Came here for a gathering, a nice place but noisy.
I only tried the chips because the rest of the items were Chinese style Western items such as pastas and steaks.
The chips were good because you can't go wrong with them if they are fried just right.
In this case, I loved their chips, golden yellow, crispy on the outside and soft inside.
The chips came with ketchup but salt and vinegar with chips is just as good.

[Review 2798] Creamy tomato sauce @ 榮光飲食中心 Wing Kwong Food Centre

Came here randomly because there were not many customers.
There were sets for $40 which I felt were a bit over priced.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken steak and frankfurter in tomato sauce :
It was the usual frozen chicken steaks and frankfurters thrown in a pan and fried with tomato sauce plonked on top.
The chicken steak was surprisingly juicy but tasteless, but the tomato sauce was quite nice because it tastes like cream of tomato soup.

Chinese food again!
Not really my favourite so I was not going to review this place but I might as well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beef and apple:
0 讚好
A weird combination of apples and beef.
The beef was tender but quite salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sea cucumber and brocoli:
0 讚好
The sea cucumber was nicely flavoured with oyster sauce but not soft enough.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steamed frogs legs:
The frogs legs were the best because it was delicate, but this dish was quite oily.

[Review 2796] Scrumptious pies any day any time @ Tai Tai Pie Pies
02/09/2013
Tai Tai Pie Pies
金鐘金鐘道88號太古廣場二期LG1樓Great Food Hall
Great Food Hall, LG1/F, Two Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Admiralty
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/scrumptious-pies-any-day-any-time-e2317933
I have always wanted to get pies from TaiTaiPiePies but never made it to their popup stalls at the markets.
Previously I tried their pecan pies when they did a joint venture with Secret Ingredients and Blue Smoke for Thanksgiving.
I was so glad to see them at Great supermarket and try other flavours which I could not get my hands on before.
However, there are still some flavours I would like to see such as: Spinach Pignoli Nut Quiche, Asparagus Cheddary Quiche, Cheese & Onion Quiche, B3P (Big British Breakfast Pie), Country Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie, Coconut Dreams Cream Pie, Prosciutto Wrapped Figilicious Pie.
Their online ordering did not work for me because they only did the family sized pies but here you can get bite sized ones.
The pies here are all cold and refrigerated when you buy them so you need to reheat them when you get home.
All the pies are cooked right through so theoretically if you don't heat it up properly you will not get food poisoning.
They have an oven to reheat the pies if you should need it.
Basically they had savoury pies and sweet pies.
I was surprised to see Asian flavours: Three Cup Chicken Pie, The Hong Kong Beef Curry Pie, The Hong Kong Chicken Curry Pie, P10, Perfect 10 Vegetarian Hong Kong Curry Pie.
Although I do not like Chinese food, the tastes of the Asian Flavours probably taste good because TTPP pies are delicious.
After placing my order, they packed the pies in the bag and all I had to do was take them to the counter and pay.
It shows that they trust their customers and make life easy for them!!!
Most retail stalls will not give you your goods until you present the receipt.
Let's hope no one abuses this system by running away with some delicious TTPP's!!
In the box, there are some clear heating instructions.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The Ultimate Cottage Beef Pie:
I was really glad I got the cottage beef pie, it had chunks of sweet suede in it and the mash on top was delicious and dreamy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Drunken Apple Crumble:
The alcoholic taste wasn't very strong but still a decent apple crumble.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Wholly Heavens Chocolate Sin Pecan:
The pecan chocolate pie was lovely and gooey with thick but not cloyingly sweet chocolate!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Wholly Heavens Pecan:
The pecan pie was also delicious and I am sure anyone would like it, the sweetness was just right with lovely pecan nuts and chewy filling on a delicious butter shortcrust.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fishalicious Pie:
The pepper taste was a bit too strong for my liking because it was stronger than the fish.
But I liked the peas and carrots in it giving a balance to the spicy pepper taste and the pieces of fish.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tart Cherry Sweet Crumble Pie:
This was my favourite, deliciously buttery crumbs on top with tart cherries on the bottom.

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/my-moment-for-food-e2317923
After my unsuccessful visit to 滄浪亭 Tsong long ting nearby I decided to go to Moments.hk Food Station 無休站 because there was still food I have not tried yet.
The shopping mall is currently undergoing renovations hence there is a lot of drilling and dusty air about.
I think it is fates idea that I can't dine at Tsong Long Ting because when I went to their Tsuen Wan branch it was closed, then at the Mei Foo branch, they decided to temporarily stop the air con at the mall on the day way I went so Tsong Long Ting was closed.
Since my last visit, they have more choice of sauces for their noodles and they have crispy noodles as well!
I regretted not getting the noodles because I won't be in Mei Foo again.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
(new sauces: vinaigrette, spicy stirfry)
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Crispy noodles
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
I was quite impressed with their fried items because I was expecting oily food but none of them were oily because they were cooked in an AirFryer.
The items are not submerged in oil, but are laid on a metal pan and the top will occaisionally light up red.
The AirFryer looks a bit like a UFO when it is in operation.
Saw some attractive posters for macaroni cheese, chicken kiev with ham and cheese and the Shanghai pie which I got!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Deep fried macaroni cheese:
The product shot and the real thing looks quite different but the real thing looks the same as the macaroni and cheese I had before.
The taste was much nicer because it was not that oily with soft macaroni inside.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken kiev with chicken and ham:
The chicken kiev was neatly held in a paper bag.
It tasted quite nice with melted cheese in the middle but the chicken that was used in this kiev was processed chicken.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Shanghai pie:
Again it looked different to the product shot which shows a puff pastry.
The pie was actually a piece of Taiwanese roti/pancake with cheese spread in the middle and heated up.
It was delicious and non oily.

Made my way here after having crappy food nearby.
Since my last visit, they have redecorated the cafe, it still has its retro style but the rusty mirrors have now been replaced by new shiny mirrors.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
pasta in tomato sauce with luncheon meat:
Ordered the pasta in tomato sauce with luncheon meat.
It is slightly different to the "saam bo" which has chicken, egg and ham tossed in the spaghetti.
The luncheon meat was not tossed in put on top of the pasta.
Nevertheless, the taste was amazing because the tomato sauce was tangy and rich.
The pasta was delicious because the sauce was evenly tossed on every strand.
The tomato sauce was so moreish and the taste was not too tangy or sweet with rich tomato taste.
Each strand of spaghetti was firm and the texture was similar to freshly made pasta with a doughy texture. The chicken, ham and egg added more taste and chew to it balancing out the thick tomato sauce.
Anyway, on my next visit, I must remember to order the macaroni in tomato sauce.

Came here obviously to see the huskies, ie Ar B, SASA and SHABI.
All three of them were not there, however there were other dogs owned by the customers so it was pointless to take photos of them and post them here.
As for the food it was boring and the drinks were the worst because you could only take one sip because it is highly recommended for people who would like to get diabetes or want to put on weight.
The drinks selection was rather limited, it was just milkshakes, sodas and iced smoothies, you could tell they were going to sweet without ordering them which was why I opted for the hot water with lemon thinking the sugar would be separate.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
hot water with lemon:
Usually this is served with sugar separately but here they have put half a cup of syrup in this!
It was too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mash:
watery potato mash made with potato mash powder.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
This was not my first time going to a cafe with dogs or cats because Purple Mind cafe does really good pastas and they have friendly dogs there too.
At purple cafe, the dogs were well trained and do not piss or defecate in the cafe.
It was very boring because Ar B, SASA and SHABI were not there but it was entertaining to watch other dogs piss and defecate there.
The female staff were ok, but the guy was not that friendly.
