Soup @ Yat Yuet Sing Fast Food Shop

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Eight treasure soup (Baatbotong):
Last time I tried their deep fried chicken leg I spotted the eight treasure soup on the menu, so this time I came back for it.
After I removed the lid, it was piping hot, so I burnt my tongue again.
The soup had so many ingredients in it, tofu, prawns, vegetables and Chinese mushrooms.
The taste of this soup was really nice and it had strong tofu taste because the tofu had strong soybean taste.
They also had Western beef soup which I want to try as well.

Rachel's Palmiers

Shop: Rachel's cookies

Thank you Mjqueen7e for getting me these palmiers.

The box is beautifully designed with a butterfly that is also part of the box.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Rachel's Palmiers:



The palmiers were really delicious, they were flakey and buttery.
It was slightly sugared on the edges but not too sweet.
The palmiers had many layers which made it really delicate and flakey.

Japanese cheese balls @ Maxim's Cake Shop

When I saw these Japanese Cheese balls I should have trusted my instinct not to get them because Maxim's SAVOURY items are always sweet.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Japanese cheese balls:




The size of these cheese balls were bigger than the ones sold at other bakeries, but the taste is more important than size.
Anyway, I did not like them because the cheese taste was not strong and it was sweet.

Orange mochi @ Wing Wah

Shop: Wing Wah (Tseung Kwan O)

I was surprised to see that they had Orange flavoured mochi at Wing Wah Bakery because the style at Wing Wah is quite traditional.


There were two flavours orange or red bean.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Orange mochi:


The mochi was covered in coconut and there was orange filling encased with a layer of white bean paste.


The taste reminded me of the snowy mooncakes that they sell during Mid Autumn festival because of the white bean paste.
I would have preferred it if the orange flavour was more refreshing because the orange peel taste was more prominent.

Pork chop bun set @ 大玩町

Shop: 大玩町
Address: Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro

This was an unplanned visit because I was intending to get Dairy Queen again but needed something as a filler first.


The pork chop bun set includes apple tea, pork chop bun, Portuguese tart and a pork chop bun for $29 which is quite cheap being right in the middle of a tourist spot.
Macau is famous for pork chop buns and the famous ones cost around $35+ each.



★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pork chop bun:


The pork chop bun was freshly made and piping hot.
The bread they used was crispy and soft and the taste was yeasty.
The pork chop inside was tender.
Although the pork chop bun was not from a famous joint, it tasted quite nice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Portugese tart:

The tart size was quite small and cute.
The tart was flakey and the the tart filling was lovely and eggy.
The sweetness was just right.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Apple drink:


The sweetness of the drink was just right but the taste of apple was quite artificial.

Taiwanese oyster noodles tea set

Restaurant: Odeon Taiwanese Cafe

Odeon Taiwanese Cafe used to be famous and popular a few years ago, but currently there are only a few left in Hong Kong.

Tried their afternoon tea set.



★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Iced passionfruit tea:

The green tea and passionfruit taste was strong and the sweetness was just right.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Oyster noodles:


The noodles was served in thick soup, but the soup was quite lumpy.
There was no vinegar on the table, the usual condiment for these noodles.
The oysters tasted a bit off.

Egg and mayonnaise sandwich @ La Rose Noire Bakery

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Egg and mayonnaise sandwich:
My favourite simple toasted sandwich which contains egg and tomato.
There was lots of mayonnaise in it and the egg was lovely and creamy.
The egg yolk was hard boiled and mushed so it mixed nicely with the mayonnaise giving a lovely starchy texture, while the tomato was refreshing.
Although this sandwich was delicious I felt thirsty after eating it.
