Custard filled Green tea grilled mochi cakes

Went past and saw these green grilled cakes for $2.5 each and didnt know what they were so stopped by and took a look.

Basically they were similar to filled mochi but grilled like those chiu jau style tea cakes.

 

I was quite impressed they were not that greasy and they were still luke warm so I ate them imediately before they got cold.

Custard filled Green tea grilled mochi cakes:

 

The grilled mochi was still warm and the custard filling inside was really nice. There was a strong custard taste and it was not too sweet.

 

The mochi pastry was really nice and chewy and not not too burnt, the grilled parts were slightly crispy. The thickness of the pastry was just right to balance out the filling and you could taste the green tea in the chewy pastry as well.

Glistening golden birds nest for desserts

Apart from desserts with the delicacy Birds Nest, this place also sells jars of Birds Nest.

I ordered the clear jelly with melon and birds nest, however she said there was no melon so I had to choose another fruit/item.

The other choices were watermelon, lychee, rambutan, papaya, purple rice, and mango.

 

 

As I didnt like the other choices I chose Rambutan.

Clear jelly, rambutan with golden birds nest:

 

 

When it came, the birds nest was golden and glistening, there was coconut milk poured on the jelly and rambutan.
Comparing it to other reviews, the birds nest seem to have been served separately before but when I went it was put on the top.
Overall, I liked the jelly with the coconut milk and the birds nest, but I did not like the rambutan because it came from the canned and it was really sweet.
It was good that they did not use grass jelly because it would not look as good visually as the clear jelly and the taste of the grass jelly is much stronger.

Thick cut fries served from now on!!!! @ Burger King

Walked past and noticed that they were serving thick cut fries.
When I went in I realised these thick cut fries have replaced the thin cut fries served before.

It is quite interesting for a well established fast food chain to change their fries, I wonder if it is a global change as well.

Anyway I decided to try them.

Thick cut fries:
Although they are marketed as thick cut, they were not that thick, they were about 7-9 mm in diameter.
The thin fries before were probably around 6-7 mm in diameter.
Since they were slightly thicker than the fries before, it made the fries more substantial, the inside was soft with a slight crispy exterior.

 

 

As they were thicker, not much salt remained on the surface of the fries so they were not that salty and I felt that more ketchup was needed to makeup for the taste.
The fries before were tastier but these are also good too because they have a lovely soft center.

 

Perhap they need an extra pinch of salt.
