Desserts
Unique Belgian Waffle with Praline Ice-cream, Chocolate Dip and seasonal Fresh Fruit ($18.50). The waffle was very disappointing - very soggy and it's structure was too thin. The ice-cream on the other hand was very delicious - full of flavour and very smooth. The chocolate dip was pretty watery - I'm quite biased towards dark chocolate - this was milk chocolate. The fruits were fresh and delicious. On the whole, I would rather the dish without the chocolate dip or the waffle - which makes it really just fruit with ice-cream. For what the place is, a Belgian chocolate café, this dish was very substandard. Don't bother ordering it - poor quality and over priced.


Drinks
Guylian Belgian Chocolate Special ($9.50) - Guylian Praline Chocolate, yogurt, mixed berry fruits, raspberry sauce, chocolate milk,topped with whipped cream. This drink is quite an interesting one. The mixture of yoghurt and chocolate milk together with berries is an excellent combination. Only downside to this drink is the rock solid praline chocolate at the bottom of the drink. It was very difficult to dig it out.

Camomile Tea served with milk chocolate truffle ($5.70). This tea was excellent - highly floral aromatic. However for $5.70 a cup, I would have expected it to be served with honey. The truffles and praline served with the tea are the typical Guylian chocolate one can buy from a supermarket.


Overall
This place is a perfect tourist trap! The food here is pretty overpriced and sub-standard. Service is slow. I will not return here again, nor recommend this place to anyone else.

Hi guys! It's day 6 of our COVID-19 stay-at-home plan. I've decided to resurrect my blog by sharing our meals with you guys. Tonight on the menu is my version of a Kimchi Pork Stew. It's super easy to make and you don't have to follow the vegetable recommendations strictly here. You can use whatever veggies you like. So here's it! It's best served with rice. Ingredients 200g Pork - Best cuts are belly if not shoulder or leg is fine. 1 tablespoon Oil 1 cup Kimchi 1 tablespoon Korean spicy red pepper paste (Gochujang) 3 cups water Your choice of mushrooms and vegetables. 1 packet of spicy Korean instant noodles 300g Medium tofu sliced (Optional) Spring onion to garnish Marinade Mixture 2 tablespoon of wine - Chinese cooking wine, Mirin/ cooking sake, or sherry 1 tablespoon of soy sauce 1 teaspoon of black pepper Method 1) Cut pork into thin slices. I have around 200g of pork shoulder here, but pork belly would be even better. It's bes

COVID-19 Stay at Home Day 7: Crispy Rice Cakes Recipe

Hey guys! Just sharing a quick analogy about numbers and COVID-19 and why you should avoid the disease before I post my recipe of the day. Imagine you have a packet of M&Ms with 100 little chocolates in it. Now you're being told between 2-6 pieces in that packet has cyanide in it, and there are a few that will give you violent diahorrea what would you do?  1) Throw the whole packet away 2) Eat it cause I won't die from diahorrea 3) Eat it cause what's the risk of dying, it's just 2-6%?! 4) Eat it and share it with all your friends and family and even your doggy! Personally, the most logical answer for me is to throw the whole packet away. It's the same reason why I'm staying at home to help stop the spread of COVID-19. I guess it's really food for thought! That said, here's my recipe for today! I've had some leftover rice from last night and NO WAY, not wasting any rice as it's super hard to find rice out there. I've turn my lef

COVID-19 Stay at Home Day 9: Souffle Egg Omelette Garlic Chives Recipe

RRRIIINNNNNNGGGGG!!!!! The fire alarm went off in large apartment block nearby. Residents started evacuating the building. It was a very interesting sight watching hundreds of people trying to practice social distancing while being evacuated! In the news, a nursing home was evacuated due to a fire as well. Social distancing was very challenging in that situation too. While during this challenging times, social distancing is so important. It also helps to reduces risk of the spread of disease in situations of emergency when social distancing is a challenge. Staying at home is vital. I've been practicing this question whenever I want to go out. Can I do what I want to do outside from my home? Shopping. Mostly can be done online. Exercising. Challenging, but not impossible to do at home. Getting sunshine and fresh air. The balcony is an amazing place to be! Work. Yep, I'm fortunate to be set up at my desk. Play. Defintely have more than enough online games to pl
