As usual you can choose two choices with rice for $32 takeout.
This time they had fried fish so tried that.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fried fishes:

The fish was really nice but there were too many fine bones.
There were about four fishes in total because they were quite small.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Marinated chicken wings:


The chicken wings were dry and tough but the taste was ok.
It was rather oily and the chicken skin was quite fat.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Soup:
Tasteless

Felt like something sweet so decided to get some Double fudge brownies
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Double fudge brownies HKD14.5:

I was expecting these to be sweet however they were too sweet this time.
They were also cold as well because the cabinet had been chilled.

[Review 2095] Scrambled egg with prawns @ 喜喜冰室 The Match Box

Since my last visit, they now have another branch in Causeway Bay too.
A few blocks away from each other.
This was one of the few Chinese Cafes I used to go to before my sudden outburst of trying Chinese cafes lately.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Scrambled egg with prawns:

The scrambled egg here was delicious because it was like eggy gravy with pieces of prawns in it.
There were lots of spring onions which made it even more delicious.
It tasted good with or without soy sauce, but adding soy enhanced it a bit more.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
As for the price I found it expensive.

[Review 2094] Cheese Pontikeges @ 安妮麵包 Annie Bakery

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/cheese-pontikeges-annie-bakery-e2271810

After eating at God’s Restaurant I was attracted by these pontikeges, which looked quite big, so decided to go in and get some.
They had some other really interesting items such as the coconut tarts, which were immensely yellow.
The chicken burgers looked really delicious because the chicken patties were uniform and I liked how thin they were because they looked crispy.
The pineapple bun cakes were interesting too because they were pineapple buns made into cake form with a pineapple cake looking top.
Overall their items look quite inviting but they did not like people taking photographs of their food.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
cheese pontikeges:

The pontikeges were nice and chewy, the cheese taste was prominent, but I didn’t like the slight sweetness and the heavy butter taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
I want to come back for their chicken burgers but their attitude really discourages you to come back or maybe I will come back but not bother to write about it.

[Review 2093] Stir Fried pin noodles @ 金堡茶餐廳 Cambo Tea Restaurant

G/F, 154 Jaffe Road, Wan Chai
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/stir-fried-pin-noodles-cambo-tea-restaurant-e2271809

Chose this restaurant because they had the stir-fried silver pin noodles.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Stir fried silver pin noodles:

The noodles were nice and al-dente, not too salty or oily but the oil odour in the noodles were strong.
So if you like these type of noodles with that so called “wok hei” then you will like it.
"wok hei" is the smokey flavouring in the food as a result of being cooked in a wok, just like the charred taste you get from grilling, hard to explain but the "wok hei" taste is definitely not my cup of tea especially when some woks are not cleaned properly.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
black eyed bean soup :
The bean taste was faint and there was CFC odour in the soup from the CFC bowl.

Shop 1, G/F, 130-146 Jaffe Road,, Wan Chai

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Eel in black pepper sauce:

The rice was really soggy and the eel did not taste that fresh.
The black pepper sauce was too strong.
The eel had some bones in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Lemon tea:
The lemon tea was quite nice and the tea was not that bitter.

[Review 2091] Mixed Hong Kong style coffee and tea @ 蛋撻王 King Bakery

Out of all the King Bakery branches, this one looks the best and it is quite colourful as well.
They had the pandan cake so I went in to get it, as well as pandan, they had yuzu and marbled cake flavour.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pandan cake:

The cake was too sweet and oily and you could taste peanut oil as well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mixed Hong Kong style coffee and tea:

The drink which I did not have any expectations turned out to be the star.
I am not sure whether it was nice because it was chilled, but the drink was really smooth and tasted like chocolate coffee and you could not taste the bitterness of the tea.
To be honest, I got the drink because the bottle was nice!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The custard and red bean bun looks good too!
