A few more desserts from Jin Yu Man Tang Dessert Shop (金玉满堂甜品)

Back at Jin Yu Man Tang. Love the peach gum with milk and mango. This was chilled. Many chunks of peach gum in the sweet milk.

Had a variation that has clear jelly instead of peach gum. Flavour's the same but there's a textural difference between the peach gum and the smoother clear jelly. I don't think the jelly has any flavour.

Hot sago with taro was also delicious. I like how the sweetness in these were moderated. You know, not too sweet. 😬

酸菜 bowls and golden coins at GO Noodle House

 

I've only realized that there is pickled vegetable (酸菜) soup for the noodles at GO Noodle House recently so we came by for some.

We liked it. The broth wasn't as intense nor oily as most 酸菜鱼. Expect a good hit of sour from the pickled mustard greens but little to no heat. Sliced mackerels were firm and thick and those beef balls were dense and rough. I also liked how their noodles absorbed the soup flavouring itself. Definitely coming back for more.

Tried something called golden coin. Tasted like bak kwa.

Taro soy milk with mochi from Chinese Tofu Magician (半仙豆夫)

Came across this limited edition taro flavour at Chinese Tofu Magician. It's just taro flavouring in their usual drink with those "white jade" balls and soy foam. I thought it tasted more coconut-y than taro-like. Still liking them so far.

A Hawaiian with pomegranate and spaghetti with meatballs at Zazz Pizza

We've been having Zazz Pizza (一, 二, 三, 四, 五, 六, 七, 八, 九, 十) more often lately because they're sadly closing at the end of October. Something to do with building renovation for Cross Street Exchange.

First time getting lemon tea here. There's vanilla flavour in it. Hmmm......

So we've noticed that the pears used in their grilled Brie starter weren't as soft or juicy today like the previous times we've had them. Seems like they don't have a secret supplier of conference pears out of season after all. 😏

Spaghetti and meatballs. Sauce was pomodoro with some cheese. The thing on top was a poached egg, not burrata. We got this because their meatball starter was not bad tasting.

Aside from the poached egg, there was a stewed whole Roma tomato in the pasta. Tangy and umami that was.

Meatballs were stuffed with cheese. But the texture of the meat was too fine and lacked character for a meatball. Didn't taste like the meatball starter we thought it would.

Zazz has one of the better if not the best Hawaiian pizzas around. Change my mind if you can. We upped their ante by adding pomegranate so that there was extra sour on top of the citrus sweet to cut through the ham and cheese. 👍🏼

Green Spicy from Ramen Keisuke Tori King

I haven't been back to the Tori King since the last disappointing episode. Didn't have much of a reason to because of the standards of their disappointing "extra hard" noodles, my "it's me not you" take on their chicken leg and that I'm not so big on their chicken broth. I'm gonna call it here and say that I like Brothers Ramen and Marutama's tori paitan more.

But I had been wondering about the Green Spicy for a while so here's putting an end to that curiosity. The creamy wasabi sauce layered on the chicken wasn't very potent. It's decent as an accompaniment for the chicken but don't expect it to do very much beyond adding a hint of it's flavour if it's mixed in their already thick chicken broth.

Spicy mazesoba from Ramen Hitoyoshi

The spicy minced meat was probably the main ingredient providing heat for Ramen Hitoyoshi's spicy mazesoba. There's some heat but it wasn't exactly burning.

The plate can be spruced with bean sprouts, ground sesame seed, black pepper and La-Yu. Which was what I did.

Added a bit more texture and character to the spiciness. 

Just noticed that they have juice + Yakult drinks. This one was cloudy apple with Yakult and it tasted like how I/you would imagine it.
