Had a craving for prawn dumplings and this place happened to have it when I walked past so decided to go in for it.
This joint has another branch in Yuen Long which is quite a different location to Tai Hang.
I had forgotten about those usual habits such as washing chopsticks and cups until the staff placed a set of utensils with water to clean them.
I suppose it was good because Chinese tea was not compulsory but it only costs $3 for a pot of tea which was good.
While I was browsing the menu found out they had sharks fin dumpling so ordered that as well.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Prawn dumplings
I thought there would be four per steamer but there was only three.
Anyway the filling was nice but I did not like the dumpling skin, it was too elastic and chewy, the same type they use for Chiuchow style dumplings.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sharks fin dumplings
This was really nice but there was a weird taste to it which I got rid of by adding Worcester sauce.

As it took me a while to add this restaurant on the OpenRice database, I am going to make this review brief
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Vegetables:
This is stir fried lettuce with fried dace, it was really nice and not oily at all.
The saltiness was just right.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tofu:
Crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Chicken:
Not sure what this was, but it reminded me of Chop Suey that is spicy.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[Review 1674] Steamed dumplings with grass jelly drink @ 冰讚

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/steamed-dumplings-with-grass-jelly-drink-%E5%86%B0%E8%AE%9A-e2246736
Previously came here for dessert but now they have more options for lunch.
I was surprised to find out they have another joint near Brim 28.
Anyway they have extended their opening hours too.
The steamed dumplings looked good so I tried that, there are three types and I chose the seafood one.
The dumplings tasted really nice but they were steamed for too long because the dumpling skin broke every time you picked it up and the fillings fell out.
The filling were really nice, it had scrambled egg and prawns and the filling was filled with so much juice due to the steaming.
There was a sachet of vinegar with ginger sauce for the dumplings too which made it more appetizing.
The dumplings came with a can of grass jelly drink which was good because it was not the boring Lemon Teas or HK beverages.
I found it too sweet but after diluting it the drink was really nice.

[Review 1673] Vegetarian dim sum @ 恭和堂 Kung Wo Tong

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/vegetarian-dim-sum-kung-wo-tong-e2246735
This tiny shop is well camouflaged on Hennessey Road but really stands out when you find it because of the white interior and the bright lights.
I didnt expect to get anything from there because I couldnt be bothered to study the drink choices but then I noticed a cabinet with steamed food inside.
On a closer look, the shao mai looked different and the dumplings were smaller in size too so I asked what was in the dumplings and they said all the steamed items in the cabinet were Vegetarian dim sums which was great!
No smelly pork and fat in the Shaomai! Great!
I ordered the shaomai and dumplings which were neatly boxed to take away and they were really cheap too.
The total came to $24.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dumplings
The dumpling skin was really thick and dry, inside the dumplings were glass noodles, black fungas and it tasted quite grassy and gingery hence chili sauce or soy sauce is desperately needed.
From the photos you can see they have tried to make the dumplings healthy by using grounded wheat in the dumpling skin.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ShaoMai
The ShaoMai tasted the best, it tastes like processed soy pieces used in Vegetarian dishes.
If there was sauce for it then it would have tasted perfect.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Overall the vegetarian dimsums were nice but I felt that I should have been given some chili sauce or soy sauce because the ShaoMai was dry and the Dumplings were bland.
They also had steamed buns and leaf wrapped Zhongzhi.

[Review 1672] Chili pomodoro sauce x Pineapple punch @ 麥當勞 McDonald's

Shop 216, 2/F, Sheung Tak Shopping Centre, Tseung Kwan O
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/chili-pomodoro-sauce-x-pineapple-punch-mcds-e2246375
The new chili pomodoro sauce for the nuggets was launched so went there to try it.
This year the sauces are better, at least there are two that are not repeats: Chili pomodoro and BBQ chipotle.
Tried the pomodoro sauce and the new pineapple punch drink.
This is a negative review because of the chicken nuggets which I shall explain later.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Chili pomodoro sauce
I really loved this sauce and it was slightly spicy, there was herbs and onions in it as well although it is not listed on the ingredients list.
I can't wait until the chipotle one comes out!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Chicken nuggets
First I thought they were over done because they looked so dark, but after pressing them on tissue I realised it was old oil that made the nuggets dark.
You can see the oil is not fresh (ie the oil has deteriorated) by the colour of the oil against the white tissue!
If it was fresh oil it should have been a lighter colour.
The taste was not that pleasant so I had to dip more sauce.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Pineapple punch
The pineapple taste was rather artificial.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hot soy green tea
I have never tried the hot version of this drink so tried it.
I was really impressed because when you drink it, the foam and the soy tea gets mixed together and it makes the drink silky with fine bubbly foam.
Because it was hot the taste of soy milk was faint but the green tea was stronger.
However it was slightly too sweet!

[Review 1671] The crouching Kitteness of TinHa Village @ 三姐海鮮飯店 Kitty's Kitchen

三姐海鮮飯店 Kitty's Kitchen
將軍澳田下灣村34號地下
G/F, 34 Ha Wan Village, Tseung Kwan O
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/the-crouching-kitteness-of-tinha-village-e2246368
This restaurant is easy to locate if you know where the hospital is!
However if you approach the village from the hospital/roundabout end it is locked and it looks scary.
But anyway, walk along that road and you will see an MTR sign pointing to the footbridge and that is where it is located.
When I entered the village, there was a dog which was scary because the village ones are usually fierce.
I walked slowly and cautiously but luckily this one just laid there!
Oh dear! A dog!
hope it dosnt bite!
It even looked to the camera for a picture!
Close up!!
After passing the dog, and stepping in this restaurant, I was greeted by this woman with such a warm smile!
Initially I thought it was Kitty, but it was not her.
Although she had that sales smile it was not that irritating, but later her actions proved to be salesy.
I came here especially for the noodles in sesame sauce which is not always available, so I asked her if it was available today and she said it was available, so I said I would like to order that, she immediately passed the order to the kitchen. She felt that I was going to leave if I couldn't find anything else on the menu that I wanted, but there were two other dishes I was going to order as well.
There was also steamed flower crab in HuaDiao which I wanted to try but could not find on the menu.
Finally found the other two items on the menu and ordered it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Noodles in sesame sauce (crystal noodles)
This is not always available and I could not find it on the menu.
Although it looks really heavy, the taste and texture was so light.
This dish was bliss, I do not like sweet food but I liked it because of the sweetness.
The noodles were made from the meat of young coconut that is scraped out carefully so that it is in noodle form and mixed with delicious sesame sauce with the refreshing balance of tomato pieces.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Squid patty with vegetables
The Chinese name for this was interesting because you wouldn't know it is a patty unless you have read the reviews.
The patty texture was so soft and light and the coating was fried just right but it didn't seem to have any vegetables like the other photos.
The sauce was a bit too strong but still nice.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Vegetables in soup with dried prawns
This dish was lovely and healthy with lots of vegetables and generous soup that had no MSG!!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Rice
I didnt know the cost per bowl but the rice was slightly yellow.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After the food was finished, this was the first time I felt she was salesy as she told me the egg white dessert was really good and asked me to try, but when I asked if it was complimentary, she didn't answer which was quite funny, but overall the food and service was ok.
The air conditioning was annoying, it was too cold so the food went cold fast.

Ordered the curry with dumplings, the rice and curry always taste the same because it is pre-made, however the dumplings were not crispy today and soggy.
The pork inside had bits of soft bones and fat.
