Strawberry tofu pudding @ Hui Lau Shan

 

Saw these cute jars of pudding with the supporting poster so decided to try it.

 

There were four flavours:
Milk pudding with diced mango
Chocolate pudding with melon
Tofu strawberry pudding with strawberry
Steamed egg pudding with chocolate curls.

They all seemed good, except for the weird combination of chocolate pudding and melon.
I would have eaten them separately if I ordered it.

I do not like mango in general so I didnt get the milk pudding.
Overall, all the puddings were good except for the melon and mango.

Next time I am going to try the steamed egg with chocolate curls.

The strawberry pudding was quite good, the sweetness of the pudding was balanced by the sourness of the fresh strawberry.
It would be great if the pudding contained aloe vera pieces in it.
As well as strawberries it also had tofu taste.

 

 

Creme brulee froyo @ Cherry on Top

Sometimes when I walk past the flavours are boring, but today they had creme brulee so I stopped to try it.
Athough it was probably due to creme brulee essence they used for the flavouring, it was quite nice and the taste of creme brulee was quite strong.
The vanilla one kept its standards.

But for any froyo flavour that isnt the original flavour, I do not have the expectation of real froyo taste.
I just expect it to taste like cold milky soft serve with flavour.

Other flavours I have tried: original, vanilla, strawberry, sesame, chocolate and kiwi.
The one I liked the best was Vanilla, softer than softserve and not so creamy.
The rest were icy and tasted like Yakult.
The chocolate was not that strong.

The choice of toppings were OK, however the cherry had that fake taste which I havent had in ages.
It tastes like Cherryade and cough syrup, nothing like Glacier cherries.

Chicken pie with cheese @ New Phoenix cake shop

Chicken Pie
It was slightly warm which was better than cold.
The pastry was the short crust type and you could smell the usual Chinese butter.
The crust was just right, not too hard and not too crumbly, it had the usual buttery and sweet taste of Chinese pies.
Anyway the filling was the best, it was simple, it was diced chicken thigh, onions and rich brown gravy.
The chicken was fresh and tender.
The parmesan could not be visually seen, but it worked well and made the whole pie taste nice.
The parmesan was really subtle and did not over power anything.
I really liked this chicken pie because it tasted the same as the gravy chicken pies in UK except for the sweet crust.

 

French beef with tomato rice @ 新竹源越南餐廳

The portion of rice was generous and the cubes of beef were tender.
They were cubes of sliced beef filet.
The quality of beef here was so much better than Pho' 1988.
As for the rice, it was slightly oily but acceptable.

Sliced chicken with cambodian noodles
Overall, I felt there was nothing spectacular about it, however the chicken was not that fresh,
you can see it has slightly gone dark.

 

The skin of the lime edge has oxidised and gone brown,
hence it must have been sliced for along time and not served.

I wonder how long it has been around
