Venchi is almost everywhere now in Hong Kong, there is a new branch at POPCORN that opened a few months ago.
As I was at the Hopewell Centre, decided to get some gelato.
Gelatos are priced HKD55, HKD68 and HKD78.

Got the mini for HKD55 with two flavours and chose the pistachio and hazelnut.
The pistachio was my favourite in the sense that it was thick and creamy.
Probably won't be back because the flavours are boring.

Delicious Modern Chinese delights
2019-11-19  320 瀏覽
Dined here ages ago for dinner.
The name Tong Tong Town reminds me of Social palace so did the dishes but then these days modern Chinese food all revolves around the same things like being colourful, instaworthy etc.

For the mains, had the fish maw stirred noodles which were quite nice but the noodles had a touch of alkaline in them.

The bamboo pith in pumpkin sauce was a bit grassy because of the pea shoots and overall quite sweet.

The vegetable dish was colourful and healthy with slimy fresh purple mountain yam and black fungus.

For dessert, finished with the cherry mousse cake which tasted weird as there was some ginger in it.

 Also had the piggy which is just the usual Chinese pastry.

Strike Noodles is a ramen joint from Osaka.
They opened earlier this year in TST serving ramen in a chicken and clam broth with clams.
I knew I was going to like it because the ramen they serve is thin.

The menu has an entertaining touch to it with interesting names.
Or you can trying going to hell with the spicy Go to Hell Ramen.

Anyway, I just tried the basic Tori Paitan which came in this creamy white soup.

There were three slices of chicken, some clams and an egg.
The ramen hung the broth well and the noodles were firm with a chew while the soup was comforting.
Also had the rice with mentaiko because I just love mentaiko and rice.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for ramen if you are bored of pork broth ramen.

Dai Pai Dong experience
2019-11-04  258 瀏覽
Proper dai pai dongs are decreasing in numbers these days so it was a shame I didn't try them when there were lots around.
The ones I've seen are at Temple Street which are clearly quite touristy and pricey.
Came across this one away from the rest, it is located next to a noodle stall which is also daipaidong style.

It was my first time eating at a dai pai dong so it was fun watching buses and people go past.
Now is a good time when the weather is cooler.


In a way, it is good that I tried now rather than before as I know what I want.
To my surprise the chef was young which explains the cantopop music so I actually enjoyed the vibes there.

For food, had the stir fried noodles with soy sauce, crispy ribs and crispy white bait.
The crispy ribs stole the show, they were even coated in this delicious salt and pepper coating.



I had a peep in the kitchen and saw that the ribs were freshly tossed in coating and then fried which gives it that quality coating while the meat came off the bones nicely.
The noodles were also a surprise, you could taste that wok fried aroma which was not too overwhelming.
They tasted even moreish with chili sauce.

The white bait wasn't bad but the other two dishes stole the show.

A while ago I saw cute pictures of a Matcha Latte with a cute chocolate doggy so had to try it.The product shot was the just like what I saw earlier posted by another person on SM so this had to be the drink.
There is a hot and cold, the hot comes with a chocolate dog while the cold comes with a marshmallow one as shown.
However, when it came, the dog was totally different.They said it should be the cold one.
Anyway, I believe the chocolate dog is too expensive hence they are cutting the budget by using marshmallow instead.
ANYHOW, THEY SHOULD CHANGE THE PRODUCT PICTURE AS WELL.
THE TASTE WASN'T REALLY WORTH RANTING ABOUT AS IT WAS JUST THE USUAL MATCHA LATTE MADE FROM MATCHA POWDER WHICH IS ALREADY SWEETENED BY DEFAULT JUST LIKE STARBUCKS.
A waste of money!

I never eat at Fairwood but the omnipork tofu has made me a regular visitor for this dish.
However, it is always inconsistent, sometimes saltier and this time it was spot one but the tofu pieces were big and chunky which was ideal as I love tofu!
The taste and everything was spot on, just a bit too salty.

My Meat Run Laboratory is a new development of its sister restaurant My Meat Run Buddy in Taikoktsui.
While the taikoktsui serves vegetarian buffet, the new sister restaurant is a relaxed restaurant in D2 serving a good range of dishes on the menu.

The star of the show is IMPOSSIBLE MEAT because there are so many dishes that were not possible made possible.

Most restaurants you will just find IMPOSSIBLE burgers on the menu but here you can find sizzling Impossible steaks, Impossible clay pot dish etc.

I was truly impressed with the impossible steak as it is made with impossible meat mince done Hong Kong style hence it tastes how it should complimented with the gravy.

The next impossible dish was the claypot which was crumbled impossible meat mince steamed in a claypot.
It was simply delicious with soy sauce and if you want it totally vegan, you can skip the egg.





My next favourite dish was the bak kut teh which had a strong herbal and umami taste.

For fried chicken lovers, there was Korean style and Japanese style chicken.

Dessert finished with a sweet lemon cake.

They also serve my favourite BROTHERS Toffee Apple cider which is a must if you have a sweet tooth.

Will definitely coming back for more Impossible dishes!

Oily and herbal broth

Jaffe Road has changed a lot in the past ten years, this spot used to be some Vietnamese joint.

Tried the noodles here which are served in a herbal soup.
It was nice but there was also a lot of oil as well.
The only thing I didn't like was that there was only one choice of noodle so if you don't like Yunnan rice noodles then you won't want to order it so it is best to just order soup but then you can see how oily it is.

2019-10-21  date visited.
As well as V Walk and TST, you can now find  attakai kokoro in Yuen Long.
The shop is bigger and better as they serve local snacks as well as drinks.

I had the avocado jasmine which was an interesting combination.
I didn't like it as it tasted like watered down avocado in the sense the it was the creaminess diluted with jasmine tea whilst there was this savory and sweetness in the taste.
Not my cup of tea.

Not a popular spot so this restaurant is nice and quiet during festivals but probably worse off now!
Anyway, the lobster efu noodles were very salty while the fish was steamed for too long so it was dry.
At the end of the banquet, you get given fruit and red bean dessert.

There are always queues at this restaurant but that day there wasn't so went in.
We were taken to a table but it took ages for them to clear the table.

By the time it was cleared, we ordered but waited forever for the food to come.

The roast pork was burnt while the noodles in the broth were soggy.
The dimsum was oily and cold.
As well as the roast pork noodles, everything was sold out which they didn't tell us.
