Purple shock from Maxim's MX
2015-01-06 634 瀏覽
I have always thought that Maxim's MX was boring so when I walked past I was shocked and stunned to see that they had Sweet purple potato juice.
After I ordered it people began to order it because they didn't seem to notice it or they were not brave enough to risk it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sweet purple potato juice:
The juice was quite thick with pieces of sweet potato lumps in it and the sweetness was just right with a fragrant purple sweet potato taste.
It is almost like having a Chinese sweet soup but the sweetness is not so intense.
The drink is good for breakfast because it was very filling but having a cup is a bit too much!!

[Review 3983] Wasabi Warriors from Australia @ Wasabi Warriors
06/01/2014
Wasabi Warriors
中環士丹利街50號信誠廣場地下F舖
Shop F, G/F, World Trust Tower, 50 Stanley Street, Central
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/wasabi-warriors-from-australia-e2416034
When I saw this listed, I didn't have a clue what it was but from the name it was obviously Japanese or something to do with sushi.
Walked past one afternoon and quite alot of the food was sold out and I was having dinner anyway so I just got a scallop sushi which was labelled as salmon.
I am giving this an OK score because I only had one piece of sushi which doesn't represent the whole picture but I will come back.
I got the seared scallop with mentaiko but the receipt says Salmon.
It was a big juicy scallop brushed with sweet sauce on top which was delicious!!
Apart from sushi, they specialize in sushi rolls which means competition for sugo sushi!!!

This review was bordering between a BAD and an OK but decided to give it an OK because it wasn't that bad.
I was captivated here because the picture of the rice showed delicious rice with lots of peas in it.

Stopped by because the tea selection looked promising.
Unfortunately the food wasn't that good.

Tried the pizza and pasta.
On the other menu, the English name for the pizza was naan.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken and cashew pizza:
The pizza base was meant to be naan according to the English menu but it was actually puff pastry.
Puff pastry is fine as long the toppings taste nice but they were SWEET.
Luckily it was a small pizza which didn't take up my appetite to eat other stuff elsewhere.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mexican spaghetti bolognaise:
4 讚好
The spaghetti was already precooked so it was just microwaved with the sauce on top.
I didn't like the sauce because it was watery and tasteless. There were kidney beans to make it look like Mexican food but it lacked Mexican spices.

If it wasn't for openrice I would not have known that this congee joint used to be located on Lockhart Road four years ago.
The reviews at that shop were quite negative especially the hygiene and service.
Luckily I didn't get any of that and the shop owner was extremely nice and I even saw him give meal tickets (飯票)to an eldery.
The congee there was delicious and really cheap too.
Surprisingly they used an electric cooker to cook it!

Every congee had delicious spring onions and tasty peanuts stirred into it before it was served.

The eel was boneless as well and I didn't find any brittle bones in the congee.

The fried fish was crispy from head to tail and every bit was edible because the guts were removed.
It just tasted delicious and brought out the best taste of congee after you took a bite of the crispy fish.

Rice rolls and fried dough stick rice rolls:
The rice rolls were the only items that I did not like because they was too chewy.

[Review 3979] Funky Asian Bisto @ JOE叔叔燒烤快餐 Uncle Joe’s Asian Bistro

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/funky-asian-bisto-e2414259
This is a really nice joint specializing in char siu, spicy chicken and grilled beef.
[according to their website] It is called Uncle Joe's because it is a heart-felt tribute to an extraordinary man’s good taste for life and food, created by Uncle Joe's four sons, all physicians and surgeons in the United States.
Uncle Joe is a real person in his nineties who believes that char shiu possibly gave him his long life, good health and good fortune.”
As well as traditional rice, they have Asian burritos too!
Unfortunately I tried this place too late because they had savoury puffs before.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Char Shiu burrito:
This was just D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S, char siu, cucumbers and lettuce in a wrap.
I think the other wraps are going to be great especially the chicken, but I am not sure about the beef because I don't like Korean flavours.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Spicy Sichuan chicken with rice:
0 讚好
The chicken with rice will make you hungry because the pieces of chicken thigh meat are crispy coated with Sichuan spices which you can smell when they bring it over.
0 讚好
The sweet soy sauce on the rice is a perfect match with the spices and brings it alive while soothing the spiciness of the spices.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sichuan spicy Italian pasta bolognese:
I loved the spicy bolognese sauce because it had chickpeas in it but it would be good if they served it with pasta and not Chinese noodles.
