Came here ages ago with my friend.
The restaurant was hip and modern with creative dishes.
Had the Sweet and sour pork with pineapple buns.
The sweet and sour pork was served in this really cute saucepan.
Curry beef brisket:
The curry brisket was my favourite, I loved the creamy curry sauce which you put on the tartlets.
Both dishes were great fun because there was a fun DIY factor to it.
The only downside was the portion size.

[Review 4223] Japanese inspired jellies @ 許留山 Hui Lau Shan
03/04/2015
許留山 Hui Lau Shan
大角咀海泓道1號奧海城3期UG101號舖
UG101, UG/F, Olympian City Phase 3, 1 Hoi Wang Road, Tai Kok Tsui
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/japanese-inspired-jellies-e2437983
I am not a regular of Hui Lau Shan but went there to try this new jelly dessert that has flowers in it.
There are three different types of flowers in the jelly which are dusted with green tea powder or mung bean powder.
The labelling of the jelly series were awful because it does not indicate what the three different flowers are.
The desserts cost $17 takeaway or $22 dine in.
When you dine there, THEY ARE MEANT to serve the pudding with the flower side up and sprinkle powder on top like the picture but at this branch she just gave me a spoon which is ludicrous because I was paying for takeaway food at dine in prices.
She finally put it in a dessert bowl when I asked about the green tea powder, otherwise I would have been conned for green tea powder.
Even so, they should give you green tea powder with the takeaway.
Flower lovers will be disappointed at the lack of floral taste but it was ok for me because I can’t stand the taste of flowers and the bitterness of the green tea powder was good to balance the sweetness of the jelly.
As for the texture of the jelly, it was firm and chewy like konjac.

Cheese fondue:

As usual, I had my favourite cheese fondue and the cheese was gooey and cheesy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Grilled salmon jaw:
Underneath the crispy skin was soft and silky salmon.

Monkfish liver:

These were cubes of velvety monkfish liver drizzled in appetizing dressing.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
S'mores:
Everyone is going to love s'mores because they are delicious with chewy grilled marshmallows sandwiched in between the crackers.
The crackers they used this time were better than the ones on my last visit because they were crispier.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Foie gras toast:
0 讚好
I loved the way it was drizzled with generous balsalmic which made it even more refreshing and the foie gras had this velvety melt in your mouth texture.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Grilled white eels:
0 讚好
Before trying this, I didn't know that white eels were different because I just assumed all eels were the same containing lots of bones.
This was surprisingly delicious because the skin was so crunchy and the eel was delicate and delicious.

I had quite a while before dinner so went here for a drink.
For non-alcoholic drinks they had Horchata and Agua Fresca.
In the end I got the Agua Fresca.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Agua Fresca:
This was a mix of cucumber and lemon but unfortunately I found it too sweet for my liking.

[Review 4220] Tomato day! @ 豚王 Butao Ramen

豚王 Butao Ramen
中環威靈頓街69號
69 Wellington Street, Central
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/curry-ramen-e2437949
Went here ages ago.
The food was good but the service was really rude hence it was not on my priority list to share.
I had tomato noodles with pickled soup but the broth was not really sour and there were not much pickles given.
The pork patty with salted fish was quite good because it had a nice crispy surface and the patty was moist.
The squid patty was tasteless with a rancid oil taste.

Unfortunately they were sweet potatoes, if I knew they were sweet potatoes I would not have got them.
I interpreted the menu wrongly because I thought it meant golden potatoes.

Anyway, I really disliked it because the sweet potatoes were really sweet which tasted weird with the savoury coating.
