After seeing some pics of the rainbow sandwiches, I specifically came here to try em.
They looked so cute, and tasted good too, bascially they are pieces of cake cut into sandwiches filled with cream.
My favourite colour was the red one, as raspberry tasted the best, next was the chocolate one, but the filling was very heavy, just like the chocolate they use in their cakes. Then the rest i ate were orange, yellow (lemon), green (green tea), and pink (rose).
However I wished the pink one could have been grapefruit, as I am not a fan of rose.
Will come here again to try their other cakes.

Chocolate pie @ McDonalds
Not as good as it seems, but a good treat to eat something different in McDonalds.
Triangular shaped pie, of brown chocolate flakey pastry, actually the pastry dosnt taste of chocolate, slightly savory in taste.
When you take a bite, most of the chocolate filling is in the center and towards the bottom, so you need to take quite a few bites at the boring pastry to get to the chocolate filling.
The chocolate filling tastes more of cocoa than chocolate, but not too sweet.

Hot dogs @ 豬事狗 Juicy Dog
Spotted this shop a while ago, at least 2 months I believe, but never open while I was in Sai Kung.
Finally when I went it on a week day lunch time, it was open, so I tried the hot dog with meat sauce, and changed the sausage to the pork and herbs one. Maybe next time I should try the plain one.
A bit messy to eat, as the sausage was a bit too big for the bun, and so much sauce. It was wrapped up nicely though. I prefer the hot dogs in Tsuen Wan.
They also do other dishes like pasta, which I saw being served and the cheese on top of it, is just sliced cheese slices not the real cheese.
Although there is one thing I really must try next time which is their Dr Peppers Soda’s, the Cel-Ray one (celery flavoured soda).

Build your own burger @ Gourmet Burger Union
Similar to Toppings, except this place has even more choice.
From cheese to toppings and sauces, there are so many choices to choose, and for that extra gourmet factor, you can pay a small price to add that too.
Cheese wise, as not many places serve burgers with blue cheese, here they have three blue cheeses to choose from: Danish blue, Roquefort and Stilton, and if your a pizza lover, there is Italian Mozarella.
The toppings here are also quite different, you can choose baked beans which give it that breakfast tone to it. Personally I chose Portabello mushroom, as the common mushrooms in the far east are button mushrooms and shiitake, not the European stuff. Anyway the portobello mushroom tasted really good, much better than the one at Burger Joint which was sour as if it was drenched in vinegar.
As my burger was lamb I also opted for extra hummus for that meditarranean Kebab experience.
Then finally for my sauces, I picked the ones less served in other places which were Truffle cream and horseradish mayonnaise.
The burger was very neatly done, the toppings, ingredients, sauces were evenly laid out in the bun, makng it easy to eat with your hands.
The only thing that didnt work well, was that I picked too many sauces and toppings, so a bit hard to distinguish the tastes of the different elements. Tasted good overall.
But given so much choice its hard not to save that choice for the next visit.
The only topping that couldnt be ordered was the Calves liver, which is only served in The spotted pig signiature burger. So next time I will try that.

Earl grey froyo @ Berrygood
So cool everytime I come here, there is a surprise, rare flavours, this time Earl Grey, a tea flavour, a western version of Japanese green tea, except Earl grey has a better flavour.
Anyway looking forward to another flavour next time, something out of my mind.

Chocolate thunder @ Outback Steakhouse
Came here to spend the afternoon, not many people here, so ordered the Chocolate thunder.
Looking deadly sickly on the picture, it tasted nothing like that.
The warm moist cake was mixed in with nuts, giving it a lovely nutty texture, and with the chocolate sauce, ice-cream, and cream, it tasted heavenly, not sickly at all.
The best chocolate brownie in town.

Vietnamese sausage and prawn salad @ 山地人越南法包專門店 MR. Vietnamese Baguette House
Arrived at this baguette house, previously Toppings, was amazed how it had been redecorated.
It looks very green like a health shop, with pretty displays, and cute little bottles of their own branded fish sauce (not for retail).
Anyway ordered the Vietnamese sausage and prawn salad, and the baguette with abalone mushrooms to takeaway.
After a long journey home of bumps and humps, I was very surprised the baguette was still intact and the fillings had not fallen out.
For the salad, I was given three tubs of chilli vinegar, frankly two is sufficient.
Now to the food, the baguette was bursting with different tastes with every mouthful,
sometimes I could taste the black pepper, coriander, spring onion, then the meaty mushrooms, and then the sausage. However I couldnt taste the duck liver pate, the thing I was most looking forward to. Maybe I will order the liver toast next time.
As for the salad, the cabbage and carrots were sliced nice and thin, soaking up the sauce well, however the Jelly fish was cut in little squares. I would have preferred shredded jelly fish, which was be easier to fork out with the greens. Surprisingly I could taste some liver in the salad. I have the same opinion as FoodieWil that the salad tastes a little too sweet for my liking.
