Dry roast pork at JH
2015-12-30  2622 瀏覽
Went late hence the pork they served had been sitting there all day so it was dry.

I wish they told me it was sold out rather than giving me stuff that was not fit to eat.

Anyway, the soup had a free strand of instant noodle in it because the staff probably cooked the instant noodle in the seaweed broth because you can see him eating instant noodles.

There was quite a lot of seaweed in the soup and I was impressed because the seaweed was really clean and non-gritty.

Prices have gone up since my last visit.

[Review 4911] Blackforest hot chocolate @ 摩豆 Modos

Tried the new blackforest hot chocolate, which has a really fragrant berry smell.

It tasted a bit like chocolate mixed with blueberry and ribena but it is quite sweet which will satisfy your sweet cravings on a cold day.

The eggettes are tempting once you see them making it so perhaps I will try the chocolate orange or the Russian Borscht next time if I am in the area.

[Review 4910] Dolci winter treats @ 2/3 Dolci

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/dolci-winter-treats-e2528438



Festival Walk is an annoying labyrinth but I managed to find a way of walking to Dolci via the outside of Festival Walk, which seems quicker.
Settled for the Pistachio hot chocolate and apple crumble icecream. The apple crumble icecream was loaded with crumble but less pieces of apple.
I don’t normally drink hot chocolate but the pistachio products at Dolci are a star.
The hot chocolate pistachio version was really nice, because the pistachio was really strong and the drink was thick and rich.

[Review 4909] #‎createyourtastehk‬ debuts in Tseung Kwan O @ 麥當勞 McDonald's

I was lucky to be one of the 300 people to get a #createyourtastehk tote bag.
1/11 was the best day to go because people were still having hangovers from Halloween and the residents at TKO are mostly elderly who don’t use Facebook or Instagram because according to McDonald’s you are required to post on social media to get the tote bag.

You can imagine all the elderly who queued all the way to the ordering station and didn’t have octopus or enough credit to pay.

Even if they did managed to pay, they didn’t get past the social media step but fortunately McDonald’s were able to bend the rule slightly for them.
I thought it was fun to monitor an elderly to see if they treated her nicely or took the piss.
This is my sixth time eating a #createyourtastehk burger even though I haven’t really written about it.
They have added asparagus and sweet potatoes options as promoted earlier at the TST Green Monday event.
Although it is good that vegetarians can order a burger with just veggies, it does not cost any cheaper without the beef patty, which is stupid.

My favourite ingredients are the bacon and sweet potatoes because the bacon is really crispy and the soft sweet potato goes really well with it.
Again, the limitation is the cheese, you can’t choose more than 4 slices of the same cheese which is sad because I love cheddar.
The cheddar in the picture is funny because cheddar doesn’t have holes.
Hopefully one day, you can have fish/chicken options as well as beef.

I would have given this a good rating because the food is good but the customer service is inconsistent.
On the first visit, they were really friendly but on the second visit they were not that friendly.
Anyway, I am glad I came twice otherwise I would have rated it wrongly.
The food was amazing, there are more than 10 choices and over half of it I wanted to choose.

Luckily you get three choices but it was not enough so I added $10 to get four choices.
Basically everything was tasty especially the bittermelon omelette and the mapo tofu which has a fragrant Sichuan peppercorn taste.

Mochi flavours used to be just mango but now they have Durian and even purple potato.
Tried the Durian a while ago so this time tried the purple potato, which looks like Ube icecream mochi by a local dairy brand.
The purple potato mochi was really nice and not too sweet, the mash was thick and velvety but the purple potato was a bit dry.

A light dinner at Coffee Jobs
2015-12-29  510 瀏覽
Ventured into the dark side of Kowloon for dinner.

Coffee Jobs is located at the back of Kwong Wah Street in a bright alley.

The prices were reasonable because they didn’t overcharge on items that were inexpensive such as croissants and puff pastry.

+++++

Started off with a hazelnut babyccino, which is foamed milk.

It wasn’t too sweet and gave me memories of flavoured milk at school.
 0 讚好

+++++

I had the croissant with cheese and egg while my friend had the Ladies Breakfast.

Normally I would go for breakfast but it was American style which is not my cup of tea.

The croissant was ok, there was a piece of processed American cheese and egg mayonnaise which is acceptable for $28.

+++++

For desserts, I had the lemon meringue and purple sweet potato puff.

The sweet potato puff was simple, basically it was just a baked vol au vent filled purple potato filling which is reasonably priced at $28.

+++++

The lemon meringue was slightly bigger in size but delicious because the lemon curd was sharp.

There are three Ronins in Hong Kong and this place is not to be confused with the one in sheung wan.
The other branch of 浪人日本料理 Ronin Japanese Cuisine is in Wanchai but they serve all you can eat.

At this branch, they serve fine Japanese food and here was what I had:

Assorted sashimi:
 0 讚好

The sashimi is fresh paired with some tasty kelp.
Each day the sashimi is different because they will only source the freshest to serve.

Black sesame beancurd with Japanese sea urchin:
 0 讚好

I loved the pairing of delicate tofu and sea urchin.
Both contrasted each other nicely.

Edamame beans in three styles: Salt, wasabi and soya
 0 讚好

A nice variety of edamame beans, the wasabi was the best.

Assorted Tsatuka:
 0 讚好

The chicken was crispy and juicy but the abalone was a bit too chunky for my liking.

Kurobato pork cutlet:
 0 讚好

Flawless juicy pork cutlet.

Chilled Soba noodles:
 1 讚好

Chilled soba, another one of my favourites, plain and simple soba noodles in a light broth.

Finished off with the sake jelly which had a strong sake taste and high alcoholic content.

[Review 4904] Not worth the hype @ 牛記咖喱美食 Estab De Comidas Ngao Keo Ka Lei Chon

For years I have always wanted to try this place but never got round to it because I didn't know my way around.
Finally made it and found it quite pricy and the noodles were not as good as I expected because they had a strong alkaline taste and the crab roe was a bit fishy and oily.
澳門新龍記 serves better crab roe noodles and it is cheaper but the portion is slightly smaller.
