Nice elegant packaging that contains orange butter cookies inside the rolled cardboard tin.

Each cookie is thin in thickness, however its texture is like a cross between a shortbread and a cookie, less of a crunch.

The cookie contains alot of orange peel in it, and has a jaffa taste rather than citrus flavouring which complements the buttery flavour.

On the aftertaste, there was a slight mintyness to it.

Other cookie flavours include all butter hazelnut, chocolate, lemon, breakfast, oat and cranberry, strawberry and cream, white chocolate and raspberry, shortbread.
Although not all the flavours may be available in HK.

Was given them, not that I would buy the traditional types, but anyway gave it a try.

Nice packaging, and the size was appropriate.

The finishing to the mooncake was good, the imprints to the pastry were clear and gave a clean cut from the knife.

As a vegetarian mooncake, it was less greasy, so it wins over the other traditional ones,
and it was not cloyingly sweet either.
Even though it is not something I like, but there were a few good points for this mooncake.

Walked past and saw this neat joint for noodles, so I picked up a flyer, inside the shop it was quite small, which probably seats about 10 people.

Later I checked it out on OpenRice and found out it was a new shop that opened recently.

I was attracted to it because the joint seemed quite neat, and offers noodles in their home made recipe sauce.
It costs $27 for a bowl of noodles with three toppings and a free drink for take-outs.

I was expecting alot of sauce according to the first review, but there wasn’t much from my picture.
The picture shows the noodles after it was mixed with the sauce.

The first reviewer also commented the shiitake mushrooms were good too, so tried that.

To be honest, the toppings were disappointing, and the noodles were ok.
I mixed the noodles as instructed from the first review, but there wasn’t much, the sauce tasted strong of sesame oil.

The octopus rolls were basically the same ones as the ones you get from the snacks section at convenient stores, but they were tasteless.
The mushroom werent as nice as the first reviewer said.
The chicken gizzards also tasted off and reeked of pork, same with the soft pork bone tendons.
Infact all the topping were boiled in the same broth giving it that weird taste.

I think next time I will just order plain noodles since the sauce is ok, but hopefully the sauce will be more visible.

On my second revisit, ordered the noodles with chicken and the red beancurd vegetables.

The noodles tasted nice as expected, however the sauce was definitely needed, especially the ginger and spring onion and their homemade chili sauce with dried shrimps in it.

The red beancurd vegetables was definitely nice, the sauce was creamy.

The service was ok that day, as the head chef was there after having an interview there.

[Review 867] @ Nice Japanese food @ 大戶屋 Ootoya

I have been here numerous times, and the food is consistently good, however there are less choices than before.

The fried chicken in black vinegar is superb, the chicken remains crispy, and the vinegar is refreshing.
The big side of finely chopped cabbage balances out the meal with an intake of vegetables.
The other vegetables with the chicken match as well, such at the lotus roots, and sweet potato.

For the rice, I opted for the seaweed rice, there are many other rices that all taste good too such as the rice with yam, and rice with tiny fishes.

Got the new noodles with spicy beef tendons.

The beef tendon was quite big, but not as spicy as the name suggested, there was a slight sour taste to it.
The tendon could have been softer, as it was slight firmer in the middle.

Apart from the beef tendon, the noodles contain beanshoots, seaweed, and spring onion.

[Review 865] Cheap chinese food

Although it seems to be Taiwanese food, but the stuff on the menu seems to be Chinese.

Anyway, I do not really like chinese food, but the sets are really cheap for around 4x you get a drink, soup, a main dish with rice and dessert.

The chicken dish fared slightly better than other places, mainly because there were no brittle bones in it, and there was lot of pieces of chicken.
The tofu dish was huge, but tasteless after eating the chicken.

Finally the dessert, was a bit like sweet congee, however if it was less sweet, it would taste nicer.
