20th Anniversary Afternoon Tea Set
2017-09-08  766 瀏覽
Tried the 20th Anniversary afternoon tea set and it felt like having the classics of chachaanteng food summarised into a tea set.
There was the classic French toast stuffed with cheese and salty beef.
The spring rolls also stole the show because they were stuffed with instant noodles with spicy pork cubes.
Other tasty classics included shrimp toast, fried chicken drumstick and the classic chicken pie!!
For the sweets, there was red bean pudding, horlicks chocolate tart and ovaltine cupcake.
The mini cupcakes totally transport you to the feeling of being in a chachaanteng because the shape of the cake is like those thick rimmed cups.
Anyway, I loved the savouries, especially the fried chicken which was perfectly fried and juicy in the middle.

I love the name of this place because it is like a touch of East meets the West.
Started with the coconut chocolate latte and beetroot latte.
The beetroot latte was amazing because it was complex, you could taste beetroot juice, then coffee them the sweetness of the caramel syrup.

The dandan noodles were as good as expected because it had a layer of silky foam on top and the strands of noodles are flat and white just like the ones you find in Vietnamese pho.
The broth had a nice Sichuan flavour to it.

My friend's vegetarian pasta was rather heavy because it had eggplant and cheese but it was balanced by the tangy tomatoes.

The first time I tried dumpling pro was in WC, then they opened another branch in Kowloon and now in SSP.
I was surprised they had some comfortable seats at the back.
The dandan noodles seem to be new so I ordered them.
I found them a bit too sweet and thick because it tasted like thick peanut butter and sweet sesame paste at the bottom.
The beef was tender but also quite sweet.

The pork knuckles were consistently good, they were soft and spicy topped with delicious black beans and Sichuan peppercorns.

Decided to get a bento as a cheap fix for dinner.
The bento had sashimi with rice and soba noodles so I got the best of the both worlds.
The soba sauce is rather salty so you don't have to dip too much.
The sashimi rice was ok but not that fresh but then the bento was only $4x so I don't expect too much for the quality.

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!!
