Magic volcano at Labmade

Came here because of the Volcanic dessert:

When you order, they will prepare the volcano!!

They crush some dry ice to put in the volcano.


After that, they pour some hot sauce in the volcano which causes the eruption due to the temperature difference.




The dessert was a bit too rich for me because it was made of truffle and not cake.

What's your cocktail portrait?

I don't normally drink but I was captivated by their cocktail portrait because it sounded interesting.


At first I thought it was gimmick and some sort of art but it turns out to be a personalized cocktail to suit your palate.


Before they make you the drink, you are given some carbonated water to cleanse your palate which I thought was brilliant.


You are then given a form to tick so that the cocktail stylist can get an idea of the sort of drink you are looking for.



Although mine was a mocktail, I loved the taste, it was wonderful and just how I liked it because it had notes of sweet strawberry and refreshing lime which were the sours that I was looking for.
There was also cream, fig and a hint of chili to smooth it out with some excitement.

This was the drink that my friend was impressed with as well which had notes of pineapple, cream, banana and passionfruit.



As well as the drinks, the bar was lovely and cozy too!

twenty grains? 甘味讚岐手打烏冬

Went here before a movie so had a quick dinner.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
stir fried beef with twenty grain:



This dish wasn't outstanding and beneath the beef you could see about three different types of rice so I wonder why it is called twenty grains!!

Soup:

The soup was tasteless.

My favourites were the nougats while the others were fighting over the Chinese treats.
The treats were gone in a flash and I was left with an empty firecracker which is a great box to store things.

McDonald's Sticky sweet Shogan burger

I was not impressed with this burger because it looked like it had been in an accident.
Sauce was everywhere, all over the burger and wrapper.


The taste wasn't good because it tasted like eating a dessert burger because the sauce was just sweet.

Captivated by their Chiuchow style fried rice at 曉廚軒香港風味

Came here because the previous review had pictures of delicious fried rice which had Chinese pickled olive vegetables 欖菜 in it.



When I got there, it was NOT ON THE MENU
LUCKILY I showed them the picture from openrice and they were able to ask the chef to serve it
Decided to get the set which had soup.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fish maw and whelk soup:




The soup tasted ok but the ingredients were crap especially the fish maw which was fishy and the whelk was a bit mushy and didn't taste fresh.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
潮式欖菜炒飯:

The fried rice was good because the rice was al-dente and loose with tasty pickled Chinese olive vegetables in every spoonful.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
PLEASE NOTE that pickled Chinese olive vegetables is name made up by me because I couldn't google the English for 欖菜!!!!
