Came with some friends to try their pasta sets with the Doraemon theme.
To be honest I am not a fan of Doraemon and the first time I encountered Doraemon and Hello Kitty
characters were at China Town!
Basically there are four different type of pastas that you can choose from, after you have selected the pasta you then have to choose the Doraemon or Doraemi character that is put on the thinly sliced egg.
For the Doraemon and Doraemi characters you can choose bell pepper or seaweed powder because the character is sprinkled on the egg. Bell pepper is red in colour and seaweed is green.
Since all the pasta sets have a piece of toast, a portion of pasta, half a kiwi, some butter and a cherry tomato they have used a white dish to distinguish whether the character is Doraemon or Doraemi.
The Doraemon character has the white dish on the plate which holds the butter and cherry tomato and Doraemi does not.
The four different pastas were: Carbonara, Napolitana Japanese style, Mushroom spaghetti and Mentaiko spaghetti.
We ordered all four flavours.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Carbonara:
The pasta sauce was rather milky
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Napolitana Japanese style:
It tasted very strong of smoked bacon so if you like bacon you would like this.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mushroom spaghetti:
I felt that the sauce was extremely bland and they used canned mushrooms.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mentaiko spaghetti:
I felt that this tasted the best but the spaghetti was not hot enough.
The mentaiko was slightly spicy and the mentaiko was slightly salty which gave the pasta flavour.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Toast that comes with the pasta:
The toast could have been better because the texture was just like normal toast when there should have been more layers in the bread.
The toasts were inconsistent because some you could see the characters clearly and some you could not.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Egg white:
Initially I thought it was cheese but it turned out to be egg. It was intriguing how they cooked the egg white. The egg white was bland but the powder was flavoured so it was easier to taste the seaweed powder.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Honey icecream with toast:
On the menu it said Honey icecream however when it was brought over it was not honey icecream.
The toast tasted better for the dessert and the quality of the toast was better, it had more layers like a croissant.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Doraemon plates:
I wonder how they will dispose of them when the Doraemon theme is over?
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
After finishing the pasta and the extra dessert we ordered, we paid and left, however on the way out we noticed the Tiramisu being brought out to other tables and realised we should have got one as well, so we asked if our sets included it and he said yes, so we sat down again for the final dessert.
Doraemon tiramisu:
It did not taste like authentic Tiramisu but it was nice, the cookie was very buttery.

[Review 1815] Delicious loyal food fit for expats and royals @ 來佬餐館 Loyal Dining

Came here because of the all you can eat dim sum promotion.
After I tried this place I also dined at Loong Toh Yuen which also did the All you can eat dim sum as well but at a higher price.
Compared to Loong Toh Yuen, it is more expensive at LTY but there are more choices there which are traditional dim sum items that you would find in dim sum restaurants but at a better quality.
I liked the concept of Loyal Dining and their website is pretty good too as they have the menu online.
I was surprised with their Christmas dinner menu which had christmas pudding and their deluxe item foie gras and BBQ pork from their takeaway menu.
The interior reminded me of St Louis Steak house and Tai Ping Koon where the furnishings are quite pre-war style.
They offer Western food which is properly Western!
The waiters there wear the nostalgic bow ties and burgandy suits.
In general the food comes quite fast after ordering but the dim sum quality is slightly inconsistent for some items.
The good thing about the ordering here is that for some items such as dumplings and buns you can order the number of pieces you want and not by portion.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Shrimp and crab roe dumpling:
Tasted how it should the pork was not that fatty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Spinach dumpling:
This was green and filled with spinach, the dumpling skin was the chewy type.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steamed dumpling with peanuts and minced pork:
This was the same as the spinach dumpling but filled with pork and peanuts and the shape was slightly different.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Panfried pork dumpling:
Compared to other restaurants the taste of this was not bad.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Panfried pepper and Chinese chives dumpling:
The filling inside this was quite peppery with lots of chives.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steamed sponge cake:
The sponge cake was nice and soft.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Minced beef balls on beancurd sheets:
I do not usually like these but these were not oily which was good and there was a strong taste of dried fruit peel
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Prawn dumplings:
These were my favourite and the size was slightly smaller than the average dumpling and the skin was taut and al dente.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Vegetarian dumpling with bamboo piths:
This dumpling was very moist and filled with bamboo piths and shiitake mushrooms.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Scallop and shrimp dumping:
This was as good as the prawn dumpling except the skin was softer.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steamed vegetable dumpling:
This was nice because the dumpling skin was different and not made from glutinous rice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Prawn Spring rolls:
Slightly oily
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Deep fried Bean curd rolls:
Slightly oily
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
White radish cake:
Tasted OK
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
BBQ pork bun:
OK, and you can order theses in singles.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steamed glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaf:
Tasted OK
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Vegetarian rice rolls:
Too oily
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beef rice rolls:
The rice roll was really nice because it was al-dente.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
BBQ pork rice rolls:
This was the best because it contained real fresh pieces of BBQ pork and when you break the roll in two the filling does not fall out.
The soy sauce was served separate so you could put the desired amount.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Spare ribs in black bean sauce:
This was quite nice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
chicken feet in black bean sauce:
The chicken feet were hard on the first order but were softer on the second batch.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Stir fried noodles:
The noodles were nice and not too salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Custard puffs:
These were my favourite but the quality varies.

