Maxim's Earl Grey Chiffon Cake

Amongst the green Pandan Cakes, I saw some antique brass coloured ones, initally I thought they were probably coffee, then I was amazed to find out they were Earl Grey flavoured.

It was impressive that Maxims have done research on current flavours.

Earl grey flavours I have come accross so far, earl grey yogurt at Berrygood, earl grey chocolates at Cha.ke.li, earl grey scones at Antique Patisserie, earl grey swiss rolls at Roll, earl grey and taro cake at Vero and earl grey pudding at Cherry garden,

It appears that from the list above, Earl Grey is targeted more on western cuisines and the higher end of the market, so I was surprised when I saw it at Maxims just like the Pandan flavour.
Especially with Maxim's being the local bakery that everyone can afford.

I think it would probably sell better at hong kong branches and not so well in rural areas, so it makes sense that not all branches of Maxims have it.
I tried to get it at two mtr branches but they didnt stock it.

As for the cake, its texture is like the pandan one, but less greasy.
There is a fresh smell of earl grey with a hint of lemon and bits of earl grey tea leaves in the cake too.

Maxim's Marble Chiffon cake

The Maxim's marble chiffon cake was on promotion for 2 for $20.

In the past the other chiffon cakes were also 2 for $20, the flavours in the past were Earl Grey and Pandan.

As I had to get two I chose one with more marbling patterns on it and the other I chose more chocolate in it.

I tried the one with more marbling patterns on it first.
As expected, it was soft and your fingers are oily after touching it.
I did not like it because it just tasted the same as the usual cakes with strong egg taste and it was too sweet to taste anything else.

But when I tried the other cake, it was much nicer, it was less eggy and sweet.

There is some inconsistency in the taste which is affected by either the sweetness levels or the proportion of the chocolate in it matters.

Singmalay part 27 - Mandarin chicken rice

Came here a year ago when it was flooded with people, however the day I went it was closed.

 

 

Anyway, one year later I am back to try it again.
Luckily the queue has died down, so I did not have to wait for long.
The air conditioning was freezing in there.

Ordered the signature roast chicken and the original chicken {their so called white chicken}
The portions were quite small.
The roasted chicken tasted better than the white chicken, the skin was roasted so it wasnt as greasy as the white one.

 

The rice was just right, not to soft and not too hard, however it went cold quickly due to the air con.

 

The soup that was given free tasted strong of cabbage and less of the chicken.

 

The Buk Kut Teh was nice and strong however it was too salty.

 

The vegetables were ok.

 

The sauces were contained in a metal container instead of being given fixed amount.

 

 

The table next to me had some stir-fried vegetables and said it was too salty as well.
Overall I quite liked it and preferred it more than Good Satay, however the grounded ginger at Good Satay is better.
