Taro and coconut snow flake ice @ 甜蜜子甜品店 Sweet C. C. Dessert

Last time I came, they did'nt have the combo, so this time i ordered the taro and coconut combo, it was quite pretty two colours together.

The staff and service was still as good as last time, I shall be back for more when I come to TST again.

 

Fried bananas and oysters @ 嵐山料理

This is my second visit, and the food is consistently good, last time
i tried the prawns, and fried cheeses.

I came back this time for the fried oyster and banana.

Banana:Presented like a banana fritter drizzled with blackcurrent sauce, the batter was light and thin, and there were 3 pieces in a portion.
The banana itself was naturally sweet, and the blackcurrent sauce was tangy, giving it a good taste combined together.
Before I tried it, I thought the sauce would have been too sweet therefore ruining it, but it turned out better than anticipated.

Oyster:The oyster was covered in cutlet and appeared rather thin, the oysters were fresh and tasted strong, juicy and not mushy at all.

Overall they both tasted good, and the standard has kept, and the oil they used has been changed often, hence not ruining the food.

Heavenly halal food @ 尚門快餐(清真) Sham Fast Food

The best food I have ever eaten, although its simple chicken and chips/arabic rice.

Every bit of it was dreamily delicious. The chicken is tender and tasty, its rice is the best, very minuscule pieces of carrot and herbs gently giving the rice aromatic flavour.
The coleslaw is also good, gently flavoured with salad sauce, not salad cream.

The fries were great too, topped with gorgeous spices, which reminded me McDonalds shake shake fries with curry powder.

There was also some white sauce, which I was not quite sure what it was, but added excitement to my meal. It was pure white, fluffier than mayonnaise with a slight garlic touch to it. That sauce was good, I wouldnt mind having more to dip my chips or to go with rice or the bread. It turns out to be Middle eastern style garlic sauce (thoom).

The bread was also good too, cute in size and piping hot.

For their drinks they also have a wide variety such as Almond milk in the cans, Apricot juice, Lemon and mint.

 

Mixed Mushroom Spaghetti in a Lemon Juice & Parsley Sauce @ Carnegies

Carnegies have made a great improvement since my last visit, they will display their menu outside early in the morning, so you can walk past and see whats on for lunch.

Also it is much appreciated they update their weekly menu on facebook.

I chose to eat today, because of the mixed mushroom spaghetti in Lemon juice and parsley sauce.
For starters ordered the romaine salad with cajun chicken

Mains:Grilled Chicken Steak with Garlic Sauce, French Fries, Carrots & Snow Peas
and Mixed Mushroom Spaghetti in a Lemon Juice & Parsley Sauce

Dessert: Coconut banana fritters with Rum sauce.

Cajun chicken salad:
pieces of romaine lettuce on a bed of sliced chicken breast covered in spicy cajun sauce.

The bread was cute, served in a dimsum container, the bread was crusty and chewy, and the butter was nice and salty.

Grilled chicken:
juicy chicken with french fries and veg, the chicken was thigh meat. ( I thought is was slighty chinese the way it had been cooked)

Lemon pasta:
pasta cooked just right and the sauce was nice and lemoney, certainly worth choosing today to come. However the parsley could have been chopped finer since the menu said lemon and parsley sauce. It was more like a sprig of parsley.

Banana fritter:
Slightly over fried, not so much coconut, but the rum sauce was good, slightly bitter.
reminded me of the Caribbean.

Overall the menu is well suited for westerners and asians, since one dish will be western, and the other sounds western but cooked in chinese style.

 

 

 

Lemon and apricot cake @ Pacific Coffee

I am such a fan for Pacific coffee products, it is rare for me to dislike anything there.

One thing I do not buy is coffee, but I do drink tea.

I got the lemon and apricot cake as a light snack, its not too sweet, and there are lovely bits of apricot in it.
It is not too greasy either.

The date on the packaging is rather memorable, because it consists of consecutive numbers.

 

Takoyaki balls @ CEO

Octopus balls:

In comparision to the octopus balls elsewhere, these ones are potato based, hence more crispy and have a nice starchy filling inside.
