Gang Cheng Fen Mian Dim Sum Restaurant or 港城粉麵 is a great place for curry.

It was really good the curry beef came in a separate bowl so the rice does not get soggy from the sauce.

The amount of beef in the bowl was quite generous.

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.

A few years ago tried Pizza Max at Woosung Street and the food there was amazing.Unfortunately it closed so when  I saw Pizza Max Bistro I decided to give it a try.

They serve pizzas, curries and Nepalese fare just like the Pizza Max.


Went for late lunch so it was nice and quiet.
Lunch sets were available.

Ordered the fried rice because Indian/Nepalese fried rice always tastes good because of the spices and it is cooked in a different way.

For lunch, all mains come with soup and a drink.

The other good pick is the Tandoori chicken which is served like roast chicken marinated in Tandoori Spices.

I like it the way you get butter sauce gravy so you get the best of both worlds with Tandoori and Butter Chicken!

Overall not bad for lunch under HKD100 including drinks and soup.
Pizza and Pastas are also available under the lunch sets.

[Review 7653] Curry fix in Jordan @ 咖哩葉 Curry Leaf Indian Cuisine

I love Indian food so I have to try almost every joint that I come accross.Curry Leaf is located in Jordan conveniently located by some hotels.
It has been awarded many awards by the QTSA.
The menu had a good variety from Traditional curries, egg bhurji to Manchurian Chicken!
Appetizers:
Ordered the Jeera rice to go with the spinach potatoes.
Tried the rice on its own and it was tasty without anything as there was cumin seeds in it.
The spinach potatoes were not spicy but were very creamy compared to other places I have tried.
The chicken fried noodles were tasty as it had pieces of chicken tandoori, again the stir fried noodles were not spicy compared to other places I have tried as they were rather wet with a strong tomato taste.
The noodles they used were very different and evidently not egg noodles because they tasted like Chinese Efu noodles.
Anyway, a good friendly joint.
Will come back for the lunch buffet sometime.

A while ago I noticed this building because it just stuck out being brightly coloured.

Finally went one afternoon for some dessert.
The dining area was bright and colourful and it feels like a jungle with birds singing and exotic style  decorated walls.
I appreciate the effort the owner has put in to decorate the whole building including the stairs and sound effects of birds chirping
Had three items: peach and butterfly tea drink, purple potato roll and durian and coconut cake.

The drink was quite good as they used peach juice and not something boring like passionfruit or mango which is found everywhere.
I decided to eat the roll first because I thought it was non durian but the middle had real pieces of durian fruit and not puree.
It was nice that they use real durian fruit and not puree because the difference in taste is big.
Next was the cute durian coconut mousse cake!
There were layers of cake and durian in the middle yet the coconut flavours were quite prominent.

Overall a great place to chill out!

Discovered this coffee joint because of the quirky name.At first I didn't know the English was the phonics for the Chinese name.
If the English name wasn't there, I wouldn't know how to pronounce the Chinese name and with my wild imagination I would have thought that it was a swearing sloga humgaling.
But anyway, in Chinese it read humbalaang which means EVERYTHING!

Went in and I loved the decor, there were paintings on the walls, and paints on the shelves above the window.

The yellow mini sofa was a REAL CAR before it was converted into a sofa if you refer to their insta.

There are so many drinks on offer but as a fan of avocado I had the avocado which was such a nice drink.
It was creamy and thick with a good amount of yoghurt that wasn't too sweet.
I liked the way the yoghurt they used because it wasn't the yakult type or the powdered type.

Will be back soon as they have some lovely rice burgers.
According to their FB this joint is opened by four coffee and art lovers so stay tuned as there will be some art jamming and art classes going on there.

Walked past this restaurant on a rainy day as it was close to one of the MTR exits.The front of the restaurant was interesting, there was a huge menu which was an enlarged version of the ordering sheet so went it.
I loved the black and white pictures on the wall.
The seating area was comfortable.
The menu had a nice range, it had lots of seafood which is my thing.
Every dish made you feel like home as they were not oily and presented in a simple but nice way.
Had the recommended fish which was amazing.
I don't know how they fried it so perfectly.
The tail was intact and the fish skin lifted off in one piece when you took it off.
Beneath the skin was delicate and delicious fish.
The seasoning was minimalistic so you could just taste fresh fish.
The other mains we had was bittermelon and fishmaw in black bean sauce.
Again this was really healthy just like food cooked at home.
The almond fish maw soup was another star of the show because it was savoury.
You could taste the finely grounded which made it creamy and thick.
Overall, everything was delicious so it doesn't really need any other sauces but they do have homemade chili sauce on the table which goes well with whelks and seafood.
I was impressed with the joint and plan to come back as their dishes are healthy and different.
