Nice little joint
2014-08-31 916 瀏覽
This joint has been here for about a year but when they initially started there was only quiche on the menu.
The choices have got better so decided to give it a try.

They sell these gorgeous Nicepops which have slightly melted and refrozen again so I didn't buy them.

The scones were rather tiny and oddly shaped for $18.
To be honest they looked like coconut macaroons.

The slices of apple pie next to the scones were quite small too for $45.

There were not much prawns in the sandwich, although the cocktail sauce was quite nice.

Croque monsieur:

The croque monsieur was quite good because the mustard sauce made it taste good but I wish they put proper ham into it because the ham they used was hard and rubbery.

[Review 3627] Water of life @ 泰景食堂 Tai King Restaurant

I am quite surprised this little joint is listed.
Anyway, I only dined here because I wanted a drink, water was what I really wanted.
Sat down and ordered some Fish shaomai and hot lemon water because it was the closest drink I could get to water.
The shaomai was the usual fare with a high percentage of flour and a fishy taste.
Then when I was taking photos I saw a plastic jug of water with cups.
As I did not finish the lemon water drink, the staff there were really nice and asked me if I wanted it to take it away.

My favourite place for food but unfortunately I was not allowed to take photos.
So its their loss not mine because there are no photos on this review!
Previously i have taken photos at the Kinswick branch with no problem at all and the WanChai branch, but one of the staff was anal and thought she was doing a good job for them.
Basically, the food you order here can be bought from their Frozen foods section.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
victoria sponge:
Delcious soft cake with a buttery taste with sweet jam and creamy buttercream in the middle.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
lasagne:
The lasagne was divine because the pasta sheets were al-dente the the tomato and beef filling in the middle was rich.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
fish and chips:
Perfect oven cooked chips which had a gorgeous potato taste with a fluffy centre and the fish was coated in breadcrumbs which was chunky and flakey.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
tea:
The tea was surprisingly good but the teapot was smaller than the cup!!

[Review 3625] Pastrami burger @ MOS Burger

The pastrami burger looked interesting so ordered it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pastrami burger:
The burger bun was different, the texture was crusty and chewy similar to baguettes.
It was filled with pastrami, mustard, tomato and lettuce.
The pastrami was different to the ones I have had before, the slices were wafer thin and soft which tasted totally different and not meaty.
It actually tasted like prosciutto with a tangy mustard vinaigrette sauce.

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/second-visit-to-texas-burger-e2388668
As said in my previous review I would visit again.
This time I tried the chicken tikka, vegetarian burger and pulled pork burger.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
chicken tikka:
The rice was interesting because it had herbs sprinkled on top.
As for the curry, it was very spicy and gets spicier when you eat it.
The only improvement is that the rice could be softer.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Vegetarian burger:
The veggie patty was amazing because it had rice in it and the melted cheese on top was proper cheddar cheese which made it taste like baked cheese and rice.
As well as the patty, the creamy avocado made it more filling and nutritious.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pulled pork burger:
The pork was sweet and it was pulled nicely, however the sauce can get a bit spicy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
As well as Butcher's club, this is now my favourite haunt for a cheap and filling veggieburger.

[Review 3623] BATTLE FOR BRITAIN, Scottish referendum @ Yorkshire Pudding

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/battle-for-britain-scottish-referendum-e2388665
On 18 Sept, the Scottish referendum will take place in which they will fight for independence away from United Kingdom.
In the run up to this, Yorkshire pudding will hold a culinary battle featuring the best of English and Scottish food from 1 - 30 Sept .
There are two menus to choose from:
English food menu:
Scottish food menu:
As a Brit, I am definitely tempted to choose the English menu, BUT you don't often see Scottish food being served at the Yorkshire pudding so I chose the Scottish food menu.
Some people chose the English food menu, hence the photos.

Scottish menu:

Scallops and black pudding
Dundee fruit cake
Chocolate shortbread
Sheepshaggers gold!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
As a summary, the fish and chips were seriously good because the chips were crispy with a silky starchy middle drenched with lots of malt vinegar.
For the Scottish menu, I loved the salmon and the cute quail scotch eggs, followed by the always delicious black pudding.
I finished off with the Dundee fruit cake which tasted like a lighter version of Christmas pudding without the orange peel.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Here was what we had that night.
Bread basket:
There was an assortment of brioche, Foccacia and Baguette slices.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Ganzpacho:
We had refreshing cold melon soup which was really appetizing with tomatoes in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Scallop carpaccio:
Hokkaido scallop carpaccio, celery fennel cucumber, passionfruit and lime dressing.
The refreshing soup was followed by more tantalizing scallop carpaccio which was dressed in a summery concoction of passionfruit and lime dressing.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fresh smoked salmon:

Next was the fresh 42 degrees Celcius smoked salmon with smoked caviar, cucumber apple salad and pistou.
0 讚好
The salmon was amazing, it was silky and soft that it melted in your mouth complemented by the saltiness of the caviar.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mushroom tea:
0 讚好
Mushroom consomme with poached morel, porcini and spinach.
The soup was good because you are normally served creamy blended soups and this broth was healthy with a strong earthy mushroom taste and the finely chopped spinach strands enhanced the presenation of the soup.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Roasted pigeon:
Roasted pigeon breast and confit leg with spinach, cherry and hazelnut oil salad
0 讚好
The pigeon was the best pigeon I have ever tasted especially the pigeon breast because it was sweet and juicy and I loved the tender spinach leaves and fresh juicy cherries that went with it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Australian M6 Wagyu striploin:
Wagyu striploin with potato gnocchi in blue cheese cream sauce.

The beef was tender and juicy which went well with the strong tasting gnocchi.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
cheese platter:
0 讚好
It ended perfectly with a cheese platter with a selection of delicious cheeses from mild to strong. There were delicious jams to go with it and Cherry is the best one to choose.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Coffee granite:
1 讚好
There was a choice of panna cotta or the coffee granite.
I chose the coffee granite because they said that the previous comments were good.
It is basically warm chocolate at the bottom, with vanilla cream in the middle topped with crushed expresso ice on top.
0 讚好
Even though I am not a coffee lover, I thought it was amazing because the warm chocolate at the bottom and the cold expresso ice on top infused into a delicious gooey chocolate mocha smoothed out by the vanilla cream in the middle.

To finish off, there was an exotic selection of teas from Comptoir Francais du THE.
I chose the earl grey which was a perfect end to the blissful meal.
