Pancake Pie

While the  queue was never ending for Flipper's, I decided to try the new pancake pies!
There are two flavours:

Basically, it was souffle pancakes sandwiched between 2 puff pastry discs.


It was a fun experience because it was like eating marshmallow sandwiched between two puff pastry pieces without the sweetness.
Personally, I liked the originally while the Lemon one is sweeter and more fancy.

Egg Factory is famous for Japanese style eggs in various of styles but I decided to go there for the souffle pancake.
The cream that came with it was freshly whipped and paired well with the souffle pancakes.
Next time I will request it without the strawberry sauce because it tastes good just with cream and fresh strawberries.

McSorley's Ale House isn't new because it used to be located at the end of Elgin Road and now it is on Staunton Road.
They serve brilliant food there especially curries but unfortunately it was a hot day so I just couldn't hack anything heavy as I would have wanted.
They were really nice and gave us chilled water which was something I desperately needed in order to cool myself down for someone who doesn't sweat.

After having some water, my appetite came back so had the yummy cajun wings, which were crispy and tasty.
The celery sticks were a good balance and went nicely with the dip.
Also had the apple tart which was needed on a hot day.
Will be back for some more hearty food!

I know it is lame but after going to the Swedish National Day celebration. We all had made some floral head crowns which I thought would look nice with the flower background hence went here for a selfie and got a drink from here.
The Tea Queen I had was basically green tea just like the ones you get at sushi restaurants from the tea bag with a strong grassiness.

Came here randomly after trying some joints nearby.
Got the Coconut Kaya Bun because I love Kaya.

It was quite nice especially the Kaya paste and the shredded coconut on top.

The texture is the typical Hong Kong style bakery type.
I don't know whether it is the ingredients or the way they make it as all HK style bakery buns have that same taste and texture.

The thick cut luncheon meat buns looked damn good but again, the buns are probably sweet so didn't take the risk.

I was tempted to get the Kaya Apple loaf but it felt hard when I used the bread tongs.

Again, the typical Hong Kong bakery has egg brushed on top before they are baked.

They also had samples for people to try but I just couldn't as there was a pesky thing feasting on it so I don't know what other samples it had devoured on.

As well as tea, vegan drinks, dairy free, sugar free drinks...Flamingo Bloom now has Smoothie bowls!!!
Again, they pair their items with thought which makes it difficult for me to choose as both items seemed good, but luckily the pineapples were sold out so I tried the melon matcha smoothie bowl.

It was nice and refreshing to indulge on as everything is natrual.
I like the way the bananas are frozen and beneath the fruits is this yummy smoothie blended with matcha and banana.

On top, there is granola which is healthy!!!
This was for two people to share but I had it all to myself and there is a smaller version which is not served in the fruit !

Elephant Grounds has been around for a while and it was my first time trying them out.
I remember going to the branch on Gough Street for Ice Cream cookies but they were sold.
Anyway, they are now at Pacific Place!!
Tried two fruit teas which were really good especially the one with Passionfruit!!
The other one was blended with golden kiwis which gives it that lovely golden colour and it has pretty ruby pomegranite seeds at the bottom.
Will be back to try the Thai cinammon tea!
If the fruit teas are too fancy, there is a menu lurking at the counter which I didn't discover until I went to order.
