Blue iced donuts @ ROCCA Bakery

Last time I wanted to get the mini ring donuts, but they didn't have them.

This time they had iced ring donuts in pretty colours, blue, pink, brown and white with rainbow sprinkles.

Pity I didn’t take a picture, because the price label said $3, which is about right for a tiny donut of that size.

However when I was at the till, the total came to $10 for two donuts, which is slightly expensive considering I got mini muffins at that size for $3.5 at Rocca last time.

It seems they have handwriting issue because last time the 3.5 was written to look like 3.0, this time the $3 they claimed to be $5.

Anyway I should have taken a picture then, but I asked them if the donuts were $3 or $5 when I paid,
they removed the label and replaced it with a bold written $5, so it must have been misleading if they had to take that course of action.

Perhaps printed price labels next time would help?

The blue donut was interesting, I asked what flavour it was, and the baker told me it was CHOCOLATE, very interesting, blue coloured chocolate, however I couldn’t really taste any chocolate, it just tasted like crunchy icing sugar to me.

 

Pray for Japan fundraising event @ Butao

Found out from Open Rice that Butao is usually closed on Sundays, but for a special cause they were open on 17th of April 2011, and all profits that day would be donated to Japan.
Instead of serving 200 bowls per day, it was increased to 280 bowls, so more funds could be raised.

Upon queuing up, there was a guy from that Charity helping out with giving out the menu's and the Pray for Japan badge.

Sat down and ordered the GREEN KING.

I chose the noodles to be super hard because they get softer towards the end.
The Japanese char siu really astonished me, it tasted like the roast pork that is thinly sliced in school dinners.
I have always refused to eat Japanese char siu because it dosnt taste that fresh, but here it was so soft and fresh.

Every element in the noodles was good, from spring onions, black fungus, pork to the noodles.

I shall be back for the Black King!

This is not a detailed review, a more detailed review will be posted later.

 

 

 

 

Jellied worms if you dare to try @ 閩南小食館

This joint specialising in Mun Nam cuisine is located in the back streets of uphill North Point, opposite Saizeriya.
It has a grey feel to it and a distinctive smell, the people look different, and a weird language is spoken.

I have always wanted to try these jellied worms, but the minimum order is two, so I reckon I would be freaked out twice if I had them!!
I wanted to try, but I just couldn’t, so in the end I ordered the chicken rolls and the noodles in sauce.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

 

 

Chicken roll:This is similar to the rolls in Chiu Chow cuisine, fried beancurd rolls with meat inside, the taste was nice, especially the dipping sauce, but there was lots of white fat in it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

Noodles in Sauce:To me, this was exactly like canned spaghetti, lots of sauce and overly soft noodles.
However the sauce was much better than the tomato sauce you get in canned spaghetti, it contained oysters, vegetables and fatty meat.
The sauce was slightly peppery and creamy.
