New #hojicha latte icecream at Lab Made Cafe

I was early for dinner at Jamie's Italian and the others had not arrived so I got some icecream to cool down.
There was a new hojicha latte flavour so I tried it.



It was topped with cream, rice crispies and brown sugar syrup.
The syrup was really good and mellowed out the bitterness of the hojicha flavour.

Gu Fah Bakery's crumblylicious cookies

To be honest, I am not a fan of Chinese cookies because they have this weird margarine smell.
The ones here are light and crumbly and the margarine is not that strong.



These cookies caused a fiasco earlier because of the tin design.

Top One Bakery's Chocolate chip cookies

Thanks to MKK for getting me these crumbly and light cookies studded with chocolate chips.
They were not too sweet and great for breakfast.

Great pastas again at Saizeriya Italian Restaurant

Ordered a salad, pizza, baby squid and pasta.
The salad was good as it usually is and the portion seemed big.

Tried the new baby squid in basil sauce, which was a bit disappointing because the sauce was thick and sweet like the localized Japanese squids.

The pasta was al-dente with a strong squid ink taste.

As for the pizza, it was a wrong choice choosing the buffalo cheese because it becomes rubbery but the pizza base was delicious.

The water dispenser was pathetic because it is hard to get a trickle out of it let alone a cup of water.

Creamy cheese tart at Maxim's Cake Lab

This shop used to be Maxim's but now this new shop with a blue front called Cake Lab has replaced it.
Although it looked European and modern, it is actually by Maxim's as well.

Thanks to MungKK, I got to try these cheese tarts which are the same ones as the ones I tried at the new Maxim's bakery cafe in TKO.

The cheese tarts were creamy and the liquid cheese is light as whipped egg white which gets heavier towards the bottom of the tart complimented by a dense buttery tart base.

Dinner at Tai O's Fook Moon Lam Restaurant

It was an honour and a pleasure to join the Tai O food tour held by Tai O Heritage hotel because we got to try different joints in the lanes of Tai O.

Tai O is a lovely town on water which is themed as a Chinese Venetian with stilt houses on water.
They are also famous for fermented prawn paste.
I go to Tai O frequently because there are so many joints to eat with a good variety of snacks but I have never had a meal in these restaurants because I am usually full by then.
Thanks to the tour, we all had dinner here and I quite liked the food.

The fried rice was really good because it was cooked with dried prawns which give it a lovely salty prawn taste, and the steamed pork belly with prawn paste was not oily with a flavourful prawn paste infused in it.


Salt and pepper squid.

The prawns in salted egg yolk were fragrant and velvety.
