Chewy goodness at Mrs Fields Cookies

Mrs. Fields Cookies never disappoint.
Discovered that they had some new flavours so got the super chewy ones and the coconut and macadamia cookie.


I couldn't resist the cookies so some were already finished before I took any photographs.
Obviously, the coconut and macadamia were good because the fragrant coconut and nutty macadamia tasted great together.
The mocha chocolate chewy was divine as it was not too sweet and I loved the chewy texture.

New Tuna Patty at Pololi

Went back to Pololi because I had a craving for rice and sashimi.


There were new items so I tried the Tuna patty and brown rice, which were not there before.
I added an extra $60 for extra poke which was not as much as I imagined because I was going to try all the flavours and write them here but you only get a few cubes of each so I decided to get two flavours instead.





The brown rice was definitely good because the texture was coarse with a fragrant wheaty rice flavour.
As for the tuna patty, I found it a bit dry and the cubes of tuna had quite a fair bit of membrane in it which was difficult to chew.


I also had spam musubi because the spam is really good and I love the saltiness that goes nicely with the rice, seaweed and egg.

The beauty of Bread & Beast

Went to the Tong Chong Street market and tried the Philly cheese tongue which is an exclusive bun served by Bread & Beast at the market.

Samples of the food at the stall.





The Philly cheese tongue is sandwiched with ox tongue, caramelized onions, American cheese, mustard and sauerkraut.

It was really good because the sauerkraut made it really appetizing and the beef tongue was thinly sliced.


I also tried the lotus root chips which were smothered in sauce.

TVB under the knife, TVB gets knifed

::::TVB mooncakes by Maxims::::::

I love TVB and we had TVB in Europe, they started off with video rentals for TV series but now they have satellite channels where they sometimes broadcast stock series so we get to watch them earlier before they are broadcasted in HK.
Subscribers would get a TVB calendar every year that has the current Miss HK pageants on the front page.

Anyway, someone had mooncakes from TVB so we were really lucky to try them.






They are made by Maxims.
In the box there are two flavours:
White lotus seed paste and egg yolk and lotus seed paste and egg yolk.




Basically they taste the same as the ordinary Maxim's mooncakes which are sweet and sickly.

Chi Lin Vegetarian red bean Mooncake 2015

The last time I tried this was in 2011 because someone shared it with me.

This year, my colleagues shared it with me and it was the red bean and orange peel flavour.
It was delicious because it was not too sweet with a strong orange peel taste and the mooncake was gone in a flash hence I didn't get a chance for pictures.

Nitro coffee from Common Ground

I am not a fan of coffee but the Nitro Coffee was actually really good because there is not much coffee in it and the taste is not strong or bitter.
You get to choose a topping which is like whipped cream.

There are three flavours: chocolate, tea or milk.
Both the tea and chocolate were tempting.


The tea cream was thick and creamy with a light tea taste and when it was mixed into the drink, the creaminess smoothed out the bitterness of the coffee.

3/3rds toasted cheese

A few months ago I was in the area so went to 3/3rds and it was shockingly full even though it was located in an isolated factory in the middle of nowhere.

I was so glad that 3/3rds had a pop up stall at Tong Chong Markets because wong chuk hang is a bit too far.

I tried the cheese toastie because the exclusive dish was sold out.
The cheese toastie was quite good with gooey melted cheese in the middle that had a mild sharp taste.
