Black eye bean mochi HKD5:


The glutinous rice mochi was stuck to a piece of lotus leaf with a black eye bean stuck to the top of it.
The mochi pastry was made from glutinous rice and flour, however I did not like it because it was slightly sweet, the black eye bean filling was delicious because it was in puree form and extremely silky.
There was lots of five spice powder in it.

Saw these cute looking items and when I got closer, it was labeled cookie cheesecakes but I think they meant cookie cheese cups because it says cup in Chinese.
They are quite small.
Felt a bit peckish so decided to try one.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cookie cheese cups:

Basically they taste like the egg tarts with the shortcrust pastry filled with cake and cheese mixed together.
The taste was really nice and tastes nothing like a cookie.
The cheese was slightly sour mimicking the real cheesecake taste and it was not heavy at all.
The top of these cheese cups looks really similar to a real cheesecake!

Decided to get some snacks from this place.

Small beef intestines HKD19:

The mustard sauce was delicious as usual however the small intestines here were slightly disappointing because it did not absorb the sauces that it was marinated in.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beef offal:

This little bowl of offal was surprisingly nice because there spices were strong and they were soft.
The lungs had a grainy velvety texture and the stomach was nice and soft.

Although their food was not that good I still wanted to try their dessert.

Steamed pandan cake:

This was quite nice and tasted like the steamed buns with a hint of pandan and egg yolk in between the layers.
There were six pieces in the box.
The sweetness was just right and the cake was really fragrant.

On my last visit, I had the pastas which were very good for Chinese style restaurant.
This time I tried their Chinese food.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Squid and pork patty:

When it arrived, it was quite cool how the patty had been flattened out to spread on the dish!
The pork patty was lovely and tender and the pieces of squid made it really delicious, and the spring onions on top balanced out the fattyness of the pork patty.

Beef curry:

The beef curry was nice and strong and the amount of beef in it was generous.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Stir fried kale:

I did not like this much because the kale vegetables were not cut, so they were quite difficult to eat.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Stir fried goose intestines in XO sauce:



This was quite nice however the goose intestines were really chewy.
They tasted like chewy squid.

Although this place is famous for curry, I tried their pork chop with tomato sauce today.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pork chop with tomato sauce:
The pork chop was nice and soft, there was a decent amount of pork chop after the bones and fat.
The pork tomato and tomato sauce were quite nice together and it tasted a better combination than chicken and tomato sauce because the pork had a stronger taste.
