Thanks to foodie mungkk for getting me these cookies.
I have always wanted to try something here but there are too many good places in Tai Hang.
These cookies were crumbly and buttery.

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/charcoal-toast-e2453489
Went here because no one was dining there but it makes sense because the food takes ages to come.
Ordered the cheese and ham toasties which comes with a side of weird salad because it is dressed in sweet sesame sauce.

burnt toast:

It was so uniformly black on the burnt edges that it had a lovely bitter taste.
This is probably the prized activated charcoal that health shops are trying to sell!!
The ham was a too salty as well.

[Review 4341] Not green tea but melon pudding! @ 東海堂 Arome Café

When I saw this, I thought it was green tea but it was melon so I decided to try it.
I liked the layer of melon mousse and chunks of melon but the melon jelly on top was too sweet.
The dessert cup design was quite nice because it had a irregular shape that confuses the eye.

YMK is famous for rice noodles but my favourite dishes are the risottos.
I got bored of the risotto so had the all day set.

This time I tried the all day meal which had scrambled egg and I loved it because the egg was fluffy and fragrant.

I wish it was sold separately because I don’t really want the noodles or the slice of Chinese ham!!!

[Review 4339] A new discovery in Kwai Hing @ MX
22/05/2015
MX
葵涌興芳路新葵興商場2樓1A號舖
Shop 1A, 2/F, Sun Kwai Hing Shopping Mall, Hing Fong Road, Kwai Chung
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/a-new-discovery-in-kwai-hing-e2452855
Kwai Hing has finally got a decent eatery because there are not many good places to eat round here.
I used to curse my boss who ate the same dish in the same restaurant everyday that I went for another job elsewhere because there were more food options.
The style at MX is relaxed and you can take it easy while you eat, hence the slogan:
TAKE EAT EASY!
Octopus users have an advantage because you can order and pay on the self ordering machine which has English too!
After you have ordered, you are given a device which vibrates with red lights when the food is ready.
At some tables, they have USB chargers and there is also free wifi which you can use for a period of time.
There is self service hot and cold water.
After you finish the meal, they encourage you to return the trays and you are rewarded with sweets.
Anyway, here was the food I had.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beef with cheese, black pepper rice teppanyaki:
The highlight of this is the CHEESE!~ See the cheese on top!!
After mixing it, it was nice and cheesy with delicious slices of beef in it and the black pepper adds more dimension to it.
For extra flavour, there is a side of sauce that you can add.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Curry beef in a pot with rice:
The curry comes in a cute metal pot and the curry was strong and spicy with big chunks of beef in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
boneless Hainanese chicken:
As well as delicious chicken and sauces, I loved the mountain of thinly sliced julienne cabbage in a refreshing yuzu sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
chilled tomato with sesame sauce (add on option):
This is one of my favourite appetizers, tomato with sesame sauce that is not too sweet.
The tomato was sweet and juicy with thick sesame sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Salad (add on option):
A good balance of greens to the meal with a side of salad and dressing.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
green tea pudding with red beans (add on option):
The green tea pudding was creamy topped with starchy red beans on top.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
sweetcorn pudding (add on option):
As well as the green tea pudding, the sweetcorn was also fun to eat because it had an interesting mix of flavours with bits of sweetcorn in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
grape soda with aloe:
My friend tried this and said there were lots of aloe in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
orange and passion fruit soda:
I had the orange and passion fruit soda which was a refreshing drink on a hot day with summery passionfruit.

[Review 4338] purple dream @ Small Potato Ice Creamery

Small Potato Ice Creamery
銅鑼灣希雲街28-30號地下
G/F, 28-30 Haven Street, Causeway Bay
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/purple-dream-e2452346
Went here because of the purple potato softserve.
Attempted to go before but there was a big crowd so I didn't bother wasting my time so went another day when there was less people.
As I was greedy I went for the mix which was salted caramel and sweet potato but unfortunately there was more salted caramel icecream than sweet potato which can only be seen on top so I couldn't really taste the sweet potato.
The doriyaki filled with sweet potato was nice though and not too sweet.
I will definitely come back again for the sweet potato icecream on its own.

[Review 4337] Troisieme La Creperie dans L'Hong kong @ La Crêperie

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/troisieme-la-creperie-dans-lhong-kong-e2452054
I was excited when this third branch opened after two successful branches in Hong Kong.
Apart from Hong Kong, they also have branches in Shanghai!
Since my last visit, there are other dishes as well as crepes.
The restaurant was laid out with wooden tables and chairs, lighthouse salt and pepper shakers just like the other branches.
It was like walking into a restaurant by the seaside.
As they have just opened, there were not many people and gradually the restaurant got busy into the evening.
There is a lot of promotion on French food this month because of the LeGourMay so I was able to try some special galettes.
I had the duck confit galette and a sweet crepes.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
La cannette:
This was a savory galette with duck confit, emmenthal cheese, bell peppers fondue and its piment d'espelette jelly.
The galette was crispy and chewy with evenly sized holes on the surface. The confit was delicious with a hint of sweetness from the bell peppers and there was a hint of spiciness from the chili jelly.
Duck in French is Canard which is why this is called a cannette as it is a galette.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Jus de Citron
I know there were lots of fancy crepes on the menu but I just wanted something simple so I chose this which just had lemon, butter and sugar.
The crepe was chewy and the lemon juice made me hungry again.
I loved the strong lemon juice taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Strawberry fizz:
To finish off I had the strawberry fizz which was fruity and cooling.
