Apple cream pie @ Little Mermaid Bakery

Got this because I like apple and puff pastry.

Apple cream pie:

Visually it looked nothing like an apple pie even though it was labelled apple cream pie.
It actually looked like a sausage roll.

I was hoping it would taste like an apple turnover which has apples and cream inside but there was no cream inside.
From the labelling it said there was crispy apple and hokkaido cream custard cream inside it.

Overall I found it too sweet especially the custard which was slightly sickly.
If they had used unsweetened cooking apples it would have balanced out the sweetness.
The puff pastry was slightly too buttery.

Toast with malt sugar @ Hokkaido Dairy Farm

Toast with malt sugar:

The malt sugar was runnier than expected. I thought it would be the same as the Chinese malt syrup which is really thick.
Anyway the malt taste was not that strong, but the toast was lovely and thick and tasted nice with the sweet malt syrup.
It would have been good if there was ice-cream as well.
I am not sure if this toast is buttered but I asked for it unbuttered just incase.

Pizza Hut: Tuscani pizza series Portobello Passion

Aftering trying the BBQ Sausage Bonanza pizza from the TUSCANI range, this time I decided to try the Portobello passion.

I just ordered the pizza on its own, arrived and the pizza was ready to collect, they even open the pizza box infront of you to show that you have the right pizza before you go.

Portobello passion:

As expected, it tasted nicer than the BBQ Bonanza because it was not so sweet as there was no bbq sauce or tomato sauce.
However it was slightly burnt and the portobello mushrooms went dark easily.

On the pizza there were evident pieces of camembert. I was surprised the middle part did not melt.

The Tuscani pizza base was chewy and not crispy and hard like the regular ones.

The pizza was really delicious because mushrooms and chicken always taste good together.
Although it was made with pesto sauce, it tasted like Rosemary and there was no pesto taste..
The texture of the camembert was slightly hard and the surface looked like it had been grilled because I was expecting the centre to be creamy and runny but it was like grilled burnt cheese.
