My first visit, they sold out of their signature bubble tea, so I just got other stuff from the other stalls.
On my second visit, decided to get the blueberry ice, basically it is slushy ice flavoured with blueberry, topped with syrup and crystal pearls.
Tasted artificial as expected, with chewy bits of the crystal pearls.
In the city, i probably would get drinks elsewhere, but in Po lam where it lacks variety, I would get drinks from here again!

Ordered the sago with ice-cream and grass jelly, reasonable portion size and only cost $10.
Then got the snowflake ice with Italian grass jelly and mini glutinous dumplings that cost $13.
So for two reasonable desserts it cost $23 altogether!! Usually for $20 you can only get a basic dessert, the only thing is you can only eat at the stand tables or take away.
Dessert wise, the sago tasted ok, the snowflake one, I chose the Italian grass jelly to go with it so I could compare it to the one at chung’s dessert (po lam one).
Although I only chose two toppings to go with the snowflake ice, they gave other items with it such as red beans for free which I was not appreciative of, I hate red beans!! That is why I don’t go to the traditional dessert houses such as moon gay or Big 8. I would also given the normal grass jelly too, which was good, so I could taste the difference between their Italian one and the cube ones.
The snowflake ice only had three flavours tofu, chocolate and mango, the chocolate was a bit bitter.
Basically I felt, some of the desserts were copied from other places such as the Italian grass jelly with ginger sauce from chung’s in po lam, and the glutinous rice balls with maltesers also copied from cousins “bew jeah dessert”

Quite cool, they had whelks in chili sauce, my favourite, the portion was reasonable big and bigger than the portion I got at Star of Canton, also cheaper too!!
The whelks were reasonable clean too, not any sand in it at all.
The only thing that could be improved was that they should supply a fork or stick to eat them with.

Went here as it was on my restaurants to try list.
When we arrived, the interior was very 1980’s style, even the waiters.
The menu wasn’t very helpful either, just plain Chinese text, and no pictures at all.
Felt like being in the restaurants in china town!
Ordered the signature chicken and the vegetarian pot with ducks feet.
The chicken was ok, the sauce was the best, however the chicken was slightly tough.
The vegetarian pot tasted better, it had baby sweet corns, black fungus, ducks feet, black mosses, all a good mix.
The most interesting thing was the bill!! It looked very complicated, hand written, like those you see in the movies. It had weird columns, anyway to make it simple, one of those old receipts in Hong Kong years and years ago!!

I have always wanted to try this little joint in Wanchai, the Wanchai branched is fairly clean, and the sticks of organs are laid out nicely, however I still hesitated until this indoor branch opened in a food court.
I like the presentation in that the pieces are placed in a little bowl rather on sticks, much easier to eat without sauce dripping all over the place.
It also feels cleaner in the sense they don’t place it on that communal plate where everyone uses it as a place to put all their sauces on. Others may prefer it like this, because a mix of sauces would be tastier.
I was also able to taste the sauce too with other sauces interfering, with notes of various organs and the spices.
As I haven’t tried beef organs, apart from that carpet looking thing in my noodle the other day, I had one of each, intestines, lungs, stomach, etc.
They all tasted relatively the same, as they were all marinated with that sauce, however the textures were slightly different.
One of them was grainy, the lung was smooth and the texture was like eating blood curds, and the carpet was the same as I described it last time.
The intestines I refused to eat because I feel its just the same as eating faeces!! Well it holds faeces anyway!

After I tried the luxury custard mooncake from Peninsula, now I am trying the boring ones with lotus paste and egg yolk.
The mooncake box was boring, I didnt bother taking a picture.
Basically I am not a mooncake lover, especially the traditional ones with lotus paste etc.
This one tastes sweet, but then all mooncakes tastes too sweet for my liking.

G/F, 110-116 Jaffe Road, Wan Chai
Usually when I walk, Chinese cafe restaurants NEVER catch my eye, and I will 99% whiz past them, only today because it was raining, and stuck behind a bunch of zombies, my curious eye wandered down to their daily lunch sets.
I saw the beef steak with peach and duck breast, so ordered that, and bittermelon with pork.
The waiter at the front was very chatty, in fact you could say a chatterbox, he boasted the soup had no msg and boiled for over 10 hours.
Anyway within our wait, we were already subconsciously hearing stuff from him, and then he reckons he usually sees us walk across on the opposite street.
Finally got our food, I was just curious to see if is was 5 star quality like their name.
Well first of all, was only given two pairs of chopsticks and one meal spoon.
Anyway since the Chinese spoons are useless to me, it didn't bother me, so I got used my own normal spoon, anyway the peach sauce was quite good, the onions were crunchy but sweet, fair amount of sliced button mushrooms, peaches, and pineapple.
Then eating the beef was a bit tricky. I think my use of chopsticks is rather handicapped, so I got out my knives and forks to finish it!! The duck breast was ok, slightly fat.
The only thing I didnt like was the diced carrots, they were rock hard!
The bittermelon was ok, nice and soft, and fully flavoured.
The soup contained no MSG as the waiter stated, and because it contained the dried octopus, it is able to get the saltiness from there.
