Came back again to try the Warrior meal, there were lots of rolls and bites to choose from.

Crumbled chicken with avocado (left) and cooked tuna (right)

Both were tasty and fresh but I wish there was more filling and it would be good if the rice could be softer.

Soft shell crab and fresh scallop bite

The soft shell crab was tasty but again the rice was too dense.
As for the salmon bite, it was sweet glazed with Japanese mayonnaise and avocado.

I missed the fig drink so I ordered that and had the caramel tea because it was different.

It did not taste sweet but had a really sweet caramel smell that is just like the Highland toffee tea at Shortbread Teas .

It was ruby red garnished with a sprig of mint on top.
The drink was really refreshing and not syrupy followed by the lovely fizzyness of the carbonated water and bits of sweet blended fig.

My thirst was satisfied!!

To be honest I have not dined here before but when I saw the new range of crystal sushi I had to try it because who does not like pretty things.

The crystal sushi series are sushi topped with flavoured jelly which is clear and glistens.


The most impressive one was the rose.


I loved the crystal sushi because when you ate it, the jelly melts in your mouth releasing the flavour.

Here were what I had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Non alcoholic mojito:


Started off with lychee and mint mojito which was refreshing with a fragrant lychee taste and cooling mint.

This was spinach served with a side of self grated sesame sauce.


It was amazing that there was so much spinach in a portion which tasted delicious with the thick sweet sesame sauce that had a fragrant toasted sesame taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Bluefin tuna with Japanese dashi jelly sushi:


I loved this one because bluefin tuna has a strong unami taste which went well with the dashi jelly that had a smokey flavour.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Deluxe scallop with caviar and sake rose jelly sushi:

This was simply beautiful with a light taste complemented by the rosy sake jelly on top.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fatty salmon with fried garlic and yuzu jelly sushi:

It was beautiful how they put layers of jelly in between the sushi.
This one had a sweet citrus taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Botan ebi and uni roll with ume sauce on ponzu jelly:

This was a tasty one with strong and creamy flavours.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Yellowtail with kimchi sauce and Shochu jelly sushi:

This had a spicy kick to it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Wagyu Beef with leek onion and black truffle jelly sushi:


Last but not least was the beef which was had a delicious strong truffle flavour.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Nameko no miso shiru:

This was tofu and nameko mushroom miso soup which was loaded with earthy nameko mushrooms.

Having a good fried chicken always depends on luck, being there at the right time and moment that the batch of fried chicken is done.

Anyway, went there for the new potato crisp fried chicken and blueberry Portuguese tart.
I could only get the chicken because the tart was sold out.
 0 讚好

The fried chicken was good that day because it was juicy and the coating was even.
You could smell crisps when you ate the chicken and taste Mexican cajun spices and paprika but it was spicy as well.

[Review 4200] Retro snack joint @ 容媽媽

I was attracted to this joint by the stall like décor, which has an old twist to it.
There were lots of things to choose from and I was tempted to get the noodles but as I was having dinner I opted for the fried inside out tofu puffs stuffed with cuttlefish.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
tofu puffs stuffed with cuttlefish:

They looked exactly like the inside out tofu puffs at Cheung Chau but they weren’t as tasty because the cuttlefish patty was evidently a cuttlefish ball that was rubbery and tasteless.
 0 讚好

Anyway, there was a side of Chinese sweet sauce which made the crispy tofu delicious.

They also had fried beancurd rolls stuffed with cuttlefish which probably taste better than these tofu puffs so if I am around here again I hope to try their noodles and beancurd rolls.
