For lunch they have their dishes on display and in the morning it looks quite different.
They will put their sandwiches out on display and their counter is in front of the shop so you do not need to step in the shop.
I think they get most of their business during breakfast and less during lunch as they only have limited lunch sets.

Ham and egg sandwich:
Overall the sandwich was quite nice but the egg was quite thin.
The ham had obviously been pan-fried which is weird.
In UK people do not put ham on the frying pan.
If they used butter instead of margarine it would have been perfect.

Many thanks to a pretty Foodie friend for buying this lovely Rose gateau from Joel Robuchon to celebrate our Birthday girls and boys gathering!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
La Rose:

The cake was decorated with a real rose petal on top, gold foil jelly and fresh raspberries.
The taste of rose was really delicate with hints of rose.
The cake was like mousse which was very light and dreamy.

Every time I go to the carnivals at LKF I am always attracted by the huge flasks for beer and the female figure shaped ones but since I do not drink alcohol I never got one.

This year they had the Nordic breeze at Lux which is a cocktail of pineapple juice, cranberry juice, apple and lime.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Nordic breeze:
The cocktail was pre-mixed and poured in with ice cubes.
Then it was topped with freshly diced apples.
The drink was really nice and not syrupy and it was refreshing.
The pineapple taste was the strongest.
For $40 it was extremely worth it and fun drinking from that.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
It costs $40 per yard.
The height of the glass was approximately a yard which contains approximately 1.4 litres (2.5 imperials

[Review 2021] Sakura Japanese world serenity in Sai Kung @ 櫻 Sakura

Stumbled across this private Japanese restaurant after having dinner. It is located above a Japanese shop selling Japanese items.

Last time I was at this shop, the shopkeeper did not mention there was a private restaurant above so I never found out about it.

Anyway, they had a variety of desserts so I just went in for desserts.

The décor was quite nice, I had the same feeling as I walked into Revolution because it was quite different to other restaurants and I had already dreamt of dining in a restaurant like this so it was a bit weird.

There were basically five desserts on the menu: Milk pudding, tofu pudding, coffee jelly, caramel pudding and Fuji apple jelly.



I was tempted to try the apple jelly but I had a feeling it would taste artificial so I got the coffee jelly and milk pudding.
After I had the two puddings I decided to get the tofu pudding as well because I was too lazy to dine here again.

The desserts reminded me of the desserts at Wasakuraya in Happy Valley.

Apart from desserts they had rice sets and sashimi.

 Although this place is listed on OpenRice as Sakura, it is actually Yaezakura and the Chinese name is Baatchungfa.
When you sit down, they give you a pot of wheat tea which they say is good for you.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Milk pudding:

The milk pudding was really smooth and the sweetness was just right.
The appearance of it was lumpy, most probably because the surface of the mold was lumpy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
UCC coffee jelly:

The coffee jelly on its own without adding cream or syrup was really bitter.
It tasted exactly like black coffee made into jelly. The jelly was the firm type.
The tiny metal jug of cream was really cute and after mixing the cream and syrup the coffee jelly tasted nice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tofu pudding:



The tofu pudding was the best, the texture was interesting, it dissolved into liquid when you put it in your mouth.
I tried it without adding the black sugar syrup and it was savoury. I also tried the syrup and it was really nice too.

[Review 2020] Custard puffs @ 櫻島麵包餅店 Sakurashima Bakery

Shop B, G/F, 55 Wanchai Road, Wan Chai
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/custard-puffs-sakurashima-bakery-e2269672







The custard puffs looked good at Sakirashima bakery when I walked past so came back another day to get them.
There were only two remaining so I just got one.
The custard puffs were only $3.5 each and were kept in a chilled cabinet.

The custard inside the puff was really silky just like creme brulee. Since it was chilled the custard puffs were refreshing to eat with cool custard oozing out.

The sweetness was just right too and the puff was not too buttery.

I am now tempted to try the chocolate cream puff!

[Review 2019] 咪阻住! get out of my way! I want my fries wiv cheeze @ 龍鳳冰室 Lung Fung Cafe

I found this place last week but as I was just finishing a scoop of ice cream, I was too full for more food so decided to try it another time.

As you know I do not really like Chinese food. This Cafe serves the typical sets eg scrambled egg, toasts etc so unless the egg tastes really good I do not usually bother trying.

When I saw the reviews, it was the typical cafe I assumed it was because it had photos of scrambled eggs and pasta.

However the more recent reviews had fries with cheese so that was the only thing I came here for and because it was opened by a local actor Jazz Lam.

They also had chilled abalone slices on the menu and meringue souffle mountain which I would want to order as well because it differentiated them from other cafes.

I really wanted to try the meringue souffle mountain but it is served after 9.30opm.

For the noodles sets you can choose the typical spaghetti or instant noodles, but as well as that they had Nongshims Shun Ramyun (sunlaatmin 農心辛辣麵) as a choice too!
It was really good because Jazz was actually there. It was interesting seeing peoples reactions and how they want to take a photo with him but are too embarrassed to ask.

Jazz was there to take my order so I ordered the chips with cheese and the set as well since I was there.

The set came first because it takes a while to bake the chips, while I was waiting Jazz asked if I would like any water so I said Yes, then he said hot or cold so I said warm.
Anyway he brought over the water which was sweet.
The funny thing was the water was really sweet because the staff put syrup in it accidentally so he got me another cup which he said might be salty LOL.

But anyway that was a sweet and funny experience!

The fork and spoon were interesting as well, the fork was longer than the spoon.

Da spoon is shorter than the fork
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pasta set:

The set had chicken wings, ham, pasta, scrambled eggs and toast.
It tasted how it should.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Baked fries with cheese:

I was really surprised by this because the quality of the chips were quite good, they were still crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside after they were baked.
The frying oil was fresh as well so the chips tasted really nice. The chips were sprinkled with salt and some spices and it was spotted with cheese rather than smothered with melted cheese on top.
If there was more cheese it would be even better.
The cheese that got burnt on top was even more delicious with the spices that they used.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
When I left they had made a meringue souffle mountain for display and they even had professional lighting for it too!
I like the way they have put berries on the surface of the meringue souffle. I really wanted to eat that meringue souffle!!

I am not an expert with German food but my knowledge of German food was sausages and all the different sauces you can order such as curry sauce and tomato sauce that go with the bockwurst and the strudel cakes during German lessons.

However in Hong Kong, they seem to associate the pork knuckle with German food.

Anyway the buffet at King Ludwig Beerhall was perfect, I could try a little of something.
I did not expect a lot of native German food but at least there was the pork knuckle and sauerkraut vegetables.

Basically when you sit down, they will put down a plate of freshly done pork knuckles which are delicious.
The skin is crispy and slightly salty and the meat inside is delicious and of course the sauerkraut vegetables which balance out the heavyness of the pork knuckles.

As well as that there were other delicious items such as the sausages, dublin prawns, freshly melted cheese on toast.
