Mongkok Sweety

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Mongkok Sweety

WOW! It’s been ages! Been there way back in August after dinner at Mongkok with my friend’s friend’s partner while waiting for the guys to have a couple of after-dinner drinks nearby. Sweety is at 83 Gouger Street (upstairs of Mongkok).


Heard of this place a lot but never get the chance until then. It was packed and we were lucky to get table for 2.


Left: Hot chocolate.
Right: Black sesame soup with peanut sweet balls (AUD7.80), the balls were rather small hahaha… I was expecting it to be big. Can’t see in the photos as it’s hidden inside.

Well… It wasn’t that bad, environment was OK. The dessert I had was OK. Just a place to hang out but didn’t give me any lasting impression.

Dessert Story in Adelaide

Posted on By sweet surrender 1 Comment on Dessert Story in Adelaide


Dessert Story is one of the dessert chains/franchise serving various hot and cold Hong Kong and Taiwan desserts. Heard quite a fair bit about it and finally I managed to go there back in October! Yes! Another October post. So far, went there twice.


Left: Taro ball tofu pudding (AUD6.20), you can have it hot or cold.
Right: Green tea and vanilla ice cream served with strawberry slice and grass jelly in coconut milk (AUD8.50).


Left: Herbal ice + taro ball + cream (AUD6.80), I really like it. Very filling too! You can have it hot or cold. This is cold version with crushed ice. Hot one will have red bean soup base. I tried the hot version and it’s too sweet! Cold is still the best.
Right: Milk snow ice with crystal jelly and mango juice with popping pearl (AUD10.90). HUGE! Have to share this, it’s delicious.

Overall, the dessert here is quite big in portion. I could just have it as a meal! So filling! Seriously! It’s not bad, I would go back. With the portion and the price, I’m ok with it.

Just a quick post.


After having lunch at Vesarelli, we went to Bracegirdle’s just down the road for dessert/coffee.




They specialised in coffee and chocolates.


Left: croissant with straveberries and warm liquid Belgian Chocolate.
Right: Pure Indulgence (The Waffle!) A true Belgian sugar waffle served with fresh strawberries, liquid Belgian Chocolate & ice cream.


Left: Latte.
Right: Horchata (AUD4.30), South American sweet and spicy white hot chocolate. Couldn’t really taste any spiciness LOL but it wasn’t bad.

It’s a great place to hang out with friends. The chocolate was smooth and yummy too!

Vasarelli @ McLaren Vale

Posted on By sweet surrender 1 Comment on Vasarelli @ McLaren Vale

Celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival with my friends at Vesarelli at McLaren Vale. Only post it now. So long ago! In fact I have lots of posts not release yet. Too many photos, too many things to do, too much happenings too. I’m still trying to make sense and take in all that came to me. I’m overwhelmed. In fact, I feel quite depressed. Trying to be positive but it’s not easy at all.

Anyway, back to the post about the food we had.

We were there early, the place was still empty but later it was packed to the brim!


Left: Calamari Fritti con Sale e Pepe (AUD19 – appetiser; AUD24 – main course), squid fried in local extra virgin olive oil, topped on a bed of mixed lettuce and finished with spring onions, red onions, roasted capsicum and a lemon mustard seed dressing. I like this.

Right: I some how lost this name, it’s rice based starter. Tasted just like our black rice.


Left: Carre D’Agnello (AUD29), chargrilled rack of lamb, cooked medium rare (or to your liking), served with a spring onion Skordalia, chargrilled capsicum, and finished with a warm feta, zucchini, pinenut and Local olive oil dressing.

Right: Salmone al Pinocchietto (AUD28), pan friend salmon with roasted beetroot, asparagus and fennel salad finished with an orange and caper salsa. I should have order this! This wasn’t on the menu, it’s the special of the day.


Left: Risotto con Funghi e Anatra (AUD22 – starter; AUD27 – main course), Arborio rice tossed through braised duck leg, Swiss and porcini mushrooms. Finished with baby spinach, parmesan cheese and a drizzle of truffle oil.

Right: Pappaderdelle Allo Scoglio (AUD23 – starter; AUD28 – main course), ribbon pasta tossed through black mussels, prawns, squid, cockles, scallop & bug tails, finished with a hint of garlic, ripe tomatoes, parsley and white wine and chili.


Left: Taglierini Al Granchio (AUD22 – starter; AUD27 – main course), Taglierini, fine fettuccine pasta tossed through pan seared SA crab meat and cherry tomatoes, flamed with brandy. Finished with a dash of cream, chili and served with half fresh blue swimmer crab.

Right: I regeretted ordered this. Should order the salmon, more worth it. Saltinbocca Alla Romana (AUD28), veal medallions pan fried and topped with prosciutto, sage and provolone cheese and served with cannellini-beans, wild spinach and potatoes.

Overall, the food was so-so. We had expected a lot from here but ended up with disappointment. We later found out that the original chef was on sick leave. Maybe that’s why.

Bukit Mata Seafood

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Bukit Mata Seafood


Went to Bukit Mata Seafood at Stutong One Jaya for dinner with my family. It’s the same owner of one of the seafood stalls at Top Spot Bukit Mata except this one at One Jaya is halal.


Left: Paku stir fried with garlic.
Right: Mani Cai with egg, Japanese tofu with don’t-know-what *LOL*.


Left: O-jien. Extremely huge!
Right: Don’t remember what type of fish we had. In general, it’s steamed fish. Not nice…

I’m not sure of the total price, I wasn’t the one paying. Not the best seafood I had. Everything just didn’t taste nice that night. I guess it’s because I was in a rush and didn’t get to savour the food properly.
