Good sense of humour

Thanks to a friend for getting me these chocolates.

It had a bright safari theme packaging and I liked the way they were called ANIMAL DROPPINGS with a cute zebra proudly holding them too!

 
The packaging and wording is exactly the same as BEYERS Chocolates but they are called African animal droppings with a giraffe and not a zebra.

Basically they were chocolate coated almonds which had a creamy Tiramisu taste and a slight sugary texture.

Cute desserts in a collectible Disney container

Maxim's have launched some new desserts which come in a cute collectible Disney container.

Donald duck and Mickey mouse:

The great thing is that the dessert is in a separate cup so you don't have to wash the container.

Mickey mouse:





Basically it had a layer of banana pudding on the bottom with rich chocolate mousse on top.

The taste was quite nice with a hint of banana which was creamy with rich chocolate mousse on top.

Donald duck:

I liked it how the colours of blue and orange complement and contrast each other because blue and orange are opposite on the colour wheel.


It was light and refreshing with pieces of pomelo in it.

Thanks to a friend for sharing this with me, I just wanted the Tin because it was a lovely blue container truck with working wheels.
Inside the tin, it had almond biscuits and pineapple cakes made by Kee Wah Bakery in Hong Kong.

Very dry, crumbly and hard.
Not too sweet with strong almond aroma.

Chirle Puddings fresh from Taiwan

Chirle Pudding (Mong Kok)

Chirle Pudding is a Taiwanese pudding from Taiwan.
They are now available in Hong Kong officially from the 29th at Ginza Plaza in Mong Kok.
You can now go and try them during 27th - 28th June while stocks last.

It was so nice of them to send me some to try before they launch them.

I have never been to Taiwan so I have never heard of them before.

There are lots of Taiwanese consumables you can get in Hong Kong but the logistics is getting better that smaller businesses can import more products over.
You can now get Sugar Rose nougats in Central too.

The packaging of this was nice, it was a bright yellow box containing nine egg puddings
inside.
If nine is too much, they also have boxes of four.


Each eggshell has been washed, cleaned and sterilised.

The puddings are flown over to Hong Kong each day.


The pudding are made with French milk, Taiwanese fresh eggs, and seeds from African vanilla pods.

How do they taste?
The taste was really nice and better than the local ones which were too sweet.
I love the vanilla seeds in the pudding and the texture was smooth and silky.
There was a good balance of egg and vanilla in the taste.

Awfully cute box for hei chocolate icecream

The first thing that made me notice Awfully Chocolate was their icecream boxes when they first opened.

 

There are now more branches of Awfully chocolate and you can now also get Awfully chocolate cookies and chocolate bars at 7-11.

However on my first visit I did not try their icecream, instead I tried their superstacked chocolate cake and the butterscotch cake.

Thanks to LemonTea who gave me a coupon for a single scoop of icecream at AC.
I finally had the fun of eating icecream from a mini takeaway box just like the ones in America!
The box was so nice and too cute that i kept the box after indulging the icecream.

hei icecream:

 

 

In Chinese, it is black, and Hei is the mandarin phonics for black.
I loved the chocolate icecream because the texture was really thick and dense,
The chocolate cocoa taste was really intense too with a slight twinge of bitterness.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
On my next visit I hope to try the cold poached icecream which is always sold out.

Back for more Beautifood with da beautacious chefs

The food was so delicious last time so I was back for more.
My title should be beautiful chefs to be correct but the chefs are guys so it sounds a bit weird using the word beautiful, so I used beautacious!
This time I dined there so there was a 10% service charge.

I was really hungry so I ordered the Veg Yuba tacos and the sushi burrito.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cantonese steamed fish:

In my previous review I forgot to mention the design of this sushi burrito.
There is a twisted end at the end of the wrapper which is designed to make the sushi come out when you twist it like lipstick.
They reminded me of sushi poppers which comeout by pushing the stick at the end.
The taste of this cantonese steamed fish was slightly different this time. There was no chili in it because the version I had before was modified to this one because it was too spicy.
The taste was still as nice as the first time because of the sauces and silky fish but rice was firmer this time and held together.
The sushi burrito also seemed bigger than the first time. I wonder if they made them bigger.

Vegetarian Taco trio:

This was three all vegetarian yuba tacos filled with roasted pumpkin with cream cheese, eggplant with yellow miso and porcini mushrooms with onion cream.
For the porcini mushrooms please see my previous review.

Roasted pumpkin with cream cheese
I wish there was more cream cheese in it because the taste of cream cheese was not that prominent.
The pumpkin was a bit too sweet for my liking. It would be good if they replaced the pumpkin with potatoes but that is my personal preference.
Eggplant with yellow miso
This was quite nice, it was molten eggplants with miso sauce inside with crispy spring onions.
Out of the three yuba tacos, my favourites were the porcini mushrooms and eggplant.
But in general I love these tacos and I hope to see more flavours in future.
