Long to try out their signature ice cream sandwich,like I have already missed their strawberry one and matcha one which I know I must adore them so much!With no extra thought, I have ordered their weekend must-try item!It's pretty cool that their sandwich flavour would never repeat!So for this weekend, it's apple cinnamon crumbleAPPLE CINNAMON CRUMBLE ICE CREAM SANDWICHthe ice cream is of extra-chilled that it wont melt off that you can just enjoy slowly it's rounded with cinnamon crumbles which are pretty crispy, or say cookie-like, its texturewise perfectly match with the smooth vanilla ice cream, in good scent, buttery and not over-sweet!The most adorable thing is its filling,apple jam fully stays in between the icecream layer, right in the middle partFor each bite of it, its totally like cookie-icecream-apple-icecream-cookie!! NOMMNOMMM <3I pretty anticipate what's c'minup for next weeeek!Im always in love with a coffee date, quiet comfy place for some talks and relaxOriginally I feel like here would be a bit crowdy n noisy in a weekend,cus known here is a popular hot spot for tryin out their chic lifestyleLucky it wasn't! ((Hahaaa what about today's mark six LOLL))DARK ROASTED LATTEboyfriend's choice | house coffee with their own coffee beansthe coffee scents nice, like I have totally forgot to mention here, their awesome coffee scent once I step in WOAW did attracted and delighted me very much!the latte art are pretty as well!VERONA MOCHAmy choice | house coffee with verona chocolateeee <3nothing else could attract me more than "verona" this word here, though I pretty much struggle in between it and french vanilla onethe mocha tastes a bit bitter but probably because of my big bite of the ice cream sandwichit's rich in verona chocolate, i have ordered an iced one, which the chocolate frozen a bit in the coffee,you could taste out some chocolate bits throughout the coffeee, thats great!…Read More

This pretty sunday, we've got to Corner Kitchen Cafe,I made this top in my must-go list simple because of its pretty red velvet cake!Sadly I have only got my weekends left for leisure hang-outs..I would totally come back for it before saying anything, seldom could I have a place, that I'd love recommend everything that I've tried out!I defo love the food here, and also its settings and its plates! Since I came for my red velvet cake, regardless that it should be a dessert, I can't wait to have it as my first thing!RED VELVET CAKEsuper rich and smooth cream cheese icing topped, while the cream cheese in between cake layers is even richerand the cake is buttery but not oily.Its thick cake base is very satisfying in terms of favor and texture,its mild sweetness with its strong butter flavor, and its adorableness just give ya a perfect sensatious dessert moment SALTED CARAMEL CAKEit goes to our must-try item, cus like my boyfriend adores the combination salted caramel!it's a pretty special one frankly sayin'it's pretty much like a candy cake, with caramel candy penetrating the cake layers!the cakes base is quite eggy and thick in texture, caramel sauces just perfectly match the cake with its sweetness and wetness,it's recommended as well though I like my red velvet cake more!Haahaaa I know that's not proper to have kicked off our meal with desserts than comes to the Mains, kinda weird loll ROASTED SALMON WITH ROCKETS, MASHED POTATOES and BEETROOTSit's recommended simply because of one thing - timing!salmon is cooked in right timing, raw enough but of course cooked enough i'm not sure what i'm saying, but just that I could say the salmon meat is pretty silky,while it's seasoned well too!the rockets and mashed potatoes are the second highlights for it,the rockets are crispy and fresh, and the mashed potatoes are buttery and creamy.I know that's fat, but you just couldnt afford to stop eating it APPLE CIDER RIBS WITH SALADS AND MASHED POTATOESActually im not a fanatic of ribs or steaks or even meat, but it definitely a nice one!The ribs are tender and soft, though I can't taste any of the apple cider, the ribs are just very juicy.Again, don't miss the mashed potatoes!Just a friendly joke while enjoying our full plate mashed potatoes,WORK HARD AND EAT UP THE POTATOES! …Read More

Often see people snapping some beautiful sweet treats shots here,so me and my bestie are coming over here to check'em out.Out of my expectation, it's pretty much like an apoening cafe, while I thought it's a big bright cafe.Anyways, so we've chosen their must-try desserts here,their mini rainbow roll cakes and pancakes!Mini rainbow roll cakesWe have chosen lemon cream, green tea & red bean and chocolate, these 3 minis.The fillings inside are quite rich and strong in fact, but I do think they are bit oerpriced!Around $28 each, while I dont see they worth LOLLemon one is pretty fresh, but say it's quite alike to Garden's lemon cake roll..Green tea and red bean one is okay, but I wouldnt say it's outstandingChocolate one is a bit heavy, the chocolate is quite rich but a bit too sweetI think the only thing differentiate themselves are the pattern outside!It defo nice for some shooting, but frankly abit pricey as their overall quality.Mixed berries pancakeWhen it gets on our table, we are both surprised by its fluffly thick pancake!I do think it's the most adorable one I've ever tried before.The pancakes look soft and fluffy, while they're topped with a huge splash of cream and lots of berries, I totally understand hy girls are always fall for such stunning pretty thing!The pancake tastes good, with good scent of egg. Each full bite of pancake dipped with berry sauce and cream and the berries,defo give yourself the greatest sense of happiness.But then it's a bit big for persons, which I suggest finding more people to share would be better lolMy overall comment for here,is that, just bit overpriced for everything though I agree they all look adorable lol…Read More

