Confusing menu and rude service @ Aunt Stella's

Went in because the set they displayed outside seemed quite nice and reasonable for the price but when I sat down the price was different and she kept explaining it was for the cake set only.
The display outside was wrong and misleading because they displayed the pie in the cake set which was cheaper.

Anyway ordered the orange yoghurt pie set with coffee and the waitress stomped back to the kitchen because I was confused about the pricing and sets.
If see the set on the right, it would seem that a coffee and the orange yogurt pie would cost $31

coffee:
I do not like coffee but the coffee here was quite nice, it was a pity the cream that was given was cold because it lowered the temperature of the coffee, however the cream that was given was nice and made the coffee taste nice.

orange yoghurt pie:
There was not much yoghurt which was disappointing and it seemed more like a tart than a pie. On top of the pie it was topped with baked orange slices with the peel as well.

Hopefully their attitude is not so rude next time because I want to try the toast with cheese and seaweed.

Consistency test @ 牛魔王清湯腩咖哩專門店

Came here again for their stir fried macaroni which is only served during afternoon tea.
It tasted nice last time so I ordered it again.

The staff were more efficient this time because this shop has been opened for quite a few months.
The items were entered correctly on the bill.

Stir fried macaroni with luncheon meat:
When it arrived it looked darker than last time, the macaroni was much wetter because there was more sauce.
The taste was much stronger this time and I could evidently taste Maggie sauce.
The onions were not sliced properly but the portion was bigger than last time.
The luncheon meat was a bit disappointing because some of it was rancid and some of it came from a new can.

Barley and ginger drink:
This tasted as good as my first visit, however there was a piece of lemon which was not there last time.

I hope next time they can be consistent.

Vanilla cake mille feuille @ New Phoenix cake shop

I got the cake mille feuille.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cake mille feuille:
It had dry white brittle cream on top which was quite artificial.
The rest of the cake was just so-so, it was cake sandwiched in between some flakey pastry layers.
The sweetness was just right, but this cake was not really my cup of tea.

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.
