Previously tried their white curry and curry, the white curry is not as good as Satay King, it tastes strong in coconut.
The curry however is fiery and tastes better than Sun King Yuen curry in Spring garden lane. The curry itself is packed with fine grounded chili which can be seen in the sauce.
The satay sauce is the best sauce. It does not taste like the satay sauces found in general chinese places.
It is thick and rich, it dosnt have that sweet tone or curry tone, it is peanut butter based, that tastes like the Satay sauces served in UK, it matches the one at Stephen's take away in Willingdon.
The only thing I didnt like was the sesame, everything else was fine.

[Review 679] Some improvements @ Coyote Bar & Grill
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/improvements-made-e2068935
Coyote Bar & Grill 11/02/2010
灣仔駱克道114-120號嘉洛商業大廈
Gaylord Commercial Building,114-120 Lockhart Road, Wan Chai
Food was good as usual, the tea was improved this time after last time needing to put the teabag in separately.
In general all their starters, soups are good, especially the onion soup, lots of onions.
Their salads are very appetizing too, sometimes it will have citrus fruits such as orange, on other occasions it is baby spinach leaves in a strong lemoney dressing.
The sauces cupboard reminds me of Nando's peri peri chicken with hot sauces of various degrees.

As expected, the food was bland, so needed Soy sauce, they are better off at making cakes!~
I would have thought they used Maxims MX as a caterer, but it dosnt seem so.
However their soup was amazing, the spinach soup and the chowder soup, both were excellent

Spring garden lane, is a very busy road with narrow pavements, it is one of the streets to access Hopewell and the offices at Queens Road East. Not only is the pavement constantly a path for pedestrians the constricted road is also busy with cars too. It’s a fight between people and traffic.
As we all know [Easy drink easy go] is a popular shop for drinks, people will be willing to queue for it, which is bound to cause chaos on a small road like that.
Currently people are beginning to walk on the roads too, as the pavement can only fit one person in one direction, and especially if they are slow walkers, you just have to over take them!~!
Now [Easy drink easy go] is there, people will need to battle against other pedestrians to buy their drinks, and after paying for it, they will need to wait where waiting space is limited.
I can imagine the people waiting for drinks and people trying to get their drinks, pedestrians, cars are going to cause a huge hold up at Spring garden lane, just like a tiny blood clot causing a stroke!!
Anyway, I went there late evening to avoid the daytime madness, the drinks options is much bigger than when they first opened in Dundas Street, there are more options to add in the drink too.
They now have fruit tea too with bits of fruit in it. The items that can be added to the drinks are: big pearls, mini pearls, grass jelly, cheung fun (fat strands of chewy jelly), aiyu jelly, wheat, konjac jelly, crystal jelly, cream, mango cream, aloe vera, nata de coco, red beans, caramel pudding
For my drink, I got the hazelnut latte with extra cream and strands of jelly.
I did not know it was latte until I searched the Chinese for it, it didn’t taste of coffee, but strong in hazelnut. The extra cream just made it smoother, and it didn’t have that milk powder taste, the taste was very natural rather than artificial. Also the jelly strands were slightly chewier than I would have liked. The sweetness at 30% was slightly too sweet, but that is the least sweet you can ask for.
Degrees of sweetness they offer: 100%, 50%, 30% 0.
Apart from drinks they also do sweet dumplings: taro and sweet potato, and for savory snacks they have chips with plum powder, luckily I didn’t get the chips as it looked like a big portion, also they are potato wedges rather than proper chips.
As there was not many people, the service was very good, I added many things to my drink, which was too long to show up on their internal screen. The staff spotted that something was missing before she gave it to me, and fixed it before giving it to me. She was quite friendly and said my drink was rather expensive from adding lots of other things to it, anyway as long as it tastes good, it is worth paying extra.
It is also helpful that they displayed their drinks on the counter, people can see the different add ons you can have without having to ask.

[Review 676] Hidden Filipino food @ Fiesta Fiesta
Fiesta Fiesta 11/03/2010
西貢市場街25號
G/F, 25 See Cheung Street, Sai Kung, Sai Kung
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/hidden-philipino-food-e2068386
Another place I wanted to try a while ago, located near AJ’s Sri Lankan restaurant, this is a fairly small restaurant with 4-5 tables.
Ordered their breakfast and a Philippine dish.
The Philippine dish is the usual skewered meats with sweet sauce served with rice and diced vegetables. I think the diced vegetables are the frozen ones from the supermarket.
The breakfast was ok, however the sausages were not that hot, and the tomatoes still had their stalks on.
In general the food is ok, but they do not accept credit card, which is a bit of a nuisance as the nearest cash machines is quite a walk, and further if you are not a local.
Although the restaurant is set out as western cuisine, they actually specialize in Philippine food with a special page for Philippine food.
Price for the food there is reasonably cheap.

As Mandalay mentioned the savoury selection was impressive, for the sweet selection there was a variety of cakes, scones and freshly made waffles and pancakes.
The food was good, but their room freshener was awful, it had a nasty scent that put me off and made me dizzy.
Scones: nice little scones, plain and raisin, with cream and jam spread.
Sandwiches: smoked salmon, ham and cheese.
Mini buns: cute little buns with prawns, salami.
The rest I cant remember, however their service was a bit poor, frowning at people who do not have a platinum card.
The first reaction was then after presenting the platinum card the reaction was

[Review 674] Warukulicious @ Pasta De Waraku
Pasta De Waraku 08/03/2010

Shop 41, UG/F, City Walk, 1 Yeung Uk Road, Tsuen Wan
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/warukulicious-e2067916
This is one of those restaurants that taste good all the time.
Ordered two starters: deep fried cubic tofu, salmon carpaccio, grilled set.
Deep-fried cubic tofu: This was the best, because I was expecting a crunchy skin, and nothingness inside, but it amazed me because it was tasty and chewy inside, like cheese. The tofu used was “thousand layer tofu” (千葉豆腐, 凍豆腐 or 冰豆腐), not usually fried, but in this case, it worked out very well.
If the sauce was served separately it would have been better, as the sweet and sour sauce didn’t match it as well as the salt and pepper one.
Salmon carpaccio: The portion was small, but tasted ok, about 4 pieces of salmon.
The grilled set included onion soup and a drink, in the general it tasted good. The beef patty was very beefy in taste.
