Just like the angel cake, the chocolate cake is like the angel version, the cake is soft as chiffon, and the cream is rich and light.
Also the chocolate pieces were also supplied in a separate pack to add as a topping.

Melon and lemon jelly drink @ Hui Lau Shan
The summer season is over but the heat is still here, and I need to KEEP cool with a drink.
Usually I can cool myself with the pink grapefruit and jelly, but now the autumn menu is out, so the pink grapefruit is no longer available.
Anyway I got the melon and lemon jelly and it was better than I imagined, melon has always been savoryish, especially with Parma Ham, but as a drink, it worked well with the sour notes of the lemon.
The only thing that could be improved was their slooooooooooooooooow service, I suspect she didnt know how to use the blender, the fruit at the bottom was blended, while the ice remained at the top untouched, then she finally realised it after a while and pushed down the ice, and Hey presto! I finally got my drink after waiting for ages!!!!!!!

Ramen in curry soup @ Ajisen
The curry ramen was good, the curry soup was thin and salty, not thick at all.
The soft pork bone and rice was ok, the pork was nice and gelatinous.

chili corn carne @ Agave Tequila Y Comida
Its very hard to find good chilli carne in Hong Kong, usually the good ones are from british pubs, there will be some Chinese versions served in places, but they tend to add tomato in it, making it more like salsa.
As this place specialises in Mexican food, that did the trick, also you have to go on the day they serve chilli con carne on the menu too!!
So today, I ordered the lunch set with soup, mains and tea.
The soup base was thin, sprinkled with fresh coriander, tomato based with rice and chicken in it, it also had a dash of chilli sauce giving it some spice.
Then came the chilli con carne, I chose Mexican rice and re-fried beans to go with it, the rice portion was small, and re-fried bean is just mashed beans. The chilli con carne was excellent, lots of beans, beef, and fully flavoured.
The restaurant décor is quite aztec mexican style, open restaurant over looking Lockhart road, but the only drawback is the air conditioning, not cool enough and slightly humid due to the open style.
Winter would be a perfect time to come here again, especially because the food was spicy.

Yamagata corn Ramen @ Ajisen
I tried the new sweetcorn noodles, basically it is noodles in sweet corn based soup, with two pieces of stuffed sweetcorn!!!!!
新登場 - 山形大粟拉麵 Yummy Yamagata corn Ramen
香脆的天婦羅裏面充滿彈牙的墨魚膠；加埋日本山形縣的粟米濃湯底!
The stuffed sweet corn is basically like the Chinese stuffed vegetables such as halved bell peppers stuffed with fish patty, however this one is sweetcorn stuffed with squid patty.
how is it done!! can anyone tell me!!~!
see wat i mean:
The reason why it was very intriguing, is because if you slice the sweetcorn from the edge of the stalk the sweetcorn seeds have nothing to support it and become separated seeds. Yet all the sweetcorn seeds were intact and arranged like a sweetcorn with the squid patty on the other side. I really doubt each of the seeds were stuck on the patty. And the whole piece was fried in tempura coating.
Anyway back to the sweet corn noodles, I really loved it, the sweetcorn soup was very interesting, it tasted like WHITE RABBIT SWEETS, especially on the first sip and when you swallow it.
I also tried the prawn dumplings, they were as good as the normal ones, except the primary ingredients were beef and prawn! A contrasted combination from strong beef to light flavour of the prawn!

Mini pizza trio @ Pizza Express
I was intending to go to Double tree for the baked apple in filo pastry with ice-cream, luckily I asked before going in because its so annoying when they have it displayed on their window and they do not serve it.
Since they didnt have it I popped across the road to Pizza express for tea, there was a choice of either pizzas or desserts, the desserts were just chocolate cakes or cheesecakes, so I opted for the pizza.
It was a selection of 3 mini pizzas including a drink.
The three pizza’s were cheese and margarita, cheese and pepperoni and duck with hoisin sauce.
I ate the cheese margarita first, then the pepperoni and lastly the duck one because duck with hoisin sauce is totally different taste to tomato being on the sweet side.
All of them had the consistent thin pizza base, the cheese and margarita was good, starting out with the usual pizza taste, then moving on with a slightly stronger taste with pepperoni, then a change of tone with the sweet hoisin sauce.
Finally finished it off with a pot of tea, and it tasted much silkier than the Lipton brand.

Laksa @ 狀元麵館 Relish Noodle
As a laksa lover, I will try laksa at different places. This place is like the usual cha chan teng, infact I think it is a chain of May Wong’s, but worse.
The restaurant is very cramped with tables at one side with a corridor only wide enough for one person.
Despite the setting, still decided to eat there, waited for ages for someone to come over and take the orders.
Ordered Laksa and Vietnamese noodle and added $5 for green tea with jelly drink.
The laksa just tasted like diluted laksa, not spicy and tasteless, you could only tell it was laksa by appearance and smell ONLY.
The Vietnamese noodles was Ok, nothing too bad or too good about it.
But the worst thing was, the drink was on the printed receipt, but they forgot to put the order in the kitchen.
