After the last hot dog I was already craving for another, so went for another one and had the eggs benedict as well.
This time I tried the Piri Miso dog which has grated radish, miso sauce and seaweed.
I asked for the spring onions instead of the seaweed.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Piri Miso Hot dog - $28
The miso sauce was darker than the Ponzu sauce and the hot dog bun was crispier this time.
Again I really liked this hot dog and the hot dogs I have tried at Juicy J's because they are the best fusion hot dogs I have ever tried because of the sauce, bun, grated radish and spring onions.
MOS Burger and Freshness burger also have hot dogs but they do not taste as good as the ones here and it is just Japanese Mayo.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
J's Eggs benedict $48
This was a set for $48 which was really reasonable in terms of price.
It was a muffin split into two each with a poached egg on top with Hollandaise sauce.
There was fried potato wedges and salad to accompany it.
I was really surprised because the Hollandaise sauce was thick and the taste was how it should be, the quality was as good as The Flying Pan.
I felt the muffin was too crispy that day, but the eggs were poached just right with a runny centre.
I really loved the sauce and wish there was more Hollandaise sauce!
The potato wedges were really nice too and the oil was fresh so the wedges kept the potatoey taste and the flavoured coating on the wedges were extremely delicious.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tea:
The set came with tea which was also impressive because there was a choice of English breakfast tea, Earl Grey, Jasmine, green tea with lemon.

It was a perfect finish to my eggs and benedict with some real proper tea!
The tea was served in a proper way too, the tea bag was immersed in boiling hot water and milk and sugar were given as well.

Tried a sweet crepe this time and the crepe mixture was different to the savoury one.
I ordered the Raspberry jam crepe HKD15 and asked for extra cream as well.
The cream was freshly whipped by the owner.
Again, I really liked it because the crepe was fresh and hot.

[Review 1573] Grilled tender baby squids @ Camden Town

After having fish and chips on an earlier visit, decided to get the squids which cost HKD45 this time as a snack.
Took some pictures of the kitchen side which resembles a British fish and chip shop.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The squids were served in a cup for takeaway which was quite cute.
The taste of the squids were really nice and they were not too chewy or dry.
There was some sweetness from the sauce and their griller was clean so there was no foul rancid oil fumes.

[Review 1572] Oysters cooked in spring onions and garlic @ 名舫酒家 Famous Restaurant

Only came here because the locals wanted some Chinese food.

I had no expectations for this place and did not know what to expect because I did not check any reviews before coming here.

Anyway ordered quite a lot of stuff because there were many people but I am only bothering to write a few because the rest were just typical Chinese food such as chicken and steamed fish.
The fish was nice but the oil ruined the natrual taste of the fish.
The vegetables had a choice of sauce so I chose prawn paste and the waitress said nobody has Chinese lettuce (yau muck choi) with prawn paste!
But if you have been to TAI O, they actually have a dish which is Chinese lettuce in Prawn paste sauce.

I also thought it was a bit stupid because if there is a choice for the sauce then you should be able to choose it.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Oysters cooked in spring onions and garlic:
I have always wanted to try this dish but the places I went did not offer it.
The oysters tasted really nice and how I expected them to taste.
They were big and plump and did not shrivel up in the cooking.
Although these are not freshly shucked oysters they still had a fresh taste.
The spring onions and ginger were deep fried giving the oyster plenty of flavour, and the oysters were coated in corn flour and fried so the edges of the oyster was and nice and crispy due to the flour yet the inside was still soft.
The corn flour coating was really good because the thick sauce from the spring onion and ginger stuck to it giving the oyster a really good flavour.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Lobster with noodles in Cheese sauce:
The lobster actually had meat, which was good unlike other restaurants that cut it irregularly that there is no meat.
The dish was best eaten hot because after a while the cheese got sticky and tasted heavy.
Overall I quite liked it because the cheese sauce was generous and not too much milk was used it in.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Chinese Tea:
The tea was mega strong, as you can see the teapot was filled nearly to the top with tea leaves.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THAILAND spelt THALAND!

[Review 1571] Sichuan chilled noodles @ ReD fOrEsT 紅樹林甜品

The Sichuan noodles were only $18 so gave them a try and ordered extra chive dumplings as well.

The noodles can be spicy or non spicy so I ordered the non spicy version.

When it arrived it the noodles were in soup.
They had given me the wrong noodles so they politely took it back and exchanged it.

When the correct one arrived it looked almost the same as the product shot.
The noodles were yellow and there was lots of coriander, peanuts, beanshoots and pickled vegetables in it.
Although the noodles are served as cold noodles, I thought they would be at room temperature or warm because the ones I tried at Prince Edward were warm however the ones here were chilled.

The sauce was slightly too salty with lots of MSG but despite that it was really nice.
The sichuan peppercorns were not that strong and the sesame paste sauce could have been stronger too.
But I suppose for a location that is away from the city the noodles surpassed my expectations.
As for the dumplings they tasted quite nice and were blanched just right because the chives tasted good!

[Review 1570] Sichuan chicken (hau sui gae) @ 嚐點

Haven’t been here for ages because I have tried most of the items on the menu.
But now they have sichuan chicken (hau sui gae) which I do not know the English name for but I cant make up a name for it because it will sound ridiculous because it would be called saliva chicken!!
The display they have on the table does not look good but I decided to try it anyway.
The chicken comes with brown rice which I find quite heavy because the sauce for the chicken is quite heavy.
As usual the portion of rice is big!!
The picture shows a chicken leg, but I have tried both the chicken leg and breast, however the chicken is really tough in both cases, so the chicken must be old or it is a free-range chicken.
If the chicken could be slightly more tender and served with plain rice it would have been perfect because the sauce was delicious.

There was lots of Sichuan peppercorns in the sauce which gives you the same tingling sensation mint does.
As well as that there was lots of spring onions, crushed peanuts and beanshoots.
The sauce was really rich because there was lots of sesame paste sauce which was really sweet and it balanced the spicyness of the sichuan peppercorns.

Lastly, the soy milk is a good drink to finish it off with because it soothed the tingling sensation.

[Review 1569] Quesadilla with Chicken @ KFC 肯德基家鄉雞

I have always wanted to try the Quesadilla with chicken but it was only offered during breakfast and tea times.
Luckily they now offer it a la carte now for $8.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
They had self-service hot water, which was really good because it will not hold up queues for people who just want some water.
The only disadvantage is that non-paying patrons could pretend they have bought a drink there and take up the tables.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Quesadilla with chicken:
The Quesadilla was really small, it was a half a Quesadilla filled with melted cheese, diced onions, green peppers, spring onions and chicken.
I loved the chicken in cheese sauce and the diced onions were really nice too because they were crispy and there were other things such as green peppers and spring onions that made it taste nice.
I wished this was permanently on the menu.
