Ragged School Museum in London

The Ragged School Museum is a nice place to visit as you get to see how schools were in the Victorian times.
There are clothes at the near the stairs which you can try and there is a tea bar at the basement but there wasn't anyone around to serve drinks.

Lime Caviar and its culinary potential in dishes

Ever since I heard about Lime Caviar I have always wanted to try it.
I literally thought they were pearls made with lime juice using molecular gastronomy.

To my excitement, I finally got to see them at Hofex on the second day.

Lime Caviar comes from Finger Limes native to Australia and there are quite a few different colours available.
The best thing is that Finger Limes are all natural and the beauty is that you will find tiny pearls when you slice it open and squeeze it.

These pearls will burst zesty tangy juice so imagine taking dishes to the next level by garnishing oysters or anything that needs a zesty and colourful finish!

You can now get them in tubs which are quick and convenient to serve by spooning them out and sprinkling them on whatever you fancy.

The good news is that you can now get them in Hong Kong through [Eat The Kiwi].


[Eat The Kiwi] offers a good range of New Zealand groceries.

Also at the booth, I spotted some Deer Milk powder which is said to be rich and creamy.
Deer Milk was apparently on the menu at the worlds 50 best in Macau so I wouldn't mind just drinking a pure shot of deer milk to see how it tastes!!


About [Eat The Kiwi]:
Eat The Kiwi was born out of the success of The Produce Company, a business responsible for sourcing and delivering high quality, fresh food to many of New Zealand’s top restaurants since the 80’s.

In the early days they started exporting to Super Yachts and Luxury Hotels in the Pacific but then as they learnt how to provide small consolidated orders to hard to find locations, they decided on taking Eat the Kiwi to the World by hoisting a New Zealand flag.

They landed in Hong Kong in 2015. For the first two years, their carefully chosen, fresh New Zealand ingredients were only available to top restaurants and hotels, but they soon found out that people were eager to access their naturally good food in their own homes too.

In recent years they have opened Eat the Kiwi Offices in Shanghai and Western Samoa.

World's first frozen Hong Kong Egg Waffles

Eggettes, Egglettes, Eggpuffs, EggWaffles whatever you call them are all the same thing.
These waffles which look like connected semi spheres is a popular street snack in Hong Kong that costs around $18-$60.
Some restaurants have taken them to the next level by serving them in a fancy and high end way.

Now you can get these egg waffles that are frozen and ready to serve just like your usual waffles and pancakes at the local supermarket.

They take a couple minutes in the oven or toaster and you will get that hot, crispy, fluffy egg waffle right in your own home.

I tried them in the oven and they definitely turned out crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.

Each box it neatly packaged and you will find two servings boxed in the plastic trays.

As well as the original, there are other flavours available on their website.

Overall, I am very satisfied with these ready to eat egg waffles and hope to see them available at Chinese supermarkets in UK.
The only option I would like to see is a sugar free option so that it won't be too sweet when I add other fancy things like ice cream and other sweet treats.

The size of these waffles makes good egg waffle sandwiches by placing fillings in the middle like the smores waffle I had at Eggsentially Art which came from their booth.

[Review] Sainsbury Christmas Teas 2018 - Brussel Sprouts tea and Pigs in Blanket Flavour Tea.

Christmas is more exciting than ever because the food trend is changing.
This year Sainsbury have launched two teas that will make you look twice.

At Sainsbury, you can now get festive Brussel Sprouts tea and Pigs in Blanket Flavour Tea.


Brussels Sprouts Flavour Tea:
For people who dislike sprouts, they are more sensitive to something that they do not like.
As I am ok with sprouts I thought the tea just tasted like green tea so it was nice.

Pigs in Blanket Flavour Tea:
The smell of this one was rather strong, you could smell rosemary and sage as soon as you opened the packet.
As a tea, I found it quite smokey but not too bad.

[FUJIYA] Bake Shop Almond Brownie

Tried the [FUJIYA] Bake Shop Almond Brownie which turned out to be too sweet and dry.


Happy Hour Cheese Cream Filled Wafers

Happy Hour makes me think of drinks not wafers!
Anyway, these wafers were ok but not memorable.
