GOD x Maxim's Egg Rolls

Thank you Mjqueen7e for getting me these egg rolls.

Usually I only see these egg rolls during Chinese New Year, but Maxim's and GOD have come up with a smaller pack which can be eaten as a snack anytime of the year.

The packaging is bright yellow and nice.

Oolong Tea Candy @ cha FOR TEA

Shop: cha FOR TEA
Thank you IVYCWK for getting me these Oolong Tea candies.


They were from the new branch in Sheung Wan.
I really like this new branch because it is much more accessible compared to the one at Hysan Place where you have to take numerous escalators to get up there.

Oolong tea candy:
The candies are green and have a leaf imprinted on it.
The taste of these candies were delicious and not syrupy.
It was surprising you can actually taste the tea and it also tasted powdery like the powder they use to make tea.
There was some slight bitterness from the tea.

Gigantic sized croissants, hotdogs and sandwiches

Gloria Jean's Coffees:
3/F, Macau Ferry Terminal and Helport, Porto Exterior

This was not on my eat list for the Macau trip but I happened to be hungry so I just grabbed the croissant for a light snack.

This coffee joint is easily missed because when you arrive in Macau, the first thing you want to do is get to where your going.

It is probably discovered by people leaving Macau when they have missed their ferry and bored waiting.

Their hotdog was rather cute, it was labelled HOT CAT

When I was choosing what to eat, I was shocked by the sizes of the hotdogs, sandwiches and croissants.
You have to physically see them to or you won't believe how big they are.

Huge croissant:




The croissant was heated, but it was not that warm in the centre.
It tasted quite nice and the taste of the croissant was quite buttery.

As well as Macau they have Gloria Jean's Coffees in Singapore as well.

Basic Instinct at Hotpot Instinct

Shop: Hotpot Instinct (North Point)

Came here with some fellow foodies who were trying this place.


Before you start your hotpot, there are about nine condiments and vinegars for you to mix your desired sauce.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Deep fried salt and pepper salmon:
Quite nice but too salty.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken testees:
These were the biggest I have seen in all the restaurants I have tried.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Squid ink noodles:
As well as squid ink they had salmon.
The texture of these noodles were very foamy and light, however the squid taste was not strong.




★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Carrot and sugarcane drink:


The sweetness was just right but the raw carrot taste was extremely strong, so not for people who do not like raw carrots.

My Ramen @ Hakata Ippudo

Shop: Hakata Ippudo

Went to Ippudo for a light meal and chose My Ramen.

My Ramen basically lets you choose the broth, type of noodles and extras.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
My Ramen:

I chose the Bonito and pork broth with hakkata noodles.
This option is quite good if you do not eat meat.
The noodles were hard just as I requested and the Bonito and pork broth complemented it nicely.
There was pickled ginger and crushed garlic to enhance the noodles too.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

There is a promotion at the moment and you get a sticker for the designated noodle ordered, once the stamp card is filled you can get a free Ramen.
Terms and conditions please see the stamp card.

Indonesian sweet delights

Restaurant: Padang Indonesia Restaurant (Causeway Bay)

I love the Indonesian sweets here and they are labelled.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pandan Katam Hitam:


It is a two coloured cake made from glutinous rice.
This cake was really nice, it was chewy, and a slightly sticky texture from using glutinous rice rather than normal flour.
The texture was very similar to a sweet malt loaf, but not so dense and chewy with gorgeous pandan and glutinous rice flavouring.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Kue serabi:


I thought the bun would be filled inside but it was solid and it comes with a tub of coconut sauce.
I tried it without the sauce and you can taste the pandan but the bun is not sweet.


It was slightly savoury but after you dip it in the coconut sauce it tastes nicer and the more sauce you dip, the sweeter it is.

BBQ pork bun @ Taipan Bread & Cakes

Taipan Bread & Cakes is located right next to Wing Wah Bakery on the basement floor of Metro City.


Contemplated in getting a custard bun covered with wheatgerm or a BBQ pork bun but the Custard bun was quite hard in texture when I picked it up with tongs so I chose the BBQ pork bun.

BBQ pork bun:


The bread was sweet as usual because it is the Chinese style bun.
The filling inside was quite nice and not too sweet, the barbecue pork was lean.
