Tried the all you can eat at this place and Master Chau was filming there!
The restaurant is nice and spacious.
To order, there are a pile of order forms where you tick the items you want.
My favourite was the aloe vera salad which was sweet and refreshing.
The sashimi was fresh and there was a good variety.
Toro is also available in the all you can eat list and it melts in your mouth.
The fried selection had a good variety including tempura and croquettes.
Each item was perfectly golden and crispy.
The lamb racks were juicy and tasty.
The baked oysters were rich and tasty because the sauce had shiitake mushrooms and bacon which complemented the oysters nicely.
The highlight were the scallops which were served on a hot iron plate that keeps them warm and sizzling.
Each scallop was tender and covered in delicious sweet buttery sauce with crispy sweet onions to go with it.
今次黎到滿屋日本料理,為大家介紹既就係呢個鐵板帆立貝,先同大家講下佢嘅做法
首先將加拿大既大大粒嘅帶子,飛一飛水,放入牛油同洋蔥絲落鑊炒一炒,帶出香味,
加入帶子同少少嘅調味料, 然後放上鐵板, 再淋上師父秘製醬汁, 咁就完成架喇
師父話用鐵板一來帶子無咁快凍, 上菜之後仍然可以保持熱度,
帶子如果凍左, 會影響口感而且加埋鐵板做法, 帶子食落會比較香口,
原來師父用鐵板做帶子, 真係有原因, D帶子粒粒肉厚鮮甜,真係100%日本風味架!

They are also doing a birthday promotion so that if you celebrate with six friends or more for your birthday they will give you a bottle of Sake.
The episode that Master Chau was filming at this restaurant can be seen here!













[Review 3769] Halloween Tai Cheong jumbo pandan egg tart cake @ 泰昌餅家 Tai Cheong Bakery

Previously tried the huge jumbo egg tart cake at Tai Cheong which got popular.
At first they began with the lemon flavour and then they launched the chocolate one.
For Halloween, they have the new pandan flavour as well as the other two flavours with Halloween images on it.
The lady at the till forgot to add the Halloween images on it.
When I started taking photos of the promotional poster she realized she forgot about the Halloween finishing on the cake and offered to add it for me but as it was just icing sugar that will make the cake sweeter I did not bother with it.

As well as forgetting that, she also forgot that there was a special box for it that says jumbo eggtarts.

Anyway, the egg tart cake tasted the best out of the three flavours.
Initially I was skeptical because I tried their Japanese Pandan cheesecake and didn't like it.

But the egg tart cake version is definitely good because it has triple pandan flavour, there is a layer of pandan cake, pandan cream and pandan pudding layer.

[Review 3768] Superman burger : Honey Mustard Chicken @ 麥當勞 McDonald's

After the successful Batman burger, Hong Kong's McDonalds have launched the Superman burger.
This time it is a chicken burger, so non beef eaters won't be left out.
It is bun dusted with crushed oats with a slice of processed cheese, crispy chicken patty, two slices of bacon, lettuce and honey mustard sauce.
For sides, it comes with potato cheese balls and Bubblegum Mcfloat which is a blue drink that comes in a Superman cup.
Before we talk about food, lets have a look at the cool boxes.
The burger box was a bit boring but the box for the potato cheese balls was really nice because it had the Superman logo with a diecut so that you can press out the edges of the logo and the same goes with the burger box but Superman's hair is not that attractive.
At the bottom of the box, it is printed with the copyright.
Now, I will go on about the taste of the food!!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Superman burger : Honey Mustard Chicken:
The chicken patty was really nice and juicy but the honey mustard sauce was too sweet and ruined the
burger. I would have liked the mustard to be stronger but it wasn't.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Potato cheese balls:
I really disliked the potato cheese balls because it was processed cheese in the middle.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Bubblegum McFloat:
The drink tasted artificial but then that was expected.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Taro Pie:
The taro pie was sweet and starchy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The Superman burger is part of the Justice league series so lets see what they have in store for the Green lantern and The Flash.













[Review 3767] Buffet with endless red and white house wine @ 薈萃閣 ip cafe

For wine lovers, they will love this place because it is unlimited.
The buffet price is ok and they have free parking subject to availability.
Anyway, I don't drink alcohol so I was there for the food and it was only a 10 minute walk from Sheung Wan MTR.
The food selection was better this time and it was good getting away from the crowd.
A good selection of cheese, the Brie and Edam were the best.

Nice dessert selection
The pork knuckles in sweet vinegar were soft and gelatinous.
Tried the Peking duck with pancakes which was also good.
They also had robatayaki as well.
I tried the mushroom which was grilled to perfection and smothered in a sweet sauce.
To finish off I had a nourishing Chinese herbal soup.
