Finally tried the cheese tart from this famous joint causing queues and chaos at the basement of Sogo.

There are different ways to eat it, you can reheat it so that the filling becomes runny or have it at room temperature where the filling is thick and mousse like.

I had mine at room temperature and it tasted like those Japanese cheese cakes in a tart crust.

The tart crust is hard with a buttery smell.

It was quite nice but after trying the limited edition chocolate cheese tart at the new APM branch, I prefer the chocolate one and it will be available soon from the 23rd to the 27th January at SOGO.

Although this joint serves Taiwanese style noodles, they also serve Chinese dishes on the menu like instant noodles in Chinese style cheese sauce.
I had the vermicelli with mince and soft pork cartilage.
Unfortunately, the broth wasn’t that fresh and you could taste the strong overnight pork smell but luckily there was chili on the table to get rid of that taste.
The mince wasn’t good either hence the reason I prefer vegetarian dishes because I found this weird tube in it which looks like an artery of some sort.

Stopped by for some Black cherry frozen yoghurt parfait and green tea.
The froyo was quite powdery but there were lots of canned cherries at the bottom and at the top.
It was layered with nata de coco, cheerio pieces, vanilla panna cotta and mango.
The dessert was ok but a bit pricey.

I was so glad I was at apm because I managed to get the new chocolate cheese tarts which were only available today [12/1/17].
They cost $130 for a box of six and the chocolate cheese filling was thick with a strong chocolate taste.
To be honest I think the chocolate is better than the original.
The chocolate tarts will be on sale later at sogo from Jan 23-27!!

[Review 5703] Chicken pot @ 御麵軒 Regal Noodles

Chicken pot
The chicken pot is quite a good deal for $158 where you get half a chicken but chopped in Chinese style hence it is just bones.

The main ripoff is the sauce which costs $15 per person when you don't need it as the chicken pot is tasty enough in its original sauce.

The sugar cane drink is the bottled one.

[Review 5702] Beetroot Mousse Cake @ The Staff

I went here for because they had this beetroot mousse cake which is really rare and unique.
The texture was like silky whipped light cream with a strong beetroot taste that was not too sweet. This was the reason I liked it because you can actually taste the beetroot and there is freshly grated beetroot on top which enhances the beetroot flavour even more.
My tropical green tea was served in a cool metal teapot and it had a strong leafy taste.
I will be back soon for dinner.

Found out about this new branch when I went to the Sheung Wan joint recently.
The menu is the same.
They have hung the same pictures as SW at this branch.
I have had the famous dumpling and noodles before so went for something different this time.
On this visit had sweet and sour fish which was crispy and tart, the sauce was good so it would be good if there was more.

The soup was good too, it had proper beancurd and not the tasteless silky Japanese type that some Shanghai joints use.
