I think this is the best Frappe from Starbucks because I love Earl Grey and the jelly at the bottom is divine.
The Earl Grey balances the grassiness of the green tea and the cream on top had a lovely vanilla taste.

Discovered this place after dining at this Indian place in the same building.
The salad was light and healthy with my favourite spinach leaves and cheese.
The vegetable soup was packed with vegetables and quite sweet in taste.

The roast chicken was a bit different to what I had in mind but it tasted ok but a bit stiff with super milky risotto beneath it.

Finished with the tiramisu which was light and pleasing.

I just love eclairs filled with fresh cream but this one has been jazzed up with orange and chocolate.
It was a little bit sweet but I loved the tartness of the orange in the orange infused cream.
If only the icing was dark chocolate and orange instead of white chocolate, I would have liked it more.

The best thing about this place is that all the dishes have been designed by a nutritionist and on the menu it clearly lists out the calories and carbs information so gym and body building fanatics can eat with a peace in mind.
Tried the bolognaise with brown rice and onsen egg, the taste was fantastic.
The Roasted Chicken Salad with Lemon Garlic (added hard boiled egg + avocado) is a good source of proteins.

For drinks I had the Berry Happy which was a cooling smoothie that was not too sweet with a good balance of banana and berries.

My friend had the Baked Eggplant Salad with Sweet Miso which was a colourful vegetarian dish!

Discovered Full of Congee because I was in the TKW area so tried it.
The food was delicious so decided to again at this new branch in Whampoa because it is close to the MTR.
Tried the rice rolls and noodles.
The noodles are different to the ones you get in other joints because there is a strong garlic taste with crisp garlic pieces in it.
The riceroll at this joint was not as good as the one in TKW because it was too soft but it was good they separated the soy sauce for me so that it didn't go softer.
Again, it depends if you like garlic because the their soy sauce has a strong garlic taste while the chili sauce they have is really appetizing because it is spicy with a tinge of sour aftertaste.

It was raining heavily that day so I was stuck at Landmark, somehow I ended up at The Galleria through one of the connecting skyways.
As I was hungry I had a croissant to begin with which was freshly baked because the smell brought me here.
It was light and flakey with a balanced butter taste.
For cakes, I had the carrot cake which is a British favourite.
It looked like a Muffin but they reassured me that it was a cake and you can see pieces of carrots in it.
The texture and taste was perfect because it was not as dense like a carrot cake with fragrant Cinnamon,

For drinks, I am so glad they recommended the Masala Chai because I don't normally like it because the cloves are too overwhelming but this one was just heavenly with a fluffy foam cap.
While I was there, I saw some Indians order it so it was be good.

Decided to try this joint as it was recommended by some Taiwanese friends.
When I got there it was a slight culture shock as the staff there spoke Taiwanese.
Started with the beef noodles which were my favourite because it was generously topped with my favourite pickled vegetables and the broth was strong.
The vegetables were tender drizzled with sauce imported from Taiwan topped with mince and garlic puree.
They also had Taiwanese drinks so tried the Apple Sidra which is a bit like fizzy apple juice.
The tofu tasted like springy fishballs and beneath it was delicious Chinese cabbage cooked with dried shrimps.
The Taiwanese sausages were interesting because this is not something that I always come across.
The texture is the slighter softer than a Chinese preserved sausage but harder than a British pork sausage while the taste is quite sweet.
My friend had the noodles with chicken.
Again flawless.

Finished with the watermelon tea which was a little sweet for my liking.
