The best Chinese afternoon tea
2014-12-17 2128 瀏覽
Putienians living in Kowloon will be delighted that there is a branch at Diamond Hill now!
This branch is very convenient and you don't have to wait for elevators.
Tried the tea set which costs $68, there are six dishes which is a good representation of Putien food.

For $30 more, you can add SET A or SET B which is another set of three dishes.

For fans like me, I opted for A and B because I love their food so much.
When it came, the tea set was huge! The trays were stacked on top of each other.
This was the main set:

There was delicious spinach in thick salted egg yolk and preserved egg yolk sauce, braised bamboo shoots, Jelly pigs trotters, Signature rice noodles, soup and lemongrass jelly.
Close ups of the dishes:
For SET A and SET B, they both had some really good dishes.
SET A had this delicious rice that was flavoured, then there was crispy seaweed with shrimps and some soft beancurd.
SET B was also good but it was a lighter option without the rice, the intestines were surprisingly good because they were very clean and lean. Then the thinly sliced bittermelon was refreshing.
The dessert was interesting because it was chewy filled with a sweet filling.
I can't wait to come back for this but this set is only served at this branch from 2:30-4:30pm.
For people who are addicted to the chili sauce sauce, they now sell it! Hooray!

Thanks to Mungkk for getting me this.
I don't often buy from Chinese bakeries so I probably miss out on some good items.
The thing I had was like a mochi pancake filled with custard and slightly grilled.
It was not too sweet and interesting to eat.

The seafood shabu shabu came in a sweet sukiyaki broth which had a nice smokey flavour.
There were giant prawns in the pot and my favourite tofu pieces.

They sell the salad by weight.
Before you pick your salad, you have to choose a pasta or salad base which takes up most of the box so you are paying mainly for the pasta/salad.
0 讚好
After you have chosen your salad/pasta they do not weigh it and they only give you a tiny pinch of salad from the cabinet to feed a mouse!
They only let you choose two items which is pathetic, at Tallore they give you a huge box and you are allowed to choose as many items as you want as long as the box is big enough.
0 讚好
It is so rubbish that you can't just choose the salad from the counter because it has to come with the compulsory pasta or plain salad leaves to fill up the box.
I had an the garland Chrysanthemum and beef, potato mentaiko and pasta.
The pasta base was awful and clumped together because it was chilled in the fridge for too long.
Personally I feel that Japanese soba noodles would be better than pasta because this is meant to be Japanese joint.

Walked past and saw this interesting joint which specializes in Rou jia mo.
Rou jia mo (meat burger/sandwich) is a street snack that originates from the Shaanxi Province and now widely consumed all over China.
In China, different provinces will have different variation in fillings.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Original Rou jia mo:
Unfortunately, the one I had was tasteless and had lots of oil dripping from it.
The vinegar made it slightly better.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Although I didn't like the food, it was good that they put effort into the design of the packaging and there is a QR code on the back of the bag.
To summarize I made the wrong decision in ordering this because the noodles that other people ordered looked so much better.
If I happen to be in the area again, I am going to try those noodles.

Squid burger:
The squid burger was really nice, on top of the patty there was sweetcorn mixed with eggy mayonnaise which was strangely viscous.
0 讚好
The patty was crisp on the outside and in the middle it was moist and slightly gelatinous with chopped up pieces of squid.
It tasted nice because the squid flavour was strong and there were hints of prawn too in the patty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Caramel French Cruller:
For dessert I had the French Cruller which comes in three flavours: Chocolate, caramel or strawberry.
Caramel seemed like the best one I chose that.
0 讚好
A French cruller is a fluted, ring-shaped doughnut made from choux pastry with a light airy texture.
It was filled with cream and sweet caramel sauce and banana slices, a nice treat which is good once in a while.
