During the winter, this Juice bar serves hot Chinese soup.

The logo and decor is quite attractive with white fonts and sliced fruits that represent the DOTS.
Ordered the Freshly blended Strawberry and apple juice.

They tried to recommend the Asian Pear and strawberry but I do not like Asian pears so I stuck to my choice.

Apple and strawberry juice:

The colour of this blended juice was quite nice, it was redder than my expectation.
They CLAIM that it is unsweetened but you can actually taste syrup in it.
Despite the fact they claim it is unsweetened, they still put a tiny amount so that it does not taste so sour in the bid that the customers will come back.
Overall the taste was quite nice but I did not like the artificial sweetness.

Next time I will probably try the blueberry and apple or another combination.

Bubbly mint truffle egg:
I was purely attracted by the green mint packaging and because it was bubbly chocolate.
It tasted similar to the mint aero but this one was mintier and sweeter.

Scottish mackerel pate:

~smooth pate with soft cheese and a hint of horseradish~
This is my favourite spread for bread so I got it, it was creamy with lots of grounded mackerel.
The taste of soft cheese was light and the horseradish acted as pepper and balanced out the fishy taste of the mackerel.

Prawn burger:
Came back for the prawn burger.
The prawn patty was coated in breadcrumbs, layered with lettuce and drizzled with ketchup.
The bun was delicious with crispy sesame seeds on top.

Overall the prawn burger was nice but the prawn patty did not have much taste.

Lemonade HKD18:
The product shot for this looked refreshing and summery so I got it.
I was worried it was going to be really sweet but it turned out to be the opposite!
It was really sour and the lemon taste was really artificial.

[Review 2327] At the green iconic market @ THE MARKET

THE MARKET

2/F, Hotel ICON, 17 Science Museum Road, Tsim Sha Tsui
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/at-the-green-iconic-market-e2288651

The decor and interior of this place reminded me to Hotel Elan, it had style and promotes greenness!
They have the hotel name boldly incorporated on a dining table which can be seen from above.
I have always wanted to try this place for their buffets but it is not near the MTR station.

The name THE MARKET is rather unusual, The Market to me is a place with stalls of vegetables, fishes etc at bricklane.

The buffet here was quite good especially the Chicken tikka, Indian curries and rice.

The puddings were served in cute egg cups, my favourite was the honeydew melon jelly but it was slightly too sweet.

Came back for more Rickshaw noodles
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Rickshaw noodles:

As usual I chose vermicelli and tried the marinated quail eggs.
The quail eggs tasted like the packaged ones.
The vermicelli was soft but the broth was not as strong as my previous visit.

We dined here because our foodie friend wanted to try the Chocolate rain tea set.

Before we ordered, it was promising to see the tea set that was on the other table next to us had four huge red strawberries (dosnt show 4 strawberries on the photo but I saw four whole strawberries).

However when ours arrived it was two strawberries sliced in half and they argued that they serve strawberries by weight when evidently the other table had much bigger strawberries and whole strawberries too.

The taste of the strawberries were nice and sweet.
The texture of the strawberries were much firmer than the usual ones.

We also ordered other stuff, but since we did not get the full portion of strawberries, my review is only featuring half of what we had!
Please refer to the product shot on the Chinese review below and it shows WHOLE strawberries!
