The food here was so delicious I had to come back and try the other items and an excuse to go to Hoi Kee Walnut dessert shop because the branch at MK is not as good.

Xiamen style stir fried vermicelli
I ordered this because it is different to the the Xiamen noodles served at Chinese Cafes. The ones served at Chinese cafes have ketchup and taste sweet.
The vermicelli was delicious, there were pieces of egg in it which was similar to the stir fried noodles served in the Chinese takeaways in UK.
There were pieces of julienne carrots which balanced out the savourness and the eggy taste.

Sweet taro croquettes
Last time I tried the savory taro croquettes with meat inside, this time I ordered the sweet version.
The shape looks like a slim croquette.
I tried them piping hot and I tried them when they cooled down.
They tasted better cooled down because the texture was like mochi and the outside was delicate and crispy just like the edges of a meringue.

Xiamen style spring roll
Ordered this by accident because I thought it was the fried one.
It was the other spring roll version which was wrapped by thin pastry with fillings.
Initially I did not think it would taste nice because I tried something similar at this Singapore restaurant.
The fillings in this were so delicious and warm, there were lots of vegetables, and there were even dried oysters too which gave it a nice marine taste and deep fried crispy vegetables too.

Noodle omelette
This was similar to the stir fried vermicelli but it was an egg cooked in a pan with noodles cooked on the top, so there is an egg base at the bottom and on top it is noodles.
There were delicious dried shrimps in the noodles which gave it some extra depth and the surface of the noodles were crispy.

Xiamen style deep fried miniature wontons
This time tried the fried version and they were also delicious, they were delicately crunchy and the inside filling was delicious pork.
It came with chili sauce which tastes like tomato ketchup with chili.

Xiamen style octopus
Ordered this again because I did not get to eat the head last time.
The head is the most delicious part but the tentacles were not bad.
Although it doesnt look good on the photo it was lovely and creamy.
Actually this dish was the best and I wouldn't mind having it all to myself.
