Great steaks delivered to your door!
2013-09-04  12 瀏覽
Just got some great A4 grading Wagyu Sirloin and huge Hokkaido scallops (Sashimi grade) from Wagyu Door To Door.
It came neatly packed in a box with ice packs, cooking instructions and some scrumptious Himalayan salt.

The steak was neatly packed in a vacuumed sealed pack which was clearly labelled with its weight and what type of steak it was.

It came with clear instructions that show you how to defrost and cook the steak.

Lovely fat marbling patterns:

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
After it was cooked, the steak tasted really delicious and soft because of the even fat marbling.

After adding the Himalayan Salt, it enhanced the taste of the steak even more.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The sashimi grade scallops were huge.

After defrosting them, I sliced them and also put some Himalayan salt on it and they tasted great just like other salts that they put on scallop sashimi such as Green tea salt, curry salt etc.

There is a good range of beef ranging from US and Japanese with A2 and A4 grading.
As well as beef they also offer lamb, tiger prawns and sauces.

Thanks to Paul Lafayet for inviting me to their Macaron making experience partnered with X-Box.

We were taught how to make macarons by mixing the ingredients to making the macarons using the piping bag.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
After the event, we were given a box of "burst of delicious colour for the summer" macarons to take away.

The flavours included in the box were:

Lychee: (pink white)
Passion Fruit: (poppy seed)
Banana Balsamic: (yellow brown)
Lemon mint: (yellow green)
Yuzu: (yellow with green brushed pattern)
Mango passionfruit (Orange).
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
At the event there were cakes to try:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Strawberry tarts:

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Matcha cremoso

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chocolate craquelin

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Vanilla mille feuille

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cheesecakes

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The matcha cremoso was lovely and velvety with a strong green tea taste and the strawberry tart had a lovely chewy piece of macaron in the middle.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Limited edition X-Box macarons:

The macarons were coloured green and silver to match the event.
The silver one was earl grey which was really fragrant and the green one was yuzu which we drew on it with icing sugar.

Previously I tried the Esarn sausages which were really nice sausages because they contained vinegar, glass noodles and pieces of meat

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Esarn sausages:

It did not taste as nice as before because there were lots of fatty pork in it and pieces of pork head which I did not like.
It had a strong taste and was quite appetizing because of the vinegar.

[Review 2800] Bright orange Chiu chow style squid slices @ 潮豐粉麵茶餐廳

Came here for some Chiu Chow style food.
Heres one of the dishes we had.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Squid combo:

I only ate the squid which had a nice springy texture.
It was not too salty or oily because some places are much oilier.
There was not much sauce because most of it was absorbed by the squid and it had a very bright orange colour.

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.

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.
