The food scene at Kwai Hing has finally changed and there are more options now.

As well as the usual chain restaurants, BIG COCK and Delicious Roasted Chicken got my attention.
Delicious Roasted Chicken is on the 8th Floor while BIG COCK is on the escalator accessed floors.
Went to BIG COCK as the name sound sexy if you know what I mean!
The pictures of Delicious Roasted Chicken on openrice were disappointing as you would expect some roast chicken but the appear to serve noodles which is a waste of a good name.
Anyway, settled at the BIG COCK for lunch.
It was Taiwanese fare, so had the Beef tendon noodles.
There was quite a lot of tendons in the bowl which were soft and gelatinous.
The wide noodles had a good chew to it.
The Taiwanese oyster omelette was quite stodgy but the sauce made it better.
The squid patties were nicely done.
The scallion oil noodles were a bit bland for my liking.
Overall the food was ok but look quite different from the menu photos.
Finished with the mango smoothie and fruit tea.

Many years ago, KH is a depressing place to work.
In those days, you would find these weird office units pretending to be restaurants and people would smoke in there.
The smoking ban changed that but the food scene didn't.
There was something holding it back when lots of other places like Lai Chi Kok and Kwun Tong have evolved with more eateries!!

A decade later, there is finally some change hence young people are lucky these days while those old folks who have been working in that area all their life get the changes in their senior years.
But anyway, in HK, rarely do people stay in their job for more than 10 years as there is no loyalty or seniors get kicked out as they are too costly for the company.

Anyhow, those old folks are only concerned about earning their daily bread so they couldn't care less about healthy, hearty and delicious food.
The good thing is that KH has become more diverse than before hence there is a better variety for other cuisines.

I am so glad Hana Musubi is everywhere as I keep falling for their musubis.

This time I fell for the Taco Rice which I knew I was going to like because it is a bit like chili con carne.


As expected, I really liked it.
Imagine chili con carne in musubi form, it was filled with minced meat in the middle.
There was a subtle cumin and chili taste which made it delicious.
I don't know what other new musubis they will will bring out next time but I think I will definitely fall for it again.

[Review 4382] Pasta in Mushroom sauce on Meatless Monday @ 大快活 Fairwood

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.

Kwai Hing has finally got a decent eatery because there are not many good places to eat round here.
I used to curse my boss who ate the same dish in the same restaurant everyday that I went for another job elsewhere because there were more food options.

The style at MX is relaxed and you can take it easy while you eat, hence the slogan:
TAKE EAT EASY!
Octopus users have an advantage because you can order and pay on the self ordering machine which has English too!
After you have ordered, you are given a device which vibrates with red lights when the food is ready.
At some tables, they have USB chargers and there is also free wifi which you can use for a period of time.


There is self service hot and cold water.

After you finish the meal, they encourage you to return the trays and you are rewarded with sweets.


Anyway, here was the food I had.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beef with cheese, black pepper rice teppanyaki:

The highlight of this is the CHEESE!~ See the cheese on top!!

After mixing it, it was nice and cheesy with delicious slices of beef in it and the black pepper adds more dimension to it.
For extra flavour, there is a side of sauce that you can add.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Curry beef in a pot with rice:

The curry comes in a cute metal pot and the curry was strong and spicy with big chunks of beef in it.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
boneless Hainanese chicken:

As well as delicious chicken and sauces, I loved the mountain of thinly sliced julienne cabbage in a refreshing yuzu sauce.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
chilled tomato with sesame sauce (add on option):

This is one of my favourite appetizers, tomato with sesame sauce that is not too sweet.
The tomato was sweet and juicy with thick sesame sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Salad (add on option):

A good balance of greens to the meal with a side of salad and dressing.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
green tea pudding with red beans (add on option):

The green tea pudding was creamy topped with starchy red beans on top.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
sweetcorn pudding (add on option):

As well as the green tea pudding, the sweetcorn was also fun to eat because it had an interesting mix of flavours with bits of sweetcorn in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
grape soda with aloe:

My friend tried this and said there were lots of aloe in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
orange and passion fruit soda:

I had the orange and passion fruit soda which was a refreshing drink on a hot day with summery passionfruit.

