The food here is expensive but unfortunately the food doesn't match up to it.
Tried the lamb and leek which was mega disappointing because the leeks were old and stringy and the lamb was tasteless.
I was expecting some bold spices and herbs but it was just leeks and onions.
The rice beneath is was too soft and oily.

[Review 3932] Mushy rice @ 新景記

This is the weirdest spring onion oil I have seen.
It was plain chicken topped with FRESHLY cut green spring onions.
The rice beneath it was mushy like congee and the sauce that was really looking forward to was tasteless.

I am not a fan of their croissants because they taste too buttery but I went to the popup stall at Hysan place to get a gift for my friend.
With any purchase, you get a chance to design something if you are lucky.
Luckily, I got the 2D gift ornament which allows you to design something to be printed with the purchase of a gingerbread man.

(FORGOT TO TAKE PIC) but it was the gingerbread man that has bones on it looking like the character from the film SCREAM.
If I had been advised that the thin pen strokes wouldn't print out so well, I would have made them thicker.

Anyway, here it is being printed out, the white line of dots are the lasers in action.

[Review 3930] A swing of Italian flair at the WTC @ No.5 Italian

Tried this restaurant because it was a new branch of the No.5 Italian at Tai Hang.

The environment was modern and comfortable with a nice sea view.
Started off with bread which was held in a flour bag.
5 讚好
Then we had juicy grilled portobello mushrooms with cheese and sweet balsamic vinegar.
4 讚好
It was followed by a creative plate of caramel apple salad.
The apples were sweet with a fragrant buttery taste.
4 讚好
After that we had toast with Iberian ham and white truffle.
The saltiness of the Iberian ham went well with the white truffle.
3 讚好
Next was my favourite because the pizza had ham and fig which was scrumptious, the amount of ham on the pizza was generous.
For the main course we had linguine in creamy white truffle sauce which I felt was too creamy.
4 讚好
Then we had Silician red prawn risotto which was my favourite because it was flavourful with chunks of prawn and asparagus in the risotto.
Last but not least the beef cheek with parpadelle was marvellous because the beef cheek was extremely soft and gelatinous and the parpadelle hung that delicious sauce on it.

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.
3 讚好
For $30 more, you can add SET A or SET B which is another set of three dishes.
1 讚好
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:
3 讚好
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.
My friend was really hungry so ordered extra pork slices ($58) and udon ($22).
