This place used to good for authentic Yunnan cuisine but there is a lack of demand for some special items such as milk cake (雲南乳餅) so it is not available anymore.

There is another restaurant that serves it but the restaurant is located in San Po Kong which is in the middle of no where.

Since the milk cake was not available I had to order other items.

They give you Jasmine tea which tastes and smells like Jasmine flavoured toilet freshener.
The cucumber with bean sauce was lovely because the bean sauce was strong with a hint of chili.
I ended up ordering fried milk which tastes like cheese crisps but it was ruined with the stupid sugar on top.
The fried rice was good, each grain was distinct and al-dente and the rice was evenly flavoured.

This was my third time here for the lobster and there is a fourth too but I have decided to write the third visit before the fourth.
It was during the holidays so there were quite a lot of people.
The lobsters were fresh and succulent, the cheese and the plain were the best.
The ravioli was very firm and al-dente.
The lobster carpaccio was sweet and springy.
To finish off I had my favourite gelato icecream which had a very strong natrual pistachio taste.

Last time the food was ok but this time the Chinese radishes were really bitter and after eating them I felt sick and needed the shxts.
The noodles were ok, the curry sauce was bland and watery.


[Review 4031] Death by chocolate @ 富豪餅店 Regal Patisserie

There are many chocolate related desserts called Death by chocolate but I have never tried one.
We were lucky to try this luxurious death by chocolate cake from Regal patisserie at a gathering.

It had a metallic appearance which I thought was whipped chocolate cream but it was hardened thick truffle paste.
In the middle there were two thick layers of chocolate ganache.
After having a few spoonfuls it got a bit sickly.
All I can say is that it was thick and heavy that the chocolate ganache in the middle is enough to bake quite a few chocolate cakes!!!


[Review 4030] Lab Made Cafe @ Lab Made 分子雪糕專門店

Shop B, G/F, Soundview Plaza 2 - Midtown, 1-29 Tang Lung Street, Causeway Bay
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/lab-made-cafe-e2419486

Tang lung street used to be a street dominated by cars and red minibuses, it was dark and dirty.
Butao was the first brave restaurant to settle a branch there followed by a few others.
Now with the newly built Soundwill Plaza, Tang lung street is so much more glitzy with Jamie Olivers, The Point pizza and pasta and Lab Made.
The road is partially cordoned off which makes it safer for people.
Anyway, this new branch of Lab Made fits the scene and you can dine there comfortably for a coffee or cake as well as their famous nitrogen icecream.
That day I had the salted caramel icecream which tastes similar to the grill a corn.
It was slightly salty balanced by the caramel sauce with pieces of crunchies in it.
Next time I am going to try the volcanic lava cake!

To be honest lunch here is better than the evenings because you can get a taste of mutton at a better deal.

Lunches are under $50 and there is no service charge.

Cumin spiced mutton with rice :

I loved flavoured rice and this had shredded pieces of pumpkin in it garnished with raisins and onions.
As well as the rice, the lamb was tasty but the rice gets heavy towards the end because it has quite a lot of oil mixed into it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Noodles:


The noodle was in a delicious broth and there were lots of diced vegetables and pieces of tofu in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Goat's milk pudding:

The pudding was made from goat's milk powder but it still tasted ok because it was very creamy and silky

Mei Foo's hidden golden nuggets of treasure
2015-01-20  5368 瀏覽
If I am ever at Mei Foo I always have to stop here for some nougats.

This place is only famous to the small majority that know it but quite famous for Chinese expats because they buy boxes of nougats and cookies as souvenirs.

Hopefully I will be back soon because the nougats are addictive and I regretted not getting the chicken biscuits and the abalone biscuits.

This time I got the nougat variety pack which has all eight nougat flavours:

Original flavour, crispy chocolate, crispy coffee, crispy black sesame, almond nougat, almond and prune, ginger and almond and blueberry and hazelnut.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Original peanut


The peanut flavour was quite nice because it was crammed with lots of peanuts in it.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

crispy chocolate


This one was my favourite because it is crispy and chewy and tastes just like a mini lion bar!

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

crispy coffee

Not a fan of coffee so and I found it too sweet.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

crispy black sesame

Not a fan of sesame so it just tasted ok.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

almond nougat


This one was quite addictive because there were lot of crunchy almonds in it.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

almond and prune


As well as the chocolate, this was also my favourite because it was very chewy and soft.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

ginger and almond


The ginger one is quite different compared to other ones because it has a fiery kick to it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

blueberry and hazelnut


This one was quite sweet but I loved the hazelnuts.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

After trying all the flavours, my favourites were the prune and the crispy chocolate.
