Shaved ice in Central
2017-11-02  287 瀏覽
I have always wanted to try this joint but the CWB location is a bit difficult as you there three sets of traffic lights.
Anyway, discovered this in Central so went there for dessert.
They basically serve shaved ice which is not flavoured hence they add sauces to it.
The texture of the shaved ice tastes just like snow fallen from the sky.
I ordered the avocado because it is not as sweet compared to the other flavours but the pairing with yoghurt syrup was strange.
It was good that the syrup was served separately because I didn't need it.
The avocado sauce was really good because it was made with fresh avocados and strangely it tasted nice with the ice, however it does get sickly towards the end.
It would be great if they served smaller bowls at the half the price because I would probably try more flavours.
Having one big bowl gets boring and by the time you get to the bottom it becomes slush.

[Review 6278] Dimsum as fast food @ 唐記包點 Tong Kee Bao Dim

Tong Kee Bao Dim is quite a good joint to pick up dimsums fast and easy.Decided to try two new items: vegetable bun and the ox stomach.
The vegetable bun was huge and thick that there was little space for the filling.
The taste was ok but there was more bun to filling which makes it tasteless.
The texture of the bun was soft and fluffy but it was a bit dry to swallow.

The radish and ox stomach was really really salty that I recommend getting some noodles and mixing them together or rinse it in hot water before eating.
It really baffles me how much sodium Hongkongers can take per day and stay alive!

Came across this bakery while I was randomly exploring MACAU.There were so many sweet and savoury items to choose from and it was affordable as well.
There was this interesting cheese and mochi bread!

The custard and salted egg yolk roll looked good as well.

But as it was tea time, I prefer having cakes so I had the green tea snow cake and the black forest cake.
Both were light and delicious filled with cream that was not too sweet.
The chocolate cake in the black forest was really good with a strong chocolate taste.
As for the matcha, the white fluffy cream on top was heavenly.

This is the second branch with its first in Quarry Bay.
They have the wraps, salads, hot dishes and desserts which are grab and go.


As a pandan lover,I had the pandan latte.

I was really excited because I have never had it in latte form before.


The colour of the latte was pastel mint green which reminds me of mint icecream in UK but strangely mint icecream is not popular in Hong Kong.
It was absolutely the best latte I have had because I just love Pandan.
The smell was good and the sweetness was just right as well as the temperature so I'll definitely come back for it.
I was pretty chuffed because it had a lovely foam cap on top.

My friend wanted a cake for Halloween so chose this one.
I was looking forward to it because I like black forest.
It turned out really disappointing because there was more cream than cake and it was that plastic fake cream.
There was about 20% cake so it was just cream and nothing else with a few pieces of jelly.
The cake was decorated with milk chocolate and some candy pebbles which you wouldn't want to eat anyway but the cake wasn't pricey so fair enough!

It was busy at LFK so decided to come for here a quiet night of pizza.
There were so many to choose from.
It turns out that every pizza was inspired by the Chefs friends.

Started with the pumpkin with white truffle salad.
The pumpkin slices were roasted with a fragrant truffle oil taste and they were sweet with a slight crisp texture to it.

The pizza I chose was MechEng because I loved this subject at Uni.
Uncle Wyman was favorable because it reminds me of this famous cantopop influencer.
The pizza was impressive as It had all my favourite punchy elements like anchovies, red onions and cajun chicken.
I liked the chicken they used because it was pure white meat.

The chicken lollipops were juicy.
It was paired with honey BBQ sauce which tasted like HP sauce mixed with black pepper and smokey BBQ sauce so it was very tasty.

I have been looking forward to this restaurant since I saw all these different prawn dishes.As well as prawns, they serve other Taiwanese fare as well.
Ordered the chili and lime prawns because the pairing of chili and lime never fail.
The taste was fiery with a tangy lime flavour which had a Thai twist to it.

Next were healthy kale cooked with garlic and wolfberries.
They pretty much taste like Chinese kale but with more leafy parts.

As a stinky tofu lover, I ordered the spicy stinky tofu with blood jelly,
This was delicious with rice.
 0 讚好

Also had the fried tofu which were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.
The texture was like marshmallow.


Finished with the drink which was impressive because there was real juice in it and it didn't taste artificial.
