My picks at Wine and Dine 2018

Wine and Dine is bigger and better this year that it now has different sections.
Hotel Delicious, Feedme Lane, Coffee Fiesta etc.

I was impressed with the creativity and variety this year.

First stop was salted egg chicken drumsticks with a Singaporean twist coated with oats from City Garden Hotel Hong Kong 城市花園酒店.


Second stop Appendix Coffee & Bar, the N2 Earl Grey really hit the spot as I was hot and bothered.
Lightly sweetened Earl Grey with a silky foam cap and last but not least was the Taiwanese messy bun inspired coffee.



In the bakery section, my fave bakery Say Hey Bakery 四喜麵包西餅was there with a unique beetroot quiche, La Mer Restaurant & Loungehad this interesting salted egg duck tart and Fast Gourmet had exclusive alcoholic lava croissants like pina colada.



For filling dishes Westwood Carvery had prime rib sandwiches and uni pasta.

The Drunken Pot 酒鍋 was also here, no hotpots there but they had cute skewers.
I had the spicy trio which had all my favourites: ducks blood, fish maw and stinky tofu.

Last but not least, I love Indian food so had the Kathi veggie roll from Gaylord.


Make sure you don't miss the drones display.

Maria's Bakery Earl Grey Tea custard egg tart

I don’t really eat Chinese egg tarts but tried this one because of the earl grey filling.








There was not much filling but when I got to the Earl Grey bit, the egg tart was much more palatable but the Earl Grey could have been stronger because the butter crust was too buttery and overpowered the Earl Grey.


I would have liked it if the egg custard and Earl grey were mixed together so that the Earl grey taste would be more balanced.

As well as eggtarts, they also have Earl Grey eggettes.

Limited Edition: Godiva Earl Grey chocolate chip icecream

A few months ago saw the Earl Grey chocolate chip icecream on Godiva’s menu but the price was covered because it wasn’t available yet and Godiva HK didn’t know when it would be launched because I contacted their HQ in April 2015.

Happened to see this flavour available when I walked past in July so I bought one.


The Earl Grey chocolate chip flavour was the best compared to the other tub flavours that I have tried in the Godiva range because it was not that sweet.



There was a natural Earl Grey flavour and the chocolate icecream was not that overwhelming with delicious pieces of heart shaped chocolate chips found in all Godiva’s tub icecreams......

Saint Honore’s new Earl Grey Swiss Roll

The fancy Swiss rolls at Saint Honore are really nice.

So far, there has been:
Green tea with mango (don’t like mango)
Fruit roll (haven’t tried)
Okinawan brown sugar roll (really good)
Earl Grey tea

My favourites so far are the Okinawan brown sugar and the new Earl Grey.

The Earl Grey roll is filled with Australian milk mousse, Earl Grey jelly and mochi.

 I really liked it because every part of the roll was delicious from the fragrant but not too sweet roll that had a natrual Earl Grey taste to the lovely Earl Grey jelly and mousse in the middle.
The mochi element was a bit weird though because the texture was sticky and sweet.

Marks & Spencer's Earl Grey cuppa

Starbucks and Pacific Coffee were full so came here for tea.

There was a good choice and it was only $20 per cup.

Since I have already bought their Jasmine teabags I decided to get the Earl Grey.

Earl Grey tea:
It was really good that they put the cup in an extra cup so that you won't burn your fingers.

The teabag contains good quality leaves which you can see.

The tea had an earthy earl grey taste and it was not as flowery as I would have liked.
The bergamot was not strong enough so next time I will stick with the Jasmine.

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.

Maxim's mini chiffon series

Maxim's Cake Shop (Central)

Saw the poster for these new Mini Chiffon series which looked cute.

There are three flavours: chocolate, pandan and vanilla seed.
The pandan and chocolate are not new except for the vanilla seed.

They had Jasmine flavoured floral pudding which reminded me of the pudding I had at The Dining Room.

Mini chocolate chiffon:

The chocolate chiffon just tasted like the usual soft chocolate cakes sold at Maxims, it was not great but tasted better than the Vanilla seed chiffon.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mini vanilla seed chiffon:

The taste was disappointing, you could not taste any vanilla or any vanilla seeds in it at all.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Both these cakes were nicely presented but in terms of taste there was nothing special about it.

The cookies were presented in a lovely box with a ribbon handle, that could also be tied into a pretty bow. Inside the box, each cookie was individually packaged. Once the wrapper was open you could smell strong earl grey and the taste of the earl grey in the cookies were really strong. The sweetness was just right and there were lots of earl grey tea leaves in the cookie. The butter in the cookies was just right and not too strong.
