Cool packaging again! Gigantic matchbox biscuits @ Tai Pan Bakery


 
I dont really like Chinese bakery, but Taipan Bread & Cakes have been quite creative this year, first with the chocolate bar cake and then the milk carton cake.
Now a big version of a matchbox with matchstick cookies inside!~
Basically it just tastes like normal cookies, except the brown tip part tastes of chocolate.

Snacks @ 7-11

Surprisingly enough, the snacks at 7-11 can be quite good sometimes.

I think more 7-11 shops should be listed for reviews, since 7-11 have advertised with OpenRice about their new food products.

In the past, I have tried a lot of different snacks at 7-11, hopefully I can find pictures for the review.

Recently I tried the Salmon roll, which looks like a marshmallow, they don't usually have green items in their cooked selection.

I didnt know that it came with noodles, so for $10 it was noodles and those salmon rolls.

The salmon roll is made of the usual surimi, but just coloured to make it interesting.

The noodles were ok.

I want to try the salmon fish ball next.

Scrumptious snacks that all taste good @ 益昌小食店

Initially was attracted by the poster showing all their snacks, especially the squid with Prawn paste sauce. Prawn paste sauce is found everywhere in Tai O, and Tai O is the only place that serves squid with it, so I just had to try it.

As well as that ordered other snacks too, silky tofu, agar wtih grass jelly, spare ribs in prawn paste sauce noodles, and inmitation sharks fin soup.

The inside of the restaurant was tiled with shiny white tiles, it was slightly similar to the backstreet restaurants in Cheung Chau.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Squid with Prawn paste sauce:
This snack was nice and simple, squid drizzled with soy sauce, a few drops of oil and topped with prawn paste sauce.
I was expecting the prawn paste sauce to be saltier, however it wasnt that strong, there were bits of grounded pork too.
As well as this place, the prawn paste sauce in the and roti I had at Sun Kwong Cheung Choi Kee wasnt that strong either.
I wonder if the original recipe has been modified to adapt to the taste of modern Hongkongers.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Silky Tofu (warm):
The tofu was warm and smooth, it tasted nice with or without syrup.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Agar with Grass Jelly:
This looked interesting, agar with grass jelly, it was basically agar with cubes of grass jelly.
The taste was slightly different to what I expected, I was expecting the sweetness of agar mixed with the taste of grass jelly, but it tasted like Banana essence.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Inmitation sharks fin soup:
The quality of this was amazing, the chicken in the soup was fresh, although the taste was strong of sesame oil and slightly salty, I really liked it.
They used the vegetarian version of sharksfin instead of beanthread noodles.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
spare ribs in prawn paste sauce noodles
Same as the squid, the prawn paste sauce was slightly bland, but still the noodles were good, and the lettuce in the noodles were clean and fresh.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
