LN2 + Creativity reinvented ⇨ L❤ve Nitrogencream 2

Ever since Chin Chin Labs opened in London I have been a fan of Ice-creams made with Nitrogen and the laboratory fun that comes with it.

As well as CCL, Heston Blumenthal does a great job too.

The first time I came across Nitrogen in food was in a drink, but it was not pure Nitrogen but nitrous oxide N2O to make it fizzy and "supposedly" to give you euphoria effects.
However that drink did not turn out fizzy and I did not feel any euphoria effects. As well as fizzing up the drinks it is also used in whipping cream and laughing gas.

On the first week Lab Made opened, there were two flavours i wanted to try the purple rice and the sticky toffee, however I went too early and it didnt open until 3pm so I went elsewhere.

The second time they changed their menu, I wanted to try the Bailey's flavour but I was busy then so finally made it the third time when they changed the flavours again.

This time they had: Strawberry and greek yoghurt, Purple rice, Lemon Meringue and Chocolate.
I tried the purple rice and the Lemon Meringue first, I did not intend to try the Strawberry because on a their website it was just plain strawberry but on the board it was written as Strawberry and greek yoghurt which made it worth trying.

I really like the ice-creams here because as well as gimmick and fun, the flavours are great too and they are not too sweet which can put you off with the first taste.
They had a good balance of western flavours and asian flavours because for people with western tastes are bound to choose the Western flavours.

There was a water dispenser there which was great.

I am not sure if dry ice is expensive but it would be fun if they had dry ice on the floor so when you walk in the shop it would be fun walking on fog as well as seeing it being produced when the icecream is made.

Lemon Meringue:

I loved the taste of the Lemon, it was really refreshing and extremely tart.
It contained lemon rind as well so it tastes a little different to the usual lemon flavouring.
The taste of this dessert was exactly the same as a dessert sold at UK's Marks and Spencers, which I cannot remember the name of but it was lemon mousse with grated lemon rind and a sweet ginger sponge at the bottom.

Strawberry with Greek yoghurt: - No Picture
The taste of this was great as well, some people did not seem to know it contained yogurt hence they said it was sour.
But the yogurt ingredient was why I tried it as well, it tasted like fresh strawberry yogurt and it was not too sweet.

Apple crumble:

So far, this would have to be the best flavour and you would be missing out if you havent tried this.
It was literally like eating a mashed apple crumble mixed in with ice-cream.
The pieces of apple were exactly the type you would find in an apple crumble, soft and stewed, same with the delicious pieces of buttery crumble.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Purple rice:

I am not fan of Chinese desserts but I just wanted to try the purple rice, there was generous amounts of purple rice in it which gave it some chew, and since the temperature is cooler than your average purple rice dessert, it was nice and chewier.
The taste was extremely creamy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Overall, the sweetness of all their ice-creams were just right that you can try other flavours without getting that cloyingly sweet feeling.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Apart from the ice-cream the design of the shop was nice, it was clean and chic, and I liked their uniform too. The logo itself is really cute, they have used test tubes as ice-cream cones.

Pizza and Zaza with a Zing @ PizzaZaZa

Tried this nice joint in Tai Hang for Pizza previously known as Mist Pizzeria.
The decor was much the same as before.

 

 

Tried the Salcissa pizza which has italian sausage, pineapple, red onions, black olives and mushrooms.

When it arrived, they grate parmesan cheese on top if you want it.
The holes in the grater are really small, so the grated cheese comes out in fine strands.

 

The base was nice and thin and there was a good balance of italian sausage and the other ingredients.
After adding some grounded pepper it further enhanced the taste of the italian sausage.

 

On my next visit I hope to try the following items as the home-made ravioli was sold out:
Home-made ravioli stuffed with fresh burrata, guinea fowl meat sauce.
Roast french pigeon risotto with pistachio nuts.
Slow cooked egg with wild mushrooms potato puree and black truffle sauce.

3.6 hokkaido milk scrambled egg with Ciabatta

Found out about this new branch from IVYCWK's review.
Initially I thought it was a Cafe because it served scrambled eggs with ciabatta for breakfast and I thought there was a sit in area too, however it is just a takeaway shop.

It would be great if they had an Arome Bakery Room Cafe in the future, the cakes and selections could be more extensive since they are now serving milkshakes at this branch too.

The breakfast set costs $22 but luckily you can buy the items separately because I do not drink HK style milk tea or Coffee.

The scrambled egg with ciabatta comes with ham, cheese or mushroom.
Ham was sold out so I was limited to a choice between cheese or mushroom, however I could not decide so I ended up getting both.

 

 

After unwrapping the Ciabatta bun which was wrapped like a burger, the appearance of the bun was just a dusted bun and not really a ciabatta bun which is much harder.
Although it was not the real ciabatta, I preferred this bun because it was soft and dusted and light for breakfast.

3.6 hokkaido milk scrambled egg with mushroom and Ciabatta:

 

I tried this one first, when it was unwrapped, the egg had a brownish colour which is normal because of the mushroom juices.
The scrambled egg was soft and fluffy and the mushrooms were earthy hard button mushrooms which were fresh and not the canned typed of mushrooms.

3.6 hokkaido milk scrambled egg with cheese and Ciabatta:

 

This one tasted slighty strong because of the cheese but it was also nice as well.
It would be great if they had a mega ciabatta with scrambled eggs, mushrooms and cheese!
The eggs in both buns were fluffy and not greasy.

Items to try on my next visit:
amazake chocolate:

 

raspberry chocolate and hoji.cha:

 

sea salt with banana and cinammon:

Ice shaken Lemon Tea @ Starbucks

After trying the COOL LIME I decided to try the Ice shaken lemon tea which has been on the menu for a long time.

In comparision to the COOL LIME I found this drink much more refreshing and natural.

As for the tea, there is a choice of green tea and red tea for this drink.
