It was raining when I was in KB so spotted this restaurant while  I was sheltering from the rain.
The name was quite fun and the logo reminded me of this drinks joint so went in to check it out and see how super normal it was.
As well as HK, there is another Supernormal in Melbourne.

The menu was pretty good for Kowloon Bay with variety and the cocktail menu was impressive especially the Hua Diao cocktail.
I settled for the oyster soup because not many places serve it.
The last time I had it was at Cafe2 in Sai Ying Pun.
I liked the portion size of the soup because it was big and tasted as good as expected as it was blended with lots of oysters which you could taste.

Next were the Buffalo Chicken wings which were coated in this delicious tangy and fiery sauce served with real blue cheese sauce.
Each wing was deliciously crispy!!!

The mussels were creamy with lots of herbs.
I think I tasted some Basil in it.

The pork shanks were tangy and appetizing with a smoky BBQ flavour to it.
The meat came off easily.


Finished with the Hua Diao Cocktail which was to my liking because it was presented in a Chinese vase while and I loved the sweet tones of the cocktail.


The Mo Mo Cha cocktail had a touch of rose to it.

Will definitely be back as there is so much on the menu from fish and chips to roast chicken.

[Review 6596] Check your hotpot @ 湯•米 Soup And Rice

Decided to try this place because of the Taiwanese hotpots.
This could be the first and the worst in TKO.
Anyway, the location was more of a nuisance than expected because it is next to this residential mall which does not let you go through hence you have to waste another 5 minutes to walk around it.
So it could take you quite a while to walk from the MTR station if you don't live nearby.

Ordered the Signature Taiwanese pot because it contains fermented tofu, TW bloodcake and ducks blood however when it came there was no ducks blood as stated on the menu.
For the other pot, it was funny how they serve the meat frozen, which is slightly different from the other two branches in TST.
The portion was smaller compared to the other two at TST, you get at least 2-3 per item but here you only get one piece of each.



The soup was bland.


Not worth trekking over for this, I hope the other restaurants nearby are better.

[Review 4489] Burst egg yolk @ 時時樂餐廳 See See Look Restaurant

Came here randomly because I haven't tried this place.
It was good that they had an English menu which serves MICED MEAT, SOFE DRINK and STATY BEEF.
I was deciding between the egg and tomato and the fried egg and luncheon meat.
In the end I got the luncheon meat.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
soup:
The soup was just the usual Chinese broth.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
fried egg and luncheon meat:
It was good that they give you the soy sauce separately so you can decide how much you want to add but the thing that let it down was the burst egg yolk and the rice was too soggy.
The luncheon meat was soft and tasteless but the egg was quite nice especially the egg white because it was delicate and fragrant.

[Review 1912] Ham and oyster omelette @ 新城日式拉麵茶餐廳 Sunshine Restaurant

Walked past and noticed the Ham and oyster omelette so decided to order that.
Personally I would have preferred just oysters in the omelette.
It came with Wolfberry and whelk soup.
Apart from that, there was another choice that I wanted to order which had four items with rice.
The four items were: fried egg, pork chop, barbeque pork and luncheon meat!

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Phonetic menu:

One of the menus was quite interesting because it had Chinese phonics in English.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Wolfberry and whelk soup:

The soup was quite light and the whelk taste was not strong enough, there was hints of ginger in the soup.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Ham and oyster omelette:

I was taking a gamble ordering this one because there might be sand in the oysters, but I was was quite impressed because the oysters were clean.

The oysters were slightly bigger than baby oysters and there were about 4-5 oysters in that omelette.
There was also plenty of spring onions and some coriander too.
The omelette was quite delicious especially with the oysters and spring onions but it was slightly too salty.

As well as the freezing cold air conditioning, it was noisy and the food was lousy.
Sat down and the air conditioning was about 21.5 degrees C as measured on my digital UV and temperature meter.
Then it slowly dropped to 21.0 degrees.

[Review 1357] Part 2: Champagne without its sparkle @ 尚賓樓 Champagne House

Continued from Part 1:

Tofu and meat patty:
It was literally quite orange in colour, I was expecting it to taste good, but it smelt of custard.
The patty was sweet as well.

Spinach with salted and preserved egg
The spinach was tasteless and the salted egg and preserved egg were on the top.

Raw prawns and bittermelon pot
This dish was heated above a burner, and the lid was made of metal.
There should have been a warning because the handle on the lid was really hot.
Basically it was raw prawns boiled in bittermelon soup.
I don’t know why but they put too much black pepper in it and ruined it.

Steamed fish:
The fish was nice on its own, but the old oil that was poured on top ruined it.

Now the most entertaining part of the review for furious people:
