The best dessert pot plant

After a great dinner, we just had to have dessert to complete the evening.
As I don't like Chinese desserts, MKK suggested this place and it turns out the desserts were brilliant.

I loved the decor and the upstairs was nice too.






Before we went in, there were some beautiful dessert pot plants in the cabinet.

There are three flavours: strawberry mousse, tiramisu and mango.

We had the tiramisu which was the best I have ever tasted.
Not only did it taste good but the presentation was good because it had a real flower that was pretty.



The tiramisu was divine because the cream was lightly whipped and the sponge cake was soaked heavily in alcohol.
The soil was creative because they did not use oreo cookies which most restaurants use.

We also had the chocolate pancakes which had layers and layers of thin chocolate pancake with cream in the middle.



I will definitely be back if I am in the area again.

Kale the new health hero

For those of you that are not familiar with KALE, Kale is a vegetable with frilly leaves that is high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, and rich in calcium. Kale is a source of two carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin.

It contains sulforaphane (particularly when chopped or minced), a chemical with potent anti-cancer properties.
Kale is said to boosts DNA repair in cells and appears to block the growth of cancer cells as well as lowering cholesterol and decrease absorption of dietary fat.[citation needed]

Quoted from Wiki, so if that's all true, then KALE is a real hero for our health.

Anyway, I kept seeing these delicious sliders on Facebook and salads from KALE so I was really excited for it to open. They are really creative because they have so many creations with kale such as kale biscotti, kale granola bars etc. 
When it finally opened I went there.

It is on the 13th Floor of Cheung's building near the Sheung Wan MTR.
When you enter the place, you are greeted with a lovely seaview and buildings nearby.

The stools are stylish because they look like unicycles.

The menu was simple and clear with a choice of sliders, dips, fries and drinks.


I went for the sliders, fries with a dip, wheatgrass shot and a drink.
It was really good that everything had Kale in it from fresh kale leaves to kale and pesto sauce.

[b]Sliders $28 each:[/b]
I chose three sliders: chicken, tofu and falafel.

 [b]Falafel slider:[/b]
The falafel slider was interesting because the falafel patty was moist and soft flavoured by lovely spices. There was pesto and kale sauce on top which gave it an amazing flavour.

[b]Chicken Slider:[/b]
The chicken slider was colourful and delicious topped with fresh kale and tomato and dressed with creamy avomayo sauce which was avocado and apple cider vinegar.

[b]Tofu Slider:[/b]
The tofu slider was my favourite because the piece of tofu was huge and tasty with cucumber, kale and tomato.

[b]Fries $35:[/b]

This was a mix of sweet potato and potatoes which were sweet and delicious that were garnished it with fried sweet potato skin on top for more flavour and a bed of kale.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
[b]Avocado hummus $25:[/b]
The avocado hummus was divine because the avocado gives it that smooth texture blended with chickpeas.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
[b]wheatgrass shot $38:[/b]
The wheatgrass shot was surprisingly good because I was expecting it to taste grassy but it's naturally sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
[b]Loco $45:[/b]
A blend of young coconut, tahini, dates and avocado
I really liked this because it had my favourite young coconut and avocado.
It was sweet, thick and delicious with pieces of young coconut in it.

Coming back soon for more sliders and drinks.

Organ world mania at Fei Jie

This joint serves chilled snacks which is a local haunt, whoever goes past is bound to queue up for a skewer.
As the queue is long, I have never bothered because I know that by time I get to the counter I don't know what I want because you don't have the menu in view until you get close to it.


There were only five people in the queue that day so I decided to give them a go.
Within a flash I was at the counter but I didn't really know what I wanted.
After quickly scouring the cabinet I wanted the octopus, small intestines and the turkey gizzards.

Luckily, they had a set which had all three.






★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Trio:


In the set, there was turkey gizzard, octopus and small intestines.


The sauces they put on it were mustard and Chinese sweet sauce which went surprisingly well together with the mustard sauce giving it that lovely sharp kick.
Overall I liked the octopus because it was springy and tender.
I didn't really like the chicken gizzard because it was too springy and crisp.
The small intestines were ok but not the best.

Afternoon buffet at The Market

Previously tried the buffet before and the food was amazing but booking a table is extremely difficult because this place is seriously popular!!
Now they do afternoon buffets at $298 per adult so I tried reserving a table.
Saturdays were quite full so I ended up going on a Sunday.

When I got there, I was greeted with a Cupcake tower:

There were cream puffs as well as Malaysian durian desserts.

My favourite desserts:

Finger snacks:

Chinese options including prawn toasts, roast pork puffs, spring rolls etc.



Hong Kong Style Milk Tea:

Peking Duck:


Grilled toast with Kaya:

Here is a glimpse of what I had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Delicious peking duck.

Seafood congee with preserved egg.

Freshly made souffle delivered to your table.

Japanese seafood pancake filled with chives and seafood


Finger sandwiches

Chinese pork chop bun!!

Har gau

Roast pork puff

They also have a noodle station where you pick your noodles and toppings and have it ready at your table by giving them the table number keyring as shown below.

After all that I was full and started on desserts.

Lemon and lime sorbet

The Kaya toast was amazing, it was fluffy and crispy with a delicious kaya paste on top.