Okinawa brown sugar bun:

It was soft and fluffy but a little dry for my liking.
The brown sugar taste was light and it was not too sweet.

[Review 2930] Le Canele D'or @ Wine and Dine 2013

Le Canele D'or

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/le-canele-dor-wine-and-dine-2013-e2328705

It was my first time going to a Wine and Dine event Thanks to Openrice’s Wine and Dine guest passes.
Before you go in, you are given a starter bag which contains a wine glass and a booklet of coupons for free wine and food tasting.
There are two types of food coupons depending on your pass, the ones I got were VIP coupons which entitles you to full portions of food according to the information and the normal ones are worth $10 per coupon.
It was confusing at first because I have not attended this before and some booths were mind boggled by these coupons, some treated these VIP coupons for half portions, and some treated them as being worth $10 so I did not the coupons on these booths.
Le Canele D'or does not do retail and only takes orders for delivery so this was one of the booths I had to try.
There are three flavours: Traditional (vanilla/rum), Mediterranean (orange zest/liquor), Irish (coffee/whisky)
The boxes for these Canelés were quite classy.
At this booth, I used one VIP coupon on one cocktail sized canele.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Traditional (vanilla/rum) canelé:
The canele was quite hard with a bitter caramelized crust and inside it was quite sweet and chewy.
I was expecting the middle to be eggy and soft but it was not.
It is similar to eating the burnt edges of a bread and butter pudding.

Kwai Hing industrial area has the worst selection for good food, the food variety is mainly the Chinese cafe's or lunch boxes.
The price range is reasonable for this area, but the quality is so-so, there seems to be a lot of variety on their menu, but the waiting environment is not that good, so usually you are forced to get lunch boxes.
The only stuff that is reasonably good to eat is the Roast selection, the guy with the bushy eyebrows is quite helpful, not sure if he is still working there now!
The bakery corner is not that good, and the drinks selection is rather boring too!

While shopping at Diamond hill, they had a food fair, so walked by and saw A Style had a stall there.

They had their usual range of frozen seafood ready to eat once thawed, including their big spider like crabs and shellfish.

For their cooked snacks they had ready to eat big scallops for $20, a choice of buttered or Teriyaki.

I got the Teriyaki, and the scallops were quite big, the orange part was the best, usually they taste rubbery, but this one tasted velvety just like pate and fish roe.
In terms of scallop anatomy, the orange part is the ovary-testis according to the Fisheries and Aquaculture Department .

[Review 165] Back dated review R7 @ 興盛小館 Hing Shing Restaurant

This is my favourite place for Roasted baby pig, its nice and crunchy, and properly marinated.
I usually ask for the lean parts, and the sweet sauce is given to complement it.

It has improved since the no smokng ban, before it was smokey when you walked in.
You can buy takeaway from their trolley outside or eat inside.

A large variety of dishes or you can order the dimsum.
The best dish is fried salt and peppered porkchop.
The dim sum is just the usual you would get in any restaurant.

Something good to eat in Kwai Hing.

A variety of pastas/ steak for set lunches, including soup and a drink.
The roasted rice tea drink is good, with bits of rice in it, and the soup is good too.
Sometimes mushroom soup or sometimes pumpkin soup.
The main dish is also OK too.

Another popular choice in Kwai hing for food with set lunches available at lunch.
If their in a good mood, you sometimes get dessert. The soup that usually comes with it, is cold, cos their air con is quite cold.
but the good thing is, their lunches you can choose rice or pasta to go with it.

Usually packed at lunch times, so they like to chuck u out pretty fast

As this shop is located in Kwai Hing, not much choice around there to eat.

So sometimes I would get some snacks from here, dosn't taste that good, also the woman who serves you has an attitude problem, she tries to be quick, so if your slow or still deciding, she ignores you.

Unless there is no other choice, I would not come here.
