Quiche Lorraine

This is a must for me if I am in Lai chi kok because they do decent quiches just like the ones in UK.
I had the quiche lorraine and it had generous pieces of bacon in it and the onions complemented it nicely.
There are other quiches as well but this was the one I didn't try on the last visit.
Price is very reasonable and it is such a big slice.

Had dinner here because my friend works in the area.

The restaurant is quite spacious with two corners of the room that offer good privacy.

Anyway, we had a good start because we got a palette of uni by liking their facebook page.

There is also some other offer where the second person is half price but for more details ask or phone them because my Chinese isn't that good to understand what she said.

Started with the sashimi and sushi which was fresh and nicely presented.

Apparently, they do good Cantonese BBQ so tried this place.
Started with a mix of intestines, tofu and soya egg.
The marinade was quite strong and tasty so everything well flavoured.The star of the show was the BBQ pork, it was sweet and moist, while the pork was tender and soft.The pork knuckles were a bit too elastic for my liking.
A good option for buying roast meat but it can be pricey for its location.

The best quiche in Hong Kong
2017-03-04  1698 瀏覽
I used to be in Laichikok all the time, in those days there were hardly any Western restaurants and D2 didn't exist.

All that has changed and I discovered this place because there was a cat and I love cats.
(previously this place used to be Egg tart king.)
When I went in I was wowed by the huge croissant and Cantonese Pineapple bun model.
What impressed me more was that they had quiches in a seemingly Chinese bakery.
This bakery was quite famous last year for their mooncakes which came in a Vintage yet funky packaging but at that time I didn't know it was this bakery.

I got a good mix of Western and Cantonese bakery to try.

++++++++

Broccoli quiche:

When I saw this, I knew it was going to be good. In fact this is the best in Hong Kong in terms of size and price.

This is the size you would get in the UK and the pastry was done just right because it was not sweet or made into a quiche tartlet which is just not a real quiche.

There were generous chunks of broccoli that were not too soft or hard and the egg filling was really tasty and you could taste the broccoli infused into it.

It was so comforting to get a good quiche that tastes like home made quiches without being too salty or sweet.

++++++++

pain du chocolat:

The pain du chocolat is another European favourite and it would taste great warm when the chocolate is soft.

It had a lovely buttery aroma and the chocolate wasn't too sweet.

++++++++

Cheese balls:
 0 讚好

The puffs are basically Japanese pontikeges which are sold in the morning and normally sold out by the afternoon.

++++++++

Purple potato balls:


Another treat that blew me away because it was real purple potato mash in the middle encased in this delicious flakey pastry.  Again it was not too sweet.

++++++++

Chocolate bun:

The buns are basically filled Mexican buns and the chocolate one is jazzed up by the coffee powder on top with chocolate filling in the middle. On a hot day, you can expect the filling to be runny.

++++++++

Custard bun:
 0 讚好

I was so glad I got this because their custard filling is so moist and fluffy without being two sweet which makes up for the mooncakes which I didn't know about last year.

++++++++

Overall, a great bakery with a good Western and Cantonese choice that is not too sweet.

The quiche is a must get at $20 a slice, where can you beat that!

I am going to be back for quiche and this coconut pandan croissant that I spotted on IG!~

Went here because it was close to the VGA building where some friends work.

Lunches are big and cost around 6x per dish.

Started with the chicken wings which taste like the Swiss chicken wings but laced with cumin so it was very fragrant.

The chicken leg with rice is the same using that sauce and it was huge!

The Korean pasta in spicy cheese sauce was not as cheesy and spicy as anticipated so it was quite palatable.

The spring chicken with white curry sauce is a bit different if you are expecting the curry to be like the one at satay king because it is not white and very spicy.

Finished with a green tea latte which was quite sweet.

This wasn't around when I was around but went here because I was in the area.

After checking out the garment building, I decided to walk around LCK and see which shops are still there.

Luckily the eggtarts are still around but the vegetarian shop is gone and this has popped up.

I wanted to order the purple risotto but it wasn't available so I had the Paradise full instead and one of the sets.

The breakfast was a bit of everything and the beef patty was surprisingly good because it was juicy with lean beef in it.

There is a choice of toast or pancakes but when I found out it was too late.

The toast was ok because their jam was good.

It comes with orange juice but I went for tea instead.

Here was the set, you get a salad, soup, main and a drink.

The salad was pretty much the same salad that you get with the steak.

Finished off with the taro cake and it was really good because there was a thin layer of chocolate cake base and the taro had a really aromatic taste that lingered.

[Review 4229] Localized curry @ 蘇亞印度餐廳 Sohal Indian Restaurant

Went to this place for a curry because the rest of the restaurants nearby were Chinese food.
I had the aloo gobi lunch set.
When the rice came, the last thing I was not expecting was Chinese Jasmine rice!
For Indian rice, I had to pay an extra $25 for Saffron rice which is silly because an Indian place should be serving Basmati rice as a basic and not Chinese rice.
The Saffron rice was much nicer and it was flavoured.
The aloo gobi was ok but the spices were weak and probably localized to adapt local tastesbuds.