Saw people eating these glistening rice rolls from this place so decided to get some.
Previously they only served deep fried snacks and fast food but now they have dim sum too.
For my rice rolls I only had soy sauce and sweet sauce with it.
However they put too much sweet sauce and it ended up too sweet.
I was surprised the texture of the rice rolls was really nice, some of the rice rolls got dehydrated so it ended up quite chewy which is not meant to be good, but I thought it was quite nice.

For beef lovers there are lots of choices for beef and veggie lovers the vegetables are self service at the bar which great.
But time is pressed because you can only dine there for a certain period and the orders come fairly slow.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beef:
The beef was fairly fresh and not fatty.
There was a lot of choices for vegetables so that was good and the broth was quite nice and it was lovely and clear before we started!
The sauces available were quite good which enhanced the meat and vegetables.

Was a bit peckish so ordered the triple satay delights.
It had fishballs, squid and ox tripe.
It was good the satay sauce was put on the top and not mixed into it.
The satay sauce is darker compared to satay sauces at other noodle joints.
The squid was blanched just right and not too chewy and the satay sauce was fairly strong especially the peanut.
Next time I will try their noodles.

After my previous visit for the hotdogs I saw the toasts with fish cutlet so I had to try that as well.
However the review for it was not good because it said the fish filet was thin which was what attracted me to get it.
Anyway on my last review I forgot to take pictures of their receipt system that they give you after you have paid.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Toasted fish sandwich:
Although the fish was thin, I liked it thin because the proportion of toast, fish and breadcrumb coating was even.
The fish filet was tender and juicy and it tasted nice with the sauce that they used for the hotdogs.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Toast chicken sandwich:
The chicken sandwich did not taste as good as the fish because it was just grilled chicken and it was slightly tough and dry.

I have always wanted to check this place out but there is no menu at the front of the restaurant and you cannot see what is inside which makes it even mysterious!
Hence explains why there are so many celebrities dining there.
When I attempted to dine there it was hard getting a table because it was always fully booked even on a Monday!
Finally got a table but the place where I sat did not have those cute tiny crabs but it wasn't a bad seat because there was a celebrity sitting opposite.
When you enter the restaurant there is tank of crabs and you have to enter another door into the restaurant.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Crab roe paste:
The crab roe paste was lovely and thick and its unami taste was strong.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tempura:
Hokkaido egg tempura (front)
The tempura platter contained a tempura egg yolk which was my favourite, it was still molten inside and the exterior of the egg yolk was light and crispy.
As well as the yolk there was a crab claw, but the crab taste was not that strong.
The crab perilla leaf dumpling was better though it had tasty crabmeat inside.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Ginger ice cream:

To finish off there was ginger ice cream and the sweetness was just right, it had pieces of ginger in it and the texture of the icecream was nice and smooth.
