ALBACORE TUNA SASHIMI wasabi oil, melon, cucumber and shiso

CHILLED SWEET CORN + ONION SOUP chili oil and basil

Surprisingly very refreshing sweet corn taste! Personally don't like cold soups.. I think this would taste good served hot as well.

SLOW COOKED LAMB SHOULDER pesto couscous, piperade and toasted pine nuts

I don't like couscous but I ordered this 'cause I like pesto and pine nuts! The sauce was pretty good.. pesto for couscous and tomato sauce with onions/red peppers for the lamb shoulder. Lamb shoulder was tender but I prefer texture of lamb chop/steak cut.

MUSHROOM + RICOTTA LASAGNA peas and pecorino cream

Love the smell of oyster mushrooms with the cream!  So earthy paired with the ricotta.. Quite heavy afterwards but pretty good.

COCONUT MILK + LEMONGRASS PANA COTTA pineapple, passion fruit and mint

This was my favorite course of the three. Pana cotta was so soft, silky smooth!! So milky with a hit of citrus.. and all the concentrated lemongrass flavor sitting at the bottom.

LAVENDER PEACH cornbread and verbena

Cornbread was dry and hard..

Overall I'd say the Mains and Pana Cotta were the best prepared..
After this lunch.. food journey continues to Magnum Pleasure Store & Butter Avenue!

I love the theme of this cafe!! WIRED CAFE is a place to wire things like a cafeteria, work place, a hang out lounge, and various lifestyle. A real community rooted in city lifestyle, discovering new values, crossing cultures.. food-music-fashion-art-culture, all together.

Pretty long wait for this Dutch Baby Oven Pancake but it was pretty good. Don't really remember what it tastes like (over a month ago), but it's essentially an egg-y pancake with apples and icecream, not too keen on the biscuits. They also have salty versions of this, plus pastas, salads, etc.

So happy with this recipe from Cooking With Dog!



It's super easy to make. Made some modifications according to bossacafez - used 50g yogurt and 150g tofu, and didn't have gelatin on hand so the texture was more creamy. Very light and tasty cake with slight cream cheese/tofu taste.

100g Cream Cheese (3.5 oz)
100g Firm Tofu (3.5 oz) ~ used 150g
100g Plain Yogurt (3.5 oz) ~ used 50g
50ml Whipping Cream (1.7 fl oz)

 五代同糖 @ MK. The menu has soo much variety! I wanted to try all the desserts but could only have this green tea snowflake 雪花冰。(There's actually a nicer name for it too) Thought it would be very watery/slushy but it was quite creamy and cold with green tea flavor, red bean, white jelly, white tapioca and basil seed.

I like this milk flavor with the oreo crumbs!

Paul Lafayet @ Hysan Place - Couldn't pass up the chance to get rubber duck macaron - passion fruit flavor, usually don't like passionfruit but it was my fav out of the three (green tea and rose) 15hkd each, pretty decent price.

I've been searching for a more dense and strong flavored banana bread and came across this Starbucks recipe here . I omitted the walnuts and vanilla and substituted 1% milk + squirt of lemon juice for the buttermilk.
Total baking time: 1 hr 15 mins.




Quite different from my usual recipe: dry ingredients mixed into egg/sugar/oil with banana added last. Was scared at first 'cause it was dry and clumpy but after the banana was added, everything looked better. It rose very well despite not having baking powder, very brown compared to usual yellow and fluffy. It somewhat tastes like sb version - sweet and sticky - but texture is still larger crumb while sb is smaller and more soft like a cake. (how?!) Anyway.. pretty satisfied - fam said it tastes really good and best I've made. :O

Greyhound Cafe ~ Life is a journey, full of pictures, places, stories and good tasting recipes.  
I just love this concept and was really eager to try the famous chicken wings and extensive selection of desserts. There are many branches across Bangkok (and Hong Kong) but the closest one to me was the sister brand - Another Hound Cafe at Siam Paragon. "Chic and glam Asian-Italian" food and ambiance.

 Love potato wedges and dip.

 Their famous chicken wings cut in half with the bone removed.




Risotto


Waffles with flambeed bananas and vanilla bean icecream.

Butao Ramen - voted Best Restaurant in CWB (Open Rice) and there was a long line up for it, but tbh I prefer the foodcourt/TO's ramen.

Of course, my must eat Australia Dairy Co. There was actually a line up this time and they're closed Thursdays now!! This time discovered the hot honey lemon water is the BEST!!

Simple is best: Tai Po Cooked Foods Market - best condensed milk toast!

the famous 奶油豬 @ 翠華

white curry lemongrass pork chop @ 沙嗲王 - can really taste the lemongrass!
