Tri-coloured grass jelly @ Chung Kee Dessert 松記糖水

Quite good to find another dessert place that is not so traditional with the sweet soups and red beans.

Ordered the tri-coloured grass jelly, a mix of clear, white and black, the clear ones are basically agar jelly, and the white ones have a slight almond banana taste, and the black or the original ones.
I left the black ones, because there was a slight sour taste in it.

Lemon water chestnut: never tried water chestnut with bits of egg, but this time gave it a try with lemon, all because of lemon, I was surprised it wasnt nastily sweet. The water chestnuts were there, giving it a crunchy note, however it could be improved because they can be peeled better instead of leaving the brown skin on it.
The lemon was not really strong, only the bitter rind taste, I think if real lemon juice was extracted and mixed it with it would taste more lemoney.

Glutinous rice and ice-cream, just the ususal taste, with the coldness and sweetness from the ice-cream.

Japanese sets @ 大喬日本料理 Daikyo Japanese Cuisine

Ordered two sets, lots of sauces accompanying the dishes, and the food was good.
The only thing that let the meal down was the "large" clam soup as stated on the menu and pictured by others.

From pictures posted, the clam was nearly as big on the bowl, but it was tiny, after complaining, was given another bowl, not slightly bigger, but I believe so they can get a good review here.

Anyway the beef was good, I am not a beef eater, but the beef here is perfect, thinly sliced beef wrapped with spring onion inside.

 

 

 

 

 

Peanut butter snowflake ice @ 甜品大少 Mr. Sweetheart

After trying their signature items previously, was not expecting myself to come back again so soon.

This time I came here to try its grated ice dessert, tried most of the flavours in various dessert place, this time tried the peanut one.
I wasnt quite sure how it would taste, ie if it would have crushed peanuts in it, but probably not, as it might break down the ice grater!!

The taste of the grated peanut flavoured ice was better than imagined, buttery and creamy just like peanut butter in frozen form, less salty than real peanut butter and velvety texture.
Had coco pops as a topping, which went quite well.

The other vanilla one was rather boring, but coming here, it made me try the chiuchow jelly as a topping, chewy cubes of flour.

I was quite impressed with the menu too, and the translation was correct too, such as coco pops, and chiu chow jelly.
