Bakery products from 759
2015-02-26 804 瀏覽
759 was a shop selling preserved packaged food to start off with and now they have expanded into other businesses such as cosmetics, noodle joints and now a bakery too!
I wonder if we will see 759 Medical clinics, 759 Barbers, 759 Laundry, 759 Petrol Stations coming soon!!!
Initially 759 didn't appeal to me because the variety was limited and it was cheap and unhealthy packaged Asian snacks like noodles and crisps but now there is more European variety and they even have TIMOTEI shampoo.
I was curious to try their bakery because I love bread but in Hong Kong, it is either proper Western Bread or Sweet tasting savoury Chinese bread.

Walked past one day and bought some bread and muffins.
You can probably use your membership card on the purchase but I forgot to use mine and the lady at the till didn't remind me.

Double chocolate muffin:

The muffin was not outstanding but at least it looked like a muffin with pieces of chocolate in it.
It was not impressive but it was not too sweet, too oily or too crumbly.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tomato corn toast:
Technically it is bread because it hasn't been toasted yet and it probably tastes better as a toast.
With good breads, they taste great on their own but the tomato bread required a filling to make it into a tasty sandwich.
The tomato taste was surprisingly good because you could taste tomato in almost every bite but saying that it was probably tomato flavouring mixed in the dough.
There were also pieces of sweetcorn in it too but I still classify this as a Chinese style bread because it was sweet and the texture of the bread was evidently Chinese and not yeasty at all.

[Review 4140] Meokbang is now on the Island @ 炑八韓烤 MeokBang Korean BBQ & BAR

Meokbang is now on the Island
2015-02-26 3319 瀏覽
Previously there used to be only one branch of Meokbang that was located in Mong Kok but now they have opened a second branch at Causeway bay which is conveniently near Exit F of Causeway bay MTR station.
This branch is definitely more convenient for me.
Here was what we had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Ganjang Gejang (Raw Crab Marinated in Soy Sauce)
A traditional Korean delicacy directly imported from Korea! Made by marinating a fresh raw crab in homemade liquor and soy sauce for 4 days!
0 讚好
The crab came with rice and seaweed soup.
0 讚好
It was sinfully delicious mixing the rice into the creamy orange crab roe which tasted like egg yolk.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Raw prawns marinated in soy sauce:
0 讚好
For people with high cholesterol levels, they can try this instead of the crab because it is also marinated in soy sauce.
The prawns were sweet with a salty fermented aftertaste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
panfried seafood pancake:
I love these pancakes because they are crispy with pieces of seafood and scallion in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
While the metal grill was heating up, egg was poured into the rims and Mozzarella cheese with diced peppers were put on the other side of the rim.
Started off grilling the ox tongues because they were thinly sliced and easy to cook.
They were simply delicious with lettuce.
On the plate, there were prawns, prime beef spare rib, scallops, pork belly and marinated chicken.
We then had the Prime spare ribs which was a huge piece of meat that was unrolled on the grill, then cut into pieces when it was nearly cooked.
When the cheese melted, I scooped some and had it with the rice and it tasted really nice.
It became more addictive when I added cheese and egg to the rice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Octopus
This was Korean style octopus which I found too spicy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
To soothe our palates, we had these desserts which were like snow!~
Green tea snow ice
Red bean snow ice
The snow ice is basically milk made into snow that is not sweet so they give you condensed milk which acts as a sweetener.
Frankly it tasted great without the sweetener because the green tea powder and sweet pieces of mochi went well with it.

When you arrive, you key in the number of people and wait for the loudspeaker to announce your table.
Ordering is simple, you just write your orders on the sheet and pass it to the waiters.

There were quite a few branches of this noodle place with a nice one in Central that is decorated with many paper crafts and the chairs which you sit on are made of cardboard.
Sadly that place has closed down.
This is the only branch of Slim Taste!
Made the mistake of ordering dishes because the noodles taste better.

[Revuew 4136] Having tea in the green field @ 綠田園咖啡 Greenfield Cafe

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/having-tea-in-the-green-field-e2428700
This cafe is on the corner but I never had a chance to try it because it is small and often full.
You will never miss it because the green at the top is faded by the sun and the inside looks very old as it were not open.
Anyway, finally tried it one afternoon and had the green tea with roasted rice which was brewed with a tea bag.
There were light lunches available but I already had lunch.
The green tea taste was rather light.
Although it wasn't impressive, I have finally tried this place and there was a nice view of Central where you can see Queen's Road and Wellington Street.
I didn't quite feel like I was in a field or anything on the lines of that.

This branch of Choux Creme is right next to some other stall.
Anyway, when I went to order, there was only one staff there in Choux uniform so I assumed she was the one to approach.
After I approached her, she went to the other stall and poked the staff who then served me.
It appeared that she did not understand English so I spoke Chinese back, anyway they are doing a stamps promotion but she didn't give me a stamp card until I asked.
There were double stamps that day too which I had to remind her.
