Aomori rice

Last time it was soba on the new menu and this time it is Snow Crab.
Snow crab tempura rice bowl:
I love rice and seafood so this was my favourite, the tempura was done nicely and there is some sea salt on the table especially for the tempura.
Adding some to the rice made it even more tasty.
It is impressive that they have used Aomori Rice for this dish and the sushi rolls.
Snow crab with salad and ramen:
If tempura is not your thing on a hot day, the ramen salad is more refreshing especially with the dressing that they give you which is appetizing.

Rice roll with salmon roe and snow crab:
The rice rolls were a surprise because of the crispy pork pieces on top which I thought were pork floss but they were aromatic fried pork crackling which gives it a lovely flavour as well as salmon roe.

Cheesy series: 2 out of 3 were good
2018-06-22  126 瀏覽
Went past and saw Maxim's new cheesy series so decided to get them all.

I had high expectations especially the cheese toast which looked delicious.

Cheese Potato Boat:
The Cheese Potato boat was quite good because there was silky potato in the middle.
Stretch Cheese Toast:
The Stretch Cheese Toast was disgusting and a waste of good cheese.
In the middle it was lovely gooey cheese but the whole thing including the bread and cheese was sweet.
Stretch Cheese Ball:
The cheese ball tasted ok but the texture was a little hard and dry.

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.

Coconut Kaya Bun at [Little Piggy]

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.
