It was visually prettier and tasted better.
The tart was the usual crumbly short crust base with a layer of chocolate, cream, a small piece of cake topped with glazed pieces of melon on top.
I liked it because it tasted natrual with cream and melon.

Arome bakery melon tart
After trying the melon dessert cup, I got the melon tart the next day.
It was visually prettier and tasted better.

Foo Lum Fishman's Wharf Restaurant
Gathered with friends to have some seafood and Chinese dishes here.
On the menu, they have monthly specials and the Canadian lobster with noodles was on promotion for $88 (the normal price is $218).
Here was what we had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Canadian lobster with e-fu noodles in cheese sauce
The portion was big with noodles covered in thick sauce topped with lobster pieces.
Each piece of lobster was succulent and the cheese sauce was creamy with a mild cheese flavouring.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Dalian abalone steamed with fruit peel $128
The abalone was springy and the fruit peel flavour made them appetizing.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Straw mushrooms, sea cucumber and prawn roe pot $88
There were lots of straw mushrooms compared to the sea cucumber in a rich gravy flavoured by the prawn roes.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steamed razor clams $196
The clams were springy with a strong garlic taste and the glass vermicelli was really tasty because it has absorbed all the flavouring from the clams and flavourings.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steamed scallops $176
The scallops were steamed the same way as the razor clams topped with garlic and glass vermicelli.
Personally I liked the scallops more because it has a sweeter taste and softer texture,
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Clams in salt and pepper broth $88
The clams were plump and juicy and the broth had a lovely peppery taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Roasted pigeon
This was a classic, there was soft pigeon meat beneath the crispy skin.
r★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Wintermelon soup
Finished the meal with this nourishing wintermelon soup.
It was decorated with seafood with a huge chunk of wintermelon that is mushy and healthy to eat.

Blisshive cookies
Thanks to foodie mungkk for getting me these cookies.
I have always wanted to try something here but there are too many good places in Tai Hang.
These cookies were crumbly and buttery.

Make your five senses pop!~
Apart from Art Basel and Central arts fair you can also see some of the works exhibited at The Popsy Room.
It is a multi sensory gallery, by day it is an art exhibition and at night, it is a dining adventure with using various mediums, including sounds, sights tastes and aromas.
The current dining adventure features Zai Zai, which is on until 2nd May.
My favourite installation was the tall drawers that represent Zai Zai.
In each drawer, there is an item that represents her.
This is a great experience for people to be legally nosy!
I really enjoyed this experience so I hope to go to the next exhibition because they said it will be skulls and ribbons.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The Alter of Zai Zai Balik
Salmon with Curried Quinoa, Salmon Roe, Lemon Cream Fraiche.
It was nice having curried Quinoa because I liked the strong flavours which was calmed down by the cool cream fraiche.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Circus We Have All Watched Together
Orange Ginger Corn Soup, Piquillo Puree, Baby Corn
Next was the warming soup with a gentle sweet taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The Alter of Zai Zai
Seared Scallop, Lobster Cream, Asparagus Risotto, Truffle Oil Caviar
Then there were two juicy scallops with an asparagus pierced through it accompanied with al dente risotto.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Women
Pan Seared Slow Cooked Sole, Pomelo Salad, Fresh Micro Herbs
This was definitely very feminine with the flowers and delicate fish that was shaped in a roll.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Searching for Zai Zai
Chicken Roll with Savoy Cabbage, Season Vegetable, Chestnut Puree, Chicken Jus
The chicken roll was really juicy and it was just like eating a whole chicken in one go because you could taste the thigh, breast and skin in one bite.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Women Chiffon
Cake, Mixed Fresh Berries, Lemon Cream, Strawberry Sorbet
From the cream, I knew I was going to like this and it was flawless, a fresh light cake covered in whipped cream that was not too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
To finish off, there was a colourful palette of macarons.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
6 course $1388

Creative light and healthy toasts at Café O
Every time I walked past I was tempted by these toasts:
apple butter, cheddar and turkey
green peas and mint on salted yoghurt
prawn and salsa verde sweetcorn puree
pear and cinnamon nutella
That day I was still hungry after lunch so went in to try them.
Before I ordered I asked if they were big and they said they were quite small so I decided to order two different ones.
I was shocked when they arrived because there were two of each.
The waitress reassured me that it was right there were two pieces per portion so I guess I shouldn't complain.
According to the menu, it is $48/pc so my order should look like this!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Green peas and mint on salted yoghurt
It was cream cheese and not sour yoghurt but it was still good with thick starchy peas on top.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Prawns and sweetcorn:
The prawns were nice and springy but the sweetcorn was too artificially sweet.

Chicken again [Healthy Chicken]
Went here ages ago when you could choose two different rices at no extra charge.
Although they said the chicken was saltier than usual, it was really nice with the spinach rice and tomato rice.
0
If you have been recently, you will notice that they use plastic boxes and not the cardboard ones shown above which attract tiny mites.

Charcoal toast at Saiyu Japanese Restaurant
Went here because no one was dining there but it makes sense because the food takes ages to come.
Ordered the cheese and ham toasties which comes with a side of weird salad because it is dressed in sweet sesame sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
burnt toast:
It was so uniformly black on the burnt edges that it had a lovely bitter taste.
This is probably the prized activated charcoal that health shops are trying to sell!!
The ham was a too salty as well.
