When I saw this, the icing looked good just like the icing in UK so I decided to get it.
The icing turned out really good, so was the soft bun with a chew and the walnuts in it.
The only thing, I didn't like was the manuka honey filling, it was too sweet.
I think the bun would be better without the honey filling or without the icing, having the two is too sweet.

Cream slices forever
2017-04-29  1753 瀏覽
I am so glad that MS are still stocking these cream slices as well as the fresh cream eclairs.
These two are always my favourites as well as the classic trifle.
Basically it is cream and jam in between layers of puff pastry topped with a beautiful icing.
As always, they are difficult to eat, no matter where you take a bite, cream will come out.
Anyway, these cream slices are so evilicious because the fresh cream, flakey pastry and jam is sweet and delicious complemented by the icing.
This time I ate two in one go without tea so it got a bit sickly sweet.
But anyhow, I know I will crave for it soon.

After my first visit, I was craving for their curry again.I had the lamb sagwala which was consistently delicious, it had fenugreek as well as spinach which gives it more flavour and texture.In addition to naan, I decided to order some fluffy plain rice but the rice turned out to be Jasmine rice and not Basmati rice which really ruined it.
The rice was also clumpy and mushy.I asked about the rice and the guy replied it was "bakfaan" in Chinese which did not amuse me because obviously I went here for Indian food.

Obviously I got this new Matcha strawberry blossom Frappuccino because of the pretty pink cream on top.
You can't really taste the strawberry because the green tea taste is stronger and the vanilla syrup they use is quite strong.
It would be great if the strawberry cream was more refreshing or blended with real strawberries.

It is mainly Chinese restaurants in this area, so ROJO is the place to go for some Western food.
Went here after seeing some delicious food pics on openrice.
Started with the anchovies and tomato toast, I love the saltiness of the anchovy which goes well with the chopped tomatoes.

I always get the bikinis because of the melted cheese and fragrant truffle.
The bikini  here has ham in it as well giving it more flavour.

For mains, had the squid ink paella.
It was loaded with so much seafood from fish, mussels, squid which made the rice really tasty.

Finished with churros which were glistening with sugar and cinnamon.
Each churros was uniformly golden and crispy with a  lovely centre.

Finished with a refreshing fruit punch that I liked because I could taste natrual fruit juice in it,

Back for the beancurd omelette

Went back for the eggless beancurd omelette because I was really craving for it.

The taste was so much better this time because it was not so oily.

The middle part of the omelette was so creamy and runny just like a real omelette while the outer part of the omelette was not so soft with a nice crisp texture to it.

Also had the Sichuan chicken which I forgot I ordered before. It was rather salty because of the sauce and I didn't expect it to be fried.

I couldn't resist the dimsum so had some fried dumplings, steamed buns and avocado rice rolls.
The steamed buns with vegetarian charsiu were delicious and there is also a crispy version which I will order next time.

After trying tempeh, went back for more.
The tempeh pieces are bigger with the rice but tasteless and not sour.
I couldn't eat the pickles because they were too spicy.
However the duck dish turned out great because they sell so much duck a day, it is guaranteed fresh.
The gravy was rich and tasty with generous pieces of chestnuts.
