Cute hor???
Ok, back to food....haha! We ate these at 海王粥店near 花园街. I finally know how to walk to 花园街from Mongkok MTR station exit instead of Prince Edward le!
艇仔粥+油条+咸煎饼
My ultimate fav - 炸俩! Tastes best with the peanut sauce, chilli and sweet sauce! Yummy!
热豆浆- great with the yummy 油条！
咖喱鱼蛋配烧卖 - Pat Pat shared the food with us still felt hungry so ordered this hehe.
Next up was our 千里迢迢visit to the Yee Shun Milk Company (義順牛奶公司). Why I say that? Cos we walked the whole of Sai Yong Choi North Street to find it. The street machiam never-ending and the restaurant was located right at the end! But cos Grace and the rest wanted to try this badly so we persisted our journey and finally found it. Along the way, just few shops before Yee Shun, we saw 石磨坊,another dessert shop on our agenda. But since the aim at that moment was to eat the 炖蛋,we decided not to detour and headed for Yee Shun. (sob sob my 桂花糕!) Ermmm, frankly I think 炖蛋is really quite an acquired taste cos I really wasn't even able to swallow one mouthful of it. At the entrance, I already smelt the strong milk powder smell which made me gag a little. Maybe it's just cos I am not a milk lover (I'm not even a milk-drinker, I'm even convinced I'm lactose intolerant, so I'm already mentally prepared to get osteoporosis when I'm old le haha.). Only managed to eat one small spoonful of the ginger 炖蛋，but the normal one i really cannot tahan. But the rest were savouring every spoonful of it! That's why I say it's an acquired taste! But I think Wendy and Daniel didn't really fancy it also la cos they took only slightly more than me nia haha!
Ginger 炖蛋
Normal 炖蛋 - eeeks! (sorry la 炖蛋lovers!)
Before we went to the airport, we made a final dash to Mongkok for more last minute shopping and some serious dessert hopping. First up, we went to 满记甜品at Langham Place Shopping Mall. The sesame and walnut paste that I had was yummy, the texture was very smooth, unlike those we find in Singapore which always tend to be a bit lumpy. And the pancakes were nice too, and served to fill our stomach for the rest of the day.
My 芝麻核桃糊
Fang's 红豆沙
Mango, Durian and Banana Pancakes
Look at how much 3 of us ate! I feel like a pig now! Furthest bowl was Wendy's 芝麻糊豆腐花.
After stuffing ourselves with the delicious desserts, we chiong to 旺角中心to shop for another 1 hr plus. While I was busy bargaining prices, Fang and Wendy chanced upon this 凉面小吃and bought 2 packets to try. They liked it so much that we bought another 5 packets to eat later. Very nice de! Can choose the different ingredients to mix with the 凉面.
On the way back to the hotel to pick up our luggage, we stopped by 无印良品to get something. Then we realised next door was another dessert store. We looked at each other, glanced at our watches, then headed for the door. Hehehe how can we let any opportunity for last minute desserts pass us by? We ordered and finished our desserts in 10 minutes flat i think!
My 腐竹蛋糖水 - I thought the egg is mixed in the soup, who knows turned out to be one big egg! Faint.
Wendy's 冻dunno what 蛋. Haha eat until forget liao!
粒粒芒果爽
多芒西米露
杨枝甘露
杂锦车仔面
Soya sauce fried noodles
烧鹅
This is called 娃娃菜 - such a cute name right? Very yummy cos it's laden with garlic!
红豆糕＋糯米糕＋禄茶糕 - all gone in 3 minutes flat!
I like how they layered this and the colour combi :)
MANGO GALORE!!! Slurp!
One night I was feeling very fat so I decided to make some salad by throwing in some of the leftover veg, cherry tomatoes and crabstick in my fridge, with a dash of balsamic vinegrette. Looks good hor? But I got hungry after awhile. Hahaha.
My Walnut and Raisin Muffins
I had wanted to make banana muffins initially cos I had a bunch of super ripe bananas lying at home. Unfortunately by the time I reached, I realised the bananas were not super ripe already, they were almost 烂liao. Haha. Bo bian. So I decided to use the same recipe and made walnuts and raisins muffins instead. But I think I was too tired that night, my brains weren't functioning properly, so I sort of messed up the whole recipe. Basically I got all my steps wrong. Wanted to throw the whole mix away but iya since I already did so much, might as well bake them and see how badly they turned out.
Judging from the pics, they don't look that bad right? Hahaha. But I tell you, they were too hard and dry. I proudly named them "my rocks". Nonetheless, I received different feedback. Mark said they were quite hard but quite nice and brought a few to office for breakfast. Shannen, my ardent baking supporter, said she liked it, and that the degree of hardness was ok for her. I even saved 2 of my rocks for the birthday boy (since this year no birthday gift for him hahaha) and he said they were quite hard but got taste la. (-_-")
Will try to improve next time, hopefully can bake more delicious muffins. I'm thinking banana, blueberry, etc....HW don't drool and be patient hor? Haha!
Tall Egg Tarts
Came across an article in Sunday Life recently that introduced this special egg tarts that weren't like the conventional HK egg tarts but were tall and had many different flavours like chocolate, strawberry, blueberry and even chicken and mushroom (??!!). Anyway finally got to taste them and they were as good as they looked, especially the ones with the chocolate chips on top as they had a chocolate layered base that came as a ending surprise.
