The all you can eat here is surprisingly quite good, however the quality can be inconsistent.
The first round can be delicious so when you order it again, it can taste different.
The drinks and dessert selection was good too.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Thai sausage:

This was really delicious, they put lots of garlic and lemon juice in it.
Sometimes it can be spicy and the sausage they use varies.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Deep fried tofu:

Again, the tofu varies, sometimes it is nice and sometimes the tofu was not that fresh.
But the crispy tofu was delicious with the crispy bits of scallion and garlic.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Stir fried morning glory:

This was delicious when they used the young morning glory leaves and the miso beans they used made it nice and salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Coconut drink with tricolored pieces:

I do not really like coconut milk, but the tricolored pieces were nice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Green curry:

this was too spicy for me but they have other curries as well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Green papaya salad :

In general this is nice if it is not too spicy, it has those tiny crispy shrimps in it as well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Inmitation sharks fin soup:

This was unbelievably delicious and I loved the vegetarian sharks fins. There were chinese mushrooms in it too which gave it flavour,
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Roast chicken:

This was delicious too depending which part of the chicken they give you.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pumpkin pudding:

There were lots of puddings, this was my favourite, it was a real mini pumpkin with the middle scooped out and filled with custard filling, the coconut sauce they drizzled on top was lovely too.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pineapple juice:

Nice sweet pineapple juice to start breakfast
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Omelette, croissant, salad and beans:

Usually I pick toast but they had croissant so picked that.
It was not flakey but tasted ok.
The omelette style was not that nice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pancakes with bacon:

Basically the pancakes are nice and soft. I find it quite weird having it with savoury stuff but I had a craving for pancakes.
The bacon was quite lean and grilled till it was crispy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pancakes with grilled ham:

The grilled ham was nicer than the bacon, it was more satisfying.
The scrambled eggs was nice and fluffy.

[Review 1998] Cheese Omelette and chips @ Carnegies

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/cheese-omelette-and-chips-carnegies-e2268515

The menu here is catered for Westerners and Asians because for lunch there are a few choices, one is always Chinesey and the others are Western.

I saw the Omelette so that was what I was here for.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Salad:
The salad that day was quite Asian too, it was grated sweet ginger sauce which tasted qutie nice with the mesclan leaves.
The ginger sauce was not that hot.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cheese omelette:
This was delicious, the egg smelt really nice, in the middle it was filled with cheese.
It would have been great if they used cheddar cheese because the cheese was not strong enough.
The fries were delicious and there is a choice of normal fries or the shoestring type.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Braised beef and potato:
I am not a fan of Chinese food but I liked the potatoes and gravy. The gravy was quite gingery too.

[Review 1997] Blood curds and squids @ Dat Fat Restaurant 大發茶餐廳 (灣仔)

Had a craving for blood curds so came here and ordered that and rice between three people and after sharing the rice and the side dish was still hungry so ordered the squid and rice which turned out to be the best.

Nice old menu:

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Blood curds:

I love the blood curds here because they absorb the sauce.
It was very garlicky and slightly spicy because of the chili.
The only negative comment this time was that it was quite oily.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Morning glory with mixed items:

This was weird because it was stir-fried with seafood and there were pieces of pork stomach and other offal parts too so I did not eat much of this dish.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Squid and green peppers:

This was my favourite dish because the squid was really tender and it was cut in the right way.
There was lots of squid in it too. However it was slightly too salty.

[Review 1996] Customer svc & attitude really makes a difference @ 多多吃站-鹵味牛什王 Dor Dor Eatery Station

I came back here because I really liked their skewers and last time the lady was really patient.
Ordered the pork intestines and squid tentacles.
The lady this time was different and really irritating, she tried to get to buy the turkey gizzards but I didnt want it, then she over charged me.
I asked why the price was different to the one listed on the banner and she said it was an old one.

I was expecting the snacks to be on skewers but she put them in a bowl so she could charge me more as the bowl could hold more.
Anyway, on my next visit I will make sure it is not her before I order.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pork intestines:
They were not cleaned out properly hence there was a strange smell.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Octopus tentacles:
The taste was not as good as the first time, the tentacles were chewy and she put more soy sauce this time.

[Review 1995] Spam and fried egg @ Old Place 老地坊 (灣仔)

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/spam-and-fried-egg-old-place-e2268508

Apart from their hot and sour noodles, the other dishes are Ok in my opinion.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fried egg and spam with rice:

Last time had the steak because I didnt see the spam and fried egg combination, so this time got the spam.
The spam was slighty crispy on the edges and tasted quite nice because it was not really salty of fatty.
The egg was tender with a runny yolk and complimented the rice nicely with the soy sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sichuan style chicken with pickled vegetables:

Although the dish was quite watery, the salty taste from the pickled vegetables were quite nice.
The spicyness of this was intense.
If it was not so hot, it would have been better.
It came with vegetable rice which seemed healthy.

[Review 1994] Attractive sashimi rice in a cute box @ Mitaki

A while ago I saw people carrying these really nice boxes with Japanese food in it but I did not know which joint it came from.

Finally found it the other day but when I ordered they did not have enough rice so they stopped taking orders.

Went back again another day and managed to order the rice with squid, prawns and fish roe.

There were lots of choices which range from $58-$78 per box.

While I was there I saw this huge wooden tub for the rice.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
rice with squid, prawns and fish roe:



When I collected my order the box was really nice.
I thought it was a plastic box in a cardboard box but it had cardboard on the outside making it sturdier.
I ate the rice, squid, prawns and fish roe without the soy sauce or wasabi because it was not tasteless.
The rice was not plain rice, they put pieces of mushroom and tiny sakura shrimps which gave the rice more taste.


cute sakura shrimp infrt of a shrimp
As a standard, all the rices come with pickled ginger, radish and two pieces of crabmeat.
The prawns were really sweet and had the heads attached. There were four prawns in total.
The squid was chewier than expected and it was not sliced properly because the squid was still in one piece.
In the product picture the squid was sliced into many pieces.
If it had been sliced properly then the taste would have been nicer because the sakura shrimps and fish roe would have mixed in better just like the product shot.
Anyway it was delicious and I finished it all.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Improvements:
The rice should be loosened up more before putting it into the box and the squid should be sliced properly because it was not sliced right through.
