瀏覽
Since my last visit, I really miss the veggie burger so came back for it.

Burger Joys' location has quite an advantage because it is right next to some busy pubs that attracts late night diners and in the daytime it is an option for offices nearby.
++++++

Coke float:
The drink was a good start because you pour the coke in yourself.

++++++

cheese and mushroom burger with extra Maytag Blue cheese:


The patty is made with five different mushrooms and mixed with tater tots which is then frozen and grilled to order.

Each bite was delicious and the lettuce, tomatoes, guerkins and purple onions all blended in nicely and the extra Maytag Blue cheese I opted gave it an amazing cheesy and salty punch.
++++++

fish burger:


Ordered the fish burger because I saw photos of lovely flaky fish and they use Japanese bread crumbs which is much lighter and crispier.

++++++++++++

Beef burger:
 0 讚好

Although my favourites are fish and veggie, the beef is also good.

++++++++++++

Jasmine tea:

The Jasmine tea that they serve is quite good in quality with a fragrant leafy taste.
