My second guacamole chicken muffin
2017-09-26  313 瀏覽
Even though my first guacamole chicken muffin experience was not good I decided to go to a different branch to see how it compared.
This branch was really good because the muffin looked picture perfect, almost as if it was for a food shoot.
There was lots of guacamole that was evenly spread over the patty.
Overall, the chicken muffin was really tasty because the guacamole made it nice and creamy but it was slight salty.
The only thing that it lacked was the mayonnaise, there was not enough to taste it.

Went here because I was invited to the UnionPay event.
After the event for was a mini buffet for guests.
The juicy asparagus was nutty and tender.
The chunks of beef were soft and meaty in rich gravy.
Dessert was good because they had cream puffs filled with fresh cream and raspberries.
It was simply delicious with bites of tart raspberry and fresh cream.

Champak by ATUM is located at this new mall called THE FOREST in MK.
The mall itself is inviting and very accessible with a good layout that won't waste your time causing  you to get lost and going round in circles.

Started with the Che ba mau with milk foam which is basically coconut milk with colourful bits at the bottom and to make it more sinful there was thick milk foam on top.
It was sweet and filling but the bits at the bottom were a bit powdery in texture but it was pretty and dreamy to drink.

As a potato fan, I got the Potato flowers with pineapple sambal sauce. basically they are crispy shaped swirls with soft fluffy potato mash in the middle complimented by a creamy pineapple sauce which looks different to the traditional red sambal sauce.

The Squid with cold noodles in lemon and yuzu sauce is what you find on social media because everyone orders it.
I had it because I love anything that is refreshing and zesty.
It was chilled noodles with ice cubes and lots of lemon slices so it was very refreshing for me but perhaps some people might find it too acidic.


Finished with dessert which was scoops of Thai milk tea icecream paired with my favourite cassava cake.
It was not too sweet and I liked the contrast of the cassava cake and the cold icecream.

I love Yunnan food (known as the DIAN cuisine) but there are not many places for it.There is one in Kowloon City but there are more options here like soup, strange insects and Chinese cheeses!!
Started off with a memorable glutinous rice tea which was really fragrant.
Unfortunately, they give you some pickles which are charged.

Here was the food I had:
+++++++++
As a carbs lover, I got the rice with peas and Chinese ham which was delicious because it was fluffy and tasty flavoured by the ham and sweet peas.

++++++++
The beef with lemon was an interesting combination so I decided to try it out and the taste was surprisingly good because the lemon made it appetizing.

Chinese cheese was a must for me but there were two types on the menu Rubing and Rushan.
I had to ask the staff which one was the savoury one because one is sweet and crispy served with rose!

The cheese tasted like halloumi cheese flavoured by the saltiness of the ham.
++++++++++
For dessert finished with their famous dumplings in rose essence!

A paradise for fish maw delicacies with noodles

Discovered this place while trying this new restaurant nearby.

They specialize in fish maw, sea cucumber and shark fin.
There are soups, appetizers and noodles which makes it a headache to choose because there are so many options that look good.
To my surprise, it is affordable because you can get fish maw noodles for $6x and they don't charge 10%.
As well as that, there is a set for $148 including soup which you can choose from the menu.

I decided to get a soup with everything because I couldn't decide which soup to get!~!!
It was really nourishing with a delicate sweet taste loaded with treasures.

The fish maw noodle was satisfying because you get lots of noodles which won't leave you hungry.
The piece of fish maw was huge covered in delicious gravy which complemented the noodles well.

Definitely coming back for the soba noodles which wasn't available as the pairing of soba noodles and shark fin sound interesting.

Found out about this new branch as I was in TST to collect some mooncakes.

Tsuta is Michelin-starred ramen from Tokyo with it's first branch in CWB.
The TST branch is conveniently opposite the traffic lights so you don't have to walk far from the MTR station.
I ordered the MISO SOBA because it is exclusive here and I like MISO anyway.

When it came, the broth was dark and strong that you could smell the miso ramen coming your way.
 0 讚好

The ramen they use is different to the one they use for the truffle and salt which I have previously tried in CWB,

Perhaps, I am biased but I liked this one because the miso was strong and the noodles hung the broth well.
You can see specks in the noodle too and they are slightly flat and broader than the one used for the truffle broth.

The sweetcorn and diced onions gave it extra depth while the broth had a really strong unami taste as there are porcini mushrooms in it.

Let your inner child out with this Unicorn set
2017-09-23  1265 瀏覽
I am obsessed with rainbows and pastel colours so this Pure Eternity Unicorn themed set is just for me.Its pretty, girly and dreamy.
The price is the same as the other sets which costs $298/person with 10% (Min 2 people).
If you register with the #orderlook website and order a gif picture of yourself with the Unicorn theme, your friend gets to eat free when you show the staff your GIF!

To start you get the Soothing Love tea which is chocolate tea served with a candyfloss cloud above it.
The candyfloss melts away like rain into the tea by the steam vapour.

In the savoury section you get:
Smoked salmon tart x 2
Lemongrass pork tart x 2
Spicy pork tart x 2
Cheese tart x 2
Cheese sausage roll x 1

In the sweet section you get:

I found myself munching the cookies which were buttery and crumbly.
On the savory section, the Latvian cheese was amazing because they were similar to FETA cheese sprinkled with herbs.
The sausage roll is filling and piping hot, yet the sausage meat is moist and well baked in the pastry complimented by the Ketchup.
The chocolates were also from Latvia and one of them is filled with liquor.
