As a fan of pandan I have been eyeing this Lime Mousse Pandan cake for a while but the combination was a bit odd just like the Mint Green Tea chocolate bread I had before.
The cake seemed like it had been in the cabinet for a while as the exterior of the cake was very elastic and dry.
The lime flavour was very artificial and overpowered the tiny piece of pandan cake in the middle!
Definitely not worth recommending but Crostini is a nice place to chill out and suited for people who just want to find somewhere to meet clients with no expectations.

[Review 7214] Wrong timing @ 魚米 Yu Mai Noodles Restaurant

Wrong timing
2019-02-12 200 瀏覽
Went here for lunch and really regretted it.
For lunch, everything is fixed.
The reason I was not satisfied is that the meats were all dehydrated and not edible hence the reason I don't bother eating meat in Hong Kong.
Quite a waste of money paying for inedible food.
The pork chop was dehydrated with a dry woody texture as well as salty.
The noodles were ok, but just the noodles and broth were palatable.
The broth had pickled vegetables which made it quite appetizing.
The only thing that saved the meal were the drinks.

At a distance I thought this was a Taiwanese bubble tea joint because of the Wolf but it turns out to be a coffee shop and there is another branch in homantin.
As I was having afternoon tea nearby I only ordered a Jasmine tea.
The Jasmine tea was floral and fragrant, a good choice before having some food.
This place is a great place to chill out for a while in the East End of TS

KFC spotted in TKL with Self Serve kiosks
2019-02-11 64 瀏覽
I am so glad there is a KFC in TKL and the best thing is that there is a self service kiosk because the one at Wongtaisin and Hanghau does not have these kiosks so you have to queue at the medieval queue.
Not really a fan of the KFC in Hong Kong as they are standardized to Hongkie style ie CRUNCHY chicken.
Ended up getting the salted egg chicken wings which were crispy covered in rich salted egg yolk with a slight spiciness to it.
The mashed potato was also damn localised as it had black pepper in it.
My last hope was the chicken a la king which is also hongkie style with black pepper in it.

Tapas at boring Hang Hau

Say goodbye to HoYuen Express and Hello to What The Food which serves young and modern Tapas in the boring town of Hanghau.

The grilled cheese caught my eye as I love real grilled cheeses which might be a bit too funky for the area.
Anyway, at this point the Chinese confused me because it says there is chicken or tuna which was not my pure grilled cheese although they were able to do just a plain grilled cheese for it.
As they specialize in tapas I decided to try the croquettes.
The desserts looked delicious as well because they are churros rolled into a circular spiral to sandwich icecream in between.
They even had Pintxos, Tapas, Spanish tortillas etc but as I was having food afterwards I went for the croquettes.
Again the Chinese confused me here as croquettes are normally mashed potato with fish/bacon or whatever but the Chinese was Spanish Fried Milk.
Anyway, there were four different flavours: Sweetcorn. Beetroot, Mushroom and Spinach.
Got the sampler which had all four.
They were very hot so had to wait for it to cool down first.
Decided to try them in the following order because wanted to start with the lighter tasting ones first.
Sweetcorn - Mushroom - Spinach - Beetroot.
The sweetcorn turned to be a bit boring, perhaps it would be tasty with pieces of bacon in it.
But the other three were damn delicious, I can't decide which one was my favourite because they were all good especially the spinach. the beetroot was the strongest in taste as well as the mushroom.
Finished with the churros which were quite nice.
Next time I will try the bikini and the churros icecream sandwich which has a modern touch with Meringue and Okinawa Salt icecream etc.

Chicken that had gone off

I guess it is normal these days to get served meat that has gone off and it makes me wonder what is wrong with HKers tastes buds.
Anyway we ordered a bowl feast from here and according to the shop it must be reheated before eating.
The chicken was heated separately as it has a lot of oil from the chicken skin.
We heated the chicken by putting it on a separate dish into the microwave for a few minutes.
When I took it out there was a s m e l l y feet o d o u r which I didn't question as I thought I was over sensitive but it turned out to bad as others could smell it too which meant it was definitely off.
Had we had not reheated the chicken separately the whole bowl of food would have stunk like c r a p.
We were not the only ones to order this so we asked if the other family if their bowl feast was ok and they said it had gone off too.
In addition, all bowls that day were served with Vegetarian duck as they ran out of duck which was announced on their FB.
Four Seasons were able to replace the food but about 2 hours later when most of us had left and it caused some inconvenience to some people as they had to drive back and deal with it.

Went here to celebrate a friends birthday!!I didn't know it was Sichuan fare but it turned out to be great.
Be sure to get the early as they have a wardrobe where you can dress up in Chinese Dynasty clothing!
Dishes were great too especially the Kungpao prawns which were huge and crispy in a tangy sauce.The fish topped with crispy bean bits was comforting as the fish was tasty and similar to the fish and chip quality.
Finished with the stir fried glass vermicelli which was loaded with egg.
WE SHARED THE BILL AS IT WAS A FRIENDS BIRTHDAY.
DECIDED NOT TO POST PICTURES AS THERE HAS BEEN TASTINGS HERE WHICH WE DID NOT ATTEND BUT [OR] KEEPS SUSPECTING THAT THIS WAS WHEN IT WASNT!!
