Finally a picture of me, a selfie, though you can find it in a smaller version in the avatar section at the start of my blog. I chose this picture for the simple reason that, this is me, the real me, the foodie part of perksofbeingshona. The fact that I have "Roasted Corn" snacks on me shows that I am ALWAYS surrounded by food whether it is meals or snacks, which clearly shows my passion for eating.

 Well, basically I live for eating good food.

REVIEW : MOY ZHOU CHINESE FOOD

Hello people :)

I'm back after some months with yet another review, this time I am reviewing a "simple" restaurant named MOY ZHOU CHINESE FOOD which is found in Port Louis, more precisely in the Heritage Court at Arsenal Street.

So let's jump right into the menu, we ordered 

1) Sa Ho Fan (Noodle stir fry with eggs, vegetables and chicken)

2) Boiled chicken Wonton 

3) Sao Mai, Niouk Yen and Meat dumpling

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Some pictures of the fast food are as follows :

The outside :

The inside  :

The fact that the restaurant is inside the Heritage Court, makes it more cosy and very peaceful to have lunch there.

The atmosphere is fine with some background sound of a television playing so as to entertain the persons waiting for their food.

So overall, i would rate this restaurant 4/10, i did not really like the food but they do offer a great service, the food came in not more than 5 minutes of waiting which is actually a good thing.

Let me remind you people, this is MY opinion about the food and the restaurant, some might find it the opposite :)

That's it for the review, see you in my next post, and brace youselves MORE posts coming soon ;)

REVIEW : CUPPA BUBBLETEA

Hello everyone, 

I'm back after one month or so, i apologize for being absent for such a long time, 

today i'll be reviewing  CUPPA BUBBLETEA found in Rose-Hill near the Rose-Hill stadium.

First of all, let me tell you, my friends and I had a lot of difficulty to find out where it is situated as it is find near the Rose-Hill stadium which is quite far from the bus station.

As you all know, I am a big fan of bubble teas, and this love for bubbletea makes me want to try each and every bubbletea shops found in our small country, Mauritius.

So let's begin with the reviewing, i ordered the PEACH FRUIT TEA (Jasmine Green Tea) overall i was not that pleased with the taste of the bubbletea, i was rather disappointed and also the tapioca pearls were not that chewy as i would expect them to be. The tapioca pearls were kind of falling apart when i was chewing them, they were not that "yummy", i would give it a 5/10.

I think the quality of the bubbletea at CUPPA will change for sure as they have recently opened, ( Practice makes perfect, right? ;) 

Let me remind everyone of you that this is MY opinion about the bubbletea, someone else could find it tasty!!

BUT what i really loved there, is the fact that you can either order a regular (500ml) or a Large (700ml), both cost Rs 69 and Rs 79 respectively which is a good price range.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE : 24/08/14 : I am definitely giving CUPPA now a 10/10, the taste of the bubbleteas has improved and really surprised me, they are doing a great job, do go check this fabulous bubbletea shop when you are in Rose-Hill or near.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some pictures i took at the CUPPA BUBBLETEA, here's a bit how it is inside, couldn't take more pictures.

This is what the plastic cup looks like, this is the large one (700ml) 

Here are the tapioca pearl 

REVIEW : HI BUBBLE TEA & FRIED CHICKEN

Good evening everyone,

Today i accompanied a friend to Rose-Hill, as he had to do some printing stuffs, so i seized that occasion to go get myself a drink at Hi Bubble Tea & Fried Chicken, which originally sells Bubblea Tea; it is a drink with Tapioca pearls which is originated from Taiwan. I chose to take a Passion Fruit Bubble Tea with Tapioca Pearls since the owner told me it is the best seller so far, i said "Why not?". I do not regret spending my Rs 69 on it. It is worth the price!

As i'm a huge Bubble Tea lover, i will definitely give it a 10/10

Sorry for the bad quality of the pictures :(

This is how it looks like :

It is sealed with an Angry Bird sticker, I totally am in love with the packaging :)

This is how the Tapioca Pearls look like! They are like marshmallows. I love eating them while drinking my Bubble Tea!

So that's it for today. 

Take care and see you guys next time :)

REVIEW : SNOWOW

Hi ♥

I hope everyone reading my blog is fine and having a nice start of the weekend :D

Today i'll be reviewing a place called SnoWow, which is found in Port Louis. You'll find mainly deserts there, and the deserts are yummy. Yesterday after having lunch, a friend of mine said why don't we go and have a desert at SnoWow, since we never got to go there and only heard of it from friends.

The atmosphere is awesome, no noises just people eating, talking and laughing which i appreciate! 

I grabbed the menu which looks like this :

On the first page you have some words about SnoWow.

Here starts the menu and the prices. The prices are affordable!

and you also have the option of creating your own SnoWow which is really amazing!

Here are their contact details and the address :

We took these two delicious SnoWow, Choco Dance and Passionately Chee.

This one is the Passionately Chee

I'll definitely give this a 20/10

Atmosphere : very nice/cool/with nice music in the background

Service : 10/10 (the waiters are kind)

Quality of food : 9/10

As soon as my friend and I went in, we looked for a place for two, some seconds later a very kind waiter came to take our order for a beverage.  As we were thirsty, we took two Ice Teas, lemon and peach flavour. I'm a huge Ice Tea lover :$

The left one is the lemon flavoured ice tea and the right one is the peach flavoured ice tea. 

Drink : 20/10 (It's toooooo good) 

As main dish we took a salad which consisted of cherry tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, boiled potatoes and bacons. 

Salad : 10/10 (we couldn't finish it, there was so much in it)

We took a SWEET CHILLI CHICKEN, CHEESE & PINE BURGER (A juicy chicken breast, grilled pineapple ring, melted cheddar cheese & a drizzle of sweet chilli sauce.)

Burger : 10/10 (It was huge and delicious)

If ever, you are near Bagatelle Shopping Mall or La Croisette Grand Baie Shopping Mall, do go have lunch or dinner there, the food is awesome as per my own opinion.

REVIEW : KIMCHI HOUSE - KOREAN RESTAURANT & HOTEL

Good evening everyone, 

So last week, my friends and I, went to this amazing restaurant named KIMCHI which is found in Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius, but more precisely at Queen Street, in ChinaTown. Let me first of all tell you that the food and the ambiance there is WOW! Yes! WOW! It is calm, peaceful and air-conditioned; which is kind of useful during those sweaty summer days we have here.

We ordered as starter, Kimchi, which is fermented cabbage in a spicy sauce served cold and to be honest it was delicious. I enjoyed it!

As main dish we ordered, Jajangmyeon which is actually noodles with a heavy black sauce (soybean paste) on top with diced cabbage and other vegetables. This is how the dish looks like when you get it.

After mixing everything together, this is what it looks like, you can see the noodles more clearly with some pieces of diced cabbage and other vegetables.

On a ladder of 1-10, i'll definitely give it a 8/10

The food is worth the money you pay for it. The food was delicious and very well prepared! I'd definitely recommend everyone to go and eat there! :)

See you next time on another post, hopefully very soon ;)
