Guava season

Come Buy (Wan Chai)

I rarely get drinks from Come buy but when I saw the poster of the new Guava drinks I decided to give it a try.

There are two flavours: guava with yakult or guava with plum.

Guava drinks with yakult:

Nice logo

Requested it unsweetened because Yakult is already sweet.
The sweetness was just right but quite sweet.
Anyway the yakult taste was light and the guava taste was light too but you could feel the grounded guava pips in the drink.
The drink itself was slightly viscous.

Fusion dim sum @ 譚點 點心.甜品專門店

Reminds me of V cuisine which I am itching to go, but V Cuisine locations in Tsuen Wan and Kwun Tong are a bit of a trek.

My initial impressions of the place was the noise, it was so noisy with people talking and the nasty clinking of the cups and bowls.

Anyway, sat down, it was freezing, and the air conditioning was so strong it was giving me the chills, the worst thing was, the temperature outside was warmer.

Ordered the toasted tea, which was rather bland.
All the teas they used were teabags, although the teabags are prepared by themselves, for a big teapot like that, there should be at least two bags inside or more tealeaves per bag.

The menu had chinese and english, but the english was slightly wrong,

MENU description: "beancurd sheet rolls with tomato and egg soup"
from the description I was expecting beancurd sheet rolls in tomato and egg soup literally, not thick tomato and egg sauce, and there was no indication in the english it was fried.

MENU description: "pomegranite juice pudding"
it wasnt pomegranite flavouring, but guava.

Ordred the following items:

MENU description: Baked rice with preserved sausage and chicken + preserved pork
There was nothing interesting about this dish.

MENU description:Steam pork dumpling with caviar
Just tasted how it should.

MENU description:Steamed rice rolls with slice beef and thousand year egg
This was the best dish, beef with cut pieces of preserved egg wrapped in rice roll.

MENU description:beancurd sheet rolls with tomato and egg soup
This wasnt what I was expecting, the tomato and egg soup was actually thick sauce, which went well with the deep fried meat.
This was the dish I expected it to look like, with the soup being tomato and egg as stated on the menu.

MENU description: deep fried sticky meat dumpling
These were carrot shaped whey they arrived.

MENU description: deep fried pork dumpling and prawn dumpling
This was basically a porking dumpling and a prawn dumpling deep fried, however the prawn dumpling didnt taste as good as dragons descent.

MENU description: Garlic cheese bun
Tasted like garlic bread.

MENU description: Mini wasabi mustard burger
There was no "wasabi" taste.

MENU description: pomegranite juice pudding
Just tasted like fake cream with a hint of guava not pomegranite

MENU description: Steamed brown sugar cake
This was bitter and the self raising flour didnt serve its purpose, because the texture was clumped together.
