Custard bun & Egg Tarts from Room Eighteen

Room Eighteen is a restaurant under the management of Tai Thong Group which sells a variety of Hong Kong cuisines and dim sums. Today, I packed their famous custard buns and egg tarts home to eat as my supper.

Great!

Custard bun (RM 5.80)
One set of custard buns consisted of 3 medium sized soft buns.

Great!

The custard buns' fillings consisted of a paste made from egg yolk and sweet custard. Remember to eat the buns when they are hot as the fillings will flow out from the bun and melts in the mouth. Super creamy and rich in egg yolk taste. One bun is never enough for me, thus I ate all three in one go. Extremely full after consuming all the buns.

Great!

Great!

Crispy egg tart (RM 4.30)
One set of egg tart consisted of two egg tarts.

Great!

The pastry is quite flaky and crispy but I don't really like the pastry because I find it a bit thick.

Great!

The egg custard is soft, smooth and runny and melts in the mouth. And the best part is the egg custard is not really sweet, just right for me.....Yummy yummy....

Total damage including 6 % tax = RM 10.70

The box containing my cake

Double Decker Chocolate Mousse

I actually quite enjoyed this cake because it was not overly sweet but lacked of chocolate taste. This cake consisted of 2 very thin layer moist chocolate sponge cake and two layer of chocolate mousse. The top of the cake is topped with a layer of chocolate coating. Remember to eat all the layers together to enjoy the best of the cake.

Ninja Meal @ Ninja Joe Tropicana City Mall

Ninja Joe (founded in 1999) is a fast food chain which specialises in pork burgers according to the Japanese concept. Currently, they have outlets in The Gardens Mall (Mid Valley), 1 Utama Shopping Mall, Sunway Pyramid (Next to TGIF), Setia City Mall and Tropicana City Mall. I got the following from their Tropicana outlet to eat as my supper:

Cute little container to fill up the Shuriken (RM 4.90)

The Shuriken is 4 sided star shaped resembling the little weapon used by ninjas. A total of 5 pieces of Shuriken were given, about RM 1 each piece.

Shuriken is actually pork nuggets with mashed potatoes. Basically, the nugget consisted very little pork meat as it is mainly made of potato and tasted more like french fries. It is best to eat it while it is hot because after leaving it cold, the batter will be soften, not crispy anymore.

I also had their Super Ninja Burger (RM 6.90)
The Super Ninja has a piece of grilled pork patty, a fried egg, cheese, lettuce and tomato slice in between 2 pieces of buns.

Great!

Patrons are given a choice of 6 different flavors to choose from: Original, Oriental, Sweet & Sour, Teriyaki, Black Pepper and Spicy. I tried the burger with black pepper sauce. The black pepper sauce is just slightly spicy, just right for my liking.

Great!

The lettuce layer....

Great!

The burger is quite tasty when eaten together with all the ingredients. The buns were nice when soaked with the mayonnaise and lettuce dressing.

Great!

The meat patty part

The meat patty was fragrant and tender.......thumbs up..........

Free hot tea

Chilli sauce to eat with the noodles

Very good sauce, made from bean paste, chopped shallots and chillies......eat by itself is a little bit spicy but eat together with the noodles, it taste just right.......

Suey Choy Pork Strip Noodles (RM 10.30 after tax)

There were lots of vegetables ("Choi Sum") being provided in the noodles, which is a good way to add on more fibres to your meal. Besides, there were also lots of Suen Choy in the noodles; but the shredded pork's amount is not that much. I like the slight sour taste of the soup due to the suen choy. I nearly finished up all the soup..hehe...The noodles were not bad too, slightly springy...I think this is a healthy meal; not oily and lots of greens.

Ham Tan Sou @ Esquire Kitchen

After my break from shopping last week, I passed by Esquire Kitchen in Tropicana Mall and decided to get their Ham Tan Sou @ Salted Egg Pastry as my snack.

Ham Tan Sou (RM 1.80)
The lovely shaped Ham Tan Sou with little bits of sesame seed sprinkled on the pastry skin. The sesame seed make the Ham Tan Sou more fragrant and appetizing. The Ham Tan Sou is fully filled with lotus paste; which isn't too sweet. This is good as I do not like my lotus paste to be too sweet.

 

Can you spot the salted egg yolk??? I am sure you can see as the portion of egg yolk inserted is quite big.........definitely not as stingy like Tuan Yuan's Ham Tan Sou where you can't see any of the egg yolk at all....with that amount of salted egg yolk, I managed to satisfy my cravings for egg yolk....yummy yummy.....

Chocolate Mint Cake @ Pastry Culture

Since I have started working in Tropicana, I've become a fan of Pastry Culture's cakes. But is slightly disappointed with the Chocolate Mint with Irish Cream cake. The chocolate flavor is good but the cake doesn't really have mint taste and the white chocolate decoration on top taste weird.

Chocolate Mint with Irish Cream cake (RM 8.90)
Can see the little green thingy? That's the mint.......
