Best eggs in town
2019-05-20  1281 瀏覽
Previously tried these eggs at Lamtin and they were so delicious I had to get them again as I was at MOS and there is a stall there.
There were not many boxes left which meant they sold well.
They were still glistening when I took the lid off so it was good sign and the wine was still on the surface of the egg.
The egg white was tender and delicate while the egg yolk was not hard boiled.
On top of that there was a strong wine taste that was fragrant without the bitterness.
Definitely delicious but both locations are not that convenient unless you live in that area.

[Review 6575] Addictive hotpot @ 養心殿台式養生鍋

I am not really a fan of hotpots but this one was good, it reminded me of Little Fat Sheep when there were less choices in those days.
The reason I liked it was the broth and it was the key to everything.
However I didn't like the compulsory charge for the sauces because not everyone uses it and if you need sauce, it means the food is tasteless.
Anyway, had the dual pot, the Deluxe Chinese Medicine Broth and the Spicy Hotpot.
Tried the broth first and the Medicinal one was so damn good as the herbs were really strong.
The Spicy one was not as spicy as expected but it came with my favourite Frozen tofu and ducks blood.
For the hot pot, had a few things, we decided to try the assorted dumplings.
My personal favourites were the Sichuan Beef and the White Water snowflake dumplings.
The Signature Hand Cut beef was worth ordering as it was soft and not too fatty.
So were the Japanese Oysters which had a strong taste of the tea.
Initially I thought the transportation to WE GO Mall was crap but then I found a 286M bus from Diamond Hill station that stops right at the ground floor entrance of that mall.

I was visiting friends at Sunshine plaza but due to the stupid renovations it was hard to find a good bakery to get some cakes for them, went to double cove place and got some fancy cakes from Urban Bakery,
The cakes taste way better than the croissants.
They were presentable, colourful and the sweetness was just right.

Recently had some divine black pepper and malt syrup chicken wings and I was missing it badly so decided to try the black pepper honey wings here.
Unfortunately, they were not as tasty and it was quite oily.
The coating was not as crispy and crunchy as the ones I tried before.

[Review 4398] Iron buddha tea softserve @ 天仁茗茶 TenRen's Tea

Saw photos of the iron buddha softserve which is only available at the MaOnShan branch.
The English and Chinese seem to contradict because in Chinese it says Iron buddha but in English it says Iron Buddha oolong.
I would have tried The chocolate room too which was nearby but they didn't have the sweet purple potato softserve that day.

Iron buddha tea softserve:

The softserve cost $20 and it was huge but unfortunately the taste was not that good.
It was powdery and bitter lacking fragrant aroma that iron buddha should have.
The softserve was too icy for my liking but if they made iron buddha ice lollies or sorbets without the milk, I think it would taste great because who puts milk with Chinese tea!

[Review 4395] Help yourself to dessert in the evenings @ 天澄閣 Crystal Harbour Restaurant

Went here for dinner and the food was reasonable.
The interesting part was the dessert, there was icecream and Chinese sweet soups which you can help yourself to.
The red bean dessert was starchy and sweet with a strong fruit peel flavour.

Lunches here are not that good but dinners are a little bit better
The platter was quite good but there were some cheap items on there that acted as fillers such as the smoked duck breast which is obviously not Chinese.
The pigs leg was just a fatty slab of fat!
The crispy rolls were ok and not too sweet.
The dessert was mandarins which were individually packaged.

[Review 4074] The best place for BBQ @ 白石燒烤 Whitehead Barbecue

I don't often go to BBQs because the thought of travelling to Sai Kung is hell and 90% of the time in Hong Kong is hot and humid so why would you want to torture yourself having a BBQ.
Recently I joined some friends at Whitehead BBQ which changed my perception of BBQs and the fact that it was winter made it more enjoyable.
Whitehead BBQ is located in the countryside of Hong Kong with a nice seaview, we got the 10 person package for $2988 which includes a room with a patio for the BBQ furnished with a fridge, air con, TV, table, chairs and some games.

When you arrive, there is a name list at the reception to help people locate their BBQs and the staff will lead you there as well.

After you are settled they will check with you the list of food that is in the fridge and help you to start the BBQ going when you are ready.
Our package included forks, seasonings, plates, tissues and drinks.

Food wise, there was 2 bags of prawns, 2 bags of NZ mussels, 3 bags of scallops with garlic butter, Whole fish, 2 bags of ribs, chicken steaks, pork chops, chicken wings, chicken franks, chicken cartilage, pork burger patties, Taiwanese sausages, cheesy sausages, seafood balls, sweet potatoes and sweetcorn.

As well as all that, we had the BBQ suckling pig which was everyone's favourite!! They even help you to serve it when it is ready.
Basically I had a great time and the food was good especially the suckling pig, chicken wings, burger patties and sweet potatoes.

I definitely had an enjoyable day and it has changed my perception of hot and sticky BBQs because it was nice that the place was fully equipped.
