Delicious young coconut jelly @ 泰冬蔭 Thai Tom Yum

Noticed this tiny joint that sells Thai food at North Point market.
It reminded me of Ra Cha Moo Yang.
As there was no where to sit, I just got the desserts.

There were quite a lot of desserts but I chose the yellow pea dumpling and coconut jelly.

Yellow pea dumpling:
When I opened the box, there was a really pungent smell, the yellow peas were slightly off, but there was a small sachet of sugar with sesame and coconut to go with this because the dumpling itself is not sweet.
Apart from the smell it tasted ok, it was similar to the Chinese zhongzhi's with the yellow peas.

coconut jelly:
The jelly tasted the best, the texture of the jelly was soft.
On top of the jelly there were pieces of young coconut but it was green because of the colouring.
Overall I would get it again but I felt it was a tad too sweet.

Seaweed noodles @ Hong Kong Canteen

If these noodles were not spicy, I would definately try it!!
I think the name said seaweed noodles anyway.

For the other afternoon tea sets I was quite surprised the choices were  not Hong Kong style for a HK style restaurant, but they were Taiwanese and Korean instead!

Big Slice of Pizza served in a ▼gular shaped box

Previously this joint used to Uncle Hiros, anyway now they sell big slices of pizzas.
Every time I came past the pizzas looked rather burnt so I did not get it.

This time I walked past the pizzas looked OK but the display cabinet was not a heated one, so the pizza was reheated when I ordered it.

There were about five flavours ranging from $30-$40 per slice.
For $45 you can choose any slice of pizza which includes a drink and 2 chicken wings.
Before the pizza is the made, the pieces of dough are carefully cut into smaller pieces and weighed.
The pizza box was rather neat, it was triangular shaped to fit the individual slices.

Chicken tikka pizza:
The chicken tikka taste was not that strong, but the herbs were nice and strong.
There was lots of tomato sauce on the pizza, which was good, and the cheese was just right.
The chicken was slightly dry though.

Chicken wings:
They did not look as good as the product shot. They looked paler.
They were quite spicy but they were slightly dry and tasted unfresh.
