All you can eat Japanese in the heart of MK at 吉壽日本料理

Went here for the all you can eat which is literally in the heart of MK because it is right outside exit E of the MTR Station.
It costs $198 per person which is the average price in MK.

The drinks are self service and there was a good variety in the fridges.
As a tea lover I chose Ceylon tea.

We started with sashimi which was neatly presented.

The sushi and rolls selection was impressive.

There was a nice variety of flame grilled options and they had sushi with truffle as well.


The grilled selection was also ok and my favourite was the chicken wings.

The seafood milk broth was delicious because the broth was creamy infused with seafood taste.
It was interesting they had squid tentacles in it.

The stir fried beef with sugar beans was classic because there was a nice oyster sauce taste with fragrant onions.

The fried selection was standard with the usual oysters, prawn and fish.


To finish off, we had the milk pudding which came with a really cute tiny ceramic spoon.
The pudding was silky with a creamy taste that was not too sweet.

Beans and carrots at La Rotisserie

Every time I walk past this place, I am always captivated by that delicious smell of roast chicken.

This time I could not resist their roast potatoes.

Roast potatoes with beans and carrots:


As usual, the roast potatoes are perfectly roasted with a soft fluffy centre and a tasty potato skin.
The beans were slightly chewy and dry but the baby carrots were sweet with a hint of butter.

The vanishing Christmas Tree from Honey Creme

Walked past and saw the new softserve so decided to get it because it was colourful.


First they brush the edges of the cup with green syrup which is probably mint.

Then they pour chocolate and cocoa on the softserve.

After that they put candyfloss on top.



More syrup on top followed by crushed candy canes.


This was my favourite out of all the ones I have tried because the chocolate sauce and the softserve go really well together and the overall taste is not too sweet.
The candyfloss got in the way at the beginning so I only had a bit and disposed of it.

Blesscuit Toffee cookies

Thanks to mungkk for getting me these toffee cookies made with French seasalt and chocolate bits.
They were crumbly and buttery with delicious bits of chocolate that melted when you ate them.


Golden E-Ticket to Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe

After experiencing the lovely food forest at the Mandarin Oriental, I received a golden ticket from Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe so I was really chuffed.
If you have been watching Heston's shows, you would know how exciting it is to get a golden ticket.

When I arrived I was greeted with champagne and chocolates.

The dark chocolate mint pyramid tasted amazing and the apple truffle was delicious.
As well as chocolates I tried many other sweets that were behind the counter including black death which is the sourest sweet you could ever try, but it has a sweet ending to it.

There were Christmas carols that night.

Sushi time at 爭鮮外帶壽司

I was still hungry so got some ready to eat sushi from this place.
The tuna was tasty and fresh and the yuzu and scallop were really nice because the yuzu seasoning is really refreshing with a hint of pepper to it.

Trinidadian Black Rum and Fruit cake dessert at Mandy's Private Kitchen

Found out on their FB that they have this new dessert so went in to try it.
As well as dessert I am tempted by their Christmas and Boxing day menu because it only costs $3xx per person which is a really good deal compared to those foul tasting places charging $6XX per person just because it is Christmas.

There is Turkey on the menu and a very special turkey because it is Jerk Turkey served with roast potatoes!!!!

Anyway, the dessert I had was the Trinidadian Black Rum and Fruit cake dessert which is served with hot berry sauce and ice cream.
The fruit in it is fermented for 3 months in rum and sherry.

You can buy the cakes or you can dine there.

There are several sizes for takeaway which are nicely wrapped up:
2lb $250, 1lb $150, and 1/2lb $80.

Hot sorrel punch with lime:

It was my first time having it hot and the taste was different because it was more refreshing and the lime taste was stronger.

Trinidadian Black Rum and Fruit cake:
Normally it is served with icecream but I requested for cream because I didn't want the sweetness of the icecream to overpower anything.

Before trying the cake, I tried the hot berry sauce which I thought was hot in temperature but it was hot as in spicy hot.
It was not too fiery but it gave a nice kick to the cake while the cream toned it down.


The cake itself was firm and moist with a strong rum taste and you've just got to dine there because the cream and hot berry sauce are the best compliments.
