Although the previous review on the pasta here was negative I came here especially for the Pasta!
It was quite interesting to see pasta on the menu in a Chinese cafe.
For the pasta, it is basically a multitude of combinations.
First you need to choose the sauce
: cream or tomato.
Secondly, there are three ingredients to pick from the choice of five, namely: ham, mushroom, tuna, clams, sausage.
Then finally, you pick your pasta from a choice of: fusilli, angel hair, spinach fettuccine or Penne.
I tried the same combination of spinach fettuccine cooked with tuna, clams and mushrooms cooked in cream sauce and tomato sauce.
Both were not bad, however the one in cream sauce was slightly too creamy, but after adding pepper and salt it made it better.
The tomato one was also good too.
On the side of the table, there were compartments with condiments, the best one was Sesame oil!
Not many places will have sachets of sesame oil for you to use freely.
Similar to adding Olive oil to pasta, I added sesame oil to my pasta for fun, and it tasted quite nice.
One of the waiters here was also interesting, he himself was a very tidy and clean fella, his uniform was pure white and spotless.
He was probably in his late 50s but took pride in his appearance as well as keeping the tables neat and tidy!

[Review 1381] BBQ pork mini puffs @ Pie & Tart Specialists 批&撻專門店

Tried the mini puffs which costs $10 for four.
They were quite Asian because they were topped with sesame.
Anyway, I didn't like it because the pastry was too buttery and the BBQ filling was too sweet.

Usually I order the goose breast but this time I just ordered goose with rice.
It tastes Ok, but goose breast is lean and healthier.
The goose this time was too oily and fatty.

[Review 1379] New menu and prices increased @ 昌發泰國粉麵屋 Cheong Fat Thai Food

Since my last visit, the menu has changed,
It used to be a piece of card that was laminated.
The new menu has improved in terms of layout and it now has English.
However the prices have slightly gone up.
I think it used to cost $23 for a bowl of noodles and now it costs $26.
I ordered the boat noodles and it was as good as before, however it was slightly spicy.
The first time I tried it, it was not spicy at all.

[Review 1378] Braised beef brisket noodles @ 太興新世代 (將軍澳) Tai Hing New Century

Made the mistake of eating Chinese food again.
Anyway this time came here for lunch because the locals only ate Chinese.
Ordered the steamed pork patty with salted fish and the braised beef brisket with e-fu noodles.
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
steamed pork patty with salted fish
It was so salty. I know Salted fish is meant to be salty but pork itself was oversalted.
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
braised beef brisket with e-fu noodles
I think I made the wrong choice as well ordering this.
Since e-fu noodles are fried before they are packaged it reeked of oil, and it absorbed the gamey smell of the beef.
The real thing was not as good as the product shot, the sauce was not even visible.

[Review 1377] Sicilian meatball and spaghetti pasta @ 必勝客 Pizza Hut

This was not on the delivery menu before so decided to try it.
It costs $62 which qualifies for delivery.
It tasted better than I expected, the sauce for the pasta was rich tomato sauce infused with basil.
It has a tangier taste than the bolognaise sauce.
It also tastes like Heinz tinned spaghetti, but the texture of spaghetti is not as mushy as the tinned one.
As for the meatballs I liked them as well, they were soft, and it tasted like the Italian sausage meat use in their supreme pizza.

[Review 1376] Strawberry Cliff starring Eason Chan and Haggis craving @ 精伶吧 The Canny Man

Had another craving for Haggis so thought of The Canny Man.
The trailer for Strawberry cliff starring Eason Chan reinforced it even more because The Canny Man was one of the filming locations.
The whole film is in English, so for expats and ABC/BBC/CBC's who like Eason, they will be able to understand it.
Anyway I ordered the Sample of Haggis and it was two scoops if swede and the haggis was served on a bed of mash.
It tasted as good as before, especially the gravy and swede, however the portion size has been reduced because on my previous visit there were three scoops of my favourite swede.
