Spicy fried chicken drumsticks @ McDonald's

I love fried chicken and McDonald's finally have fried chicken legs but they are spicy.

Their chicken wings are spicy too and I find them not substantial enough.
I hesitated about getting the chicken drumsticks because I was quite sure it would have the same chili in it.

However I walked past and someone was eating it and it seemed that it only had black pepper so surely it wouldnt contain chili as well as black pepper.

Anyway I tried it.

Fried chicken drumsticks:
I was surprised it was a whole chicken leg, the thigh bone had been removed so it only had the drumstick bone in it.
The Msg in the chicken was so strong that after one bite I needed water. The chicken had been freshly cooked hence the temperature of the chicken was really really hot.
As for the coating, it tasted like over cooked tempura which is denser and cracker like.
Unfortunately I found the coating too spicy to the extent that everything else tasted bitter.
The rest of the food tasted how they should ie the fries and nuggets.

Pandan swiss roll rolling all da way

Pandan swiss roll:
The cake tasted similar to the paper wrapped cakes with a lovely pandan flavour and cream in between it.
Overall it was really nice and filling.

Sweet slushy melon refresher @ Sweety Garden

Tried to come here two times before but the first time when they were in Jordan they had just relocated.
I tried again this summer but they were in the middle of being filmed so decided to try it later.
The new branch is located near the DNA mall on the corner which stands out because it is bright pink.

Anyway, thanks to Sweety Garden for inviting me and I was able to try their desserts finally.

It was really nice of them to let me invite IVY so that I could share the slushy melon, otherwise it would be too much if I had it to myself.
The decor in this dessert joint is really nice too matched by their menu and their dessert items.

Dessert platter:
This was a platter of three desserts: chocolate pudding, molten chocolate and orange cake and vanilla icecream.
The shape of the vanilla icecream was a perfect sphere.
Out of the three I loved the molten chocolate and orange cake because in other dessert houses it is just plain chocolate and with the orange flavouring it had more depth to it.
The chocolate pudding was served in a cute cup and was smooth and silky and not too sweet.

Melon slush:
Apart from melon there are other fruits to choose from such as watermelon, apple (served in a dragonfruit), papaya, coconut etc.
The melon is seasonal so it depends what melon they have at that time.
The melon that I had was honeydew melon which was lovely and sweet, the melon was grounded with milk to make this lovely slush tower.
The liquid in the slush goes to the bottom, so the top is quite solid and the base is slushier than the top.
After you finished eating the slushy melon, there is real melon fruit in the melon which is already sliced and convenient to spoon out.

Once again thanks for Sweety Garden for their delicious desserts especially the melon slush because I really wanted to try that.

Chinese goose brain terrine!


 
鵝腦凍是多年前的得獎名菜, 水晶入面的鵝腦當然是甘香的重點; 不過外面的水晶啫喱層是由鵝骨拗的清湯製作而成, 所以就算啖一口啫喱也吃出鵝的羶香味道, 風味一絕。
