cronuts not ready yet
2017-08-02  159 瀏覽
found out about this new shop so decided to check it out.
there are two new items, the new royal tea flavoured donut and the new cronut series

unfortunately, the cronuts were not available yet so I tried the new tea donut.
the taste is quite good because the cream filling has a strong tea taste.
the only thing i disliked is the cream texture because it is too stiff and plastic!!

As well as the pastas, I was curious to see if their fish was good.
I know they are frozen fillets but the price was fair.
There is a choice of Spinach sauce or Lemon butter sauce with the fish accompanied with rice or spaghetti.
The spinach is surprisingly good because you can taste blended spinach in it while the lemon butter was a bit too buttery for my liking and the lemon wasn't strong enough however you do get a piece of lemon to go with it.
To be fair the fish fillets were not bad and haven't been in the freezer for too long as the texture was still moist but I liked it better without the sauces and adding plain salt and freshly squeezed lemon was just delicious.

[Review 6108] Sushi train express @ 十和田總本店 Towada Sushi

I really enjoyed dining here because you order from the device which has a summary of what you have ordered.
When you submit your order the train will move.
The sushi was fresh complimented nicely by the wasabi and soy sauce.
The two dishes that I really recommend are the octopus with Monkfish liver and Crab salad.
++++
octopus with Monkfish liver:
The octopus and monkfish liver was in this extremely refreshing vinaigrette with seaweed so it was very appetizing and the Monkfish liver was velvety.
++++
The crab paste salad had so much fresh  on top of the lettuce with fresh crab paste on top.
There was my favourite butter lettuce beneath it which was crisp and sweet.

+++++

Went back because the roast pork was so good on the last visit.
However I was really disappointed on this visit because the roast pork was hard and dry.
Also had the chicken liver which was hard and bitter so definitely wasted my quota coming here.

[Review 6106] Menu is slightly diff to Whampoa @ 早安越南 Chao Chao

I went here because I saw avocado milkshake but unfortunately this item and some others are only available at the Whampoa branch.
Anyway, decided to stay for the food anyway.
The beef with red rice was ok but the rice lacked tomato flavour and it was just fried rice.
The salted lemon drink was just the usual, ie a salty lemon plonked in water, so it was salty.


The Danang noodles with black glass vermicelli was my favourite and I am so glad I ordered it because the broth tastes a bit like Tomyum but much better because it has basil leaves which make it very fragrant and it does not have those annoying lemongrass leaves.

You can't miss this place because of the bright shop front and the girly interior.Finally tried it as I was in the area.
Tried the grilled set and a donburi.
They show you the set before it is grilled and then the guy takes it away and prepares it for you.
It had a lovely smell when it was done and the crab paste was the best because it was rich with a strong unami taste, best with rice.

My next favourite was the crab leg, again it was sweet and moist.

My friend had the scallop and razor clam.


Here was the donburi which was just photogenic.

The uni was the cutest I have seen but tinier compared to the product picture.
Even though they were tiny, the taste was amazing, they were creamy and complimented the rice nicely and the crabmeat, salmon roe and salmon were all fresh and wonderful.

Great noodles

Took some tourists here because they were fed up with local and Cantonese food.
The noodles impressed them the most because the noodles were fine with a good firmness to it and the broth was strong and it had a rich peanut taste.
It was quite spicy so I will probably ask for it to be less spicy next time.
The vegetable buns were soft and fluffy with deliciously chopped jade green vegetables and black fungus inside.
