The summer season is over, the heat is still here, and I need to KEEP cool with a drink.

Usually I can cool myself with the pink grapefruit and jelly, but now the autumn menu is out, so the pink grapefruit is no longer available.

Anyway I got the melon and lemon jelly and it was better than I imagined, melon has always been savoryish, especially with Parma Ham, but as a drink, it worked well with the sour notes of the lemon.

The only thing that could be improved was their slooooooooooooooooow service, I suspected she didnt know how to use the blender, the fruit at the bottom was blended, while the ice remained at the top was not blended, then she finally realised it after a while and pushed down the ice, and Hey presto! I finally got my drink after waiting for ages!!!!!!!

Got the Rendang beef, basically it was cubes of beef, slightly roasted on the edges and marinated in the curry sauce.

The curry sauce should have been reddish brown too, however it was just the normal green curry colour.

It did not taste like the authentic dish, but I did not have the expectation it would, the rice was slightly too hard, however the food in urban areas general do not taste that good, however the price will be cheaper than in city areas.

Just wanted to celebrate the typhoon so got the chocolate cake.

Just like the angel cake, the chocolate cake is like the angel version, the cake is soft as chiffon, and the cream is rich and light.

Also the chocolate pieces were also supplied in a separate pack to add as a topping.

Thanks to the typhoon, I finally got a chance to try Burger King's breakfast.

I got the sausage croissant with egg and tea, there were other croissants too, all very tempting, egg and ham, egg and bacon!

The croissant was not the real butter croissant, but a half bun, half croissant version to make it easier to eat without flaking everywhere.
The egg was rather bland, and the sausage patty had a strong sage taste, however there where bits of tendons and ungrounded bits. I should have got the ham instead.

Anyway, luckily they had two types of tea, the HK style one or the Western one, so I got the Western one, even though it didn’t taste that good, but finally got the chance to try their breakfast!!

Went to the Ajisen @ hang hau, however not all the items on the menu were served there.

Next time, I will not go to branded stores in urban areas, they never have the full menu, especially highlighted items or new items.
I wanted to try the fried taro balls, and prawn dumplings, but both were not available.

Ordered the soft pork bone noodles, cold konjac noodles and fried new year cheese cake.

New year cheese cake: nicely done, pale and not over fried.

soft pork bone noodles: tastes how it should, however the pork bone was slightly dry.

Konjac cold noodes: totally different from the picture. the strands were squiggly like twisted elastic bands, but in the picture they appeared like straight cut buckwheat noodles.
As for the texture, tasted like jellyfish, the normal konjac texture.

Previously I spotted a picture posted on Openrice showing these cold noodles, so I had to try it, however when i went to try the causeway bay branch they did not have it.

Finally they had it on their seasonal menu.

The set includes a drink, noodles and rice with prawn, better than the set at TST.

The rice comes with fried prawn and onion, a bit like tempura, but prawn and onion dipped together in batter and fried together, abit like the onion rings served at steakhouses.
The rice tastes good with vinegar too.

The noodles, were springy and smooth, tasted good when it was mixed with sauce.

Havent been here for a while, as there has not been any new additions, but then I found out about the egg and bacon, so tried that.

Just simply an egg and a slice of bacon sandwiched in between the crusts.

Quite interesting, egg sandwiched between crunchy layers, the yolk was well done, so didnt get chance to have it runny.

The bacon was ok, I would have preferred sausage.
