Wholesome veggie juices made by Veggie Boys

I love the concept at Veggie Boys because it is young and fun.


At the juice joint, all the vegetables and fruits are neatly stored in the fridge.


On the wall, there is a juice selection.



The juices are made to order so you will see the boys weighing the required amount before the vegetables are blended.



Since my first visit, the prices have gone up.


Each juice has a different nourishing property.
I chose the SKIN which had pineapple, apple, avocado and romaine lettuce.

The bill was only $2 Thanks to Ivy because she bought a package of prepaid coupons so if you choose something that costs more then you pay the difference.


I adored this drink because it was lovely and thick, the juices did not separate and held together all the way through.
As for the taste, the avocado was really prominent which was why I liked it with faint notes of apple and pineapple that balanced out the creamy and heaviness of the avocado.

Overall I was impressed by the drink and their enthusiasm.

Dreamy pure white marshmallows

Thanks to Wanttoeat for getting me these marshmallows which are made by Ling.



★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Marshmallows:


Each one was pretty and uniquely shaped like meringue kisses.
The texture was bouncy and soft with a delicious strong vanilla taste just like the marshmallow flumps that you can buy.
I really liked these homemade marshmallows because the sweetness was just right with lots of gelatin and there are no artificial colours in it.

Hoping to see other flavours such as Earl Grey.

Consistently delicious vegetarian rolls at sooo vegi

Came here for a quick fix before the Durian tasting event held by openrice.
Since my last visit, Sooo Vegi has had so many interviews with the media.

I had the rolls because it was hard eating hot food in the hot weather outside.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mexican roll:

The roll was wrapped with avocado, vegetarian meat sauce, kidney beans, purple onions, sour cream and tomato sauce.
It was consistently delicious as the first time I tried it because it was packed with flavours.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
American roll:

The roll had a vegetarian frank which tasted like the normal ones and there was coleslaw which was refreshing and gave it a nice crunch.

A colourful and nourishing dinner at Azure

Met up with a BBC to have dinner here and found out that it was Azure Restaurant Slash Bar's 8th anniversary hence the special menu.

The menu is colourful and artistic because they have invited street artists and local artists to celebrate on the day.

It is a 4 course set dinner at $588 per person which is served from now until 30th September 2014.

For celebration drinks, there are lots of choices all paired with Absolut Vodka.

My friend has the Absolut pineapple Martini which had Absolut vodka, syrup, fresh pineapple garnished with pineapple.

As a tea lover, I had the Rose Bowl which had earl grey tea in it.
It was made with Absolut citron, earl grey tea, lemon juice, raspberry syrup and garnished with a strawberry sliced like a rose.

I loved this drink because you could taste the earl grey tea as well as the raspberry.

Started off with bread which wass warm, crusty and soft inside.

It was paired with a delicious trio of butters.

From left to right: herbs, truffle and tomato.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Started off with the Compostelle ceviche which is Citrus marinated Hokkaido scallop with chilled tomato tea.

This was light to start off with.
Beneath the scallops was tangy cooling tomato tea.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Then came the Big Apple which was soup.
There was finely chopped celery and radish slices in the bowl and the soup is poured infront of you.





I was really looking forward to this soup because it is healthy and therapeutic!

Apple and celery cannot go wrong.
The soup was made with Granny Smith green apples which are slightly tart hence the addition of some sweet apples. It was like drinking warm apple puree with crunchy bits of celery.
Surprisingly, the soup was rather filling and light because it does no contain any cream, nor was it too sweet or sour.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
For the mains, there was a choice of salmon, quinoa (vegetarian) or tenderloin.
I felt that salmon and Quinoa were the best choices.

Norwegian sea:
Sous vous salmon, ink rice cracker, lemon gel, shiso and plum juice

There was no hesitation choosing the sous vous salmon because when it is cooked that way it brings the best taste of salmon.

As expected, the salmon was so soft and silky that it melts in your mouth and the shiso and plum juice beneath it gave it a pretty colour beneath it as well as a complementing zesty taste to it.

On top of the salmon it was garnished with a black squid ink rice cracker which was tasty as well.

Green pleasure
Quinoa, roasted vegetables, radish, walnuts And Greek yoghurt

The presentation of this was beautiful with quinoa either side.
I tried some of the Quinoa and it was soft and tasty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Bubbles time
Champagne strawberry macaron

Finished off with a fun dessert, it was a glass of strawberry foam which was bubbly and viscous made with strawberries and champagne.

The ganache in the macaron was infused with champagne.
I loved the macaron because you could really taste the champagne in the chewy ganache.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

I was impressed from the beginning to end, everything was colourful, simple, delicious and healthy.
It was my third time here and I still love it!
Definitely a great girls night out!

Azure Restaurant Slash Bar

All you can eat Japanese food

Kaneda has been in operation for at least ten years because when I went to hong kong for holidays, the locals would take me there.

There are no reviews by me at this branch because I did not write reviews back then, however when they started a second branch in Wanchai I reviewed that one.

It is good that they have new items compared to ten years ago and the ordering sheets are in a better format.


Here was what we had:

The fried section had a nice variety of choices including cheese mochi, potato wedges and oyster cutlets.

There was seafood tempura and vegetable tempura as well.


In the sushi section, the seared salmon was my favourite and the soft shell avocado rolls.


There were handrolls too which we did not try.

For sashimi, the abalone slices, tuna is also worth trying because they were fresh and tasty.

Then we tried the cooked items.

The stir fried vegetables had a nice hint of freshly cracked black pepper.


For salads, there was tofu, duck salad and burdock.



For carbs, I had the soba noodles which were refreshing.

For dessert, they have mochi icecream which comes in various flavours.

They also have fruit sorbets as well.


Mondays to Thursday are cheaper so these are the days to come!!!