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRYSTAL! yeahhh! I'm so in luck to grow a year more again, feelin' blessed!Thanks to my family celebrating my bday with me here,this is the resto that I've alway been in love with,love the ambience and for sure the fooood!MY BIRTHDAY FOOD LIST hahaaaa Mussels in white wine cream sauceTo start off my meal, we've ordered mussels as our starter!Mussels taste fresh with very likable and strong sea water flavor, and it soaked well in the white wine sauce,sucha nice kick-off.But I do think the mussels texture is not fresh enough probably they could only use the frozen ones unlike those in seafood restos.All day breakfastIn bricklane, you couldnt afford missing an all day breakfast which is their key dish!A deluxe combo with everything,stir-fry eggs, sausages, bacon, smoked salmon, baked beans, cheese, roasted vine tomatoes, veggies, hash brown, portobello mushrooms, salad, Im not sure if I've missed out any. This deluxe breakfast combo well fulfil your wishes!!Fish and chipsSole fillets in a crispy beer batter, it tastes preet special, while the fillets are very soft and meaty. Honestly I like the fish meat, but I do think the crispy outer layer is bit too thick that turns out I'm just peeling it away lolAnd for chips, in reverse I love its thickness, with very full of potatoes in each strips! That's defo a perfect choice for a potato fries maniac haha.Garlic prawn linguineOur another main is a pasta, which is just an ordinary one i can say.Still, it tastes good and the prawns are fried nice!Seriously, what I have been waiting for is my birthday cake,I was supposed to order three cakes and another dessert, but then we were too full aleady lolll Red velvet cakeMY LOVE! Spongy cake layers with ice cream textured cream cheese,everything is just right with very intense buttermilk flavor!Flaming brownieOur another dessert, which the flame goes off just at the second placed on the table lolHazelnut brownie with bacardi rum, probably Im not an alcoholic that the rum flavor is too strong for me, made everything taste super bitter. Vanilla icecream and the sweetness of brownie don't help much anyways. A bit disappointed with it.Once again, thanks for my family celebrating my birthday with nice meal with me, blessed to have a great time here (:…Read More

Always wanting to have a nice lunch in my one-hr lunch break during work,this time we got to Hysan! and we found heree.Nachos BasketWe've ordered a snack to-share, but disappointingly, it kicked off our meal bad!The nachos were just too thick as like biscuits rather than crispy corn chips.And they really did taste like biscuit cus there're no corn flavor anyway...Eggs MarianWhat came as my Main! My favorite egg benedict'swith croissants, spinach, cheese and smoked salmon!This did satisfy me which saved our nice meal,love the crispy baked croissant a lot, buttery and fluffy,it was a defo highlight!And the cheese melted right into the spinach.Sucha nice combination!Pasta of the week - Shrimps spaghetti in fresh basil tomato and chilli flakes sauceOur another main which the waiter suggested us to try out.The spaghetti was cooked right, not too soft but chewy,and it's pretty spicy,but it's not too special indeed.Wanna try out their Tacos as well but sadly we have ordered a lot already,Gotta try it out next time!Btw, I do think the restaurant is a bit dark inside, while it's pretty much an open area to the mall,just a lil weird sitting at the border seats between resto and the mall LOL…Read More

For the sunday family dinner, we had chosen Applegreen, cus we want some light western food.We have ordered a lot this time,a full table of foooooood <3They didn't disappoint me as the food are still at their usual standard. Nice nice APPETIZERSesame orange chicken saladit's a to-share one,a full bowl of salad which the veggies are crispy,and mixed with the orange juices,this salad is definitely a recommended one for its freshnessShrimp quesadilla rollsI order this almost every time I have my meal here.The cheesy shrimp inside just makes you like having a bite of mozzarella pizza!While its portion is small that wont make you too full or oily anyway!SIDESSpicy citrus chicken wingsIm a bit disappointed with it in fact,this is my first try of it,well the chicken meat is a bit over-cooked, and the sauce doesnt really go into the meat.That's pretty epic-fail to know that chicken wings are cooked bad in a restaurantTruffle friesWe've ordering lots of side dishes, cus frankly we love tapas!As a fries-fanatic, this is GREAT! Though the potat strips are not as thick as what I expect,the truffle flavour just match perfectly with the friesIt smells awesome, the taste as well. Still, I hope the truffles could be much more evenly distributed on fries lolMAINSpaghetti bolognesewell, nothing special. I like the garlic bread on top more!Palma ham and melon Flatbreadthis would be a fresh pizza-like option!The flatbread is topped with pieces of thin melon film and cheese,matched with palma ham. Probably this combo would ever be our appetizer,but I really love the freshness of this main.Not too oily and cheesy,but in a light, fresh flavor!The flatbread is biscuit like, pretty crispy,this wont make you full easily so you could still enjoy a lot more food from them DESSERTSlow baked whole appleA gimmick one, I would say it is.The warm apple is stuffed with caramelised walnuts, not too sweet, and quite fresh in fact because of the apple.Maybe it would be called as a must-try item because of its appearance and uniqueness.But once is enough for me hahaa!…Read More

