tong pak fu

tong pak fu, well the ones i normally visit is the one in empire, midvalley, ss15 and sunway pyramid. they do have plentiful of outlets though. they take pride in their tracka durian-snow-ice and d24 durian snow-ice, many durian lovers flock over to tongpakfu for their durian desserts. i've tried their tracka durian ice before, but its not my fav. i still prefer chilled real genuine durains, anytime. it tasted slightly to mild down and hence slightly artificial for me.

so i normally order the black sesame ice instead. if you don't know i'm an avid goma-adzuki beans fan. like avid. the topping are normally jelly but i always chnge them to all red-beans. i just feel like it goes better. the black sesame flavour is really there. this is my usual whenever i visit tongpakfu. and it is a musttry for all black sesame fans out there. this tops the durian series, any day. 8.90 for a regular serving.

decided to be adventurous one of the times and tried the soya ice and the mango in milk with sago. i'm not a fan of sago so the mango thing was not my thing. i love the soya ice series in snowflake so i was looking forward to this as well. but boy was i disappointed. it was really extremely bad. i literally took only a few spoonfuls and left it to melt away-yes it was that bad. it was quite tasteless.

being a black sesame fan, i ordered the black sesame tangyuens, coated in black sesame. to my disappointment, there was too little black sesame filling inside. priced at 4.90, super not worth it. the first batch that came was super undercook and i had to request for another one. was not impressed at all. and the servers there could not understand my english, nor mandarin either. i'm always not a fan of service industries employing people who can't even communicate in the same language. i mean waht kind of service industry would that be then, right. they have the peanut filling one as well, same price. initially, well according to the very misleading brochure, i thought i'd be getting 3 black sesame tangyuens and 3 peanut tangyuens for 5 bucks. but i was wrong. super misleading menu.

choco lava cake (which took forever). i am in love with choco lava cakes. the hot-cold-combo, to me is just perfect. okay what i liked about this was the black sesame tuille that came with the dessert. what i didn't like about it was the cake. i felt it was slightly burnt because the cake was very bitter. it was baked to perfection, yes with a very gooey consistency in the centre but the taste was off. i've had better.

well. i'm still a tongpakfu lover, but, just for the black sesame ice and nothing else.

till next time,
