Jenny Bakery Cookies from Hong Kong

Recently a friend back from Hong Kong brought me this Jenny Bakery cookies. I am quite surprised with the good taste of this cookies especially their butter and coffee cookies. No wonder they dare to claim that they are "A true Hong Kong Treat" and "Probably the best cookies in the world" wow... The cookies is famous for heavy after taste of butter and the shop always has long queue. Their constant change on the packaging design is also the main attraction to their cookies.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. The cookies are very rich, buttery, creamy and crumbly which melts in your mouth. The quality of the cookies is also quite consistent. For first timer, do buy their 4 mix butter cookies with butter flower, shortbread, raisin oat and coffee flower. I personally find that butter flower is the best followed by coffee flower).
Price:4/10(Near expensive. The cookie price at HKD75 for small container of 320 gram and HKD140 for 640 gram).

Some of the specialties here includes pork ribs, barley soup and ginger creme brulee.

Taste:8/10(Delicious. The main highlight here were their tropical pork ribs. Taste very good with sauteed apple. The sauce which comes with the pork ribs has a slight sourish taste and its nicely done as well. Their crab cakes are yummy. Quite creative to have sourish and slight spicy sauce to accompany the crab cakes. They also have maultaschen which is quite unique as most of the time, the maultaschen is in the form of dumplings. But here are pan fried version with onions and egg).

My first meal here started with 2NDFLR special salad. Its with Romaine lettuce, parmesan cheese, croutons, poached egg and bacon. Great combination of vegetables together with bacon fat.

Delicious with strong butter and garlic taste. Crunchy garlic bread.

Barley soup. This version of barley soup is almost identical to your mom's home cooked soup with love. Boiled with vegetables and chicken broth.

Poached eggs was nicely done.

Pan fried crab cake. Consist of breaded crab meat, chili jam and orange salad. Crab cake together with the jam and orange makes an excellent combination.

Taste:8/10(Good. Chili cream mussels were good and the slight spicy sauce makes the dish taste well. Creamy mushroom tapas is a must order as the mushroom taste good and punched with flavour. Their chicken teriyaki with soba noodles is good just slightly salty. I guess due to the soy sauce. As for the nasi lemak, their sambal were not good enough and can be improved. Grill master taste rather normal and the sauce need to be improved).
