Finally more and more people are health conscious these days hence the demand of low sugar products.

Saying that cakes and desserts at Royal Plaza Hotel are always at the right sweetness but being labelled Low Sugar is a peace in mind when you give them to people especially elderly and children.

This year, tried the low sugar White Lotus Seed Paste Mooncake with Pine Nuts. They were not as sweet as promised hence you can taste the white lotus seed paste better complimented by the pine nuts.

Evidently the Crispy Thighs are successful but pricey in Hong Kong.

I have had the crispy thighs so many times since it was launched because the quality and taste is better than KFC.

This time I fell for the new Honey BBQ crispy thighs.

If you have tried their honey BBQ wings, the taste is exactly the same but in the form of a chicken drumstick and chicken thigh.

The crispy thigh version is much better because it is meatier compared to the wings so it is more moist compared to the wings.

Overall worth trying but I still prefer the original Crispy thighs because the coating is nicer than BBQ!

Tornade omelette to the next level at Le Menu

As well as delectable buffets at Le Menu, you can get an instaworthy lunch with the Tornado omelette 旋風蛋叉燒飯 or if you are hungry you can pay a little more to include salad buffet and a drink.
When I saw them post this on FB, I was definitely captivated because they have given the Tornado egg with a local Chinese twist with the use of Barbeque pork and spring onions.

Finally went for late lunch and I was the last to have it.

When it arrived, it was stunning like a swirled omelette generously sprinkled with crisp green spring onions and sweet purple shallots.

The Barbeque pork is piled on top of the rice beneath this pretty omelette skirt.I seriously recommending watching videos on youtube on how they make it because it is so magical watching the chopsticks twist in the middle of the omelette to get the tornado effect before the egg gets cooked.

Anyway, back to my Tornado omelette, there is a side of house made sauce which tastes like the soy sauce from that famous place Shun Hing in Tai Hang infused with spring onions.
Adding their secret recipe sauce makes it complete.

Every spoonful was divine with the omelette and spring onions in your mouth while the slices of barbecue pork are tender, lean and flavourful complimented by their house special sauce which tastes like fragrant soy sauce with the sweetness of stir fried spring onions and shallots.

2020 Nutritious Zongzi combo at Royal Plaza Hotel!
2020-06-11  213 瀏覽
I am sure there are many omnipork zongis around but this is the first year Royal Plaza Hotel has omnipork in the nutritious combo which includes:
-Morel Mushroom, Chestnut and Omnipork
-Matsutake, Dried Longan and Coix seed
-Osmanthus Quinoa and Red bean
The omnipork one is amazing because the pairing of morel mushrooms and chestnut make it tasty as well as festive.

Tried the Matsutake with dried longan and coix seed last year along with the osmanthus quinoa and red bean which are both nourishingly light as well as fulfilling.
The Morel Mushroom with chestnut and ominpork was definitely the star of the show because the flavours of the morel mushrooms which are earthy with a strong umami taste complement the omnipork nicely.
Then we have the nutty chestnuts that are wholesome and festive to add a little sweetness to the taste!

2020 Kee Wah Zongzi!!
2020-06-11  15 瀏覽
It is the time of year when shops are selling Zongzis to celebrate dragon boat festival.
Kee Wah have come up with a variety of creative dumplings especially the duck with fruit peel which reminds me of the duck leg soup with rice!
The vegetarian Zongzi this year has lotus seeds and gingko.

Zongzis are eaten hot so all you have do is boil them for a bit and they are ready to eat.
(To be honest, I put them in the microwave and they come out fine.

Here were the ones I tried.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Braised Duck Leg meat with Mandarin Peel:
Fruit peel and duck are always delicious but taste better in a zongzhi because it is more fulfilling than soup.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Lotus Seeds and gingko:
As well as nutritional lotus seeds and gingko, the quinoa adds fibre to it hence you don't get that guilty feeling when you're having a zongzi!



★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Betty’s xo sauce rice dumpling with pork belly:

Glutinous rice, pork belly, xo sauce (garlic, shallot, chinese ham, dried shrimp, red pepper, dried scallop, dried shrimp).
This was my favourite because it was spicy which makes the sticky glutinous rice more appetizing.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Red bean paste with mandarin peel zongzi:
I love the pairing of red bean paste and mandarin peel because the bitterness of the peel balances the sweetness of the red bean paste.
