Goose breast vs Goose leg

This place used to be some Taiwanese joint but not anymore.It is now a goose joint specializing in roasted goose.


The motto was interesting: GOOD FOOD IS GOOSE MOOD!

As this place specializes in goose, how could I not order goose.
Leg is more expensive in Chinese terms because the meat is considered better which I do agree with but the chicken and ducks in HK are usually anorexic.
Anyway, tried the leg and breast to compare.

To be honest, I thought the breast was better and the fact that the goose here is anorexic the goose breast isn't as tough as you would expect.
It was good that I asked for it without the sauce as it can be quite oily or too sweet hence ruining the rice.
The goose leg was ok but anorexic as expected so it was bony with lots of skin.
I think the experience for the goose leg would have been better if it hadn't been chopped up.
Overall, in Hong Kong terms, the goose breast is a better choice as you are guaranteed some meat to eat.

To finish, had the salted lemon soda and I liked the way I was given a whole salted lemon that was intact!

Kane Tsuri has been on my list to eat for ages.
There are now 5 branches and this is the newest branch on SHELL STREET which is near Fortrress Hill.

The chicken broth ramen is also recommended but I prefer the grilled unagi so I ordered the Grilled Unagi.
At the moment, the other branches have a ramen offer on Openrice for HKD98.

Started with the octopus salad which was quite appetizing.

Here was my grilled unagi with rice.

Each bite of the unagi was amazing, it was thick and meaty and most importantly without any bones.
It was grilled to perfection glazed in their secret sauce.
On the side, there was broth that was cooked with liver and bone.
Finished with the matcha warabi  which was a bit too sweet for my liking.

Overall, the unagi is a winner and definitely recommended.

Went here randomly.
They specialize in knife cut noodles so tried the knife cut noodles with dandan sauce.
Unfortunately it was a super hot day which made it difficult to eat noodles.
The noodles kept slipping from the chopsticks.

Overall not my cup of tea as the noodles were not really tasty so next time I am going to try the rice.

The name SHEEP and PIG  got my attention so decided to go and check it out.I thought it was going to be a Western restaurant like Feather and bone or something fancy like that.
The decor was modern and the clothes peg bench at the front was rather cute.

It turns out they serve Japanese and Western inspired dishes.



The menu covers were quite random, some were pictures of HK and other stuff.


I don't get why they have used the rolling pin as a logo because they don't bake or serve any pies there.

Started off with the buffalo wings which was tangy served with blue cheese dressing.
Overall a good start.

For the mains had the Japanese style fish donburi which was quite sweet topped with oden type vegetables.



The signature Sheep and Pig rolls were pretty.
They were rolls wrapped in Pink Soy paper


Inside these rolls were tuna, avocado and fried prawn.
It tasted similar to a California roll but with better ingredients inside.



Finished with a coke float.


Overall a nice comfy joint for food.

A while ago I was given a flyer when they opened but just didn't make it.
Was bored one afternoon after running nearby so decided to give it a visit.
Rabbit Rabbit Tea is a tea joint from Taiwan.

Obviously being called Rabbit Rabbit Tea, there was visible effort that it was rabbit themed unlike this other lame tea house called BEAR TEA which just has bear logos on the cups.
The drinks menu was much better than anticipated.
They had smoothies, lattes, teas etc.
Buckwheat latte was something they offered and other places don't so had that. There was a plain buckwheat tea available but I prefer it with milk as buckwheat is very strong on its own.

The straw had a cute rabbit nose attached which makes it memorable as well as functional since it stops the straw from slipping into the cup.

The taste was just as good as expected as the milk mellowed the taste of the buckwheat and it was like drinking malted milk from Vitasoy.

The lady Earl Grey was also good as it was very aromatic and fragrant in a natural way.

Oneironaut is person who explores dream worlds, usually associated with lucid dreaming which is definitely me.
I always have dreams within dreams and I love it when you know you are in a dream so you can do stuff which you can't do in reality.
Anyway, went here during off peak hours because it is nice and quiet, would have tried the hojicha latte but only had HKD50 on me so had the Jasmine Jelly and Jasmine Tea.
The Jasmine jelly was really good as there was a strong jasmine taste but I didn't like the coco de nata as it just got in the way.
Finished with the tea which was a good compliment.

[Review 7155] Healthy drinks with yoghurt @ 輕時光 Take Your Time

I have always wanted to try this joint because not many places offer drinks with yoghurt.
The menu was confusing so I ended up ordering the wrong drink.
There are two different yoghurts so you have to choose your drinks carefully.
The selection at the bottom is made with the stuff that tastes like yakult the stuff I don't like because to me that isn't yoghurt but just stuff with lactobacillus and flavouring.
Ended choosing the strawberry milkshake which was blended with fresh strawberries so I really liked it.
For me the star of the show was the hot taro milk which was made with freshly mashed taro and not many places serve Taro anymore with the rising popularity of purple potato.
The good thing is that both are served on the menu as so many people getting them confused.
TARO and Purple Potato taste very different.

To be honest, I have never heard of this place until my friend discovered it.
If I had went myself I would have given up as the door bell does not work!!
You are greeted by a lady who gives you that grandmother feeling.
The food selections were good and I managed to find a few items that I liked such as the fried rice which had delicious pieces of galangal ginger in it.
The soup was good so I was satisfied.
The only improvement was the hygiene and state of the floor.
