McDonalds Horlicks ice cream sundae

I don't often order McDonald's ice-cream because I don't like it but when they have new sauces or toppings I generally give it a try.
This time the topping was Horlicks which is a beverage that I do not drink so I was not expecting it to taste nice, but it turned out extremely nice!!!

For the Horlicks series they have: Horlicks Double sundae, Horlicks sundae and Horlicks McFlurry.

 

I tried the Horlicks sundae which is the most basic one.
When I tried it, the taste was really nice and I managed to finish the whole cup as well.
The Horlicks powder was slightly savoury which took away the sweetness of the ice-cream, it also reminded me of extra fine digestive biscuit crumbs on the ice-cream.

The story of the green garlic, but mine was white

Came here for the famous green garlic but unfortunately mine was white that day.

 

As well as green garlic, you can get can black garlic these days (black gold).

The garlic that I had was not pickled long enough, the taste of the garlic was not that spicy and it was just slightly sour.
Hopefully the next time I come here the garlic will be green.
The dumplings that I ordered were pork and vegetable and the ratio of pork and chopped vegetables were 1:1.

 

I felt that there was too much dumpling skin.
On top of the dumplings were two pieces of seaweed, the seaweed was different to the seaweed I have seen at other places, it was a thick sheet of seaweed.

Anyway the story of the green garlic goes like this.......
When it is the 8th of December on the lunar calender, garlics are put into a jar of vinegar and pickled.
This tradition originates from northern China and the pickled garlics are to be eaten in Spring with dumplings.

Another story is that the pronounciation of garlic in Mandarin is "suen" which is similar to another mandarin word "suen" with the meaning "nevermind".
So the people in China gave these pickled garlics to people who came to collect their debts hoping they didnt need to pay them.

And another version is to do with buddism which I can't quite understand the Chinese, and I may be wrong with the above stories because I am guessing what it saids from the translation from google!

Cold noodles with a free drink @ Hime Kitchen

I rarely eat Korean food because everything tastes sweet and spicy.
I came here to try the cold noodles and the rice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Korean buckwheat noodle with cold soup:

 

When it came the noodles looked different. From the previous reviews there was crushed ice.
Anyway, when the noodles came, the waitress used a pair of scissors and cut the noodles into smaller strands.
When I dug my chopsticks into the noodles I realised they were very elastic and hard to pick up if they were in long pieces.
The texture of the noodles were exactly like konjac noodles but the strands were thinner.
The cold soup tasted sweet as expected and it tasted of Chinese radish.
On top of the noodles were cucumber, pickled Chinese radish and Chinese snow pear.
There was strong mustard paste to go with the noodles.

Steamed rice with mixed vegetables and beef in hot stone pot:

 

Not my cup of tea because it just tasted sweet and spicy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Soup and sidedishes:

 

 

The sidedishes were quite nice especially the spinach.

It was nice to get an extra free drink as well because the cold noodles did not come with a drink.
