Sugar free Grosvenor Momordica fruit drink

Got this drink from Hung Fook Tong because it claims to be sugar free like many other "so called" health drinks.

It was truly sugar-free, the taste was pleasant with some bitter taste, but there was natural sweetness in it.

Next time I will try the other healthdrinks.

Grosvenor Momordica Fruit tea with Lingzhi

Tried this drink because it had Lingzhi extracts, however I doubt there would be significant amounts to give immediate health effects.

 

Initially I was going to get a drink from Original Taste workshop next door, however the bottled drink size was 1000ml which was too big and the smaller size was served in a paper cup.

The drink was filled right to the brim.

filled right to the brim

 

Anyway, it just tasted like normal sweet Grosvenor Momordica with some slight bitterness, however the taste of Lingzhi extracts were weak.

Dessert mania of choices and choices

I have always wanted to try this place for the puddings, as well as puddings they also have noodles.
I am impressed because each of these puddings are individually packed and labelled, extremely hygienic and convenient for takeaway.

Most of the places I have seen before are old style and serve these puddings in uncovered metal trays or ceramic bowls.
At least the puddings here are kept in a display cabinet away from flies possibly with refrigeration too.

 

 

The ones I have seen in the past are quite scary, the puddings are kept in the open, and when people buy them, they are then cut from the batch and put in plastic bags.
Some puddings are served in capsules the same ones for capsule toys.

They have more than thirty choices of sweet and savoury puddings.

 

The sweet choices are: Almond pudding, green bean pudding, Wolfberry and longan pudding, Sago and taro pudding, ginger and sweet potato pudding, Momordica pudding, red bean pudding, coconut and milk pudding, sesame pudding, black eye pea pudding, osthmanthus pudding, split pea pudding, taro pudding, snow fungas and red dates pudding, water chestnut pudding, pumpkin and cream pudding, sticky sago pudding, and red bean bowl pudding.

Savory: Vegetable dumplings, White radish cake, wrapped rice dumplings.

The size of these puddings are quite small and cost $4 each, so you can try different flavours subject to availability.
I wanted to try the pumpkin and cream pudding and the ginger and sweet potato but they were sold out, so in the end I got the black eyed bean pudding and the Grosvenor momordica pudding.

Black eyed bean pudding:
I thought this was going to be savoury, but it turned out sweet.
There was generous black eyed beans in it but they were slightly too hard.

Grosvenor momordica pudding:
This reminded me of the cane sugar pudding in Central, the grosvenor momordica taste was faint.

Not only for beef lovers only

I am not a fan of beef or beef noodles but this place offers noodles with prawns, so for people who do not eat beef, they can order this dish.

I have not tried Taiwanese style prawn noodles before, so I was not sure what to expect.

When it came, the broth was red, and the noodles were topped with lemongrass, prawns and tomato and there was a layer of oil on top.

 

I am not sure if they have this in Taiwan, but it reminds me of Tom Yum Kung which is Thai.

The noodles were yellow and thinner than the ones served in the beef noodles, they were not soft enough, so I left it for a while to absorb the soup.

 

The soup was not as spicy as it looked and it was strong in lemongrass and prawn taste.

The tomatoes were nice and soft, the skin came off easily and it was nicely flavoured by the broth.

 

The noodles came with a choice of soybean milk or grosvenor momordica with honey drink.

I chose the grosvenor momordica drink which was slightly too sweet, but as there was water given I diluted the drink with it.
