Pomegranite & Red Berries iced tea @ burger king

BURGER KING
Went to Burger King to try out their new Fruity iced tea series.

In the range, there are Passion fruit and Mango, and Pomegranite & Red Berries.

I was here to try the pomegranite one.

Pomegranite & Red Berries iced tea:

I was tempted to ask them for less syrup when they made the drink but then I decided not to bother because sometimes the drinks are pre-mixed.

Luckily when it came, they gave me the syrup separately.
I did not have to use the syrup because it was slighty sweet as they made the drink with concentrated berry cordial.
There were also strawberry seeds at the bottom.


The taste was quite nice, it had a nice berry tart taste, but it also tasted like Roselle tea.
The only disappointment was that the pomegranite and berry over powered the tea taste.

Pomegranite yogurt @ Berrygood

After eating Pierce chicken, I was on my way leaving Central. As I was walking down Graham road, I spotted this white shop, there were people in it eating desserts, so I looked further into the menu, and it was yoghurt.

Anyway I went in and was greeted by an Indian girl. On the menu there was either Original yoghurt or Pomegranite yoghurt, if it had of been another flavour I would have picked original, however Pomegranite is rather special, so I chose that one.
I think the menu layout could be improved, because it just looks like there is only one choice "Original yoghurt pomegranite swirls".
But anyway its quite good they have a different flavour everyday.

For each of the sizes u get a topping, for the small size, you get one topping, and more choices for the larger sizes.
The toppings can be seen at the counter, ranging from fruit, candies (such as jelly babies), healthy stuff such as cornflakes, granola.
Anyway I chose Granola.

Finally sat down, the yoghurt was nice and cooling, slightly icy blended texture. You can taste the pomegranite, yet still taste the yoghurt, and I like the gentle pink colour of the yoghurt. Not too sweet, just right.
So if i have Pierce chicken again, I will come here afterwards.

As for the place it self, nice and white with high ceilings which I havent see before in ages in HK.

They have a website too!

Refreshing cranberry and pomegranite juice @ Little mermaid bakery

The drinks cabinet at the bakery were very attractive and a colourful display of fruit juices, the bottle itself was very attractive and looked like a clear cocktail shaker.

I chose the Cranberry with pomegranite and blueberry juice.
Very clear and ruby red in colour, no residue or fruit pulp in it.
It was not too sour or too sweet, but very appetising, the cranberry gives it the sour notes, and the blueberry and pomegranite gives it the sweetness.

The best thing about it, is that it dosnt taste artificial, all the sweetness and sourness is natrual, and there is no after taste.

Pomegranite juice without the seeds @ Korea Well being house

KOREA Well-Being HOUSE is a very unique beverage joint, nearly all the joints are either local shops selling juices or Taiwanese style beverages.
The Korean variety in Hong Kong isn’t as popular as Japanese, currently available is the Korean BBQ, and then the more local Korean food at the Korean alleyway in Kimberly Street, TST.
After the popularity in Korean TV shows, we started seeing Korean cosmetics and skincare appearing in the market, eg Skinfood and Missha, Korean confectionery, chocolates and sweets packaged in cute boxes.
Now finally a drinks house in Wan Chai.

When I walked past it, it wasn’t as outstanding as the Taiwanese beverage shops, it was earthy, looking like a timber lodge house.
There was not a lot of lighting for the exterior or the shop or any fancy signs, when I stepped inside, I wasn’t quite sure what they were selling, the interior and drinks list were not that apparent.

On the left on the counter, I saw a juicer with samples of juice for people to try, so I couldn’t work out if they were selling juicers or drinks mixtures for people to make at home.
I looked at the drinks list and leaflet again and managed to see a cramped list with many drinks on it.
The A4 leaflet was more like a product list/beauty services leaflet than a drinks list.
The samples of drinks were tempting to try, but there was nothing covering them, they were exposed to the busy traffic, especially the smelly buses that past frequently.
For improvements, I think they should be placed at the counter, and pour them out as needed.
After looking at the drinks list, the variety was quite impressive. The staff told me that all the juices were made from fresh fruit bought daily from the supermarket.
Anyway, fruit juices are a health item, they claim to be healthier from the rest, especially the juices are not diluted or sugared and the JUICER they have is different from the ones on the market.
The Juicer employed is a HUROM SLOW JUICER, a slow-geared grinding mechanism that protects the vegetables/fruit from oxidation heat (from friction) which reduces nutrient breakdown.
Although it is called a slow juicer, the rate of juice produced is actually quicker than a conventional juicer.
It is interesting to watch it in action against a normal juicer, the video can be watched at the HUROM juicer site.

Pomegranate juice

PoMeGrAnAtE jUiCe
The pomegranate juice was the most impressive, especially the structure of the pomegranate, the tiny seeds are hard to juice in a juicer.
This is probably why not a lot of places offer it, I was amazed because it was actually REAL JUICE, not watered down juice!!!!!!!!
Before I ordered it, I assumed it would probably be made from Pomegranate cordial diluted with water with a few seeds of pomegranate added into the drink.
The Pomegranate juice was just brilliant, it like eating a real pomegranate without the trouble of disposing the seeds. The taste is LITERALLY like a real pomegranate, with slight bitterness from the membranes found in the Pomegranate, making the taste complete.
Colour: The colour of the juice was not as ruby as the fruit seeds, it more pinkish like grapefruit.

yAm MiLk
Impressed by the first drink, I tried the YAM MILK with the knowledge it would be made from REAL FRESH YAM and not the powdered flavouring used in Taiwanese drinks.
Unfortunately, there is no picture for this drink, but it had a frothy layer of foam on top.
The taste was natural, with thick starchy residue of YAM in the liquid, it’s a bit like drinking the residue of the Chinese chestnut soup.
The YAM taste was a bit like cooked YAM, rather than the fragrant dessert type, and there were occasional hints of banana peel. I think the banana taste is the result of mixing fresh yam and milk together, apart from YAM milk, they also had YAM soymilk, which is also probably good too, but as it was my first time trying it, I didn’t want to have the soymilk overpowering the YAM.
Colour: the colour of this was natrual light brown, not purple, it is slightly lighter than the powerdered grains drink shown on the photo.

Last but not least I also ordered the drink made from powdered mixed grains, this was slightly different to what I was expecting, it wasn’t milky or viscous like the usual health smoothies.
It was slushy with bits of grounded grains in it, the taste was a little different, it tasted like those Chinese peanut crunchy biscuits and the Chinese “foh ma yan” drink made from Cannabis seeds.
The interesting fact is, Cannabis seeds and poppy seeds are edible!! Both made from drug plants!!
On their drinks list they offer over 30 different drinks, with the relevant health benefits.
The main drinks are split into milks, juices and soymilks. The number is a bit weird though on the leaflet it jumps from 3 to 21, so maybe the missing drinks are native Korean items that cant be found here.

The unique drinks worth trying are definitely Pomegranate, Peach, Grape and Kiwi especially when its nearly 100% juice and not watered down!~!
