Heavy dessert afternoon @ BerryGood

I had a photo shoot in Kwai Hing, so I thought I’d try Best Berry after trying Berrygood last time.
Before going, I had an expectation the yoghurt would be similar to BerryGood.

When I got there, the choice of toppings was less than Berry good, but there were more cake and some lunch sets.
In busy Kwai Hing, this café on the isolated corner of the mall is a good place to chat or sit for a while.
However the tables are not big enough, a lot of people were combining tables to make the table space bigger for all the desserts and cakes.

We ordered 3 sets:
Set 1: cheesecake and coffee.
Set 2: Original yoghurt cake, Yoghurt with blueberry sauce, and Yoghurt shake (berry flavour)
Set 3: Strawberry yoghurt cake, Yoghurt with a choice of three toppings, and coffee.

The cheesecake is just an ordinary cheesecake, but the original yoghurt cake was good, a big piece square cake, a thin layer of yoghurt cream on top of the cake, if there was more yoghurt cream in proportion to cake it would taste better, as the cake was too sweet.
As for the strawberry yoghurt cake, it tasted ok, enough yoghurt in proportion to the cake, but the size was smaller compared to the original one. The yoghurt is slightly too sweet.

The drinks were a bit sweet, and I think the set was a bit too heavy, too sickly.
Overall I think I prefer Berry Good, a much lighter option.

Helping the society @ 甜蜜蜜新生咖啡店

Teresa New Life Coffee Shop is a coffee shop in rememberance of Teresa Tang, and also helping people with problems to fit in society.

Anyway, came for tea, so ordered the chocolate cake and coffee, while we sat down, the shop was continually filled with people coming and going. Alot of the people were willing to sit with others just like the Chinese cafes.

There were quite a range of cakes and little snacks such as tofu cheesecake, wester soup, chicken wings and more

Cheesecake @ 磨菇麵包店 Mushroom Bakery

Maybe another good bakery in Sai Kung? Anyway I am not that sure on that, I never bought from there before because the shop was small, also their bakery looked a bit burnt, and not much air conditioning in there.

I was surprised the cheesecake was from there, maybe their cakes fare better.

The cheesecake was light, and as you can see from the picture, the ratio of cake and cheese is 60:40.

Lemon cheesecake @ Pret a manger

Got the lemon cheesecake here because the texture fo the cheese was as light as mousse.

I would have preferred it, if it was more tangy.

As a cheesecake, it tastes as good as the Lemon cheesecake from UK's Marks and spencer, but the taste isnt so strong.
If it could taste more tangy, I would be back for more.
Overall it was very mousse like and the cheese taste wasnt strong. I would have liked a ginger biscuit base too.

Whilst unpacking the cheesecake, there was labelling stuck on the cheesecake box, which I usually rip of with brut force, but somehow I peeled it off gently and found a "cute" note about their "nasty" packaging.

 

SORRY please excuse the "nasty"..

 

Desserts buffet at $98 per person @ Kaneda

I have been wanting to go to Ant One’s for the dessert buffet, but it is only available in the evenings, however when I walked past Kaneda, I saw the dessert buffet for only $98 per person including bottomless drinks.

There are a total of 22 desserts to choose from which is about the same as Ant One, however Ant One offers Chinese desserts as well. Although Kaneda doesn’t have Chinese desserts such as fried sweet dumplings, it was not a loss to me since I do not like Chinese desserts. The items that I wanted to try at Ant One were also available at Kaneda.

The desserts available were:

1) Chocolate cake with molten chocolate filling 2) Baked walnut cake 3) Italian cheese cake 4) Mango puff pastry 5) Green tea and red bean mousse 6) Strawberry pancake with custard cream 7) Ice-cream skewer 8) Serradura pudding 9) Creme brulee 10) Honey milk pudding 11) Apple crumble 12) Mango souffle 13) Mango pudding 14) Fruit profiteroles 15) Banana pancake with custard 16) Baked egg white with almond 17) Almond sorbet 18) Assorted cakes of the day 19) Chocolate milk pudding
20) Various ice-creams 21) Mango pancake with custard 22) Strawberry yoghurt mousse
23) Blueberry cheesecake nice sour berries 24) Mango cheesecake 25) Mango cake

1) Chocolate cake with molten chocolate filling
This was piping hot and the size of the ice-cream scoop and chocolate cake was super mini, it was slightly smaller than a tablespoon.

Super cute mini chocolate filled cake

 

 

2) Baked walnut cake
This was not too sweet, nice and chewy, it was made of 90% walnuts and sweet syrup.

The desserts were served in tiny cups and dishes, there was a fresh plastic spoon every time, which not that environmentally friendly.

There were metal cutleries too, but the spoon couldn’t fit in the tiny dessert cups.

Improvements:
It would be good if there was a side plate to rest my used cutlery rather than directly on the table.
