Ordered the wintermelon and grass jelly drink and requested it to be less sweet.
Unfortunately, the drink was super sweet.
It seems that I need to try this place again because a blogger told me that the 黑糖台灣冰 is good.

Arome Bakery at Choi Hung MTR station
Arome bakery has opened at Choi Hung MTR station and this spot used to be Okashi land.
Anyway, got two green tea desserts.
One was the green tea cheese pudding and the other was green tea pudding.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
uji matcha, kanten and cream cheese dessert cup:
The green tea cheese pudding reminded me of trifle because of the layers and it tasted a teeny weeny bit like trifle because of the raspberry fruit layer at the bottom.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
uji matcha, adzuki beans, warabi mochi dessert cup:
I liked the light green tea mousse and jelly mochis.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆

Curly wurly rice noodles at Noodies
On my last visit I said I would come back for the Korean noodles so I did, but this time they had some new curly rice vermicelli so I tried it as well.
The vermicelli was interesting because they were curly and hung more soup while the texture was al dente .
As for the Korean noodles, they used a different brand on this visit so I was slightly disappointed.
The brand they used before was NongShim which is not round shaped like this one.

Grilled stingray at Katong Corner
++++++++++++++++++++
:: Singmalay series: No 34 ::
++++++++++++++++++++
At first I got this confused with the Katong in Wanchai, but this place has nothing to do with that branch.
Had a quick dinner and had the following:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Roti with curry sauce:
The roti could have been better because it was dense and not flaky, but the curry sauce was good and quite salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Tiger prawn vermicelli pot:
I expected a nice smell when the lid was taken off but there wasn't and the vermicelli was evidently too moist with a strong garlic taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Grilled sambal stringray:
The stingray was the best but if you like sambal sauce you will be disappointed because it was not strong enough.

Not chocolate M&Ms but M&M Kitchen
Went here because no one was dining there.
Their signature dish is the curry but it was watery and there were too many sharp and hard herbs in the curry which were annoying when you ate because you had to spit them out.
The chili-poached fish was really nice because the fish was extremely silky and not too spicy but the tofu puffs beneath were really spicy because it soaked up all the sauce.
There are about 4-5 pieces of fish in the bowl and beneath the fish are chunky pieces of vegetables and tofu puffs.
As for the rice, it was a bit too soft and mushy and it was Japanese rice which I don’t like.
Lunch sets don’t come with soup or drink but luckily the fish I had tasted good.
I ended up getting the drink which was barley and wintermelon for $10 but it was too sweet for my liking.

Black goat Yunnan rice noodles at 雲南阿老表黑羊湯鍋米綫
I don't eat Yunnan rice noodles so I obviously went here for the goat.
After I ordered I saw a faint piece of paper with other noodle options such as instant noodles but it was too late.
Anyway, I just ate the goat which was nice and soft.
I wanted to order the goats tail but according to the comments, this was served cold so I didn't fancy it.
Huge portions but unfortunately I just don't like these weird elastic noodles.
On the way out, there are the some napkins by the door.

Refreshing drink from a beef offal joint 廟街牛雜
Walked past and this straw hut caught my attention especially the lemon stand.
I got the fresh lemonade which was fresh lemon, carbonated water, syrup and mint.
The drink was really refreshing with a strong fizz and natrual lemon taste.
However I was gutted I didn't see them sell braised pomelo skin or I would have got it as well.
