Milk chocolate Strawberry by GODIVA

Thanks to siuyeadragon for this bar of strawberry milk chocolate.


It was really nice and every bite had crispy strawberry pieces in it.
The strawberry pieces tasted natrual.

Mrs Fields Christmas cookies 2014

Thanks to All Gain International for this Christmas jar of cookies.

(Moose Plastic Cookie Jar)
Inside there are six cookies.

As usual, these cookies were soft and chewy, the chocolate one was my favourite because I love the chocolate chips.

FABCAFE X Urban Bakery

I am not a fan of their croissants because they taste too buttery but I went to the popup stall at Hysan place to get a gift for my friend.

With any purchase, you get a chance to design something if you are lucky.

Luckily, I got the 2D gift ornament which allows you to design something to be printed with the purchase of a gingerbread man.

(FORGOT TO TAKE PIC) but it was the gingerbread man that has bones on it looking like the character from the film SCREAM.
If I had been advised that the thin pen strokes wouldn't print out so well, I would have made them thicker.

Anyway, here it is being printed out, the white line of dots are the lasers in action.

Finished product.

Weird pizza at Kravin Cafe

Stopped by because the tea selection looked promising.

Unfortunately the food wasn't that good.

Tried the pizza and pasta.
On the other menu, the English name for the pizza was naan.

Chicken and cashew pizza:


The pizza base was meant to be naan according to the English menu but it was actually puff pastry.
Puff pastry is fine as long the toppings taste nice but they were SWEET.
Luckily it was a small pizza which didn't take up my appetite to eat other stuff elsewhere.

Mexican spaghetti bolognaise:

The spaghetti was already precooked so it was just microwaved with the sauce on top.
I didn't like the sauce because it was watery and tasteless. There were kidney beans to make it look like Mexican food but it lacked Mexican spices.

Christmas burger at Texas Burger

Went here during the Xmas period.


Tried the new lamb burger and the PP burger.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chocolate trilogy:

Started off with the chocolate trilogy milkshake which had a rich chocolate taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pulled lamb burger:


The lamb burger was really good because it was pulled pieces of lamb with melted cheese on top, a great alternative to pulled pork but I have liked more cheese on top.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
PP burger:

This was my favourite because PP stands for Portobello mushroom and Prosciutto.
The prosciutto was a nice surprise because it was crispy and delicious and the portobello mushroom was juicy and earthy.

A lovely light burger that is not totally vegetarian but people who are not fond of meat will probably fall for this.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Camembert wedges with strawberry sauce:


The camembert wedges were gooey and stringy inside like mozzarella cheese with a light camembert taste.

A swing of Italian flair at the WTC at No.5 Italian

Tried this restaurant because it was a new branch of the No.5 Italian at Tai Hang.

The environment was modern and comfortable with a nice seaview.




Started off with bread which was held in a flour bag.

Then we had juicy grilled portobello mushrooms with cheese and sweet balsamic vinegar.

It was followed by a creative plate of caramel apple salad.
The apples were sweet with a fragrant buttery taste.

After that we had toast with Iberian ham and white truffle.
The saltiness of the Iberian ham went well with the white truffle.

Next was my favourite because the pizza had ham and fig which was scrumptious, the amount of ham on the pizza was generous.

For the main course we had linguine in creamy white truffle sauce which I felt was too creamy.

Then we had Silician red prawn risotto which was my favourite because it was flavourful with chunks of prawn and asparagus in the risotto.


Last but not least the beef cheek with parpadelle was marvellous because the beef cheek was extremely soft and gelatinous and the parpadelle hung that delicious sauce on it.

Grilled mochi pancake from 明華餅家

Thanks to Mungkk for getting me this.
I don't often buy from Chinese bakeries so I probably miss out on some good items.

The thing I had was like a mochi pancake filled with custard and slightly grilled.
It was not too sweet and interesting to eat.
