Chunky tofu with omnipork

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.

Omnipork Curry
2019-08-24  403 瀏覽
Went to Fairwood for Omnipork again, this time it was curry on the menu so I decided to try it.
HKD41 with table service and a drink that I could drink deemed worthy of trying.

The curry looked ok when it came.
I would describe it as four elements on the plate: red rice, curried omnipork, kidney beans and possibly frozen vegetables.

The curried omnipork was quite spicy but tasty and it was cooked with diced onions and it had these tiny white balls which looked like mustard seeds.
Anyway, the curry went nicely with the rice.
The vegetables and red beans were just vegetables as they were not cooked with curry so they just tasted like blanched frozen veggies!

My quest for vegetarian food is all about having acquaintance with it.
Ever since Fairwood launched the omnipork series I have been meaning to try the Omnipork tofu but their omnipork menu is on rotation.
I think there are 4 vegetarian dishes that are on rotation which means a 0.25 chance of that dish on the menu plus the probability of it not being sold out and the probability I haven't made plans for FOOD!

It was Thursday night and I was in Wanchai so I tried my luck!!!

It was on the menu and still available to order as it was 6ish that time so I was super happy as the guy at the cashier was super friendly.
Wanchai is a good bet because the office people have buggered off.
Evenings are better as you get table service just like McDonalds.
If it wasn't for omnipork, I doubt I would be dining here as the meat isn't edible because you just get fat and bones which I end up not eating.
If you look at it closely, the sauce is evidently a thick paste and dark.
Unfortunately it was too salty but the best omnipork tofu I have tried because you can taste the Sichuan peppercorns, salted vegetables (jaachoi) and shiitake mushrooms.
The taste is similar to the omnipork tofu at Green Common Deli recipe from TASTE. Kowloon Tong but GCD is sweeter.
As it was salty, I requested for more rice to finish it off and they were happy to give me more rice.
Funnily enough, I was still hungry afterwards.
Even though it was too salty, I am still going to try another branch and see how it compares.

It was Friday night and I was in Polam to visit the newly opened USelect so I tried my luck!!!

It was on the menu and still available to order as it was 6ish that time as most people dine out on Friday nights.

Evenings are better as you get table service just like McDonalds.
If it wasn't for omnipork, I doubt I would be dining here as the meat isn't edible because you just get fat and bones which I end up not eating.
This was my second time having this dish as I had it the previous night in Wanchai and it was too salty.

It looked promising here as the sauce was like gravy and it wasn't so dark or paste like.
Here they give you kidney beans which I didn't get at WC.
It was salty but not as salty a WC.
It was the best omnipork tofu I have tried because you can taste the Sichuan peppercorns, salted vegetables (jaachoi) and shiitake mushrooms.

The taste is similar to the omnipork tofu at Green Common Deli recipe from TASTE. Kowloon Tong but GCD is sweeter.
Again, I was still hungry afterwards but I still plan to try their omnipork curry.

Peanut butter HK style milk tea
2017-08-27  145 瀏覽
I can't remember what tea set I ordered but the crispy bun came with condensed milk and peanut butter which I didn't use.
HK style tea also came with it too which I don't drink so I mixed the peanut butter into the tea and surprisingly, it made the tea quite palatable!
The creaminess and sweetness of the peanut butter and condensed milk made it less bitter and disguised the HK tea taste a bit!!

Got the noodles in satay broth with Vietnamese pork sausage afternoon tea set.

I wasn't impressed with the pork sausages because it was laced with lemongrass.

The broth was tasteless as well lacking any peanut flavor.

Went here for afternoon tea.
There were so many choices but the menu was confusing.
All the sets had to come with chicken wings/frankfurter/French toast which was annoying because I just wanted noodles and mock sharks fin.

I had noodles and the mock sharks fin soup.

I got rid of the broth and treated the mock sharks fin soup as gravy which made the noodles even more delicious.

I was captivated by their vegetable rice series, but unfortunately the baked chicken leg in salt was sold out so I had the pork chop.
It was Chinese pork chop, which was sliced and chopped in a weird way so the only edible part was in the middle and the rest was fat and bones.
The rice pissed me off so much because they used pearl rice and I hate pearl rice.
It pisses me off even more that in Hong Kong we are forced to eat pearl rice with Chinese dishes because it is cheaper than Jasmine rice.
Just imagine in India having to eat other rices because it is cheaper than their local rice!

Not really a fan of Fairwood but went here for the tea set because of the mock sharks fin soup.
It was basically a bowl of rice with roast pork and mock sharks fin soup for $28.
The roast pork was not good, it was lean, dry and tough.
The soup was a bit bland for my liking.

Had this on Meatless Monday which is called Green Monday in Hong Kong.
Anyway, due to popular demand, this is always sold out before you can order it so I can't understand why they don't make more to cope with the demand.
I was quite surprised it was tasteless because the clear mushroom gravy was very bland and it was so weird they garnished it with sweet seaweed.
The aubergines were oily and soft as they always are at Fairwood.

I liked the Green light zone dishes at Fairwood but they didn't have the egg and tomato choice that day so I decided to try the sweetcorn sauce one which was not that good.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Vegetables and sweetcorn sauce:

The sweetcorn sauce was too oily and there was too much oily emulsion mixed into it. The rest of the vegetables were dripping with oil as well.

I was surprised to see claypot meals being offered during lunch time so I gave it a try.
There were two versions: normal rice or glutinous rice.
I chose the squid because it looked good and the glutinous rice was too heavy for lunch.

The advantage of choosing this is that you don't need to give the kitchen the ticket but wait for your number to be called out to collect.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Claypot rice with dried squid, diced chicken and poached egg:

I don't normally have food served in claypots because they have a weird smell but Fairwood does not normally serve these dishes hence the pots are new and don't have that weird smell which makes me throw up.

Anyway, I really enjoyed it because the rice was good and the patty was tasty with the pieces of squid and egg yolk mixed into it.

I didn't feel like having meat so opted for one of the meals in the Green Light Zone.
There were two choices and the first one looked more attractive so I had that because of the potato cake.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
eggplant, potato cake with tomato sauce and rice:

The tomato sauce had a strong oregano herb taste which was quite sweet while the tart tomatoes sauce made it appetizing.
The potato cake was disappointing and tasteless but the fried lotus root slices were rather nice and tasted great with the tomato sauce too.

I rarely eat here because the options are just too local for my liking.
On this occasion, I dined here because they had vegetarian tofu patties.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tofu fritters and fried gluten in red fermented beancurd sauce HKD36:

The tofu patties were luke warm and the first patty I tried was really sour! I wasnt sure if it had gone off or it was meant to taste like that.

The rest of the tofu was ok and it had pieces of Chinese celery in it, but the sauce was really disappointing because it did not have red fermented beancurd taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
rice:

The rice was extremely hot and you could see hot steam coming from it!
I just wished that the rice wasnt so hot and the tofu was hotter!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Low sugar green tea came with the meal but the Jasmine taste was really artificial and the sweetness was still quite sweet so I left it.
