Central

Okay, this was a while ago. I had lunch at soho with my sister.

The restaurant was really pretty and the food was pretty great.


Their Home-made pasta with white wine sauce
Penne carbonara with poached egg
I dislike bacon a lot, so I left it all on the plate

Salad. It was pretty damn good for a salad
After that, we went to Dylan's Cnady Bar for some sweets. It's in Onpedder in Central for only 3 weeks!


HK Disneyland Hollywood Hotel

Yupp. I went to Disney's Hollywood Hotel for lunch - buffet style. (which means eating more desserts than entrees!!)

I forgot to take pictures for the actual meal food (aka. entrees) since I was soo hungry. Anyhow, they were pretty food except for their sushi. The rice was probably stuffed into sushi rice shape, rectangle molds. The proteins were great - although I only ate a little (I don't like meat that much, I'm like a semi vegetarian =P)

So. These are the desserts I got.

Tiramisu that does not contain alcohol (probably cause its disney), though it was really good
Their new york cheesecake. Once again, it was pretty good.

Overall, the food variety was great and yes it is worth trying.

Pink Macarons


Pink macarons look complicated and taste like they're really complicated to make, but they're really not that hard.  They make awesome gifts for people because they look... awesome.  And classy.  And for gawd's sake, they're pink!  We made these a little while back and trust me, everyone loves them.

Pink Macarons

50g white chocolate
1 tablespoon thick cream
1 egg white
1 tablespoon caster sugar (sifted)
pink food coloring
100g icing sugar
60g almond meal

  1. Make white chocolate ganache by melting the white chocolate and then mixing in the thick cream.
  2. Whisk egg white until fluffy, then beat in sugar and food coloring. 
  3. Fold in the icing sugar and almond meal.
  4. Using a piping bag with a 1-2 cm plain opening, pipe the mixture onto a tray. The piped mixture should be round, approximately 4 cm wide. Remember to leave space between them!
  5. Stand for 15 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius.
  7. Bake macarons for 20 minutes.
  8. After the macarons have cooled down, sandwich them with ganache and dust with icing sugar!
