Get your cholesterol pumping!

澳門新龍記 (Santo Antonio)

Macau is famous for noodles topped with delicious toppings especially crab roe.

This is one of the restaurants that is famous for them, the other one is 牛記咖喱美食 Estab De Comidas Ngao Keo Ka Lei Chon which I must try on my next visit.

I chose this place first because they had Silkie chicken noodles and the squid patties reviewed by many Hong Kongers.

The menu was quite extensive and there were too many items I wanted to try.


The decor of the restaurant was basically the same as the Hong Kong restaurants.

Salted lemon with sprite:
There were two big pieces of salted lemon in the cup which was sufficient to flavour the whole bottle of sprite.

I do not like sprite but the saltyness of the lemon got rid of the artificial taste of the sprite.
The saltyness of the drink was just lovely.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tossed noodles with crab roe:

The crab roe was really nice but too salty, the taste of crab was as its max, but after I finished it there was so much orange oil left on the plate so it is not very healthy.
It was pretty cheap for MOP23 which is approximately HKD$23.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tossed noodles with silkie chicken in wine:
As well as the noodles with crab roe, I was looking forward to this too because of the silkie chicken in hua dao wine.
The wine taste was lovely and strong and the noodles did not have the alkaline taste.
It would be great the chicken was not so bony.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Squid patties:
The squid patties were ok, but not as good as I expected them to be because the squid taste was weak, but after adding the chili oil to it, the patties were delicious.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chili oil sauce:
I was surprised the chili oil sauce was great because it had black beans in it giving it more flavour and not just spicyness.

Why is it called mousse when it is not mousse!

Crumbs (Jordan)

Walked past and noticed this Premium green tea mousse with green tea mochi so decided to try it.


At this branch you can dine there so the menu offers more variety than the other branches other which only offer froyo and scones.


I have tried their scones and froyo which were quite nice but not addictive enough to make me come back.

This branch only did takeaways according to the photos on Openrice.

Water is self service.

Premium green tea mousse:When I ordered it I was quite suspicious whether it was really mousse but the Chinese and English stated it was mousse so that was why I got it.

However when it arrived I was quite disappointed because it was not mousse, it was evidently a pudding so why call it mousse.


Luckily the dessert was ok and not too sweet and the mochi was nice.

Bittersweet obanyakis and green tea puffs

Sweets House Cha Cha (Tsim Sha Tsui)

Usually I am here for the soft serve but now they have custard puffs and obanyakis too.

When you come up from the elevators, you will see that Sweet House Cha Cha has three counters, one for soft serve, one for custard puffs and one for obanyakis.

They all had displays and easy to understand menus.






★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Green tea custard puff:
The custard puff had a crispier outer pastry compared to other puffs such as beard papa.
Inside the puff was lovely and cold green tea custard.

The green tea taste was grassy and I felt that it was a bit too bitter.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Matcha custard obanyaki:
The obanyaki was crisp on the outside because it was freshly made and the inner part was a bit chewy like mochi.

The green tea custard was sweeter than the one in the custard puff and also very bitter as well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
As a conclusion I liked both of them and its best to consume them straight away.

Delicious Japanese premium cookies

Thanks to Mjqueen7e for getting me these delicious cookies.

I am a fan of Arome bakery room and their products are nicely packaged and taste good.

The box was really nice with a handle on the top.


There are five flavours inside: cashew, charcoal and coconut, green tea, Okinawa brown sugar, and dark rye with walnut.



Each cookie is individually packaged.

The texture of each cookie was delicate and crumbles in your mouth.
My favourite flavours were the green tea, Okinawa brown sugar and the charcoal with coconut.
The charcoal with coconut had big chunks of coconut which gave it more mouth feel and the Okinawa sugar flavour had strong sugar flavour without being too sweet.
