Went to this market held by foodie and it was more popular than anticipated because you had to queue at the entrance to go in.
I was immediately captivated by 3/3rd which was just by the entrance selling salads and grilled cheese toasts.
It was now or never to try it because their restaurant is located in Aberdeen which is a place I would never go but saying that it is very tempting to go now that I have tried their salads.
Tallore is my favourite place for salads because their creativity is endless but the salads here are just as good especially their cooked dishes.
For cooked dishes I love the worldwide flavours they have such as:
Cajun, African beef, Gumbo, Burmese chicken, Brazilian chicken, Yucatan chicken, Moghul beef, saffron fish and more according to their FB.
Salads they had at the stall:
Roasted aubergine with saffron yoghurt
Sweet potato wedges
Peas & Beans with Mustard Seeds & Tarragon Salad
Wild Rice salad
As well as salads they have the grilled cheese toast made with a combo of comte, cheddar and raclette with onions!
I would of had that but I was full
For desserts they have pretty meringue mushrooms.
The name 3/3rd is interesting if you look at it from a maths point of view, it means 1.

Peas & Beans with Mustard Seeds & Tarragon Salad:
This was amazing, I loved the vibrant green peas and there was so much going on in terms of flavour.
It tasted really exotic with an interesting spring onion and ginger taste even though it was not in the salad.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Wild rice salad :
quinoa, basmati and wild rice, dried apricots, pomegranite seeds.
The rice was good too but it could have been softer because I loved the basmati grains and quinoa that was mixed in it.
The apricots and pomegranite seeds gave it a lovely sweet flavour.

[Review 4268] Chinese herbal cookies! @ 官燕棧 Imperial Bird's Nest

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/chinese-herbal-cookies-e2443104
I didn't expect this shop would be listed on Openrice but it is!!
I bought these cookies because the flavours were unusual!
There were three boxes per pack with three flavours of 8 individually packed cookies.
Cordiceps militaris cookie
Monkey mushroom and black sesame cookie
Black fungus with black sesame cookie
Each flavour is clearly labelled.
Despite the different flavours, all three taste really similar and you can't really taste the cordiceps or monkey mushroom or the black fungus!!
They just tasted like ordinary local butter cookies!

[Review 4267] Bon steak et bon frites @ Le Relais de l'Entrecôte

Le Relais de l'Entrecôte

Garden East, 222 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/bon-steak-et-bon-frites-e2443091
I love steak frites and this is the only one in Hong Kong that serves the proper fries like the ones in France.
They do not take reservations so you have to get there early.
Steak frites is only HK$288 per head for a two course dinner.
There are so many desserts to choose from!
In the day it costs HK$288 per head for a three-course lunch including a green salad with walnuts, steak-frites and a dessert of the day.
There is a lighter single portion for spring-summer from Monday-Friday, priced at HK$168. Coffee or tea is also included – with ‘dessert of the day’ at an extra HK$30.
The decor here is matched to the style in Paris.
Here was what I had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Bread:
Started off with crispy warm bread with butter that melted when you applied it.
I saved some bread for dipping the famous green sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
fresh green salad topped with delicious walnuts from Perigord:
A refreshing crisp salad which was smothered in Dijon mustard dressing and topped with walnuts from Perigord.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steak frites:
They will ask you how you want your steak and whether you want the sauce separate or on the beef.
I decided to have my beef rare and sauce separate.
When the steak arrives, they will serve the first half on your plate and the rest is kept warm and served when you're ready.
I tried the beef rare and medium rare, the rare gives a sweeter flavour but the medium rare is juicier with a strong beef aroma.
After tasting the beef on its own I dipped it generously in the famous green sauce which was divine.
The sauce is vegetarian so you can indulge on it without feeling guilty~
The traditional way of eating it is to add mustard to the green sauce to give it extra flare which brings out the beef flavour even more.
I am now going to rant about the fries because I have finally found proper FRENCH FRIES!!!
What I mean by this is freshly cut fries that are fried.
They had a natrual sweet taste with a slightly sticky texture and they were soft which is how they are meant to be.
Again, they were really delicious with mustard and dipping it in the sauce!~
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
le Vacherin du Relais:
Finished with this pretty tower made of meringues, raspberry sorbet, vanilla icecream and cream!
The crispy sweet meringue and raspberry sorbet was just heaven.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
la Crème Brûlée:
This was another great dessert that was velvety and silky.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
I will be back soon for steak frites and I recommend the steak medium rare.

Thanks to my foodie friends for getting me these.
I love Jaffa cakes and these are mini ones which are addictive.
Jaffa cakes are British and it is a Genoise sponge base with a layer of orange flavoured jelly coated with chocolate.
They were delicious frozen because I like the jelly to be chewy.
Next were the piped Marquisette biscuits which were crumbly and light with a touch of chocolate.

Since the last visit, the staff have changed to locals and for the pastas you don't get to choose the type of pastas anymore such as buccatini or capellini.
Started with some tea.
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fried portobello with chicken strips, bacon, brown sauce and rocket:
Previously tried this at the Kennedy town branch.
It was my favourite because the coating absorbed the tasty brown sauce which tasted like Marmite.
In the middle there was a big juicy portobello mushroom.
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beetroot & Rocket:
The rocket was too bitter for my liking.
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Bacon and honey pizza:
Bacon lovers will love this but personally I found the bacon too fat and the honey thing is catered for local tastes.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Aglio olio:
0 讚好
Each strand was covered in olive oil and herbs but it was too spicy compared to the previous visit.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Lasagne:
The lasagne was delicious with tangy tomato sauce and minced meat filling.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tiramisu:
A light and fluffy dessert that was not too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Panna cotta:
This was creamy with a milky taste.

[Review 4264] This is worth visiting @ 灑家粥麵 Wonton Master

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/this-is-worth-visiting-e2442567
I was a bit reluctant to dine here because it is located in Kwun Tong but since it is recommended by Michelin I decided to give it a go.
The stir fried beef flat noodles are meant to be good but it was not my cup of tea so here was what I tried:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cucumber soymilk:
This was refreshing and it was blended with fresh cucumber so it was not sweetened.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Wonton noodles:
I am not keen on this but I liked the mini portion and the size of the springy wontons.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Spinach and beancurd:
The beancurd was soft and tasty with young spinach leaves beneath it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
dough stick rolls:
Although this place is famous for the beef noodles and wonton noodles, I like this dish the most because it was not oily and the crueller sticks in the middle were crispy and chewy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Stir fried rice rolls in XO sauce:
Too spicy
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
I will probably come back for the dough stick rolls and congee which I forgot to take a picture of.
