I thought I had tried all their shortcake flavours but I missed one and that was the eggyolk!
To be honest I didn't even know about it until a friend told me.
It tastes interesting because there is sweet chewy pineapple and then there is a whole starchy egg yolk in the middle.
But anyway, quite palatable.

Went here ages ago so the menu and decor have changed completely according to the recent reviews.
When I went I had the purple potato bread which was filled with thick seafood pumpkin soup that was good for dipping the bread.
The pumpkin soup was as thick as gravy and not too sweet.
Hopefully the tortilla chips are not paired with the bread anymore because everything is healthy except that.

According to wiki Old Master Q is a popular Hong Kong comic portrayed in cartoon form in newspapers and magazines as far back as 1962 which was later serialised in 1964. OMQ Dining room is basically decorated with Old Master Q so it makes a great tourist attraction for people to experience.
Foodwise, they serve the typical cha chaan teng stuff like Swiss wings, baked pork chops etc, fancy desserts and drinks.

I had the fancy sweet potato drink with black diamonds which was actually grass jelly. A surprisingly good drink because it was not too sweet or artificial and I liked the sweet cream on top.

For food I went for lasagne and vegetable fried rice.
The lasagne was ok but a bit sweet and too soft.

The vegetable fried rice was quite good, it was healthy and light.

For dessert, had the flaming souffle which was filled with icecream.


Overall a great place for gatherings because it is quite spacious with baby chairs.
The seats are big enough for large people!
Not funny but funny because the character looks decapitated!

Finally passed by when the LuiSangChun building was open.
Tried to apply for the tour but it was cancelled.
Anyway, decided to get the tea for fun which was unsweetened but not too bitter.
There were four different teas so it depends on how you feel but the lady there should be experienced enough to identify your symptoms and serve you the appropriate tea.

tried the new siracha chicken burger with egg, siracha sauce, cheese and honey mayonnaise.
i found the burger too dry and the chicken patty too salty.
the siracha sauce was really fiery and too spicy for my tastebuds so great for people who like it spicy.

On the last visit, I tried their modern dumplings like cheese, sweetcorn that I didn't have room for the traditional ones.This time I went back for the traditional ones.
There seem to be more sauces and condiments on the table and the pickled cucumber was the most interesting because it tastes exactly like burger relish!!
Started with the golden preserved eggs which I think taste better than the black version because the ammonia taste isn't there and it is more like jelly with a thick runny yolk in the middle.

Next was the noodles because I just wanted to have some noodles so that I could whack in some condiments and stuff.


Had the Matsuke mushroom dumplings again which tasted as good as before and two traditional ones with cabbage and choysum.


To be honest, the traditional ones were really good and the cabbage one was the best.





While I was eating, I discovered this huge display dumpling in the kitchen!!

Went here because the food is not expensive but the environment is too noisy.
Anyway, had a meat platter and beef stew to share.
The beef stew was really good with a rich alcoholic taste, there were lots of beef in it however some of the pieces were soft and some were brisky.
It was good that it was accompanied with bread sticks so you can dip the delicious sauce but these bread sticks were literally crispy hard sticks!The platter was good for sharing but the meats were tough and dry.
The sweetcorn tasted awful because the butter had this rancid odour.


Overall, affordable but don't expect too much.

I didn't realize this was new as it was already packed with people.
Only found out when we finished as they apologised for the food being slow.
The menu was quite good with mini donburis where you get to choose two.
+++
For the full sized don, I got the grilled salmon which was seared just right brushed with a delicious soy sauce.
++++
Also had some sashimi and the salmon was sliced generously thick!!!!
The drinks mat on sashimi was weird though for presentation and it wasn't needed.
They recommended the salmon belly for better quality but I prefer the normal salmon as it is not so fat.
+++
Overall, good food, hope they keep the standards because I want to return for the grilled salmon don.

To be honest, I came here for dessert and it didn't let me down.
The usual sago you see in restaurants are just white with sago pearls, but on Social Media I saw these green pearls which made me try it.
As expected, the dessert tasted so good and the fact that it was not too sweet made it amazing.
There were bits of taro, sweetcorn, water chestnuts in it as well as sago.
The salted lemon soda was fantastic as well because it is probably the saltiest salty lemon you can find but I loved it.

Also had the chicken rice and fried rice.

After choosing the Ribeye on the last visit, decided to come back for the tenderloin.
 0 讚好

Went with more people so that we could try other meats as well.

Started with oysters, I liked the way the spinach leaf separates the cheese and oyster but the thing that let it down was oyster shells in the cheese and you could also see oyster shell bits on the paper.
The lobster was only $68 so don't expect it to be big.



As expected the tenderloin was meaty and flavourful.

The ribs were good but the meat didn't come off the bone easily.

It would be great if they pre sliced the steaks like Flat Iron in London since these novelty butcher knives are difficult to use.

Hoping to visit the hangout later.

Went here because they had panfried cheese dumplings.

There is an open kitchen so you can see dumplings being handmade.

Here was what I had:

「Gam Zaa」Steamed Dumplings filled with Pork And Red Fermented Bean Curd.
Ordered this because of the filling, but the dumpling skin was thick and I would have liked the pork to be leaner.
 0 讚好

Chongzing Pork Wontons with noodles:
The wontons were taut and the pork was lean, while the noodles were too soft.

The broth was quite spicy.
 0 讚好

Pan-fried Cheese Dumpling:
I was expecting just cheese but it had pork and sweetcorn as well. The sweetcorn stole the show so you couldn't taste any cheese. Pairing cheese and onion is a no brainer in Western cuisine but it also depends if they use good cheese or processed cheese which really affects the taste.

For drinks had the Hawthorn Pear Water which has Pear, Licorice, Rock Sugar, Malt and Water.
The drink was not too sweet and it was soothing.

I loved the Dumplings with Matsutake Mushroom & Pork (With Zong Jyun Gau Ding Soup).
The dumplings tasted really earthy because of the mushrooms.

Also had the crispy tofu filled with Matsutake Mushroom, they were great but a bit too oily.

The golden eggs were my favourite because they were spicy and delicious.
