Dessert at Popwalk
2017-04-16  60 瀏覽
After eating at a restaurant nearby, went here for dessert.

The purple potato mille feulle was really good because the flaky layers were light and not too sweet.

It would be great if they had other flavours such as strawberry or custard.

The lavender Swiss roll was too overwhelming for me because the smell and taste was too strong like perfume.
The berries parfait fared better with delicious jelly at the bottom.

I missed the steak at Le Saison xxx so went here for it but when I got there the restaurant had changed to Chic by The Oyster House.

Decided to try this new place anyway.

Started with the mocktail Cuddles on the beach which was a mix of cranberry, peach, grapefruit and ginger ale.

It was quite nice but the ginger ale was a bit strong and over powered the rest.

Started with burrata caprese which was creamy.

The tomatoes were amazing because they have been peeled.
Next was the oyster vichyssoise, a smooth oyster soup with a sweet taste because of the leeks.

The creamy mussels are a must order because they serve imported chilled mussels which are top notch.

I don't normally order Carbonara but it looked delicious from the photos.
The sauce isn't too creamy as they use Italian egg yolks and their home cured pancetta gives it a nice salty flavour.

I was quite full for dessert so tried a little bit of the apple crumble and the Tiramisu.

The Baileys icecream that comes with the apple crumble is divine.

Discovered this place because of the market.
Portions are big but the taste is average.
The pork trotters were too salty and the lotus roots were old and dry.
As well as rice you can get quinoa rice for free.

Victoria Harbour Restaurant is everywhere in Hong Kong but Victoria Harbour Supreme which is part of the same group specializes in fine Chinese food and there are only two branches.

I dined at the Wan Chai branch which is spacious and equipped for wedding and events with a huge screen and two smaller screens beside it which can show other videos simultaneously.

Here was what we had that night:

★☆★☆★☆★☆

Chilled crab:

I love Alaskan crabs because they are big!

This one was colossal weighing eight catties.

The claw was the size of my fist.

The crab was cracked open so it was effortless eating the crab meat.

 0 讚好

It was moist and sweet on its own but their was kombu sauce which brings out the sea flavour even more.

★☆★☆★☆★☆

The fish maw and whelk soup was shockingly affordable at $48 per person pot or $188 for a big pot for six.

 0 讚好

A nourishing msg free soup with a generous piece of gelatinous fish maw.

★☆★☆★☆★☆

Next was the South African abalone which was braised in rich oyster sauce with goose feet.

The goose feet were soft and the bones detached easily.

The abalone was soft with a natural sweet taste infused with oyster gravy.

★☆★☆★☆★☆

Then we had this baked large prawn covered in uni.

 0 讚好

The prawn was fresh and springy but the sauce on top had too much salad cream so it was hard to taste the uni.

★☆★☆★☆★☆

Finished off with saddletail garoupa which was surrounded in lots of healthy wolfberries, black fungas, loofah, celery and potato noodles.

The fish was silky and the noodles were the best part because it is soaked in fish soup which was so delicious to drink.

★☆★☆★☆★☆

For vegetables, we had sumptuous Chinese cabbage rolled with Jinhua ham in sweet pumpkin puree.

The pumpkin puree and ham worked in harmony with the fresh Chinese cabbage.

★☆★☆★☆★☆

Dinner ended with this pleasing almond dessert. It is different to the usual almond dessert with egg.

There are two layers, the bottom layer is steamed egg white and the top layer is the almond puree so you can taste both the egg and almond and the sweetness is just right.

I am not a fan of matcha but felt like trying the new matcha softserve by McDs.
Just like the teas, the softserve varies in price depending on the location.
Some places it costs $6 while other places it costs $7.
Anyway, I wanted to try the matcha wafer cone so went to this branch which costs $6.The taste was ok but the matcha was a bit artificial.

Went here because I love fish.
They serve fish maw which women love because of the collagen.
Started with the beef cubes which was juicy and tender.
The oyster rice pot came with big plump strong tasting oysters.
The noodle was my favourite because the fish gas bladder was big and generous however the fish maw wasn't soft enough.
I will probably come again because the fish broth they serve is rich and strong.

Every now and then, there will be some good desserts.

This time they had eclairs and donuts.

I got 5 mini eclairs for $12 which is quite good.

There is white and milk chocolate both filled with custard.

The chocolate one tasted good but the white one was too sugary for my liking.
