Had to wait bloody ages because the woman who was cooking the food was on the bloody phone.
There was a total mix up with orders!

Basically you choose what you want with rice.
I hate the rice because it was Japanese pearl rice which is hard and heavy.
Finally tried the Taiwanese blood sausage and taro thing and they were was sweet so I didn't like it.
The tofu fared better and the chicken gizzard was not soft enough.

[Review 4102] Magic volcano @ Lab Made 分子雪糕專門店 Lab Made Cafe

Came here because of the Volcanic dessert:
When you order, they will prepare the volcano!!
They crush some dry ice to put in the volcano.

After that, they pour some hot sauce in the volcano which causes the eruption due to the temperature difference.
The dessert was a bit too rich for me because it was made of truffle and not cake.

Pouring sauce into the volcano:

The dumplings taste ok, but the guy cooking them kept wiping his nose with this bare hands while cooking!
It can also be seen that they cook vegetarian dumplings and meat dumplings on the same pan!

[Review 4100] Your average dumpling @ 莉苑美食 Lily's Food

As food is expensive in the area, this place is popular because it is cheap.
The dumplings were ok, the skin was a bit thick and the filling was juicy with lots of pork broth.
Just an ordinary eatery in my point of view but as the food nearby is so inferior that it makes average food taste fantastic!

Got the grilled saury fish set which came with soup, salad and rice.
Unfortunately, the fish seemed like it had been in an accident because every bone was broken which made it difficult to eat because you had to spit out shards of bones in every mouthful.

As usual the staff here are rude and carefree.
I came here for the S'mores which was crushed peanuts, chocolate chips and marshmallows in a toast.
The S'mores was a bit too sweet for my liking and there wasn't enough marshmallows in it.
The toast that they used was not fresh because the texture was dry, hard and chewy.

Then we had vegetables topped with rich crab gravy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Crab soup:
 0 讚好

Crab soup was my favourite because there were so many ingredients such as crab, tofu and crab roe.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steamed hairy crabs:
 0 讚好


The crabs had thick delicious runny crab roe which tasted like egg yolk.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
花雕蛋白蒸:

This was similar to the above but it was infused with wine.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Stir fried crab:

Compared to the steamed ones, the texture of the crab roe was chalky.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
crab with noodles:


This dish was ok but I didn't like the noodles because they were crispy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steamed buns:

The buns were filled with delicious runny egg custard.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
sweet soup:


To finish off, they serve ginger soup after a meal of crabs but Chinese dessert soups are not my cup of tea.
