Tsum Tsum stack part 2 at Maxim's Cake Shop

Maxims have launched these cute Tsum Tsum dessert cup series which cost $32 each.
There was Mickey, Little green man and Buzz light year and the flavours are strawberry mousse, tiramisu and chocolate mousse respectively.

Now they have launched the other three:Winnie the pooh, Tigger and Stitch.




The flavours are serradura, milk pudding and mango.

mango dessert cup:

My favourites were the serradura and milk pudding because they were creamy and light.

Just for the Halibut at Beef & Liberty

Indeed, there is something fishy at Beef & Liberty Hong Kong.
Just For The Halibut, the new fish burger with green peas and horseradish mayo, a bit of red cabbage, kale, pickled fennel and ginger; and a hint of citrus.
It was a lovely burger because the fish was chunky and flaky paired with strong condiments.

Icecream sandwich at STACKS

Tried Stacks because everyone was trying it.




Chose the fruit tart icecream with two different cookies, the cinnamon snickerdoodle and the raspberry cheesecake.
The icecream was quite hard which made it easy holding it like a sandwich.


As for the taste it was quite sweet but the cookie flavours were not distinctive enough.

Teas infused with pandan at Modos

I love this joint because of the silky tofu, pandan desserts and drinks.
Went here again as I was in the area and got the tofu pudding and a drink.
Just as I was about to order the drink, they told me there were some new drinks which are teas mixed with their homemade pandan syrup.

There were two that I had to try: Earl grey pandan and the Oolong pandan.
They don't have Iron buddha pandan tea yet but I think it should taste nice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Earl grey pandaniac:

The combination of earl grey and pandan was surprisingly fragrant but it is hard to describe.
Very aromatic and you can't stop drinking it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Oolong pandaniac:

The oolong taste was not strong and all you could taste was the pandan so it is hard to comment whether it was nice.
I want to try this drink again and hopefully the oolong flavour is stronger next time.

Seafood Mondays at Hotel Icon's Green

Went here with the gang to try the semi-buffet special offered on Mondays which features all you can eat seafood buffet with a choice of main courses and a dessert from the cabinet for $478.

The seafood selection was good, there were lobsters, yabbies, botan shrimps, sashimi and soup.


All of the seafood were fresh and sweet.



They bring over a bread selection for you to choose.

On the table, there was a delicious pot of pepper pate which tastes great with the bread.

After the seafood, we chose our mains.
I went for the beef tenderloin and the beef was tender and juicy with a lovely mash beneath.




For desserts, it was hard choosing a cake from the cabinet because there were so many good options.

Luckily, there were four of us so we chose different cakes to try.

The strawberry and olive was really nice with soft sponge cake in the middle.

The Jasmine and chocolate had a good balance between chocolate and Jasmine.


The green tea had a rich green tea taste without being too sweet.

We didn't choose durian, but there is a durian cheesecake!

Shrek x Spicy beef burger at McDonalds

Tried the new items at McDonalds which is basically the Spicy beef burger from last year without the cheese.

The sparkling green apple tea is basically the same drink as the one launched last september for the Batman justice league theme:

The onion and potato patties are new because I don't remember seeing them in HK before.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Spicy beef burger:




The beef burger was as good as last year with four thin slices of beef patties and the texture of the beef patty is soft like luncheon meat with a fiery taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Onion and potato pattie:




The patty was very oily and I couldn't taste any onions or the green herbs which you can visually see.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Sparkling green tea:


The sparkling green apple tea was not as good as the one launched last year because there was a strong sprite taste but the apple flavouring was nice.

Bollywood at Rang Mahal Authentic Indian Cuisine

Been here twice and it is quite entertaining because they are showing bollywood shows on TV.
Previously had the lunch buffet and this time tried the dinner.
There was a dinner set but I preferred choosing the a la carte.

Ordered fried rice, mushrooms and peas rice, lamb kadai and bhindi masala.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
starters:

Started with spicy poppadoms and sauces.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
sweet lassi:

The lassi was creamy and sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
fried rice:

I found the fried rice a bit hard but it was flavourful.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
mushrooms and peas rice:

The mushroom and peas rice was colourful and a great dish for vegetarians.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
lamb kadai:

This was quite spicy so I only had a little bit.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
bhindi masala:

This is always my favourite dish because I love slimy okra.
