Grosvenor Momordica Fruit tea with Lingzhi
Tried this drink because it had Lingzhi extracts, however I doubt there would be significant amounts to give immediate health effects.
Initially I was going to get a drink from Original Taste workshop next door, however the bottled drink size was 1000ml which was too big and the smaller size was served in a paper cup.
The drink was filled right to the brim.
Anyway, it just tasted like normal sweet Grosvenor Momordica with some slight bitterness, however the taste of Lingzhi extracts were weak.

Food choices for Pizza Hut delivery has improved!
I hardly ever order Pizza for delivery, especially Pizza Hut because the delivery menu is limited.
This time I was surprised at the choice and it was so good that I ordered more than I intended to because the starters, pastas and desserts were sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tempting.

Pizza Duetto $127
I ordered the duetto because you can choose two different pizza's, however one of my choices was the supreme which is not supposed to contain pineapples according to the menu.

Bacon penne with truffle parsley sauce $68
This is a new pasta on the delivery menu, a nice change to spaghetti bolognaise and americana.
The sauce was really nice and strong, and there was chopped up parsley.
I would have liked it if the pasta was softer, but the sauce was nice and cheesy with a strong truffle taste.

Russian salad (shrimp and potato) $32
This was a nice salad that would be a choice for expats because it had mayonnaise dressing and not the weird sweet chinese salad dressings.
The elements in the salad were potatoes, lettuce, purple cabbage, prawns and black olives.

Golden Peach bread pudding $30
When I saw this, I was tempted to order two, and it did turn out to be delicious.
however when you take the lid off, it does not look as good as it tastes and it looks slightly different to your usual bread pudding.
The use of peach was much better than raisins.
The peach and custard sauce in the pudding tasted really nice.

McCafe's 2011 gingerbread man series
Went a few times to try the Gingerbread man cake but it was always sold out.
Finally they had it today, so ordered that and the hot Mint Mocha.
I don’t really like coffee, but I liked the Latte art and the frothy milk on top.
The frothy milk tasted the best and it was slightly minty.
As for the cake, it was the same as other cakes McCafe served before with the same format, crunchy biscuit base layers of spongecake and mousse cream.
The white mousse cream on top was dusted with powder resembling a gingerbread man.
I had almost forgotten it was a ginger cake until the heat of the ginger came through.
If the biscuit base were crushed gingerbread cookie, it would have matched it more.
I would preferred the ginger taste to be stronger.

Second chance to go back in time
There was a similar cafe like this called 祥利冰室 Cheung Lee Restaurant in Tin Hau, but it closed down before I could try.
Although I am not a fan of Chinese food, I like to visit these cafes because they are historic.
Inside the cafe it was like being in a scene from a Hongkie film.
Anyway, I really liked the old ceiling fans, clocks, old tiles, chipped chinaware which really matched the old area in ToKwaWan.
I chose the donut because it wasnt that Chinesey.
It had a different smell to the western ones, perhaps because of the oil used to fry it.
