Bless has been around for ages.
Unfortunately this branch is on the corner so when people walk past, Checkcheckcin is more prominent.
There will be more competition with another Taiwanese beverage opening soon.

Anyway, it was hot that day so got the Skin angel juice which was a refreshing blend of Asian pear, pineapple and lime.
The pineapple and Asian pear made it quite sweet and viscous.
Overall quite thirst quenching and a good option when there isn't a juicery nearby.

Herbal hotpot in East Kowloon

I have always wanted to try YXD in TKO but I didn't know where it was even though I knew it was in some hotel near Popcorn.
Finally found it so went there for hotpot.
We picked lots of vegetable dishes and the snow fungus was the best as you get a whole one.
The luncheon ham is ready to eat as it has been fried. Each piece was thickly sliced and crispy.
For the broth had the usual silkie chicken and herbs and the beauty pot.
The silkie chicken was really tasty and nourishing so be sure to eat it soon before it gets over cooked in the pot!!
Also had the ducks blood, assorted mushrooms and spicy dumplings.
Overall, the hotpot is consistently good at all the branches I have been but the toilet here is in such a state and needs attention because they are in a hotel.

Tim Ho Wan is a Michelin recommended dimsum eatery but to be honest I felt that it was just average just like other dimsum places in Hong Kong.
It is evidently successful in TKO as the area is being renovated yet they are not affected.
Ordered two items which I was expecting to be savoury but they all contain sugar.
Started with the compulsory HKD3 but sadly they only have one choice of tea available which is annoying.

The meat patty was a bit stodgy and the soy sauce that they poured on was sweet.

Last but not least were the beef balls, again weirdly sweet and made worse by the sauce which was supposed to be some vinegar but it was also sweet.

Definitely not as good as the dimsums overseas but the quality of dimsums overseas are also getting worse as there are more Chefs from HK in Chinatown now.
But then who needs to go to Chinatown these days when you can buy Chinese takeaways and dimsums from the local supermarkets which probably taste better.

2019-04-04  218 瀏覽
Went here for some vegetables and they have more options than before.
The sauteed spinach with bacon has always been there but the broccoli is new.
The broccoli turned out really delicious as the chili made it extremely appetizing and it wasn't too spicy.
There was garlic in it too and assorted mushrooms.
The spinach wasn't that tasty to begin with but it turns out all the sauce is at the bottom so if you mix it, the taste is great but evidently not fresh spinach so I don't recommend this dish.
Drinks is just drinks and refillable from the drinks bar.

Some good finds occasionally but expensive
2019-03-16  236 瀏覽
 This food joint has been around for god knows how long and they serve a good variety of local dishes and snacks.
Tried the fried treasures before which were really good but rather expensive compared to the city.
This time I spotted boxes of fried fish which looked good so I got a box costing HKD38 which is quite expensive when I was expecting it to be around HKD35.
There were 9 fishes in the box.

Took them home and reheated them a bit in the microwave and they were good as expected.
The fish were slightly salted and the skin was crispy and tasty.

[Review 7264] WokPot @ 彩興來來火鍋

Choi Hing is located at Corinthia By The Sea which is a real bugger to get to.
There is no connecting mall so you have to take main road to Chi Shin Street, cross that then go in the small alley which leads to Corinthia By The Sea.
Luckily I was accompanying someone to get their SmartID done so I didn't deliberately come all the way here for this.
Went here randomly for hotpot as the pots looked funny.
 The pots looked more like WOKS so therefore I call them wokpots!
The menu was pretty standard so it just depends on the quality of the ingredients they use.
Hotpots must be tasteless as sauces and condiments are annoying compulsory and charged when I don't really need it.

Some of the items were creative for a hotpot with avocado items.
- Avocado wasabi Beef
-Prawn balls stuffed with avocado
There are various of pots to choose from, if you choose fish that will be a bad mistake.
The fish isn't that silky and the best thing is bones!
For the hotpot, here were the items we had:
The ostrich meat was damn good because it was tender like beef but without any cholesterol.
If you order rice vermicelli, it ends up tasting like the Chinese braised vermicelli dish with duck.
As for the hotpot, it gets saltier and saltier towards to end laced with fish bones.
Definitely coming back again for a bonetastic experience!

Spotted the new cream puffs [Double  Fantasy Japanese Apple] by Chateraise which has cream, custard and apple inside so decided to try it.
They reminded me of apple turnovers as it had apple and cream but in a different pastry.
The cream puff was soft and pillowly but I thought the custard was too overwhelming as it was too sweet.
I wish it was just cream and apple inside just like the apple turnovers or just simply custard as the combination of the three was too sickly.

Went here a while ago before the food court went under renovation.
Just had the plain curry which contains some minced meat and diced carrots.
I didn't like it because the curry was just sweet with an artificial aftertaste.
It appears that Gin Curry has now become extinct on the TKO side as the branches at popcorn and East Point City have gone.

Delish cholesterol fueled orange snacks

I love these orange snacks every now and then but the two good ones are located in Kowloon next to busy traffic whilst the one in Sheungwan has bad attitude.
Discovered this joint at the FoodLane in a clean air conditioned environment so decided to try it.


The  cuttlefish  tentacles looked bigger compared to the ones I have seen before.
Despite the size, it was still tender and springy.
Overall, it was quite satisfying as the sauce makes every bite so moreish when you have the perfect ratio of mustard to Seafood sauce.
I love it when my skewer has a piece of chopped up feeding tentacle as that part tastes really good because it is the most tender part compared to the arms.


Also tried the intestines as it had ones of those round pieces from the two weird looking skewers behind the intestines.

Actually I am so glad I didn't order it as the texture was like biting into fat so I couldn't spit it out quick enough.
The intestines were as good as expected and the guy is quite nice as he lets you pick which skewer you want from the pile!

KFC spotted in TKL with Self Serve kiosks

I am so glad there is a KFC in TKL and the best thing is that there is a self service kiosk because the one at Wongtaisin and Hanghau does not have these kiosks so you have to queue at the medieval queue.
Not really a fan of the KFC in Hong Kong as they are standardized to Hongkie style ie CRUNCHY chicken.
Ended up getting the salted egg chicken wings which were crispy covered in rich salted egg yolk with a slight spiciness to it.
The mashed potato was also damn localised as it had black pepper in it.
My last hope was the chicken a la king which is also hongkie style with black pepper in it.
