[Review 975] Food @ 薄餅博士 PHD

Not sure if this is a subsidiary of Pizza Hut, but there is a big sign pointing to Pizza hut, however it turns out to be the PHD!
Even on my printed credit card receipt where I signed, it also said Pizza hut.

PHD is not a doctorate, but a pizza joint that specialises in pizza take-outs and deliveries.

I did not order pizza on my first visit, but rice, snacks and pudding.

I was attracted by the rice, because it was rice with tofu, cheese sauce and seafood.
Not many places put tofu and cheese together, as well as that I ordered chicken rings,
because I liked them since trying them at Pierce chicken.

The dough in porcini sauce was also ordered because they seemed interesting,
and lastly the tofu pudding was something that I wanted to try as well.

Tofu and cheese seafood rice:
This was quite a big portion, however the amount of sauce and rice was not that good, there was about 15% sauce, tofu, seafood, and the rest was rice, so there was not enough of it to go with the rice.

Chicken rings:
Tasted the same as the ones at pierce, but not so crunchy.

Dough Rolls with Porcini Sauce:
this was dissappointig and dry, it was dough rolled with onions, sweetcorn and mushroom, no sauce.

Hokkaido Milk Tofu Pudding:
This had tofu taste, the topping was slightly different to the product picture, it was cocoa powder instead of biscuit crumbs.
The texture was creamy with gelatin firmess.

Usually the joints that open here, come and go very fast, not many can keep running such as tofulism.

Previously this shop sold dimsum which I thought was doing well, but still packed up, hence I hesitate motivating myself to get Openrice to list these joints.

I ate here in September last year, and it is now still open, so I guess the food is reasonable.

Now its finally listed, I can give it a review.

The noodles I had were the Korean style Jah Jeung with the rich dark sauce, although the noodles were not the authenic ramen, but instant noodles, I preferred it here as opposed to the Korean restaurant at TST alleyway.

[Review 973] Tofu that can be played with!! @ 津味雲吞麵 Jun Wei Wanton Noodles

The place I wanted to eat had temporarily stopped producing the item I wanted to eat, so was drawn here by the skewers of tofu on the corner of their mini fast food counter outside the shop.
The tofu skewers reminded me of the gourmet fried tofu with prawn patty at Cheung chau, so I decided to go in for them.
As soon as I sat down, I had the same experience as nyankoburger they asked what I wanted without giving me a chance at looking at the menu.

Quoted from nyankoburger "店員一坐底就即克問你食乜,連餐牌都未see……
前前後後又問左4·5次,真系好煩" http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/commentdetail.htm?commentid=2127847

Since the waitress didn’t give me a menu, I moved to another table where there was a menu, anyway I couldn’t find anywhere on the menu listing those tofu skewers or the instant noodles featured on their poster.
The arrangement was so inconvenient, items were not all on the menu and you had to get up or turn your back to see what was available from the posters on the wall.

Anyway ordered the instant noodles with spicy sauce (jah jeung) and the tofu skewers, the tofu arrived first. NOTE: $17 is only for plain noodles!! For toppings on the list shown, it is an extra $6.

The tofu was very different to what I was expecting, it was reheated in water, and not fried.
This was the entertainment of the day, I assumed it was pieces of tofu on the skewer, but when I took the skewer out, I found out it was one Single piece of tofu that had been scored criss-cut style.
To my amazement, I picked it up with a pair of chopsticks to see how long it would stretch before breaking!!!
This was very cheap $3 only!!
Overall the taste of it was just like normal tofu, not too greasy.
The noodles came shortly after, it looked so different to the product picture.
The sauce was EXTREMELY spicy, it contained grounded chillies, the similar type you get for kimchi, as a matter of fact they have a lot of dishes with Kimchi even though it is serving chinese cuisine.

The soup was weird, it was peppery, and in the soup, I found a piece of white carrot, seaweed and Siraitia grosvenorii (lore horn guor 羅漢果 ).
lore horn guo in msg soup!
On the way out, I was greeted by this totally alien switch with alien writing to press some button for the door to open!!!
Usually doors have automatic sensors or user-friendly door pushes, but this one was totally out of this world.
I didn’t expect to take so many pictures at this place, as I was expecting crap.
While I was taking pictures of the tofu outside, I saw that the ones on the right were slightly different, so I got one to try, it was meant to be fish tofu, she put the skewer in with the fishballs to heat them up.
After a while, she took them out and handed them to me, and they were COLD!!!
But that was not as irritating as finding sharp pieces of grounded fishbone in it, considering I am not a cat! I ate the first one swallowing some grounded bone pieces, thinking the second one probably doesn’t contain them, but I was wrong, I was pierced by a sharp fish bone in my gum.
Luckily it was the front of my mouth, and not the back, or I wouldn’t know how to get it out!
There were more pieces of bone in my mouth too, which I had to get out, so for health and safety reasons I decided to give it to the dustbin, perhaps it would have enjoyed it more.

[Review 972] Paella inspired Fried Rice @ 必勝客 Pizza Hut

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/localised-spanish-fried-rice-e2145152




Initially I wasnt going to write this review because the menu bored me.
In the end, I ordered the Spanish fried fried or so called paella from the boring menu.
It was presented nicely with lots of herbs, it was slightly spicy, and I saw bits of dried shrimps and scallions which was obviously XO sauce.
Anyway, the drinks were good.
The apple and berry fizz and the creamy ribena punch were weirdly named champagne which doesn't make sense.

The apple fizz was nice and light, and the fresh strawberries were sweet.
The creamy ribena punch was also fizzy with a creaminess to it.

[Review 971] 1000cc winter melon tea @ 水研社茶品專賣店 Drink Tea

Was attracted by the massive bottle, so got it.
There were three choices, I got the winter melon tea which cost $16.
I requested for a not so sweet version, but they insisted giving me full sweetness and I could dilute it if necessary, so I guess I got more than 1000cc worth, since it was too sweet, and dilution was needed.
Overall, wintermelon tasted like Pandan, it was made from wintermelon syrup and diluted infront of me.

[Review 970] Paper cardboard restaurant @ 西龍纤味 Slim Taste

I came to this restaurant because of its interior, from seating to ceiling, it is made of corrugated cardboard.

Interestingly, 90% of the customers were female, and there were only a few guys in the whole restaurant~!

This restaurant is part of a group that owns QQ Rice, 39 degrees bakery and Peking hand noodles.

After dining here, I have finally dined in all three above.

Slim Taste used to have another branch in Sheung Wan, however the interior was not as good and unfortunately it went out of business.

The food here is basically the same as Peking hand noodles, they all served noodles, rice and snacks.

The ganoderma lucidem mushroom rice I ordered was so delicious, it was not greasy, and it tasted like home cooked fried rice.
There was pieces of diced mushrooms and scrambled egg whites, and it was not too salty.
