Dined at Lazy Hog because of the black egg!
Lazy Hog is located on Bridges Street.

Here was what I had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pineapple lime:
It was a pineapple steak at the bottom with pineapple carpaccio slices on top drizzled with lime juice and fine lime peel shavings.
This was very refreshing to start off with especially with the tangy lime juice and juicy pineapple.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Squid ink egg salad:
It had a great presentation and definitely worth ordering.
The egg was BLACK and looked like a black burrata.
However I was slightly disappointed that it was solid all the way through because there was meant to be liquid oozing out from the middle as shown on the previous review.
It would be great if it had liquid vibrant orange yolk in the middle or something runny to mix with the salad leaves.
Although it did not have a runny centre, it tasted so amazing with a strong squid ink taste.
When I eat squid, the taste is similar to egg white so when delicate egg white was infused with squid ink, the taste and texture was divine.
The pieces of toasted bread were nice but a little too crispy.
As an alternative I would not mind having soft pieces of squid ink bread instead.

Digital bill:
They also give you a printed receipt as well and I kept the change because one of the fifty cent coins was a really old one.

[Review 3670] SoHo's Fish & Chips @ SoHo Fish & Chips

SoHo Fish & Chips
中環士丹頓街29號地下
G/F., 29 Staunton Street, Central
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/sohos-fish-chips-e2392254

Saw this shop listed on OpenRice so decided to check it out.
It is located on Staunton's Road on the corner of some road.
The joint is quite small with a few tables serving pizzas, kebabs, curries, burgers and Fish and chips.
The staff that work there all wear the Union Jack bandanas.

Lunch sets are a good deal if you go there during lunch.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mixed meat box with pita bread:
Basically, it was mixed meat on top of pita bread with the usual garlic, mint and spicy sauce.

Not quite the greasy kebab that I was craving for.
The Pita bread was a bit dry and hard which was improved after sauce was added and the mixed meat did not have any strong spices in it.
There was chicken and lamb in the mixture and I was disappointed that I could not taste the chicken tikka.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The menu could be improved because the Tikka and Jalapeno peppers are the wrong way round.

The pasta should read Olive oil instead of oil oil.

Travelled all the way to Mui Wo because they had new items on the menu.

They had battered sausages, bread and butter pudding and really irresistable pies of the day.

BLT Roll:


These were gorgeous and loaded with delicious lean bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise.
Each bite was moreish and tasty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
A salt and battery:

The sausages come with their homemade sauce which tastes like a concoction of HP sauce and Branstons pickle.

The Yorkshires sausages were amazing with a strong herb taste and a lovely crispy batter on the outside.
However the fries were a little dark because of the starch.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Bread and butterpudding:

The size of this was HUGE and the bread and butter pudding was surrounded in generous delicious Bird's eye custard.
How could you not love it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tea:


Simple tea with milk and sugar was just perfect.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pie of the day with shoestring fries:

This pie was better than the other pies on the menu because it had bacon, egg, baked beans and sausage.
Utimately a Breakfast pie!!

Before I ate it, I was curious if the egg would be a sliced hard boiled egg or mashed egg but it was actually a fried egg omelette in the middle which was tasty, and the bacon, sausage and beans definitely tasted good together. 
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
All day breakfast:


A lovely fry up with my favourite earthy mushrooms and a delicious sausage.

[Review 3668] Dreamy Tofu pudding with caramel @ 夢想豆花 Dream Tofa

夢想豆花  Dream Tofa
中環擺花街1號廣場地下6號舖
Shop 6, G/D., 1 Lyndhurst Terrace, Central
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/dreamy-tofu-pudding-with-caramel-e2392043

Since my last visit, there are so many different sauces for the tofu pudding such as red beans, chocolate, sesame, strawberry etc.

For Chinese tastebuds, they are probably going to pick red beans or sesame but for Western tastebuds, there are quite a few good choices to choose from including caramel.

The caramel and tofu pudding definitely go together because it is just like caramel milk pudding but the milk has been replaced with soymilk.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tofu pudding with caramel:

It was definitely a good pairing, smooth silky tofu and the sweet caramel sauce which was a bit watery.
I was expecting thick caramel sauce but it turns out to be caramel syrup.

[Review 3667] A lovely cuppa @ DK Cuppa Tea

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/a-lovely-cuppa-e2392042

I love tea but I was contemplating whether to try this place or not because aroma oils do my head in and make me dizzy.
Since I was checking out SOHO fish and chips, I decided to go in and see if the smell would knock me out.

Luckily I could cope with the aroma fragrance so I got the Holiday Dreams which is coconut and pineapple infused tea with honey (pina colada).

While I was waiting, I smelt the other teas and the chocolate and lavender tea was quite interesting.
On the tables, they have floral sugars.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Holiday Dreams:
The tea was nicely labelled with a silver elastic string and tea information.
Basically the tea was made in a shaker, hence the pretty froth which reminds me of Taiwanese fruit teas.
The tea tasted natrual with a strong pineapple taste and it actually tasted like real pina colada.

[Review 3666] The secret menu @ The Butchers Club

The Butchers Club
灣仔蘭杜街2號麗都大廈10號地舖
Shop 10, G/F, Rialto Building, 2 Landale Street, Wan Chai
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/the-secret-menu-e2392041

On the first visit, I only got the duck fat fries because I did not know about the secret menu.

After I found out about the secret menu, I discovered a vegetarian burger called What food eats.

This veggie burger has a delicious breaded and fried patty made with Chickpeas, white beans, kidney beans, zucchini, peppers, carrots, onion, garlic and crushed, puréed potato.
It then has oyster mushrooms, tomato slices, lettuce and pan-fried halloumi slapped on.

$120 is quite pricey for a Vegetarian burger but luckily it was the best Vegetarian burger I have ever had.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
What food eats:
The veggie burger was just awesome because it was filling as well as delicious especially with the Halloumi cheese and oyster mushrooms.
Basically it had the delicious key elements a burger should have which are cheese and mushrooms and a delicous patty.

The veggie patty was not oily and flavourful with beans and my favourite pureed potatoes.
