This place was cramped and noisy but the pasta sets were ok.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pasta:

The pasta they used was tagliatelle and it was al-dente. The tomato sauce was nice and tangy.
The onions were nice but they could have been sliced into smaller pieces.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chocolate milkshake:

The chocolate milkshake was watery and did not have much milk. The chocolate taste was quite strong however it was too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pineapple and passionfruit smoothie:

The sweetness was just right, but the pineapple and passionfruit flavouring was artificial.

[Review 2080] Chicken leg in black pepper gravy for $22 @ 美利茶廳 Mei Lee

The takeaways here are dirt cheap and fast which cost $22 per box!
If I am going to buy Chinese food which I expect to be disappointing I might as well go for the cheaper ones and have less disappointment so I went for the $22 box today!
All their food is cooked and boxed ready in a pile so they just pack it in bags and they are ready to go.
The appearance of this shop was quite old and inside it looked grey and gloomy.
However if they redecorated it, I doubt the food would be this cheap.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken leg in black pepper sauce:
 When you see chicken leg on the menu, it is quite good because in general Chinese people prefer chicken leg meat, but for takeaways they are so hard to eat with chopsticks.
The gravy was delicious. It is similar to the gravy at the KFC's in other countries and the black pepper was not too strong.

soup:

floating fat pieces in da soup
I didnt really know what soup it was but there was lots of fat floating about.

This restaurant is located on Jaffe Road.
I never stopped by before because it was too much effort, there were too many people on this road, let alone traffic and second hand smoke.

Finally tried it for the sake of trying it!

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Roast pork belly and BBQ pork:

The taste is better than it looks because I thought the BBQ pork looked too lean and dry, but it was quite soft.
The roast taste was just right and not too salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Soup:

Chinese soup again! But it was quite funny that I found an intact pigs trotter in the soup.

[Review 2078]White fish curry @ 沙嗲城 Satay City

Although the food here is good, it takes ages and they do not seem to like takeaway orders because everytime I get it there is sauce everywhere from outside the box to the bag!

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
White fish curry:



The sauce is really delicious and tastes the same as the sauce at Satay King.
Basically you can choose chicken, pork or fish curry and they just put the curry sauce in the box and add the meat that you order.
This time I chose fish.
The fish was really nice, soft and boneless.
There was lots of spring onions on top of the fish as garnishing.
The curry sauce was really delicious with the rice but it was quite fattening.

I have not tried this place before so decided to try it.
Ordered the BBQ pork with duck and rice HKD25 each.
I asked for ginger and onion sauce but the guy was reluctant to give it.
As for the portion size it was not that generous if you compare it to other stalls at the same price.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
BBQ Pork:
The BBQ pork was actually quite nice, it was not sweet and the pork was lean but not tough.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Roast duck:
The duck on the other hand was dry.

I thought this joint would be fast and easy, ie choose what you want from the cabinet, pay for it and go.
So I chose the fried chicken drumstick because I saw the box there.

But after I ordered I had to wait for the chicken leg to be fried.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken leg with rice:

I was surprised the rice had sauce on top, it was brightly coloured orange sauce which was tasteless.
The chicken fared better, it had crispy skin and juicy meat.
However it was difficult to enjoy the meal with wooden chopsticks and a plastic spoon.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Soup:
 0 讚好

I often forget and neglect the soup. The soup here was quite nice.
The taste of dried squid in the soup was strong but there was also some slight PFC taste too from the PFC bowl.

I am surprised that only one shop is listed on OpenRice when there are four branches, two in Tseung Kwan O, one in Lai Chi Kok and one in Kwun Tong according to the bag!

Anyway, saw this big bowl of ark clams, so decided to get one as I was craving for this metallic taste.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Ark clam (akagai):

I love blood clams but they always give me severe poisoning, so the I got the ark clam because it tastes similar and hope I do not get food poisoning from it.
The taste was really nice, the metallic taste was strong.
The texture was slightly crisp.
