Since HM launched the six grains omusubi , I have been addicted to the vegetarian ones because they are tasty and nutritious.

As it was the end of the month,  I got the Konbu and Dadachamame again before they change the menu.

The six grains is more filling and satisfying.
Each mouthful was loaded with dadachamame beans and not overly salty.
The beans in it were starchy with a little sweetness.
I was so glad this joint was nearby in SPK as the food in this area is crap.

Sanpokong is another thriving area so eateries are trying their luck there as well.
I haven't heard of Master of Charsiu but it was strangely in the conversations of non foodies so decided to check it out.The decor was above average for Chinese food in that area.

On the wall were some piggies if you looked at it closely.

Crockery.
 Not a fan of red bean drink but I was intrigued by the sugar cne straw which is just the same as plastic.
For starters tried the fried pork chop which was crispy but it was still a bit oily.
Also tried the spring onion sandwich which is trending at the moment.
It was very different and had a piece of butter just like the Pineapple buns in Hong Kong.
Now to the star of the show CHARSIU!!

Presentation was fantastic and the roast pork was thinly sliced!
The texture was very different, it was springy with a crunch.
Overall, I felt that it was just another option for food in the area.

Finally tried this as I was in the area.As well as SPK, they now have another branch in Tai Koo.
On the menu, the drinks are divided in different categories.
Teas with a nutty foam, Nut teas etc.
I chose the Nutmylk with taro as I wanted to try the nutmylk.
The taste was how I expected and similar to 137 degrees nut drinks.

I think I made the wrong choice as the earl grey with the thick cream cap would have been better but then you don't really get to taste the nut milk in that drink.

I was still hungry after dinner so got a bun from HFT.
There is chicken or pork so got the chicken.
The bun is quite big and fluffy filled with minced chicken.
Overall quite nice but quite sweet, the typical Chinese style steamed buns.

Sanpokong is really gearing up in the food scene these days Thanks to more offices being nearby just like other industrial areas like Kwuntong, Kwaichung etc.A foodie friend got me this so I didn't have to trek into spk.

I really should go and visit as there are so many hip new cafes nearby.
Tried the yuzu chiffon which was soft and fluffy, not too sweet with a natrual yuzu taste.
There are other flavours too, so I recommend it if you are in the area.

Went here for dinner after going to the gun club nearby.We were greeted by this familiar looking gentlemen who turned out to be the owner, it turns out he is cantopop singer Vangie Tang's dad which explains his good looks!
My favourite song by VT is Gei Lim!!

Anyway, back to the food, they specialize in chicken pots and there is a pretty good seafood set for 2xx per person and you get a live crab, oyster, fish prawns and abalone!~

Here was the delicious hotpot:

The spiciness was just right and I liked the way it was steady and the spiciness remained constant all the way through.
The chicken was tender and the purple onions were sweet.
After we finished eating the chicken, broth was added.
The crab turned out really good and everything was tasty that we didn't really need the sauces given in the beginning.

I was still hungry after dinner and this was one of the shops that was still open at Rhythm gardens so tried it because I haven't tried it before.
Got the rice rolls for $8 where you get 4 rolls sliced randomly.

They weren't fantastic but then I didn't have any expectations.

The ricerolls were too soft and the sauces were pretty lame.
[Was still hungry afterwards!!!!]

Went here and ate some interesting dishes.
The roasted piglet (not mine) was no bigger than a chihuahua!!
I found the vegetable dish very interesting, it was a cooked salad of lettuce and tomatoes.
Despite the strange combination, I liked the tomato broth.
Tried the NZ black abalone which is grey in colour. It tastes a bit like squid.
There was fish maw but it tasted a bit fishy.

Congee is always recommended when people are sick because it is tasteless and oil free.
I think flat rice noodles are good too when you are sick as they are tasteless as well.
I went to this joint because the noodle shop opposite was rude.
As I didn't know you could order plain noodles I ordered a noodle with a topping and when I gave them my order sheet they said minimum order was three toppings so I added two more to the list.
Anyway, when it came, there were only two items and it cost $28 which I don't know how they calculated it.
After I told them, there were only two items they put a third item in and changed the bill to $29.
I found the noodles tasteless even though the broth had a strong MSG taste.
The curry potatoes were not my cup of tea because it was just sweet and spicy.
I really disliked the chicken feet as well because they were just fried frozen chicken feet which were tasteless and the texture was weird.

Recently started going to spk because my club is there so I decided to eat around the area.
It was really hard deciding what to eat because everything is local around there.
Anyway settled here because they had some dimsums I havent tried before.
I got the steamed fish head with rice but it was too salty.

If I knew they had a whole steamed fish I would have had that instead.
Also had steamed ribs because it had chan's village noodles (chan chuen faan) beneath it but obviously I didn't eat the fatty pork.
The noodles were like dense rice rolls but nicer because it absorbed the sauces.

Next time I will come back for the steamed fish and fancy dimsums.
