I have always wanted to try the chicken tortellini soup but the last time it was on the menu, it was sold out at 1:40pm and the guy forgot to save me some even though I ordered it on the phone~!!!!!!

This time they had it but it was a scorching hot day to have hot soup.
Not the ideal day for soup but tortellini is not always on the menu.

While I was sitting there, it was funny how these old local men would stop and look and me then the shop!
It seems that they have never noticed this shop before and its not the first time I have sat there eating and they just look at me dining there mesmerized! (what the hell is wrong with u guys).

Finally a local young lad came in after looking at the menu for a while.
I was expecting him to choose salad on a hot day but he chose soup!!!!
The smell of their chili con carne is so tempting but then the salads and soups are also tempting!!

As expected it was healthy and loaded with vegetables, it was a clear soup with delicious pieces of tortellini it.
I burnt my tongue again drinking soup as I always do because its hard to wait for it to cool down!

As well as soup, I tried the curry quinoa, which had a lovely bits of chickpeas in it, but I wish the curry flavouring was stronger.

Then I had the colourful cabbage slaw which had a light but tasty dressing that was not too heavy.

A non ramen surprise
2015-05-30  1326 瀏覽
A good bowl of ramen in my opinion is a good broth with good ramen.

The broth here is worth trying because it is made of fish and sakura shrimps.

Normally I don’t choose tsukenmen (noodles dipped in broth) but here you can add $20 and they use that broth to put rice and cheese in it to make risotto after you have finished the noodles.

Depending on how much broth that is left over after you finish, the result is different ranging from risotto to soupy rice.

My tsukemen came with a lovely strong sakura shrimp broth.

I quickly finished it because I was more interested in the rice and cheese.
When your ready, they will add rice and cheese and cook it until the cheese has melted and then garnish it with a spoon of parmesan cheese.



As expected, I really liked it because the broth was strong and made the rice delicious, the cheese was nice and stringy but lacks a cheese taste so locals will probably like this dish.

Although the menu is pictorial simple, I found the tick sheet more comprehendible.


You choose broth noodles or tsukemen.

I didn’t try the beef offal ramen but it was quite Chinese with pieces of beef tripe and other goodies.

[Review 4357] Stay tuned for exciting lunches @ 豐樂里 Viral Fusion

The reason why this is titled stay tuned for exciting lunches is that you have to keep an eye on their FB to see the latest menu that excites you.

A few weeks ago I didn't check their FB so I missed their Emerald Horizon which is green pea risotto with sakura shrimps topped with a huge prawn.
This week the honey chicken with crispy rice balls sounds good but if your going on a Saturday you have to get their early because 1:30pm is the last order!

oolong ginseng tea:
started off with the oolong ginseng which has a slight bitter sweet aftertaste.

Insalata di polpo:
 0 讚好

This was baby octopus and cherry tomatoes in a grape vinegar dressing.
I found the octopus surprisingly tasty which was apparently tasteless a few weeks ago because the guy on the other table had it before.
The salad beneath was fresh and the grape sauce was really appetizing.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
pork and plum:
 0 讚好

This was roast suckling pig with plum, apple and mint sauce.

I ended up asking for more mint sauce because it was really tangy and the suckling pig was nicely done, the skin was extremely light and crispy and the meat was really tender.
Normally I don't order suckling pig because they tend to be oily and fatty but this one was scrumptious.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
dessert:

The dessert didn't fail because there was honey cake, ice cream and a flawless pudding but when you browse the desserts they have served, this one did not excite me!
But it all depends on what they have set for the menu that week!

The other exciting desserts they had were:
Maple mandarin in a smooth crystal jelly
peanut filled dumplings in a tapioca concoction
fresh peach cooked in port wine served with icecream
red bean & green tea cake with coconut pudding (see FB photo)
[the photos on their FB are more convincing than the stuff I just listed!!!]

As I always believe, good food is being there at the right moment and time.

The cute little apple sitting on top of this cake captivated me so I decided to get it.

Apple cinnamon mousse cake:
The little apple was well crafted because inside there was delicious apple mousse with chunks of apple in it and the apple chocolate shell was nice and thin.

Beneath the mousse was this delicious crumbly base.

I had no expectations for this place because all the food in Quarry Bay and Tai Koo are sub par.
As it was a takeout, I couldn’t be bothered to complain and Thanks to Hong Kong’s stupid no plastic bag policy I barely managed to carry all that in the rain without the paper bag turning into wet tissue!

Anyway, lamb was pretty weird, it tasted like beef, the rice was nice but there was no turmeric flavour at all and it reminds me of rice mixed with chicken oil served with Hainan chicken.

All other places have sauces for kebabs and doners but there was no sauce given for the stuff I had.

They were soft and sweet with a firm jelly texture covered in starchy yellow bean powder but the sweetness was a bit too sweet for my liking.

Thanks to Ivy for getting this box of Warabi mochi from my favourite musabi place Hana Musubi.
The warabi mochis were soft and sweet with a firm jelly texture covered in grassy green tea powder.
