Natrual froyo in fairytale kingdom @ Kings N Cream

This froyo shop is situated at the backstreets of Mong Kok where they sell airsoft guns.

 

I was attracted by the design of the shop and the massive NUT CRACKER which reminded me of London, Christmas and fairytale stories.
I really liked the tree on the glass window at the front, a bit like a fairytale story.

 

When I walked past this shop, the Logo and fonts reminded me of the King Parrot group, I wonder if they are they related?

They basically sell ice-cream, froyo and some cakes.

I tried the froyo, the taste was really nice and natural, and not sweet.
It resembles the yogurt at appollo but not as stiff and icy.
The yogurt seemed to contain bits of grains similar to wheatgerm but I didnt know what it was.

 

I got peach as a topping and it was amazing, it wasnt syrupy sweet even though it was canned peaches.

 

So overall, I felt the froyo served here was healthy and I'll be back for more.

Kings N Cream kingdom fit for the King

Came here during the month they first opened, and since then there has been some improvement and changes.
They now have designed ice-creams and yogurts which remind me of Smile.
I was given a loyalty card this time which is really cute, especially the stamps on the card, I liked the chocolate chips and the orange stamp featured on their sample chop card.

Although there is more choice, I still chose the plain yogurt with one topping because I felt that their yogurt was really nice on its own it didnt need lots of sauce and other topping to compliment it!
I always believe that a good dish/dessert should'nt need to have things added because it is not tasteless.
The yogurt was still as refreshing as my first visit, and it did not have that artificial milk powder taste like in other places.
The guy was really nice because he offered samples their ice-cream without me asking.
For the samples I tried chocolate and green tea, the green tea and chocolate ice-cream was very strong, but nice.
At other places even if you asked, they don't offer samples.
My Froyo was lovely and cold, but NOT ICY.

So far, this is my favourite NATURAL FROYO place, but for sweet localised froyo, my favourite place would be ROLL because I like their thick version. But according to healthy Froyo I would pick this place because it dosnt contain much sugar and I loved the tartness of it.

Egg Tarts @ Maxim's Bakery

Had a craving for shortcrust pastry egg tarts, so got some from Maxim's.

The egg tarts tasted a bit too sweet and buttery, so I chilled them in the fridge which made it taste better, there was no buttery taste and you could taste hints of coconut in it instead.
Overall the egg tarts were good, but there was pieces of black stuff on it, perhaps from the burnt base.

out of focus but u can still see black things!

Pandan and coconut cake slice @ Maxim's Bakery

The cake was made of pandan and coconut, it tasted nice apart from the chinese cream.
The green layer tastes the same as the larger version sold at Maxim's.

Pakora Pakora Pakora Pakora rules @ Pakora Spice Fast Food

Since it opened I have always wanted to try it, but it was hard to locate.

It is classified in the Wan Chai area, but it is really close to Times Square.

I only discovered it when I walked past and noticed this red looking tandoori chicken leg.

So came back another day to try it.

Pakora actually means a fried snack (fritter) created by taking one or two ingredients such as onion, eggplant, potato, spinach, plantain, cauliflower, tomato, chilli, or occasionally bread or chicken and dipping them in a batter of gram flour and then deep-frying them.
The most popular varieties are palak pakora, made from spinach, paneer pakora, made from paneer (soft cheese), pyaz pakora, made from onion, and aloo pakora, made from potato.

When onions, on their own, are prepared in the same way, they are known as onion bhujia or bhaji. A version of pakora made with wheat flour, salt, and tiny bits of potato or onion (optional) is called noon bariya (nūn=salt), typically found in eastern Uttar Pradesh in India.

Pakoras are usually served as snacks or appetizers. In Britain, pakoras are popular as a fast food snack, available in Indian and Pakistani restaurants to take-out as an alternative to french fries or kebabs.

The chicken leg which looked like tandoori chicken in the UK was actually called "King of fried chicken leg" at this shop.
To me, it looked like grilled chicken rather than fried, it was red in colour like chinese roast meat, but tandoori if you've been to UK.
There were some chili seeds on it too, so I thought the chicken would be mega hot, but it wasnt.

The chicken leg was amazingly tender and not dry at all, it was packed with lots of flavours.
The prominent ones I could taste were chili, cumin, and the common spices you find in Indian food.

I will definately be back for their other snacks such as fried fish, lamb kebab with rice, and grilled lamb chops.

The shop has been slightly localised as they have Chinese on their menu making it easier for locals to order, and they even do Chicken soft bone pakora for those not brave enough to try the real native foods.

Chicken curry:This was really spicy and had a layer of curry oil on top.
As it was too spicy, I couldnt really taste anything but the spicyness.
The indian rice was nice and fluffy as usual.

lamb skewer with rice:
I liked this dish better, it was rice drizzled with yogurt and pieces of lamb kebab, this was not spicy and I loved the way the lettuce and tomato was sliced thinly that it blends in with the sauce and rice.
