Craving for something sweet and wish to cool down a bit under the scorching heat? After reviewing…read moreon all those nice restaurants in Tai hang, it is high time to write one on a dessert place - The Pudding Nouveau. It is time to satisfy the cravings and they offer lots of choices. Mango Yogurt, Chocolate Fondant, Lemon Parfait, Souffle, you name it! I have not tried all of them but it surely does not disappoint. If you are just looking for a simple meal, of course they do have other choices like all day breakfast that costs ranging from HKD$88 to HKD$98. However, I stand by what I said before, Bricklane still offers the best Egg Benedict so I will stick with the desserts instead. However, there is still room for improvement unfortunately. First, I understand that dessert places normally do not provide nice seatings and stuff; but given that it is decorated as one of those café, I expected a lot more in terms of the atmosphere. I wish it was more cozy as this was not spacious at all; to pay the enormous rent here, you will expect diners come and go and you will be expected to leave the table once you finish your meal. Which is very disappointing to be honest. Also, I do not understand why there is only one waiter when it is that hectic all the time there. I feel sorry for the server sometimes as it clearly is too much to handle.

Other than that, service is quite good and the environment is quite chill.

***Tasty Salad that could be fit for Mains!***…read more I've always loved their "Miso Cod & Japanese Eggplant Salad" so much that I could eat it for Main-course ! (Of course I might need TWO portions of it). The infusion of Sake makes the salad all the more splendid. It's a great combination of good taste and healthy ingredients. The Cod is obviously the star ingredient .... it wasn't very flaky (as fish can be a bit flaky sometimes), and yet not very hard either. It had a slightly chewy consistency which I found just perfect ! And the Eggplant?... well...because of this salad I've started liking eggplant because I NEVER used to eat it before . Obviously, the reason is that the eggplant comes out as very tasty when combined with all these ingredients! (I still wouldn't eat eggplant if it's a part of any dish except for this salad!) Other ingredients such as sesame and spring onion lend a bit of crunchiness/nuttiness to the salad which is definitely a welcome addition. Overall, I'd say this salad has awesome taste and it also helps me lose weight!

When it's a colleague's last day at the workplace, it's safe to say the one big question on…read moreeveryone's minds is usually: what kind of cake will they bring in? Some people go the extra mile and head over to the cake shop at the long-established Mandarin Oriental Cake Shop. Obviously, this differs based on workplace, culture, country etc - I'll never forget the look on an old American colleague's face when he was told the norm in the UK is to buy your OWN leaving cake and pay for leaving drinks! The Opera cake pictured is meant to be the signature dessert here and is a safe option with its velvety chocolate layers plus a hint of coffee and I am still thinking about how light the mousse sandwiched between the sponge was. My favourite bit was the crunchy layer at the bottom - literally like I was making music (note the very appropriate quaver musical note decoration). I'm not sure how willing I would be to part with almost HK$350 for a decadent but small 13x13cm opera cake. However, for HK$48, I'm happy to indulge in a little slice of luxury from time to time.

Since 1984, the bakery focuses on traditional treats. Loved the banana cake which is light and addictively delicious. The pan fried mochi with sesame seeds is so unique. The shop has a decent line that moves quickly. No surprise that it has been Michelin recommended and featured on Netflix. Next time, I'll try the wife cake.

Tai Tung has a long history in Hong Kong. It is famous for their wife cakes and pineapple buns…read more They were one of the major players in getting pineapple buns recognized as one of Hong Kong's 480 intangible cultural heritages in June of 2014. I recently visited this famed bakery and tried their original wife cake and one that is green bean and ginger flavored. Both were warm, flaky and gooey in the middle. I loved that the original was not too sweet and had an extremely fresh flavor. The green bean and ginger was also really interesting. I liked that there was just a hint of ginger and that it wasn't overpowering. Because I didn't learn until later that they were also famous for their pineapple buns during my first visit, I had to return to check them out. I bought an original pineapple bun and a Tai Tung pineapple bun. The original one was rather disappointing. It might have been that I didn't get one that was fresh out of the oven and it was cold that day so they cooled down quicker than normal. The top wasn't especially crispy and the bottom was actually kind of rubbery. The Tai Tung pineapple bun is interesting because it has pineapple inside! I didn't think that the pineapple filling actually added too much pineapple flavor to the bun though. Although unique, I was also a little bit disappointed with this one. I would say stick with the wife cake and skip the pineapple buns from here.

Cupcakes are probably one of the prettiest desserts out there. They're a nice pop of color, cute,…read moreand look absolutely delicious. I've already established that Sift makes the best cupcakes in HK, but I passed by Twelve Cupcakes at Windsor House the other day and the pretty displays of the cupcakes arranged in their delicate rows were just too cute to pass up. I ended up dragging my mother, who generally despises all things sweet, into the store to pick out a cupcake. They had all the typical cupcake flavors - red velvet, Oreo, peanut butter chocolate etc. After some heavy consideration, I decided to go with the classic cupcake flavor - red velvet. For some reason, I find the cupcakes here not as... attractive as others I've seen. I think it's the way the frosting is piled up in the middle of the cupcake rather than being more spread out and filling the entire top if the cupcake. I don't know, but as they say, don't judge a book by its cover! And I'm glad I didn't - because the cupcake was pretty good. The frosting was smooth and creamy, and the cupcake itself was very light and not too dense. However, I found the frosting a little too sweet. With mid-autumn festival coming up, Twelve Cupcakes is joining in on the celebrations by having special moon cake cupcakes. I actually just saw them online, but I'm going to make it a point to try one before the festival ends!

I love that they serve traditional Chinese desserts such as black sesame soup, glutinous rice balls in ginger soup, yams in ginger soup, etc. but also have a lot of new and innovative desserts such as jelly noodles. I also love the fruit basket desserts that I dub as "healthy" desserts. These have a variety of fruit and jelly in them with a mango puree. I've also has their black sesame soup with the glutinous rice balls and that was really good. I love that the glutinous rice ball with peanut filling actually has bits of peanuts in it so there was a nice texture to it. Although there is sometimes a wait, I think it's worth it if you're looking for a solid Chinese style dessert join.
