Marshmallow toast at Metropolitan Cafe

As usual the staff here are rude and carefree.

I came here for the S'mores which was crushed peanuts, chocolate chips and marshmallows in a toast.





The S'mores was a bit too sweet for my liking and there wasn't enough marshmallows in it.
The toast that they used was not fresh because the texture was dry, hard and chewy.

Singaporean tea time at Cedele

Previously tried Cedele in Sheung Wan which offers pastas, burgers, sandwiches and cakes.

The branch at Elements is slightly different because it is more casual and laid back.

They offer sandwiches:

Drinks:

Hot options:

Salads:

There is a self service bread corner with olive oil and basalmic vinegar.
(They have paper bags for people who are not dining there).

Here was what I had:

Shroom flatbread:

Tried the shroom flatbread which was filled with cheese, mushrooms, lettuce and peppers.
It was nice and light for lunch.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pork belly and salad:



The pork belly was not crisp enough but the pickled cabbage that came with it was really nice.
You also get to choose two salads so I chose potato salad and the tofu beans salads.
For the tofu beans salad there was only one piece of tofu on the plate.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mushroom soup:

The mushroom soup was creamy and earthy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Apple and pumpkin soup:

The apple and pumpkin soup was really nice because the apple was quite strong and refreshing.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Portobello mushroom quiche:

The quiche was delicious because there were lots of pieces of mushrooms in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chocolate berry cheesecake:

The berry cheesecake was balanced nicely with chocolate cake in the middle which made it less heavy.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pandan cake:
natural pandan sponge cake sandwiched between own made egg custard, pandan frosting finished with fragrant coconut shreds. Unrefined sugar and grapeseed oil used.


The pandan cake was really fancy which makes it different to the chiffon ones because it had a lovely strong taste and smell of pandan.
In the middle the kaya paste and the coconut shreds topping on top made it more coconutty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pandan woopie:

The pandan woopie was also gorgeous, it was dense pandan cake sandwiched with kaya paste in the middle.

Public scandal at Public

Public (Tai Koo)

The food looked good but in reality it was bad!

Public has pretentious decor and it is located in the East end of Hong Kong which is nothing compared to lovely central and the IFC building which I believe they are trying to pretend to be.

I was tempted by the churros but it does not come with sauce which is pathetic.
Churros are normally served with sauce.
The size is a bit weird too or maybe they are meant to be donuts and not churros!!

The salad was tasteless and it was weird they put pieces of baguettes in it to go soggy.





The curry which looked promising was disappointing because the stupid rice was bloody Pearl rice and not Indian Rice.

As the curry was good I had Naan on another visit but that was crap too because it was dense and not risen properly.

Kee Wah's traditional preserved sausages

It's drawing near winter finally, so if you're a local, it is time for hotpots, snake soup and preserved sausages.
At Kee Wah, they have traditional sausages.




The history in making Kee Wah's sausages.

The sausages make great gifts to overseas relatives because they have English and Chinese instructions.
Both sausages had fragrant Chinese wine in it which you could smell when they were being steamed and when they were ready to eat.
Personally I prefer liver sausages because I love that rich taste with pieces of liver infused with fragrant wine that is really strong .
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chinese sausages:


Delicious with plain steamed rice and soy sauce.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Duck liver sausages:





The liver sausages taste even better steamed in soy sauce.

Green Lantern burger : Justice league at Hong Kong's McDonalds

After the launch of the Batman burger and Superman burger, they have now launched the Green Lantern burger.

The last launch was a bit lame because they have paired the Green Lantern with Flash, there is no new drink except for the soup which does not come in any specially designed bowl.

Here is the Green Lantern box.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Green Lantern burger :
Basically it was a potato (hash brown) and beef.


Inside, there was bacon, hash brown, beef patty, honey mustard sauce and sweet black pepper sauce.

Depending how much sauce will affect how sweet the burger is going to be.
I found it really messy to eat and there was no wow factor because it was just a breakfast burger with a beef patty added.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Flash:

These were Potato wedges which were the usual ones with a flavoured coating and a fluffy centre.

White chocolate mousse cake from Arome Bakery

Tried this cake from Saint Honore which was only $24.

The thing on the side was marshmallow but the colour was really artificial.

It was light white chocolate mousse on the outside coated with dessicated coconut filled with tart berries.

Overall it was a cheap and tasty cake.
