Ruby Chocolate suspicions confirmed
2019-11-19  313 views
At the beginning of the year, had the best pink chocolate drink from here.Decided to revisit for some more pink hot chocolate.
It was a different person there that day so asked if it was ruby chocolate that was used and it was.
Ruby chocolate is the fourth chocolate following white, milk and dark introduced in 2017 by Barry Callebaut.
The hot ruby chocolate drink is made by melting the ruby chocolate pellets and mixing with milk.
It was my lucky day as I got to try the melted Ruby callets which were sugary sweet with a note of raspberry.
The actual ruby hot chocolate drink is sweet and dreamy almost like drinking raspberry hot chocolate so I definitely recommend it.

[Review] Sainsbury Cafe in Newhaven Harbour

My friends wanted lunch so decided to go to Sainsbury's Cafe instead of McDs or KFC.
I was really excited while I was queuing as they have Christmas roast turkey dinner, hot turkey baguette as well as the usual items.

To my disappointment, none of that was available except for Ham, egg and chips, lasagna, tikka and macaroni cheese which was written on a piece of paper.

Since we were all there, I ordered the mac n cheese which they said would take half an hour so we ended up only having tea.

Overall very disappointed because they only had 4 staff that day.
I don't know when I will even get another chance to go to Sainsbury's Cafe because not every branch has the Christmas dinner and I don't drive!!

[Review] Perola Do Atlantico Snack Bar in Eastbourne

Perola Do Atlantico Snack Bar is located on Cavendish Place where the street used to thrive in the 1970s.

Decided to try it after going to Cavendish bakery.

I hadn't a clue what they served so just went anyway.

Upon entering I realized it was Portuguese and specifically from a town Madeira which makes sense as a few of my Eastbourne school friends are from Madeira.

The menu is in Portuguese so I had difficulty trying to suss out what to eat so just had tea and a Portuguese tart.

In the cabinet were other delicious treats such as coxinha de frango etc.

I never thought I would be having a Portuguese tart but the one here was so damn good compared to the oily crap in Hong Kong which are probably Hongkongized.

The one here served cold had a lovely thick custard filling with a sweetness that went well with the tea.

Definitely coming back for soup.

[Review] Tea at Cafe Aroma

Cafe Aroma is located on Ocklynge Road which is not on the main road to Town so I wouldn't have found out if I wasn't near Motcombe swimming pool.
From a glance of the front of the cafe, you never would have guessed it was tea house as the windows were in a frosted like state so it was hard to see how it looked inside.

When I got closer, the menu on the board had Fish cakes, pie etc so went back during the weekend.

The cafe was almost full when I went but there were two more tables at the far back near the cake cabinet.

You are greeted with lots of tea pots and plates.

The ambiance is cosy.

The menu:

As a tea lover, there were about 10 teas so it was hard deciding, some blends were obviously what they were except Miss Norris and Russian.
Being adventurous and spoilt for choice I had Miss Norris.

The teas came served in beautiful tea pots with a strainer.

My tea had a floral note of rose which smelled like Damascus Rose Tea but the taste was quite pleasant.
After asking the owner about the tea, found out there was Rose, Violets and Jasmine in the blend.

For food, had a pudding since I had already had lunch.
All the puddings and cakes were home made by Bryan.
I tried the apple and peach sponge with custard which was appetizing because of the tart apples while the sponge was complemented by the custard.

Overall, a lovely place for tea on an off beaten path.

Chinese buffet at Young Cheng 陽城小菜館 (阳城小菜馆)

I was on my way to try Wong Kei but the food which you could see from the windows at Young Cheung captivated me to try it.

Judging by the non Asian diners, I knew that the food would be to my liking.

It is not authentic Chinese food but adapted to UK style.

Young Cheng is a Chinese buffet where you will find curry, sweet and sour, fried items and all that.

The seating on the ground floor is cramped but there is more seating upstairs but as a buffet it would be annoying going and up and down so I got a takeaway which was only 6.50 where you get what you can fit in the box.

In my box, I had Singapore vermicelli, fish cutlets, salt and pepper ribs, sweet and sour chicken, satay sauce, curry sauce, plain rice and tofu.

Although the Singapore vermicelli lacked colour, it was actually tasty and full of curry spices, the fish cutlet was soft and the satay peanut sauce was simply delicious.

The meat was a bit dry but if I visit again, I am definitely coming back for more rice vermicelli, fish cutlet, tofu and lashings of peanut sauce.
