It's Savoury Kitchen's one year anniversary!!
Savoury Kitchen specializes in Hunan cuisine which is extremely spicy.
Here was what we had.
Most of them were too spicy so all I can say is how spicy they were!!
(I have not translated any of the dish names because the names would be meaningless in English)
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
七里湘絲
This was 7 different sides to go with the omelette wrap.
Potato, starch noodles, vegetables, black fungas, etc.
All of the sides were spicy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Spicy crab
The crab was really nice, succulent, sweet and spicy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
永州血鴨
Duck in cooked in ducks blood.
This dish reminded me of Dinguan a Philipine pork dish cooked in blood.
However this dish was really spicy and it was mostly duck bones.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
干鍋肥腸

This was a dish of spicy Intestines.
(Did not try because I don't eat intestines.)
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beef with cumin on a sizzling metal plate
鐵板孜然牛肉
 0 讚好

This was my favourite because I love cumin, and there were finely chopped green beans which gave it a touch of sweetness that balanced the spiciness.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
酸辣魚片
 0 讚好

This was slices of fish cooked with spicy preserved vegetables.
It didn't look spicy but the preserved vegetables were extremely spicy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
梅雪爭香

This was steamed tofu topped with scallops.
Again, it was really spicy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
皮蛋拌青椒

This was preserved egg with green chili.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
毛氏紅燒肉

This was pork belly in rich gravy, the pork was nice and tender with even layers of fat.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
甜酒沖蛋

I loved the dessert because it was egg white with fermented rice.
Some people who also tried this dessert said the wine was not strong enough but I thought it was really fragrant and the sweetness was just right.

Attended foodpanda's launch and tried some sweet bites from Tai Tai Pie Pies.
There was Wholly Heaven peacan bites and Drunken Apple Crumble bites.
Both were as sweet as pie filled with delicious filling in a delicious crumbly pastry base.

Attended foodpanda's launch and tried bacon cheeseburgers from Caliburger.
They were neatly sliced and perfect for sharing.
The burgers were juicy with a meaty beef patty in the middle.

[Review 3536] Chocolate and banana mousse @ euro go go

The chocolate and banana mousse looked attractive so decided to try it.
As well as desserts, they have a corner selling biscuits, jams and sauces.
I would have got the pistachio cream but it was sold out.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chocolate and banana mousse:
The top layer of cream was thick and artificial, great for clogging arteries.
It was so artificial that it does not melt in your mouth and I feel sorry that my stomach acids have to do extra work to digest it.
Anyway, I only had a spoon of the top layer and went straight to the chocolate mousse and banana mousse.






The other layers fared better and did not taste so artificial, but also great for clogging arteries too.
The chocolate layer was thick with some slight gelatin added and the white layer was soft and fluffier with a hint of banana.
Overall, I don't recommended this dessert.

[Review 3535] Change of sausages @ 精伶吧 The Canny Man

This used to be my favourite place for bangers and chips but not anymore which is tragic because there is no other place that does good bangers and mash/chips.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
bangers and chips:


Before I started, I thought to myself perfect chips and bangers.
The Chips were perfectly done but the sausages that they served before have been changed to Cumberland sausages which are meatier.
There's nothing wrong with these sausages but I prefer the pork sausages.

Unfortunately another disappointment with the bangers and mash!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steak pie:
The steak pie was the only item that tasted good but it was a bit too salty.
The chips as you can see are burnt and the frying oil was old.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Bangers and mash:
The sausages were too salty and had too much offal and chewy bits in it.

A while ago you could only get Venchi chocolates from specialists shops like The Royal House in To Kwa Wan.
Now, there is a Venchi on Stanley Street, Central serving chocolate, coffees and gelato.

Quoted from the press release: “Founded in 1878, the secrets to Italian premium chocolate brand Venchi are fresh and quality natural ingredients, having developed over 250 unique flavors exuding truly Italian taste, including chocaviar, chocolate cigars, and chocolight series that is low in calories and has no added sugar.”
The shop offers “Pick & Mix”, where customers can pick their favorite chocolates to be measured by weight.
For diabetics, they have Venchi Chocolight which has no added sugar and low in calories as well as a gluten free range.

The creme brulee was my favourite because it had gooey sweet caramel in the middle.
The other too were rich with a heavy cocoa taste.
