Custard mooncakes from Macau
2017-09-08  94 瀏覽
My Brother went to Macau and got me these mooncakes as a souvenir.There are eight in a box.
According to the leaflet, this brand has been around since 2008.
The pastry on the outside is made of puff pastry so it is better to be reheated in an oven.
After it was reheated there was a fragrant eggy smell and the filling was crumbly and nice.

Tobasco at Hong Kong's McDonalds
2017-09-08  148 瀏覽
I thought it was a joke when my friend told me there was a Tobasco burger at McDonalds.
Went to my nearest McDonalds and it was true, not only was there a burger but there was softserve with spicy fudge sauce and shake shake fries with spicy seasoning Tabasco sauce.
Tabasco series: Onion ring angus, Softserve with spicy fudge sauce and fries with spicy seasoning.
I decided to try the Fries with spicy seasoning.
It was very spicy as expected but I liked it because it was punchy and the spiciness wasn't long lasting.
The only let down was that the fries were overdone, hard and dry otherwise it would have tasted much nicer.

The vegetarian cumin flavoured sushi is so delicious. You can literally smell the cumin and the texture is like mince.
It tastes like tex mex chili con carne and vegetarian version of lamb rice by Mr.Cumin so I was happy getting a box of the same flavour.
The quinoa and edamame is healthy but not as flavourful.
As well as sushi, I found burritos!!

[Review 6182] Snap up some crocodile soup @ 鍋居火鍋專門店

The broths and ingredients always surprise me at 鍋居火鍋專門店.
The first time I came here, we had the sweetest young coconut water broth, on the second visit I had some really good crispy chicken wings.
On this third visit, I tried the crocodile maca broth which has crocodile meat, sea coconuts in it as well as nourishing MACA mushrooms.

As I like trying new things, I tried the crocodile meat which is like tough chewy chicken but nice.
For seafood, we had Scottish razor clams and huge clams which I thought were going to be chewy.
It is really good that their staff did the clams for us because they were perfectly springy and sweet and they know how long it should take.



Good beef and meatballs are a must with any hotpots which are all available here!!

Last but not least, I loved the Kuruma prawn sashimi.
The prawn meat was sweet and succulent that it didn't need the soy sauce or wasabi.

Other delicious broth bases if you are not as adventurous as me!!
++Golden Canadian crab broth++:
Very appetizing and sweet because of the pumpkin, tomatoes and fresh clams.
++Forever young hotpot++:
Loaded with lots of anti aging and anti oxidant fungas, while the other ingredients help to nourish your brain and lower blood sugars!!

Went here specifically for the cheese and mash because I love cheese and potatoes.
Decided to get a takeout because it stank of fish in the shop and there was noting else I wanted so there was no point dining there and getting charged 10%.
It looked quite different to the picture, it was basically mash in a foil dish and not a ball of mash.
The taste was good but I wish it was cheesier and it was a little bit sweet because of the salad cream.

Tried both branches and I don't like this branch because the cutlery isn't that clean and service was not as good.
Ordered the tempura eel which was fried perfectly but the eel had too many hard prickly bones.
The staff didn't tell me about the salts until I asked.

Other than that, the taste was ok, it tasted like battered fish with lots of bones and the salt enhanced the taste.

Went here for a light dinner so chose pasta instead of meat.
The appetizers are good so had two.
The salmon tartare was dressed in tangy yoghurt topped with a poached egg which made it rich and creamy when blended in, perfect with the baguette slices.
The other was seared tuna which came with salad and it was dressed in refreshing sauce and diced cucumbers.
The pasta tossed in ink sauce was really fragrant and the clams were really fresh and sweet.