一向都很喜歡食上海菜經過這滬菜小店，想也沒想就入去試試辣醬麵老闆很細心，聽到我在點菜時擔心太辣食唔到特意將辣醬分開上幸好老闆細心，辣醬真的很辣，還有麻麻的感覺辣醬內有很多豆干，吃起來一點也不油膩口感也很好配上上海麵的湯底，一流！而麵身適中，亦很彈牙這麵真的不得不試啊！除了麵，也點了些小吃雞絲粉皮 | 上海水餃 | 酒醉雞翼當中最值得推界介為酒醉雞翼花雕酒味濃郁，滲透全雞翼肉質亦十分滑嫩酒醉雞翼冰冰的咁覺更讓酒味和雞翼的配合更相襯很喜歡！…Read More

Saturday is always a great day for a brunch time,so this morning I and my friend had chosen R&B.Unexpectedly I dont needa wait for seats cus last time the waiting list was like 20 ppl in front.Anyways, we had a good time here!Kept seeing people trying out their ice cube chocolate milk, defo I should not miss it. Ice cube + milk with chocolatewell, yea a gimmick one, having the chocolate melt with some slightly heated milk.You could add the orange peeled skin or mint grass in it, but i dont really like them.It tastes good, just like ordinary chocolate milk, not special in favour indeed.okiieee, and that's what I anticipate most. ELOTE!!!Elote - fresh corn, chile, cheeseI must have to say this is REALLY GOOD! Like you wont feel full or too much with cheese corn, cus the cheese is not like totally melt on it but keep cool. And it smells awesome, for sure taste perfect as well.Sweet corn plus spiced cheese seasonings, well this is certainly a recommended one!Steak Frites - shortrib boneless, fries, garlic aioliThis was half-half I am always a fanatic or craze of fries, but the fries here were totally disappointing,thin and potato-less! probably we're just eating the deep fried OIL-SKIN. Badbad!But anyways, the main is really nice though.Tender and soft shortrib, not too raw or overcooked,and super juicy and spicy a bit as well. I adore that Thenn, not missing our dessert,actually I really mean to come for the parfait, but turn out I like the corn a lot more!Caramel Parfait - nuts, berries, citrusIt's a cool and special one,I like the parfait texture, it's not as creamy and milky as ice cream,but neither as watery as frozen yogurt nor as thick as cream.Just right and yea I like the texture.And it tastes fresh as well because of the citrus.You could eat out some nuts and biscuit-like things inside that we're not sure whats that lolBut yeaa, I think I am not choosing it next time anyway hahaaaAnd here's the homemade orange skin candy for mouth-refreshing by chef R&B worths a try and a return! I would try out their other food next time …Read More

This new shop does catch my eye since their promotion on instagram, since it's a branch of a fashion shop. I have paid my first visit here before their grand opening trying out some their snacks here. Curry fishballs($20) and Siu Mai($20), it tastes fair like what we usually have in any food stalls but the curry sauce is really spicy. I was recommended to try out their free spicy preserved turnips as well and I pretty like it. A lil of it might have burnt your tongue!Their fresh fruit juices by Hyaku ($36) worths a try, while the pear one tastes particularly fresh!So I and my friend also tried some other GUM"JENG" food. We have always been eager to try the doggy noodles ($36), knowing it's one of their highlights, for sure we order it. Their soup base is really rich and there are lots of mushroom inside. Adding more spicy preserved turnips in it makes everything much tastier! Since they make the food in order, so everything is served hot enough and fresh. But definitely we needa wait for the food for some minutes unlike where we normally have these local snacks. And I do think their food are a bit pricy that you won't expect yourself having some HK snacks for more than $100, but I guess we came here for the style or gimmick perhaps! Well yea, maybe this shop is newly opened and around a corner, there are not much people here, so it definitely gives you another feeling of having local snacks. With good air-conditioning, quiet and tidy environment, it would be a nice place for people to dine in.  (lengnuisheartfood@Instagram)…Read More
