After paying $148 for a crab roe udon 蟹皇油烏冬 Donka in Central I found out that 雄丼丼 Hung Don Don and DONKA 自家湯汁麵食專門店 are part of the same group.
The crab roe dish 蟹皇油 is the cheapest at Quarry bay's 雄丼丼 Hung Don Don which is served on rice, whereas DONKA 自家湯汁麵食專門店 (North point) and DONKA 一碗一串 (central) both cost $148 served with udon.
There is another copycat nearby in QB that also serves these dishes too.
Basically they all serve the same dishes such as shredded chicken in Shaoxing wine, rice in lobster broth 龍蝦湯泡飯 etc.
The crab roe with minced pork on rice was ok at this place, there was quite a lot of minced pork in the sauce, however the vinegar tastes better here because it is more fruity and acidic whereas the one in Central failed as a vinegar as it was sweet only.

Had a craving for rice and peas so went to Mandy's for a quick fix.
The rice was soft and fluffy with so much fragrant Thyme and starchy Kidney beans.

[Review 4115] 6th branch of Cali-Mex!! @ Cali-Mex

I was on my way to Flaming Frango's when I was given a flyer for a free frozen Margarita.
There was already a crowd there but I managed to get one.
I chose the strawberry which was sweet with a hint of Tequila.

[DINED HERE AGES AGO IN JUNE 2014 BUT IF I KNEW THERE WAS GOING TO BE ONE AT DIAMOND HILL I WOULDN'T HAVE COME HERE!! But saying that, the food was better at this branch]
This place is out of nowhere but clearly I came here for their Okinawan donuts.
Came here twice because both times the donuts were fried perfectly and not soaked in oil.
After trying the savoury and sweet, the savoury was definitely a winner.
The sets were not that good because there was something in every set that I did not like.
Apart from the food, I didn't like the decor because it was not my style.

The bento sets had juicy seagrapes unlike the DH branch which was just stalks!!

Curry donut:

The curry donut was good because it was filled with delicious curry and the donut was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Mashed potato donut:

As a starch lover, this was delicious mash encased in the donut.
I simply love potatoes and bread.
The flavour isn't strong but you can taste potatoes and the donut.

I was a bit disappointed with this because it was too sweet.

Mini glutinous rice dumplings in soymilk:
1 讚好
The soymilk was lightly sweetened and it had a reasonable soy bean taste, however the dumplings were too soft otherwise it would have been a perfect dessert.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sweet potatoes and ginger jam in soymilk:
This was also another good dessert but the sweet potatoes were too hard and starchy but it was nice it had pieces of beancurd sheets in it.
1 讚好
At the bottom there was ginger jam which didn't quite go well with the dessert.
1 讚好
I think it would taste better if there was no ginger jam and it would be great if the pieces of sweet potatoes were softer.

I was drawn to the counter because of the pistachio cakes but then I was attracted to the scones because they had four different flavours.
I was told the square ones were American ones and the round ones were British scones.
I wanted to get the British scones but they didn't look appetizing so I went for the cinnamon and walnut scone which was the square one.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Walnut cinnamon scone:
The scone tasted quite nice with a strong cinnamon taste and pieces of walnuts in it but it was the dough taste was too heavy.
