Lunch at QB

Went here for lunch because I wanted to try the soba noodles but unfortunately it was sold out.Should have trusted by sixth sense not to come.
Anyway, as everywhere was packed, ended up staying and choosing the herbal chicken with rice.

The broth had a really strong herb taste to the point it was bitter.
For the other set, had noodles which came with crispy beancurd and pork belly.
The noodles were great but the strands kept breaking.
I really liked the crispy pork belly but it was rather fat but the shrimp paste flavouring was really good.

There are some good places in QB but often it's sold out due to more demand than supply so I normally avoid QB if I can.

I used to dine at the Wanchai joint but they have now moved to QB.
Got the donburi with uni and salmon.
The salmon was fresh and the uni was creamy which went with the rice perfectly.

Also had the salmon roe and uni sushi which was very satisfying as the salmon was thickly sliced topped with my favourite popping salmon roe!

[Review 6117] Asian pret x mxnger @ HAWKR

I didn't know what to expect here but I am always trying out SingMalay foods.
When I arrived, it just instantly looked like Pret x mangxr with soups, noodles, wraps, salads, desserts etc but Asian flavours like Rendang beef, Vietnamese salad etc.
If you eat there it feels so Hong Kong as there are so many red taxis going along that road.
I decided to get THE PENANG noodle because you get the fun of adding hot water to it like a pot noodle since there is a soup paste at the bottom which dissolves into a broth.


The hot Prawn Popiah wrap was filled with prawns, Taiwanese sausage, tofu, jicama, carrot, beansprouts and Hawkr's special Popiah sauce. I really liked it because it was crammed with so much stuff.


My friend had the Javanese Beef Rendang which was very aromatic as there was fresh turmeric and galangal taste to the beef.

For dessert finished with the pudding which contains sabja seeds at the bottom.
I liked it more than chia seeds because it does not irritate your throat and it was not too sweet.

Went here because I love fish.
They serve fish maw which women love because of the collagen.
Started with the beef cubes which was juicy and tender.
The oyster rice pot came with big plump strong tasting oysters.
The noodle was my favourite because the fish gas bladder was big and generous however the fish maw wasn't soft enough.
I will probably come again because the fish broth they serve is rich and strong.

I never go to QB or Taikoo because food is always shit and the prices are way overpriced which I would rather pay dining in West Hong Kong.
It is weird that No 7 Tasty Channel is listed on openrice as well as the other shops listed individually.
 1 讚好

It is on the second floor so two flights of stairs up.
The decor was really good and that's it.
Basically you choose what you want from the menu, pay for it at the cashier and collect it from the relevant joint.
I felt that it was Quarry Bay prices except for the fish noodle stall that used to be in Tai Kok tsui.

Hopefully, they will have some other new stalls like Indian, English, Italian and vegetarian because the current choices are a bit too local for my liking.

With the trend of lobster rolls in HK, Dutch Harbor Crab popped up specializing in Alaskan king crab from Dutch Harbor.

Dutch Harbor is the source for Alaskan king crab legs which appeared in a famous US TV show called Deadliest catch.

I went during the weekend to avoid the office crowd and this joint fits in nicely with ALOHA and Healthy Chicken.

Annoyingly, they had my favourite grilled cheese sandwich so I ordered that and a mini King Crab roll.

The King crab roll was amazing because the bun was soft and fluffy with a slight crispiness and the crab was scrumptious as expected because the crab tasted like it was freshly taken out from the sea and oozing with seawater.
 3 讚好

The dressing was minimalistic so it didn't over power the freshness.

For a new shop, I was quite impressed with the menu because they had pictures for all their rolls including the vegetarian one which most restaurants neglect.
They also accept card.

The only good thing here is the self check out kiosk.
Anyway, tried the meals from the counter and the beef was dry and hard.

Space out cookies from I.E Kitchen

I got these “Space out” cookies from I.E Kitchen Academie, which were featured on the newspaper recently.

They come in a silver tin with six flavours..

The cookies were crumbly and gone within a flash when I shared them.

Here were the six flavours in the tin:

+++
Naughty Boy:
 0 讚好

This square cookie with raspberry in the middle looked like my childhood Jammie dodger favourite.
The raspberry jam in the middle was tart and made it stand out from the other cookies.
+++
Rosette:
 0 讚好

Shaped just like a rosette, these were buttery and crumbly that they melted in your mouth.
According to IE, they are made with butter from New Zealand.
+++
The Elegance:
 0 讚好

These are for people with a sweet tooth and the sweetness is not cloyingly sweet with pieces of white chocolate and hazelnuts.
+++
Tangy Honey:
 0 讚好

The Tangy Honey had a nice citrus smell with pieces of fruit peel and yuzu flavouring.
+++
The Triple C:
 0 讚好

This flavour is for coffee lovers because it has a strong coffee taste packed with lots of cashew nuts that you can see.
+++
Joyful:
 0 讚好

The joyful looked like biscotti with lots of pistachio nuts in it that gave it a lovely pistachio aroma.
+++
The cookies cost $208 with six flavours inside.
