I am not quite sure how to react but the Chinese culture is always mocked for eating dogs especially in Chi Naaaaaa.
In UK people would always joke and ask if dog meat was served in Chinese Takeaways and restaurants.
When I saw dog on the menu from the flyer I decided to check it out and it didn't really say what it was.
There were bunnies as well which looked like they had German measles.
Well, pretty realistic and they look like a newborn foetuses wobbling about.
Ok, so it wasn't a real pup but some pudding!
Also had the golden abalone ingot which was just jelly with sweetcorn and abalone in it,.
The fish was quite good as it was topped with black bean sauce.
Unfortunately, you get charged tea per person which comes in the form of tea bags with a jar of hot water.

[Review 7194] Strange minced pork @ 川滬客棧 Shanghai & Szechuen Cuisine

As I was still hungry went here for some dandan noodles.
It was just HKD30 a la carte which was pretty good.
When I got it, the presentation was rather poor, it was pale and weird.
What I didn't like was the minced pork which wasn't minced pork but pieces of disgusting fat.
This is the reason Hong Kong puts me off eating meat as you don't get real meat but strange stuff.

Next time, I will probably ask them to leave out the meat as it doesn't make any difference anyway.
It had coriander too which I will have to remember to request it left out.

It turns out the peanut stuff is at the bottom of the bowl so you have to mix it together.

Apart from the weird meat, the taste was quite good and the portion was big.
Do remember to look out for weird blue fibres which I got as well.

Every now and then I like to have some Chinese soup.
Yan Woh Tong has quite a wide variety of choices and that day I tried dong gwai which was quite strong.

In the bowl, there were chunks of meat and herbs which can be eaten as well.

It would help if their menu had English to compete with that green and red franchise!
Next time I plan to try the other soups but sadly, the locations are not that convenient.

Finally found a branch where you can dine in.

In the afternoon, they are doing a mini Hainan chicken rice for $31.

I am so glad I went during the afternoon as it didn't taste as good as expected, hence wasting $31 on a mini portion is better than wasting $4x on a full portion.

The chicken oil rice was hard and boring lacking flavour so the scallion oil saved the day.


The chili sauce was quite nice but it was slightly sweet so I didn't like i

I was shocked at how hard it was to choose a drink because the choice for smoothies was impressive.
There was cucumber and pineapple, avocado, Pistachio and almond smoothie and this bizarre tom yum soda.
In the end, I had the pistachio and almond smoothie which was quite nice as it was not too sweet, but the colour was weirdly pastel blue to the naked eye and I couldn't really taste any pistachio or almond.
Regretted getting the coconut smoothie because it was too milky.

Got these parsnips from Eat East, all the water content has been drawn out hence they are a bit dehydrated when you re heat them in the microwave.
The taste was sweet but the texture is slightly woody, so next time when I get these frozen products, I will probably let it thaw and then heat it in the microwave for 1 minute.

Went here again during the weekday for the tea set because it is nice and quiet.

The tea set has a good mix of savouries and sweets.
I always start off with the savouries. There was egg and mayo croissant, tuna sandwich with thai herbs and a sefood roll.

The savouries at Spade by Lassana are always good, my favourite was the croissant.

Then I moved on to the second plate which was chocolate brownies and blueberry icecream.

The blueberry icecream was amazing, it tasted like Yoplait's forest fruit yoghurt and it wasn't too sweet.

The top plate was fruit tarts and cheesecake and the cheesecake was fluffy like a marshmallow, you won't know what I mean unless you have put your fork into it because it is that soft.

I stayed for quite a long time so I had the chestnut cake as well which had lots of chestnut puree and I loved the chocolate cake layers in between.

I can't seem to find this restaurant listed on openrice, therefore I am posting comments at the old address.
However you can find the new address at ipick.

Surprisingly there are branches of Kim Gary in Singapore and Malaysia.
At this branch, there is a security camera at the entrance, so people can see you on the screen before you come in.
The steak is sodarized but pretty good because it is quite thick and tender.
The noodle and tofu pots were also good.

Tried to go here a few days ago but it was closed.
Luckily there was a good noodle shop nearby and I had the $99 afternoon tea set at Spade by Lassana so I didn't waste my journey.
Went again and luckily it was open.
The staff here were really nice.
It was quite hot eating there because I sat outside.
Anyway, I ordered the Thai noodles with marinated duck and crispy pork.
It was nice that they give you blood curds.

The pork was crispy and deliciouis without being too fat or salty.

The duck was disappointing because it was just skin and bones and I don't know how to eat skin and bones.
The only piece that did have a bit of meat was delicious and tasty.

There were some sauces on the table which make the noodles even more delicious if you add them.
