Tried the Christmas series at Breadtalk which were just the same items as sold in A1 Bakery, however they both had a Holly leaf stuck on which made it Christmassy.

The first item was a sweet baguette dusted with sugar and soaked with egg and baked, similar to bread pudding.
The other item was a chocolate bread roll filled with custard.

After trying the Quintuple cake by Arome bakery, decided to try the richer version by Cova.
It was rich and strong.
However it was slightly too hard and not as soft as Awfully chocolates version.

Chicken wings singled out!!
2011-12-25  128 瀏覽
Again a treat from the locals, there was a choice of Salt and Pepper chicken wings, Honey chicken wings and these chicken wings on single bones.

I chose these because they were on single bones which made it more convenient to eat.

Surprisingly they tasted quite nice, however there were some stringy bits on the batter.
Not sure whether they were part of the batter or feathers from the wings.

[Review 1392] Maxim's touching series - Nice packaging @ 美心西餅 Maxim's Cake Shop

Saw some interesting items at Maxim's which looked like packets of crisps, but when I went closer I found out they were cookies and puffs.
The rest of the range had tubes of cookies and other stuff.
The design was nice, mainly white with some colours on it.
On the back, I think it saids something about the designer or the designs.
Anyway, the puffs were not what I was expecting, they were baked puff pastry in butterfly form.
The brown sugar taste was strong, but I did not like the strong buttery smell which is typical of the Chinese bakery.
As well as that was passed a chocolate cake by someone.
It just tasted like the usual Maxim's cake.






[Review 1391] Delaney's carvery @ Delaney's Wanchai

As always you can always find your comfort roast right here!

Usually at the carvery there is beef or lamb and nearer Christmas there is Turkey as well.
However the stuffing is different to the stuffings served at other pubs.
The stuffing here is not baked.
For the greens, there is boiled spinach, pea and sprouts, and for the asian choice you will find shitaake mushrooms and sweetcorn.
Before the roast there is a choice of salad or soup. I usually get the salad but sometimes the soup is also good such as tomato and crab.
To finish off there is proper tea brewed with fresh leaves and not teabags.







[Review 1390] Quintuple chocolate layered cake experience @ 東海堂 Arome Bakery

Tried this because it was made of five different layers of chocolate, it costs $20 per slice and it is not that big.
Basically the five different layers were: the crunchy base, dark chocolate sponge, milk chocolate sponge, chocolate mousse and the chocolate cream covering it.
Overall, it tasted nice but I wished there was more cake instead, the dark truffle filling in the middle was extremely hard and too rich.




[Review 1389] Hokkaido milk froyo with reminiscence of Yoplait @ kiss n' joy

I have always wanted to try this place for the Strawberry yoghurt.
But twice I couldn’t find it because I went the wrong direction.

At the end of Hau Fook Road, I turned left where all the snack bars were located when I should have walked to the right hand side!

As there were four flavours, I did not know which flavour to get, so I asked to try the Strawberry because I wanted to get that anyway.
The staff must have read my mind because I wanted to try the hokkaido one as well and they gave me a sample of that too.

Samples
The décor of the shop was really nice, the colour theme was white and apple green.

The only disadvantage was the standing area was quite small, so it was easy to trip down the steps when it got packed.

In the end I decided to get the golden kiwi drink because golden kiwi is not always available.

As it was a cold day the drink was extremely thick. It tasted just right without the honey because the yogurt was sweet.
There was a strange feeling from drinking kiwi because kiwi seeds have enzymes on it, and after the blending process, the seeds got grounded releasing more enzymes.
It is very similar to biting into white grape seeds.

Next time I’ll be back for the froyo.
From the samples, the froyo was nice and thick, it was slightly lumpy.
The strawberry one tastes exactly like Yoplait’s strawberry fromage frais so I really liked it.

One of the toppings was interesting.
Parsley!
