Yolait in Hong Kong

As I keep saying in previous entries, I miss yogurts a lot from United States. When I was there, yogurt is the major food of my diet. Out of all brands, I love yoplait the most. It was good quality and good price.

And surprisingly, I found this in HK's Parkin' supermarkets. The package is cuter but the taste and texture is different/ worse than the US' yoplait. Plus in Hong Kong there are very lack of varieties in term of flavors.

Trappist Milk's Low Fat Yogurt Drink

It's a continuous story about my passion on YOGURT product. Trappist is the well-known Hong Kong dairy producer since 1950's. I don't buy its products often but this yogurt drink was on sales for 2 drinks/$9.50HKD (about US$1.25).

hm... not bad as a low fat dessert/snack

Anlene Yogurt

People may ask what food I missed the most from US. It's one and only answer for that, YOGURT. There is not much choice on yogurt product here. I'm lucky to find out that Anlene is actually not bad.

Manna Korean Barbecque Restaurant

My brother came to visit last weekend. We shared so much fun together. He is a big meat lover so I brought him to the all-you-can-eat korean barbecque in Korean Town. Manna is one of the most popular restaurant in K-town because it got the outdoor part for smokers. The food and service is okay but at least I got nothing to complain.

The side dish is alright. Pickled tunip and carrot is my all-time favorite. They also offer spinach, hot pot egg tofu, sliced tunip and so. I like the traditional Korean sesame oil marinated yam noodles. Another interesting side was the rice flat noodle.

We two people killed 3 full plates of meat (one marinated beef, one marinated chicken and one beef brisket). The beef brisket is very fatty. I don't like that, it grossed me out a lot. Marinated meat both are good!!

Boulangerie Pierre & Patisserie

We drove all the way from LA to Garden Grove for lunch at the local famous French bakery, Boulangerie Pierre & Patisserie. The bakery is owned by a Frenchman who married a Vietnamese woman. The savory menu is more traditional/ frenchier than Viet-French bakery, instead of just offering baguette sandwiches, they have the authentic French savory snack, such as Croque Monsieur. Anny said that she loves it but paying $4 for a baked cheese topped ham and cheese sandwich .... she think it's too much. The croissant was good too but the cream in the middle was too heavy.
I don't even remember what the other plate called. It wasn't too good and JJ had no idea what it is. It's probably the invention of the owner but not a traditional French plate. I guess it's croque provencal because it's topped with tomato. The taste was not as exciting as the other two pastries, it looked more fancy/gourmet though.


A great meal can be great without matching beverage. A French light lunch would never go wrong with orangina or apple cider by what I observed from JJ. He took the Orangina and I drank my French pressed coffee.

We just get used to having dessert or a bit of something sweet after meals, no matter it's lunch or dinner. He was on the phone with mama so I was sent to pick the dessert. I bought the flan and chocolate eclair. The eclair was good but I was full so I pressed out the chocolate cream fill with my spoon to minimize "the harm". The flan was awesome, it's almost the worst I had so far. The texture was not good.. the taste was bad and dated. It's like a disastious cooking trial of new created recipe.

Nubi Yogurt

Nubi is one of the first self-service frozen yogurt store in CA.
The concept is fresh and fun. People go in the store and grab a cup which only has one size....
They add whatever favors they want themselves. There are about 16 favors in the San Gabriel branch, from the classic ORIGINAL and BERRIES (e.g. blueberry and strawberry), to tropical favors that everyone loves (e.g. mango tart)... to adventurous favors (e.g. taro, peanut butter, caffe latte, french vanilla)...

My current favorite: caffee latte, taro, french vanilla (i like peanut butter too.. but i know you would think "oh no, it's so gross" but it really tastes nice)

The favors I highly disgust: Green Apple, pistachio

No picture for this post.. for sure I will take more next time since I will visit there pretty often this summer.
