I was here for the Baked Macheroni Carbonara but luckily the waitor was smart and told me that they are serving rigatoni pasta and not the macaroni as posted on their instagram because I prefer macaroni.

I ordered the hanger steak instead.

hanger steak:
The hanger steak was just delicious, it was soft, juicy and delicious.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Apart from the delicious food, it takes some time for the food to come and getting the bill.
When I got the bill, I realized I was charged for STILL WATER which I did not ask for.
A bottle of water was placed on my table but they did not tell me it was $20 but luckily the guy kindly refunded it and said they should have told me that it was not free.
The bottle was about 1.5 litres in volume which is a bit much for someone dining alone hence the negative review even though the steak is amazing.
BUT I WILL BE BACK!!

How would mushrooms in milk taste?

I was hungry again so went here for some quick noodles.
One of the new toppings was weirdly interesting, it was mushrooms in milk so I wonder how it would taste.

I was quite annoyed I wasn't given this loyalty card on the previous visit or I would have had a $5 discount now!
Hence this is an OK review and not a  review .

So should I still vote for you guys ?

Noodles:
When I took the lid off, the tofu, peanuts, coriander and sauce were neatly placed.

It tasted nice after mixing it together but it was too spicy.

To be honest, I don't like this branch because it is in the heart of MK and the bar table where you eat the noodles is in a stinky alley with lots of people smoking.

Tofu noodles:
They were too salty this time.

I love their afternoon offers because they have items like instant noodles.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Instant noodles with chicken and fish patty:

I knew I was going to hate it when I got it from the counter because the noodles were fat which meant it had absorbed the broth!
The broth was ok, but the noodles were too soft and annoying.

[Review 4150] Just the right size for me @ Yo Yo SHAKE

I love their milkshakes because they blend icecream into it but to be honest the standard ones are a bit too much for one to finish.
Walked past and saw the green apple milkshake so decided to get it and it is great they have this new Micro size series.
The price is good too because I got them at half price when they first opened so once you've had that offer it is hard to fork out at full price psychological unless it is really good because milkshakes are not a necessity but a sweet treat.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
green apple milkshake:

The green apple milkshake was thick with a strong vanilla icecream base but the apple taste wasn't strong.
Unfortunately it was slightly too sweet even though I asked for it to be less sweet.

Got these at the PMQ and they cost more than buying them at the shop.

SPY-DA:

Soft shell crab dusted with 5 signature spices, cucumber and lettuce.
The spices were not really strong so I liked it because I could taste the crabmeat as well as the soft shell crab.

[Review 4148] French toast with apricot @ 山頂餐廳酒吧 Peak Cafe Bar

For breakfast I don't normally order anything sweet but they had this French toast with apricot and yoghurt which I had to try.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
French toast with apricot and yoghurt:

With the location being in Central and right by the mid-levels escalators the French toast was not going to be the silly local ones dipped in egg and drenched in thick syrup.
It was a modest toast filled with finely sliced apricots in the middle served with tart vanilla yoghurt.

The toast was divine because the apricots were sweet and fruity while the tart yoghurt mellowed it out.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Earl grey tea:

The tea took some time to come, from ordering to chasing it up with another waitor who forgot so we had to reorder it again.
You could imagine how damn thirsty I was from the beginning until it arrived!
It was good to see that they were using tea leaves and not tea bags.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Overall the food was good but the waitors were slow from ordering to giving you the bill.
A great place if you want to spend a long time there.
