https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/fun-as-always-with-lots-of-choices-e2199388
Came here because haven't been here for ages and to help someone forget their past because it was their favourite dining place.
The food is always good and fun here, great for gatherings where you can try out everything.
The menu is changed periodically so every time there is something different to try.
Anyway, as well as Japanese food they also serve Western food.
After ordering I did not realize that most of my choices were Western until someone pointed it out.
But anyway as long as it is delicious I am not bothered whether it is Japanese or Western.
██████████████████████████████
Ordered:
Crab and scallop croquette
Rolled omelette with Cod roe and cheese
Paella seafood pot rice
French fries
Cold tomato capellini
██████████████████████████████
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Crab and scallop croquette
A round ball with thin crispy bread crumb coating, the inside was filled with delicate cream, crab and scallop.
The sauce that came with it was similar to cocktail sauce but not that sour.
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Cod roe and cheese rolled omelette
This tasted better than I expected because the cod roe was not too rich.
The egg, roe and cheese went well together, the saltiness of the roe compensated for the blandness of the egg.
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Paella seafood pot rice
I did not realise it was a hotpot until it was brought to the table.
It was Paella cooked right in front of you.
The rice came with broth inside the pot, and once the water has all been absorbed, it is ready to eat.
Basically it tasted really nice except that it was too salty.
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
French fries
Similar to the fries at Apple green served in a metal bucket.
The tomato sauce tasted different, I think there was some MSG in it.
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Cold tomato capellini
This was refreshing for a hot day! Cold capellini in tomato sauce.
Pasta is usually served hot, but this was cold, just like cold Japanese noodles.
There was a nice mix of asparagus and aubergine in refreshing tangy tomato sauce.

[Review 1301] Sea grapes 海葡萄 @ Okinawa Route 58
07/10/2011
Okinawa Route 58
尖沙咀彌敦道100號The ONE LG1樓AEON MaxValu Prime
LG1/F, AEON MaxValu Prime,The ONE, 100 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/sea-grapes-%E6%B5%B7%E8%91%A1%E8%90%84-okinawa-route-58-e2199189
I have always wanted to try these Sea grapes, but the only place you can order them is at the restaurant.
I looked them up on Wiki but the pictures look so different, the ones on wiki are not transparent and look nothing like these.
Anyway they came with a little bottle of Sesame sauce which I had to use sparingly.
I do not usually like sesame sauce [not to be confused with sesame oil] but the Japanese version is different because it is slightly sour, the Chinese sesame sauce that is found in rolled rice rolls is just sweet and creamy.
The size of these sea grapes is about 2-3mm in diameter.
The lengths of these sea grapes are about 4-5cm.
Without the sauce they taste slightly salty, but with the sauce the sourness and the saltiness taste nice together.
It was quite fun to eat them, the tiny capsules pop with fluid.

[Review 1300] Foilicious Baked juicy chicken series that leaves you thirsty @ 肯德基家鄉雞 (KFC) Kentucky Fried Chicken

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/foilicious-juicy-chicken-that-leaves-you-thirsty-e2198687
I got the new Foilicious chicken which is chicken marinated with herbs, wrapped in foil and baked.
There is two pieces of chicken per portion which is fixed.
Anyway I got one to try and the foil pack was placed neatly in a plastic box with lid.
When I peeled the foil, I could smell the herbs and its appearance reminded me of roast chicken.
The herbs smelt like rosemary.
It would be good if they served roasted potatoes too then it would be a real roast dinner.
Not sure if I was lucky today, but the chicken was really soft and juicy.
But I will try it again in future to see if the juicyness is consistent.
As with all KFC, it is loaded with MSG which is guaranteed to leave you feeling thirsty.

[Review 1299] Softened chocolate egg tart @ 肯德基家鄉雞 (KFC) Kentucky Fried Chicken

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/softened-chocolate-egg-tart-kfc-e2198545
I got the softened chocolate egg tart, which is just the normal KFC Portuguese tart filled with soft chocolate beneath the egg filling.
The tart was baked nicely and not burnt, it had two chocolate chips on the top to distinguish it from the others.
As I only bought one, I was very impressed they put it in a box for me.
Overall tart was not too sweet and when you bite into it, you can see the chocolate filling at the bottom, the texture of that chocolate is similar to the egg tart filling.
After I finished eating the tart I realised I forgot to take a picture of the middle!! ><><><BUGGER~!!

[Review 1298] Super sour chocolates @ 龍島 Lucullus Gourmet Shop
03/10/2011
龍島 Lucullus Gourmet Shop
新蒲崗太子道東638號Mikiki地下1A號舖
Shop 1A, G/F, Mikiki, 638 Prince Edward Road East, San Po Kong
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/super-sour-chocolates-lucullus-e2198232
Went during the opening and they were giving out free chocolates.
The one I got was the super sour chocolate series.
Inside the chocolate was hard jelly and the chocolate outside is coated with extremely sour particles.
Overall the taste is quite sour as the name suggests.
The blackcurrant chocolate bomb had really nice iridescent dark/blue purple dusted powder on top which reminds me of eye shadow!

[Review 1297] Sausage Roll @ 太平洋咖啡 Pacific Coffee

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/sausage-roll-pacific-coffee-e2197749
Cant remember the price, but hopefully if I have a sausage roll craving again I will remember not to get it.
The one at Starbucks tastes better.
The sausage meat was a bit too firm and it didn't taste so fresh.
It tastes nothing like the ones in UK.

[Review 1296] Not as good as the Hung Hom branch @ 豪江豆業 Macau Soya Bean

Not as good as the Hung Hom branch
After trying the green pudding at HH, I decided to get one from Wan Chai because I loved the taste.
The texture and taste was no where as good as the HH one.
It was too sweet and soft.
If I had been here first, my first impression would be that these puddings are too sweet.
The pudding here was pre-wrapped in plastic and warm, whereas the one at HH had been made a while ago and was contained in a white bowl.
The colour of this one was jade green, the one at HH was mint green!
Previous review if you want to see the colour difference!
