XO sauce stir fried noodles @ Original Taste Workshop

 

Felt like trying their stir fried noodles which costs $17 per bowl.
The bowl of noodles looked quite small, but luckily it was small because it didn’t taste that nice.
The colour of it was dark chocolate, there were pieces of julienne black fungus and the noodle was topped with dried scallop.
The smell of dried scallop was strong too, but the XO sauce was not that spicy.
The noodle was hard and dry, the flavouring was too strong and salty.

Takoyaki balls @ Japan Boat

Haven’t been to this shop since I got since food poisoning from their grilled seafood at the MK branch.
Back then, there was not much choice around Dundas Street, I used to eat from there quite often.
Then after Gindaco opened I never went back.

Anyway, I just felt like getting them again.
As I hadn’t been for a while I forgot request not to have the sweet Teriyaki sauce because it is so sweet, but the rest of the sauces were nice such as the egg mayonnaise and Wasabi.

The Jasmine tea that came with it was Ok but too sweet, it was the usual syrup tea concoction.

White chocolate butterscotch block @ Awfully chocolate

I have always wanted to try Awfully chocolate when I saw the pictures posted on OR.
I really liked the cute cardboard boxes they use for their ice cream and the cute fluorescent green “Sporks”
{a two in one spoon + fork}.
The boxes are mini versions of the ones used in Chinese takeaways in the US.

I tried the white butterscotch block that was visually interesting and artistic.
I wanted to try the moist chocolate cake with lots of layers too but I will leave that for the next time.

White Butterscotch block
This was a Swiss roll covered with white cream and the outside shaped like a block with a flat top, and butterscotch syrup was drizzled on the top in a criss cross pattern.
The roll was very dark in colour that it nearly resembled black, it had a striking contrast against the white cream.
After trying it, I felt the sweetness was just right. The white cream on the outside tasted strong of white chocolate, however it was slightly too buttery and sickly.
The sponge was nice and soft. The amount of syrup on top was just right to complement the white cream and sponge.

 

 

The cake was sliced by a thin metal blade similar to the ones used in magic shows where a bigger version is slid into the cabinet with a person inside!

Chicken leg baked in Salt @ Original Taste Workshop

Got the chicken leg baked in salt as illustrated on the poster.

 

When I got it, I was surprised to see it wrapped in foil which reminded me of KFC's Foilicious chicken.
The chicken was a bit dry and bland.

 

McD's McPepper beef burger 2011

This year McD’s has launched a re-run of some of its special edition burgers, which include: the shogun, McPepper and McRibs.
I have already tried the McPepper before but decided to try it again for this year.
I got the double patty, it was filled with lots of diced onions and black pepper gravy.
The beef was tasteless but the black pepper was very strong and prominent.
The only disappointment this year was the shake shake seasoning did not come with the meal, you have to pay $2 for it or order the larger size set meal.
