J.CO Fat-Free Yogurt Cry May 03, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Bakery

 
Was anticipating to try out J.CO’s yogurt after being guilt-ridden for consuming a double cheeseburger upsized with seaweed fries for lunch. I mean, since its fat-free, why not?

Pricing wise is reasonable, but not really what you should pay for the portion that you are getting. (Will elaborate later)

I took up couple size since I wasn’t sure of paying $3 for such a small cup of yogurt with just one topping. Hence, I decided to go along with the former as it comes with a 2+1free topping. Overall, it looks pretty decent like any other yogurt, comes with fresh fruits or the usual fruits/cereals. I chose strawberries, nata de coco as well as kiwi for my choice of toppings.

 
Taste-wise, the yogurt is served chilled and it tasted pretty much like sorbet. I like it. However, the fruits kind of spoil everything. As mentioned, the yogurt is chilled and oh-so-cold but the fruits, as well as the nata de coco, is served warm. Think of warm fruits, eww.

I’m someone who eat my yogurt and my fruits separately, so if you are going to tell me that “You are going to mix the yogurt with the fruits anyway, so why does it matter if it is warm?”, save your breath.

Another thing that I would like to highlight will be that I saw some flies hankering around the peaches, ON THE PEACHES.. Sales staff should take note of that.. talk about hygiene.

Ok, back to the yogurt. I dismissed all negative thoughts of it since I got a rather generous portion of nata de coco(but only 5 slices of kiwi), and carried on eating my yogurt. To my utter dismay, about 5 minutes in to the eating, I was disappointed.
A picture speaks more than a thousand words.

 
Approximately 2 fingers. That's pretty disappointing.

Oh well, the ambience here is fine though.

Mee Sua Cry May 01, 2011

Oyster Mee Sua

Was expecting to get a savoury, piping hot mee sua but was disappointed with this. Not only that this bowl of mee sua is warm (Note: Not hot, WARM!) It is not tasty at all!

In fact, all I could taste was just how spicy it was. huffy To the extent that it is a little 2 spicy for me that I have to gulp my bottle of ice water down. (My tolerance of spiciness is about a normal cup noodles type of tomyum ?) To make matters worse, the little meat chunks present in the mee sua taste bland!

In other words, it is just like water + chili, probably with a little corn starch.

1 word - Disappointing.

Maybe I should try Shihlin's next time. mad

Nice Milk Tea OK May 31, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Shanghainese | Chinese | Restaurant

Went there on a fine afternoon to get some drinks and snacks. (Too bad I didn't take pictures of the food!! huffy )

 
It's a pretty cool concept to serve the milk tea in a glass jar~

Ok, now coming to the taste, I feel that its rich and a little creamy, yet you still can taste the taste of the tea. The only downside is that it is a little small in size hmm.. So I have to order this drink twice.. sigh. sad

However, this is great for a nice afternoon break!

Baked Rice OK May 31, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Cantonese/Hong Kong | Restaurant

XinWang baked rice - My first XinWang dish!

 
Hmm, I will say that it taste pretty normal, just like any other baked rice. Just that the portion is a little small... hence, be prepared to order some side dishes to go along with this, a total no-no for big eaters.

 
The mozerella is very good though, its very strong and chewy~

However, I still feel that its a little overpriced for a simple baked rice...

Xin Wang HK Cafe OK May 27, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Cantonese/Hong Kong

Xin Wang - Looks promising, but I find the food so-so.

 
Went there a few months ago with my friends, ate the pork chop & papaya soup with noodles. Tasted pretty decent, however, I'm feeling a little disgusted that they used "maggi noodles" instead of any other type of noodles which somehow cheapens the entire dish. sad

 
The rest are ok, I wouldn't say that they tasted fabulous, but just made the mark. lol
