Yamm
尖沙咀彌敦道118-130號Mira Place, The Mira Hong Kong 地下大堂
Lobby, G/F, The Mira Hong Kong, Mira Place, 118-130 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui
I have always wanted to go to Yamm but it is always fully booked.
Managed to get a table while they were doing an Aussie themed buffet until the 28th of this month.
Normally restaurants will feature different themes like British, American, Italian, German, Indian, Thai, Japanese, Korean but Australian food is extremely rare.
Hopefully we will see other themes like Polish, Russian, African, Scottish, Nordic, Egyptian coming up.
For the Aussie themed buffet they had Aussie yabbies which are like Dublin prawns, balmain bugs, baked whole barramundi, whole rack of lamb and others dishes.

As I have a Western palate, all these were wonderful delights.
They had a nice range of cream cheeses.
-sundried tomato
-black pepper
-almond and apricot
For Asian palates, there was a good range of sushi and the much loved lobsters.
The tomato and lobster claw congee was divine. It tasted a like rich lobster bisque with a light tomato taste.

There was foie gras too.
If all that doesn't please you, there is a truffle pasta loaded with truffle.
Personally I liked the couscous, breads, the cream cheeses and the lobster claw congee.
Unfortunately I had a bit of a flu so I could only sample a few desserts.
The doughnut was my favourite because it was simple and delicious.
I can't wait to come again and hopefully they will have a different theme on the next visit.

[Review 4118]Rose garden @ Lab Made 分子雪糕專門店

Lab Made 分子雪糕專門店 (已結業)
Lab Made Cafe

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/rose-garden-e2426096
Saw pretty pictures of the Rose garden icecream at Labmade so decided to get it.
The rose garden was a smooth strawberry yogurt ice cream with real strawberry pieces and a layer of refreshing passion fruit sauce in the centre decorated with handmade meringue roses and red chocolate hearts.
This is definitely my favourite so far because I love natrual tasting strawberry yoghurt and the refreshing passion fruit sauce was balanced by the sweetness of the chocolate pieces.
I also had the banana custard cake which had real pieces of banana in it that was simply delicious.

[Review 4117] Crab roe chain @ 雄丼丼 Hung Don Don

雄丼丼 Hung Don Don
鰂魚涌海灣街25號地下
G/F, 25 Hoi Wan Street, Quarry Bay
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/crab-roe-chain-e2426068
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 curry donut was good because it was filled with delicious curry and the donut was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

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.
