Hokkaido melon series
2018-08-30  37 瀏覽
I was captivated by the Hokkaido Melon cakes series.
One of the larger cakes actually looks like half a rock melon!!
I was deciding to get the dessert cup or the melon roll but ended up getting the cup because of the jelly at the bottom.
The taste was ok but the melon cake layer was a bit artificial so was the jelly.
Overall, not a bad dessert.

I was in the area so stopped by for a drink.
Taiwanese tea is getting boring these days because it all revolves around fruit tea, milk with brown sugar and bubble tea.
I fell for this one because it confused me, I suppose the confusion makes it successful as you are trying to guess whether it is trying to be Japanese or Taiwanese with the pearls.
From a distance, it looks Japanese, but when you go in, you will see the pearls being made there and it had the words Taiwanese pearls to distinguish that.
I am not fond of pearls but the ones here were different.
They had sesame pearls, cactus pearls, caramel pearls etc.
I got the latte with three different pearls which is actually tea according to the Chinese description.
Unfortunately, I didn't know it was tea until I tried it.
Overall, I didn't find the tea or the pearls exciting as the taste was just the usual Hong Kong style milk tea taste.

The staff were super unfriendly so I definitely won't be back.
When I gave her the receipt to collect the drink, she just snatched the paper off me.

As they are closing down, decided to pay them a last visit.
Unfortunately, I forgot to order the thick noodles as you don't often see thick noodles served that are made using the bamboo way.
The noodles were very slippery to pick with chopsticks and very hard to chew.
I liked the tiny wontons which won't fill you and somehow it didn't give me the wow factor again as all I could taste was strong sesame oil.
On another visit, I had the pomelo skin and bamboo pith soup which was brilliant but way overpriced.

Discovered Food Monster since I was dining at the Taiwanese restaurant on the same floor.
At Food Monster, they sell frozen foods which can be eaten there.
Behind the shop is a party room where you can book for events such as cooking, parties etc.

Got the mango and durian lollies which are said to be 100% fruit.
To my surprise, they were indeed 100% fruit on a stick.
The taste is basically the taste of fruit put on a stick and then frozen.
The durian had a really strong smell but the taste was not that strong or sweet since you are eating it frozen.

The mango was quite palatable as it was too sweet but the texture was quite woody so you are getting real mango here!

Haven't been to Sun Curry for ages! Since my last visit, they have changed the restaurant layout which is more inviting.
The menu has changed and now they have the tomato, egg and beef series with rice or ramen.
Their homemade ramen was interesting so I had the tomato, beef and egg soup ramen.

The bowl of ramen was piping hot when it came.
It was a very huge bowl!!!!
I loved the tomato and egg broth and the pieces of egg were chunky and yummy.
As for the beef, this was the star of the show as always, meaty yet delicate.

Finished with the mango juice and kumquat drink which were healthy and refreshing.

Beyond Burger at [The Americano]

I love the Beyond Burger so I am trying to try every place that is serving burgers with this patty.
The Americano is serving it for HKD88 which has onion rings, vegan cheese, tomato, avocado, lettuce and sauces in the filling.
It had more fillings compared to the one at Texas but both cost the same.

It was definitely nice with all that sauce and the crispy onions gave it a crispy texture and a sweet taste.
The beef salad was fancy with crispy garlic sprinkled on top.

For drinks, had the soda of the day which was damn good as it was not made with syrup but with strawberry puree that gives it a natural taste that was not too sweet.

Dessert ended with a delicious salted caramel cake that is worth ordering as it was layers of sponge cake and layers of sweet caramel.

I didn't have any expectations on this place but the pizzas looked good so went here.
The decor was quite nice with a rustic American feel to it with the ticket counter by the entrance.
I had the margherita pizza which was tomatoes and cheese.
It was somehow quite comforting because it was similar to supermarket pizzas in the UK.
The taste was to my liking and the tomato slices did not dry out when the pizza was baked and they were still juicy.
Also had the chicken wings which were plump and meaty but I felt that they needed more flavouring.

The drinks took me by surprise.
I ordered the HKD48 iced fruit tea thinking it was just the usual iced tea and it turned out to be a very big glass!The chocolate hazelnut hot and cold were both good.
Will be back for pizza!!!
