After trying the melon dessert cup, I got the melon tart the next day.
It was visually prettier and tasted better.
The tart was the usual crumbly short crust base with a layer of chocolate, cream, a small piece of cake topped with glazed pieces of melon on top.
I liked it because it tasted natrual with cream and melon.

Great place for gatherings in Kowloon City

Gathered with friends to have some seafood and Chinese dishes here.
On the menu, they have monthly specials and the Canadian lobster with noodles was on promotion for $88 (the normal price is $218).

Here was what we had:

Canadian lobster with e-fu noodles in cheese sauce
 0 讚好

The portion was big with noodles covered in thick sauce topped with lobster pieces.
Each piece of lobster was succulent and the cheese sauce was creamy with a mild cheese flavouring.

Dalian abalone steamed with fruit peel $128
 0 讚好

The abalone was springy and the fruit peel flavour made them appetizing.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Straw mushrooms, sea cucumber and prawn roe pot $88

There were lots of straw mushrooms compared to the sea cucumber in a rich gravy flavoured by the prawn roes.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steamed razor clams $196
 0 讚好

The clams were springy with a strong garlic taste and the glass vermicelli was really tasty because it has absorbed all the flavouring from the clams and flavourings.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steamed scallops $176

The scallops were steamed the same way as the razor clams topped with garlic and glass vermicelli.
Personally I liked the scallops more because it has a sweeter taste and softer texture,
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Clams in salt and pepper broth $88

The clams were plump and juicy and the broth had a lovely peppery taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Roasted pigeon

This was a classic, there was soft pigeon meat beneath the crispy skin.
r★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Wintermelon soup

Finished the meal with this nourishing wintermelon soup.
It was decorated with seafood with a huge chunk of wintermelon that is mushy and healthy to eat.

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.

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.

All day meal:
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

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.
