Tokyo icecream on the corner

Via Tokyo (Causeway Bay)
I tried their icecream ages ago but it seemed hard writing this up because I am not an expert on Japanese food.

One of the Japanese owners was really nice and shockingly spoke really good English because all the Japanese people I have met, I had trouble understanding what they said in English.

While I was there, they were making dumplings for the desserts.

Although there were lots to choose from, my favourite was actually the plain one with crispy rice only available to students.

I love that crispy rice which tastes like the cereal honey puffs.

Okome shiratama Azuki mix soft cream:

The dessert was nice and colourful but I found it a bit heavy and I don't like red beans.

Plain icecream with crispy rice:

This was my favourite, plain and simple soft serve with crispy rice.
I wish they served this on the regular menu.

Icecream with Horlicks is back at McDonlds

McDonald's (North Point)

Icecream with Horlicks is back!!

At this branch, they have a new ordering and queuing system.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Icecream with Horlicks:


I don't often get McDonald's ice-cream but the softserve with Horlicks is good.
The Horlicks powder was slightly savoury which took away the sweetness of the ice-cream, it also reminded me of extra fine digestive biscuit crumbs on the ice-cream.

Godiva's addictive softserve

Godiva Chocolatier (Central)
After my last softserve I was craving for another one, however they stopped serving them a few weeks ago but they said they were going to serve it during the Christmas period.

Anyway I was back for the softserve.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chocolate softserve:


It was creamy and the chocolate taste was strong but the temperature of the soft serve itself is not that cold, it won't give you a brain freeze.
The soft serve was just like a solid mass of smooth liquid icecream in a cone.
The surface of the soft serve was flawless and uniformly smooth.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Godiva Christmas Crystal tree:


To get this crystal, you have to spend around $4K on Godiva Chocolates.
But Thanks to siuyeahdragon a really famous blogger for doing a Christmas giveaway!! (「讓歡樂傳揚，送聖誕禮物給大家！」)
I didn't think I would get it, but I dropped in an email for a laugh and I really got it!!
Thank you so much Siuyeahdragon!! The crystal tree is really pretty, sparkling with studded red and green crystals.

A cool start to winter with Godiva's softserve

Godiva Chocolatier (Central)

Winter is not cold in Hong Kong, so it's the best time for icecream to give you that winter feeling!

I have always wanted to try Godiva's softserve but I have not been near any branch that serves them.

Anyway, their Christmas exclusive caught my attention so when I went in, I realized they had the soft serve so I got one immediately.

Godiva's chocolate soft serve:
It was hygienic of them to put on rubber gloves when they served you the soft serve.


At first it did not really impress me but suddenly the taste was really addictive.
It was creamy and the chocolate taste was strong but the temperature of the soft serve itself is not that cold, it won't give you a brain freeze.
The soft serve was just like a solid mass of smooth liquid icecream in a cone.
The surface of the soft serve was flawless and uniformly smooth.

Strawberry truffle:



The texture of the strawberry truffle filling was more like strawberry creme and the strawberry taste was a bit artificial.

Fresh milk softserve icecream

Milk Top (Kowloon Bay)

Thanks to AA for treating me to softserve icecream at Milk Top.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
I did not know there was Milk Top at Kowloon bay which serves softserve as well because I thought they only did the scoops and tubs.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Here the fresh milk softserve costs $20 and it is huge!

The only flaw is their softserve machine, it cannot cope with serving more than two softserves at a time so you have to wait a few minutes for the softserve machine to work!!!

As for the taste it was really nice and milky, it was icy cold too because it was quite icy.
The sweetness was just right and not too sweet and tastes similar to the White rabbit milk sweet!

While I was there, someones icecream went splat!
(unlucky for them )

Lovely plain Hokkaido icecream

Shop: Kasho Chaya (Causeway Bay)

Came back for their delicious ice-cream!
It is so nice you can never get sick of it.

This time I got plain icecream because I was not interested in the rest of the fancy addons such as red beans, green tea jelly etc.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Hokkaido icecream:


The plain icecream is not a bad deal because you actually get quite a fair amount of icecream in it.
The ice-cream was very dense and thick, yet very airy, with fine air bubbles infused inside.
It was very interesting, because it was like cold thick mousse and gooey marshmallow.

From 3.6 to 3.7 Hokkaido milk icecream @ yuemimeya

Hokkaido milk is famous for its creamy taste.

The number represents the fat content in it, so the higher the content the creamier it is.

The standard used to be 3.6, but now there is 3.7 which is a 0.1 increase in fat content.

At Yumemiya they now serve 3.7 Hokkaido milk softserve and there are lots of choices as well as original and green tea.

Hokkaido 3.7 milk green tea and vanilla icecream:

 

 

When I tried the vanilla icecream I was not that impressed because it just tasted like the softserve that you can get anywhere in the UK.
Compared to other softserves in Hong Kong, this one is definately the creamiest if you have not tried softserves in other countries.
For the green tea part, it tasted too grassy.
