[Review 90] Milk Pudding @ SUGAR 甜品屋

Date reviewed: 28/12/2007

Wanted to order the hazelnut waffle, but was informed it was sold out. So ordered the milk pudding with strawberry and the banana chocolate waffle.

The waffle was ordinary, the milk pudding was ok, but I did not like the strawberries though, cos they were frozen ones rather than fresh.

The service was so - so

[Review 89] Hersheys Pie @ 漢堡王 Burger King

Date reviewed on openrice: 28/12/2007

The burgers here r really good, however the fries are slightly different to the ones from the airport branch. They do not have that extra crunchy coating on it.
Anyway I tried the Hershey Pie too, and it is so gorgeous, I crave for it badly now...
The fluffy chocolate and cream, and the chocolate base. Although its sweet, it not like sickly sweet.
I can come here for burger and dessert now...

[Review 88] Really Crap @ 華威餐廳 Warwick Restaurant

Date reviewed on openrice: 24/10/2007

i didnt intend to eat in this place, but i have gotten bored of all the other restaurants.
Every time i go past this restaurant, there is always a waiter outside to attract pp, i guess the stuff doesnt taste so good, that's why they need it.

[Review 87] Yummy Mushroom Siumai @ 健康工房 HealthWorks

Date reviewed on openrice: 20/10/2007


Their mushroom siumai tastes really good, and there are no fatty pork or bone in it.
For their health drinks, i have tried the apple and fig one, really good, not too sweet.
Same with the cane and sea coconut drink.

[Review 86] Limited menu @ Beppu Ekimae 別府駅前料理

Date reviewed on openrice: 02/10/2007

I have never been to Beppu before, so I thought I'd try the Wong Tai Sin branch.
I only ordered the roasted scallop cake since the menu was limited, as this is a small branch.
They said the full menu is available in the larger restaurants.

Anyway the scallop cake didn't really have any scallop taste in it. It tasted like rubber!

Wow the burgers here r so cheap........
so we ordered a fish fillet burger, egg and beef burger, and the double beef and cheese burger.
I like the fish one the most, thinly sliced fish, crispy and juicy. As for the beef, the onion went well with it.

[Review 84] A bit raw @ The Burger Joint

Date reviewed on openrice: 08/09/2007

I went late in the afternoon, so not there were many ppl there.
I was expecting some American staff, but the one I ordered from didn't really understand English.
Anyway i ordered a cheese lovers, and should have taken note of the previous comments that the patty is half cooked.
However the fries were delicious with the creamy mayo sauce, but the portabello mushroom was not fresh, it was pickled in vinegar sauce.
For my tea, it was funny they asked me if i wanted milk. But the milk they gave me wasn't milk, it was that nasty hong kong cream, or whatever its meant to be.

[Review 83] Serradura pudding @ 甜品工房 Dessert Kitchen

Date reviewed on openrice: 08/09/2007

Initially ordered the Taro tofu, however the taro sauce tasted sour, so the owner admitted it had gone off.

So in the end i ordered the green tea wood starch pudding (Serradura, also known as sawdust pudding ), it was gorgeous and not too sweet. I think it was a bit hard though, a bit like ice-cream, the ones i have tried before are like soft and creamy. The owner also gave us some tea jelly, which was really nice too, i liked the jasmine flavoured one, full of jasmine and not too sweet.

[Review 82] Nice but expensive @ 街知巷聞 Chinesegogo

Date reviewed on openrice: 07/09/2007

These glutinous balls tastes really gd, especially the creamy choc with banana, and many other too, but now i think i will buy less often, cos the price has shot up from 3 for the price of $10 to 3 for the price of $13.
Ridiculously if you just want it, its $5 each, so u might as well at 3 and so many delicious flavours!!

[Review 78] Good Owner @ Toppings

Date reviewed on openrice: 24/08/2007

Unexpectedly such a small shop, located next to a tire shop.

Anyway their burgers taste great, each burger is made with their secret patties. The burgers are nice and juicy with a hint of black pepper.

I like the fact u can put whatever toppings u want. The owner is also quite nice, because he doesn't mind sharing ideas about his food. Also he showed me the uncooked form when i asked.

The only thing that cud be improved is stopping those fleas surrounding the toppings.

[Review 77] Really good spareribs @ 麵軒小歇 Mian

Date reviewed on openrice: 24/08/2007

I was at CC Wu building the other day when i noticed Mian, so i grabbed a menu and visited the TST branch.

I ordered spareribs with sweetcorn noodles and Purple Melts ( coconut, taro, and purple rice smoothie).

The bowl of noodle came with the spareribs served in a separate plate. The spareribs smelt great, the meat came of the bone easily. It was proper spareribs, not like the tacky bones and cartilage served in some restaurants.
The sparerib sauce was good, not too spicy.

Finally the drink was lovely, not too sweet, and you get fragrant hints of purple rice and taro could be tasted.

It wasn't expensive either, it all cost $32.

[Review 76] Evidently Chinese @ 蘇珊娜餐廳 Susanna's Restaurant

Date reviewed on openrice: 24/08/2007

A disappointing visit here, the steaks were bad quality parts of meat, lot of tendons in it.
Also fried rice came with it, so it feels like those cheapy Chinese cafes.
The veg wasn't cut either, like a big leaf on the plate!!
I was stupid to even go in as there is Chinese characters for the name which indicates how Western it was.
Soup was tasteless.

As for the drink, I asked whether it was English tea or HK style, and they couldn't answer either.
In the end it was nasty HK style.

I think they should improve their food quality and modernize the restaurant.
The plugs are still the round 3 pins.

[Review 75] Lobster Dumplings @ The Spaghetti House 意粉屋

Date reviewed on openrice: 14/08/2007

This was my second time at Spaghetti house, since the last disgusting fake cheese fondue i had.

This time I came to try all the new stuff,
lobster dumplings, scallop asparagus soup and the tomato and lemon smoothie.

Lobster dumplings
A reasonable portion with 8 large dumplings in total, 4 ink pasta wrapped dumplings and 4 ordinary ones. Quite big in size, and the lobster inside was quite fresh, with spinach mixed in it. The sauce was very rich too.

Scallop and asparagus soup
Tasted nice, but the ingredients were "so so"
I didn't think the asparagus was fresh, because they weren't crunchy in texture and they had a slight sour taste to it.
As for the scallops, they were tiny, but some of them were peach and orange..which is weird..cos scallops are white... but the peach and orange wasn't the crescent shaped bits either. Worrying!!

Tomato n Lemon Smoothie..
I think its for ppl with acquired taste....anyway i liked it.

[Review 74] Fish Burger with Cinnamon Tea @ Freshness Burger

Date reviewed on openrice: 14/08/2007

This is a really good burger bar, shame that it is located very far from the MTR, right at the end of LCX!!!

Anyway i ordered a fishburger with cinnamon tea, the fish burger was excellent, i liked the sauce the best, because it was the typical Japanese mayonnaise. At first i wondered why the burger bun was orange, then i realised it was made of pumpkin from stated from the menu. So quite innovative of the Japanese.

Finally the cinnamon tea was quite good, tastes like English tea with cinnamon.

[Review 73] Juicy Burger @ MOS Burger

Date reviewed on openrice: 25/07/2007

First time trying these japanese burgers, so we tried the Teriyaki beef burger and Fresh burger.

The burgers were slightly smaller than expected, about the size of a McDonalds hamburger, but anyway it was good, not too dry. Got to try the MOS one next time.

The sitting area was freezing cold, and there were strong gusts of cold air.
