I was still hungry so decided to get something and ended up getting these pancakes with fillings.
They felt really soft inside the packaging which made them convincing to buy.
I expected the custard to taste better but it was horrible because the taste was too sugary.
However the chocolate one turned out to be delicious since it was not as sweet and the chocolate flavour was strong.

[Review 6114] Hongkongers flipping over Flipper's @ FLIPPER'S

Souffle pancakes are trending in Hong Kong, but my first souffle pancake was at K11 but unfortunately I was given an extra strand of hair and the taste was too buttery for my liking.There is another popular one in MK called I love you Dessert Bar but the location is inconvenient, as well as that, there is a latecomer am.pm which does affordable souffle pancakes.

Anyway, decided to try FLIPPER's because it is on the HK side and celebrities go there.

Went early because I didn't want to queue and it wasn't busy as expected.
Compared to all the other places, this one is the priciest but you get decent cream.
Decided to get the melon because I like melon and it does not have syrup like the strawberry and banana versions.

It turned out to be really good because there was no buttery taste and it was light and fluffy, whereas other places, the texture is just like foam and it disappears into nothing.
The best part is the cream because it is thick creamy cream and the melon was super sweet as well.
I was reminded by the staff not to use a knife to cut the souffle pancake as it ruins it.

I love cherries so got the cherry cake slice and cherry pudding.
The cake was really good because there was tart cherry puree in the middle and nice cream.

The cherry pudding was too sweet for my liking and the cream for this was a bit artificial.

I love Indian food but not many places on the HK side offers vegetarian food.At Haveli they have my favourite Idi and Vada so I got the platter which has both of them and the dosa.
The Idi and Vada was as good as anticipated because I like starchy tastes.

My next favourite was the Tandoori mushrooms which had strong flavours and they used quality button mushrooms which were juicy.

For mains I had the paneer bhurji and lemon rice.
Both were satisfying because I just love bhurji.

If I remember correctly they used to have a shop at the basement of Metro City but the cakes are so much more trendy and prettier now.

There is a huge selection of Belgian icecreams and chocolate truffles.




Anyway, I decided to get the mint chocolate icecream.

It was loaded with chocolate pieces and the mint was very comforting because it tastes like the icecream you get in UK.

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!!

Back for the fish

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.
