Custard filled Green tea grilled mochi cakes

Went past and saw these green grilled cakes for $2.5 each and didnt know what they were so stopped by and took a look.

Basically they were similar to filled mochi but grilled like those chiu jau style tea cakes.

 

I was quite impressed they were not that greasy and they were still luke warm so I ate them imediately before they got cold.

Custard filled Green tea grilled mochi cakes:

 

The grilled mochi was still warm and the custard filling inside was really nice. There was a strong custard taste and it was not too sweet.

 

The mochi pastry was really nice and chewy and not not too burnt, the grilled parts were slightly crispy. The thickness of the pastry was just right to balance out the filling and you could taste the green tea in the chewy pastry as well.

Lemon and French Vanilla froyo @ Yoppi

Most froyos tastes the same these days and alot of new Froyo places are closing and opening fast.
I only try them these days if they have unique toppings or unique froyo flavours or a unique taste.

Anyway, Yoppi has stores internationally from Thailand to USA.

The froyo that I came for was the Lemon and because it was self service I chose French Vanilla as well.
For toppings, I just chose jelly, mochi and strawberries.
I tried the Lemon froyo first because if I had the sweet vanilla first then it would make the Lemon taste extremely sour.

The lemon was really nice and strong, it was citrusy and tasted nice as a froyo.
As for the French vanilla it was sweet as expected and it was nice with the chewy mochi and fruits complimenting it.

Old chengdu besides 老地坊 @ Landale Street

Found out about this new restaurant because there were so many hardcore reviews by fans who have just reviewed this place only and the menu was really interesting, there were so many things I have not heard of or tried.

 

When I visited this place it had just opened so only a few things were available.
Some of the portions were really small and there was a particular item I wanted to try but it was always not available. The item I wanted to try was the glutinous thing steamed on a leaf.

The dishes I have tried:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dan Dan Noodles

 

The portion was small but it only costed around $2X.
The sauce was mostly at the bottom and needed mixing.
The spicyness level were medium in my point of view.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Green soup

 

This soup looked interesting so I ordered it, it was chopped mustard greens in thick clear soup topped with a few wolfberies.
The taste was quite grassy and I loved the bitterness of the green.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Cold noodles with chicken, sichuan style

 

Again, this only costs around $2X so the bowl was quite small but it tasted quite nice and the sichuan peppercorns were intense. The chicken was slightly tough and dry.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Glutinous rice balls in fermented wine

 

 

Again the portion was really dinky but I loved it, the sweetness was just right and the dumplings were really soft.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Fried glutinous rice rods

 

 

 

This dessert was really interesting, it was fried bars of mochi and they were uniformly rectangular, it was crispy on the outside and chewy in the centre coated with lots of yellow bean powder and drizzle with golden syrup.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Anyway I hope on my next visit they will have the steamed glutinous snack!
