[Review 161] Back dated review for last year @ 惠豐涼茶素食

14/08/2008

As this shop is located in Kwai Hing, not much choice around there to eat.

So sometimes I would get some snacks from here, dosn't taste that good, also the woman who serves you has an attitude problem, she tries to be quick, so if your slow or still deciding, she ignores you.

Unless there is no other choice, I would not come here.

[Review 60] A bit confusing @ Soland

Date reviewed on openrice 30/1/2007

Well i got there at 2.30 to avoid the lunchtime rush, luckily they still had some set lunches left. It was a bit confusing, because i didn't realise they only had one choice for lunch, which you could choose to have either soup or drink and decide whether to have dessert of not.

Since i didn't know what the waitress was waffling on about, I just said yes, since i came all the way to try it out.

First came the seaweed and green pea soup, which was very nice with rich seaweed and bean flavour.

Next came the main course, which is exactly the same as the pictures submitted by openrice members.
It tasted really nice, with chickpeas, okra (lady fingers), herbs, and other crunchy vegetables. Not really filling, on my next visit i shall ask for extra rice, cos i didn't know u could.

After the salad came the banana cake, tasted a bit too sweet for me and the banana tasted bitter, so i think that the cake must have been a few days old, since fresh bananas are not dark and oxidised.

I was also given lemon water, which also tasted very bitter too, i think lemon is a bit off, because the lemon peel is rather thin, so it must have been in the fridge for days.

Overall everything was good, next time I will just have the soup and main course.

[Review 52] Feels like chinatown @ TAI極の素 (銅鑼灣)

Date reviewed on openrice: 07/01/2007

Well every time i come here...i feel like i am back in the UK china town restaurants.

Anyway commenting on the food, i like to eat the buffet in the late afternoon, since it costs around 35 dollars.

I mainly like peppered rice, its fragrant with tones of grounded black pepper in it. The purple cabbage salad is also good. A lot of stuff are good, such as the curry, chili tofu, tofu in olive oil etc.

My favourite is the roast potatoes, because they are fried/roasted, and sprinkled with herbs and spices.

There are lots of sauces too in the condiments area, if you find the dishes a bit bland, and soup is there as well, and sweet soup.

[Review 37] Bad service @ 百好素食

Date reviewed on openrice: 百好素食 23/04/2006

I noticed this vegetarian restaurant cos one of the waitresses was shouting aloud about their vegetarian sushi.

So I went over to have a look, okay I must admit there is a wide variety: sashimi sushi, long leg crab sushi, eel sushi, tuna sushi, abalone sushi, etc.

I just didn't like the fact that the waitress' attitude was so aggressive at selling, ie the ppl who were there were deciding whether to buy, and she already put them into the bags, so like the customers were like obliged to buy it.

I also didn't like the fact that she made it sound like it was such an offer, ie it usually isn't that cheap ie 3 pieces of sushi for 10 dollars. Anyway i am a regular veg eater at this other restaurant in Lai Chi Kok, and the sushi there is even cheaper at 4 pieces for 10 dollars.

When it was my turn to order, she told me to hurry up with my choice of sushi.

Apart from this, the sushi is ok, the food texture of the salmon sushi is very similar to the real thing.
