Kunefe is one typical Turkish dessert. But the one I had in Langkawi was not quite close to the original one. I must say, I prefer this version...
There are a lot of things going on in this plate. It is quite a complicated taste. Because it is a secret recipe, we respect that and tried to figure out our best what's made of it.
The cake itself is made of mozzarella cheese (or possibly goat cheese), with caramel, cinnamon and saffron? And the sauce is made of creamy milk, yogurt, almond and cinnamon. I love it how the taste blend really well.
This could only be the best dessert they have in the entire restaurant because it is also the only dessert in the menu.

Scones - cold, dry and hard.
The cake was OK, a bit too sweet. A bit too much cream too.
Apparently their croissants are award-winning ones. Unfortunately it's cold, hard and not even crispy at all. Obviously it has been left on the basket for a very long time...
Only selective branches are good. The one at Kingston is terrible, will not go back again. Besides, the waitress who served us has an attitude, not welcoming at all and rude as well (she asked us if we were going to tip her. Whether we want to tip or it is for us to decide, you don't ask for something you don't deserve at all!). So no way I'm going back to this place. Maybe another branch.

A friend mentioned they are famous for their gelato stuffed in the pastry but I did not try because i had too much for dinner...
So i ordered gelato instead. How can anybody leave Italy without having gelato??
Melon and coffee. Wrong combination i know! But I just felt like having both so yeah. Melon was pretty refreshing whole coffee was extremely heavy. Both were heavy in taste and not too sweet. Perfect isn't it?!
So this place has won numerous awards and recommended in various sites too. So try it if you happen to be around! :)
Coffee panna cotta. Panna cotta is so common, so I ordered the coffee flavoured one. The pudding is really smooth and not very sweet. Apparently their desserts are all homemade. If only I had more room I'd order the tiramisu too..

M&M's at Leicester Square
Four floors of fun!!
M&M candies, just pick whichever colour that you like :)
More like a candy museum than a shop, isn't it?!
It's pretty commercialized, from just coloured candies to pillows, shirts, jewelries, ties, mugs, you name it... Oh well, that's because concept store is a trend..
Rose-shaped mango!
Fruits can be THAT interesting!
Angry bird steamed buns! Now you can have a real life Angry Bird game!
Anyway, no details as it was a gift from someone. These buns are from Ipoh. Creative!

Located right at the top floor of La Rinascente, there is a chocolate section at the food market. Pretty heels and hand bag made of chocolate.... So pretty even if I buy, I won't eat it..
La Perla chocolates.. They have some really interesting chocolates. Bought the chocolate which has coffee bean in it. They have a variety of truffles too.
