Tofu puff and glass vermicelli in soup:


This was delicious and the tofu puffs were not rancid or oily and there were loads of glass vermicelli in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken and duck blood:


This was boring because I didn't realize it was going to be blood jelly and the soup was a bit bland.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Scrambled egg with shrimps:


The scrambled egg was very satisfying because it was not that oily and the egg was fluffy and fragrant.
You get two bowls of rice but they were small bowls so two are definitely needed.

上海三六九菜館

igo.ugo.sugo

This is my favourite place for modern sushi rolls.


I was craving for rice so this was just the place.
They also sell them at PMQ but the price is slightly more expensive but the rolls are the same.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
TUN-O:

This was just simple tuna and avocado but it was delicious.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
SPY-DA:


Soft shell crab dusted with 5 signature spices, cucumber and lettuce.
The spices were not really strong so I liked it because I could taste the crabmeat as well as the soft shell crab.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
S.C.B:

san choy bau style chirashi, sushi lotus root, shiitake mushrooms, carrot and beancurd.
The vegetarian roll was not my cup of tea because it was a bit too sweet for my liking and there was not enough beancurd in it.

Kiss Kiss Panda series

Currently there are 1,600 paper mache pandas designed by Paulo Grangeon on a world tour. These pandas are now in Hong Kong.

Maxims have launched a panda cake series during this panda mania period to support WWF, so for every Kiss Kiss panda cake bought $5 is donated to WWF and $1 is donated if a panda cup is bought.





(for people who read Chinese)

Kiss Kiss panda $168:

This is basically a Rocky road cake in the shape of a white dome decorated with chocolate ears and eyes.
The outer layer is vanilla mousse with another layer of of cake beneath it.
In the middle, it is filled with hazelnuts, marshmallows and crispy chocolate on a bed of light sponge cake with a hard biscuit base.





It was surprisingly nice because the vanilla mousse was not too sweet with soft cake in the middle and yummy marshmallows.
Children are going to love the marshmallows and hazelnut bits in the middle.

panda boy and panda girl dessert cup:





++++++
Panda girl dessert cup:

Strawberry mousse and strawberry jelly.
The strawberry mousse is the same except the cake is vanilla cake in the middle with strawberry mousse on top.
++++++
Panda boy dessert cup:



Chocolate mousse and chocolate jelly according to the Chinese description.






I was looking forward to the chocolate jelly but it turns out that it was milk pudding at the bottom and chocolate sponge cake in the middle.




Even though it was milk pudding, it was actually quite nice because it balanced the sweetness of the chocolate mousse.

The cup is reusable and the panda card on top can be used as a cute bookmark.

Sweet treats at Pantry Bread & Pastries

A while ago, there used to be a branch at Causeway Bay.
I remember I made a trip there and bought some cakes and tried to take them home carefully without being bumped about.

Anyway, they now have a shop on Queen Road selling cookies and hotdogs as well.




The cake selection is good but the lego bricks for too colourful for me.







★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Taro egg white roll:

The roll was quite good and I appreciated that the colour was natrual and not vivid lilac.
It was soft filled with starchy taro filling in the middle but unfortunately it was too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Apple strudel:
For the strudel, there was a choice of apple, mango or peach.

The strudel was a but strange because it looked more like a puff or a cream slice, but anyway I loved the apple filling in the middle and the delicious cream but again it was too sweet.

A fresh scene at Papillon Caffe

I was really glad I went to the opening of Papillon Café because I got to try some really delicious things, however I had to leave early because of another tasting.


Papillon Caffe is located on the 17th floor of the Hopewell Centre and because I have not been above the 3rd floor, I assumed it would be offices above that.

When the elevator arrived on the 17th floor, I was greeted with shops and Papillon Cafe was near the entrance which leads to Kennedy Road.

On the menu, there were brunches and lots of European treats so I am definitely coming back for couscous and other items.


The muesli I had was amazing because it was not too sweet with crispy pieces of apple and refreshing bits of orange in it. I wouldn't mind having a whole bowl to myself

I then tried the soft oat cookies which had my favourite green sweet sultanas in it that gave it a lovely chewy texture and a hint of sweetness.





Lastly, I finished off with a satisfying cup of tea by Teapigs!!!!

There are so many flavours of tea to choose from!!

Coming back soon!!!
