Beer jelly for your beer belly!

I got this dessert because it looked like a glass of beer with foam on top.




★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beer jelly:

Surprisingly, it actually had beer in it so they should warn people that it contains alcohol or 18+.
The foam layer on the top which I thought was going to taste sweet was not sweet!
It was whipped egg white and gelatin with a strong beer taste!!

Then beneath that layer was a beer jelly which had a strong beer taste with a hint of sweetness.

After a while, you can feel yourself getting a bit tipsy!

Earl grey tea jelly

After dining at Rosie Jeans's Cafe with <<IVY>>, went past Filter's Lane.

Initially I was not going to go in and have a look because I don't drink coffee but went in anyway since I was already on Caine Road.

Discovered that they serve Whittard tea as well and they also sell teaware.


Surprisingly, they had Earl grey jelly so I had that.

Earl grey jelly:

The tea jelly was great, the texture was just like normal jelly that you get in the UK.
It had a fragrant earl grey taste and it had a hint of sweetness which was great and did not ruin it.
On top of the jelly was delicious cream, mango puree and lemon peel.
I did not like the mango because I don't eat mango.

More and more choices for desserts at CEO buffet

For the charged snacks they used to provide, it used snacks sealed with a CEO lid but now they have Calbee crisps.
For the dessert section, there are now more choices, mini Portuguese tarts, carrot cake, bread and butter pudding and macarons.
The macarons were nice and they were quite big as well, it was chewy and it was filled chocolate, which was not too sweet.
The carrot cake was slightly hard and tasteless.
They had wine jelly as well which was good, but it was too sweet.

Ku Cool Durianlicious grass jelly drink @ 小甜谷

Although the main branch is in Tai Hang, I have never tried it before, but when I walked past this branch and looked at the menu they had various durian drinks, which seemed nice, so decided to try that.
There were other items I wanted to try such as the milk pudding but this is only available at the Tai Hang branch.

I did not know SiuTimGuk [Xiao Tian Gu] was opened by Jo but that explains why there is a GUK in the name and so many celebrity photos on the wall.

Durian drink with grass jelly:
When it came, almost half the cup was filled with grass jelly, which was rather generous.
I was really surprised it tasted nice and not too sweet, it was lovely and creamy and not icy.
They put real durian and not flavouring however I think they chose a durian that did not have strong flavours incase some people were not keen on Durian.
As well as grass jelly they also had some sago in the drink too.
All in all, it tasted like a lovely thick milkshake without the ice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chocolate pudding:
Again another surprise! The jelly was the reason why I got the pudding because the jelly was glistening like gold, but I could not taste any alcohol as mentioned in the other reviews.
Although there was no alcohol taste, the chocolate taste was really nice and chocolately because there was a good balance and cocoa and milk. There are some chocolate puddings that just taste of strong cocoa or just milky but this one tasted like melted Galaxy chocolate mixed with Gelatin.
When I put the spoon in it, I was surprised the dessert was quite firm to the extent that it came off the bowl cleanly.
The texture could be described as curded plastic or those steamed chinese puddings such as bootjaigo but with a really firm texture.
The orange jelly on top was even firmer than the pudding, which was quite appropriate, because it made chocolate pudding not so firm in comparison.
As well as jelly the pudding was topped with orange rind and crushed cashew nuts which also complemented the pudding nicely.

Wine Jelly and milk cubes @ Tak Fat Restaurant

Apart from Sham Shui Po, they have another restaurant in Kennedy Town, however the star Chef seems to cook at this branch.

This restaurant was on my wish list but since I did not know the restaurant name I could not locate it, I came here for the desserts only, but after sitting down and checking out the menu I am tempted to come here later for the Chinese dishes.
When I opened the door I was greeted by the a smiling guy in a Chef's coat, after sitting down and seeing the newspapers I realised he was the head chef.

Anyway ordered the Coconut milk cubes and the Red wine Jelly.

I wanted to order the beer jelly but it was sold out so tried the wine jelly.
As well as the beer jelly there were other items that I wanted to try such as the souffle so I guess I will have to leave it for my next visit.
Since it was the afternoon session, it came with a drink.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Coconut milk cubes:
These were cubes of smooth milk pudding coated in dessicated coconut.
The taste was really milky and not too sweet with the occaisional touch of coconut.
I would have like a lighter mousse texture.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Red wine jelly:
The red wine taste was extremely strong and the jelly texture was really light that it was almost not jelly form and it was more like gel.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Lemon tea:
The tea they used was very bitter.
