Lime and pineapple punch @ KFC

Ordered the lime and pineapple punch, tasted ok, basically it is 7-up with pineapple pulp mixed in and a wedge of lime.

Not much in lime taste, the 7-up is more prominent, and the taste of pineapple is there when you eat it.
Basically a drink of elements to themselves, all the elements in the same cup, but not fused together.

Scrumptious seasonal vegetable tart @ Pacific Coffee

Saw this cute vegetable tart, and had to try it, despite I already decided to try something else.

The vegetable tart looked so fun, a mediterannean colourful medly of vegetables: Aubergine, red onions, baby sweetcorn, olives, pumpkin, red pepper, button mushroom, courgette, yellow cherry tomato, red cherry tomato.

It was very fun to eat, and tasted strong of italian herbs. I was expecting a bland tart, but it was packed with more flavour than imagined.

But in general anything tastes good at Pacific Coffee.

Black sugar ice-cream @ 囍宴 甜‧艺

Got the black sugar ice cream, not as good as expected.

It looked different to the pictured product, black sugar syrup was no where to be seen.
The texture of the ice-cream was rather soft and thick, but not as chewy as Mado’s icecream.

A bit dissappointing, because there was not a strong black sugar taste, although it is meant to be bitter, but it tasted more like coffee, so I wondered if they had just given me coffee ice-cream.

Maybe I would have been better off trying the Ferrero Roche ice-cream.

Breakfast panini @ Pacific Coffee

This was the best Panini I have ever had, it contained breakfast elements, hence called the Big breakfast.

Perfectly sliced, and pre-packaged before it reaches Pacific coffee.

The panini, had a light crust from the grill, and warm egg, ham and tarragon sauce in the middle.

Very satisfying for breakfast or light lunch.

Garlickylicious chicken @ 金源小館 Your restaurant

This restaurant reminds me of the Turkish restaurant in MK, but it’s called “Our restaurant” instead of “Your restaurant”.
I ordered the Garlic chicken and Vinegar pork chops, as the pictures for these looked good from users posted on OR.

The Garlic chicken came first, we had not even waited 5 minutes and it arrived, a generous bowl of chopped half-cooked garlic in soy sauce, and a plate with half a chicken.

The chicken was tender and juicy, not dry at all. The chicken was worth it’s price, only a few pieces of chicken skin on top of the chicken for presentation, and the rest was chicken. In other roast restaurants, when you order half a chicken, they serve you chopped up bones, chicken skin, and parts with no meat at all.

Anyway, poured the whole bowl of garlic sauce on the chicken, to let the tofu soak up the sauce and the chicken. The tofu tasted really good, full of garlic, soy and chicken. The chicken was cooked just right too, and went so well with the sauce, giving it sweetness, without overpowering the taste of chicken and yet you could taste the garlic.

Then came the pork chops in vinegar sauce, it came at the right moment, just as the chicken was nearly finished, moving on from a garlicky taste to a stronger taste sensation.
The portion looked quite big, and smell of vinegar was so strong you could almost taste it.

Taking a bite at the pork, there was generous sauce around it, and crunchy on the outside from the fried garlic and light flour. The pork was tender and not dry at all. The sauce was not that sour too, with the right amount of sweetness to balance it out. The pork was cooked chinese style with the pork deep fried first, and then stir frying it in the vinegar sauce.

I was very impressed with this dish, 95% on the plate was edible, there was no extra decorative stuff and the pork only contained small pieces of bones.

In other places I have tried, the whole plate of pork is inconsistent, only a few pieces are good, and then there is more bone and fat than the actual pork.
What is more irritating is being served a big plate of food among a large group and only 30% is edible.

Moving from a strong dish to dessert, given to us free, we got the tofu in sugar sauce.
From a strong sweet and sour dish, to tofu, the sweetness of the sauce gently neutralised the previous aftertaste left in the palate.
I don’t usually eat this dessert, but I had to admit it tasted nice, the sugar sauce was not syrupy at all, but light and watery, yet having lots of sauce with the tofu, does not go overly sweet. The tofu and sauce ratio was like 60:40.

Refreshing cranberry and pomegranite juice @ Little mermaid bakery

The drinks cabinet at the bakery were very attractive and a colourful display of fruit juices, the bottle itself was very attractive and looked like a clear cocktail shaker.

I chose the Cranberry with pomegranite and blueberry juice.
Very clear and ruby red in colour, no residue or fruit pulp in it.
It was not too sour or too sweet, but very appetising, the cranberry gives it the sour notes, and the blueberry and pomegranite gives it the sweetness.

The best thing about it, is that it dosnt taste artificial, all the sweetness and sourness is natrual, and there is no after taste.
