Tried this place in April and decided to go again because I liked the vegetable tea.

Previously tried this and really liked it so this time I got the LARGE size.
I didn't realize it was that big! oops!

The vegetable tea here was really nice and wholesome with finely chopped snow peas, vegetables, Chinese sausages, puffed rice, peanuts, glass vermicelli and dried squid too.
 2 讚好

I really enjoyed it because it reminded of me minestrone but in Chinese form but on this visit it was a little too salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Salted crab, urchin, oysters with rice:
All of the delights are really salty so you only need a tiny bit to go with rice.
The urchin had a creamy bitter taste which was quite nice but the piece of crab was too tiny to get anything out of it.
The oyster is also nice and the saltiness makes the oyster taste even stronger.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beef balls:
I didn't try them but my friend said they were really springy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Noodles:

They were chewy and very filling and the broth tastes the same as the vegetable tea above.

This shop stands out because of the baby blue decor and cute logo.
As well as the bright sofas, the bowls are cute.
Tried it because some expats were dining there.

Pickles:
They look a bit different from the product picture but they taste appetizing with a hint of spiciness.

I liked the pickles with the rice because not many places pair pickles with mince but again there was as much pickles as the photos.
The pickles were pretty decent with a strong tart taste that will make you finish the pearl rice.

[Review 4441] Something sweet in the neighbourhood @ Munchies

I love donuts with icing but not many places in HK have it so this is the place to go.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Earl grey donut with earl grey icecream:

The donut with earl grey icing was really nice because there was a strong earl grey flavour.
I also opted for EG icecream in the donut which I should have changed when I tried some because it was too sweet but there was a hoard of people behind so I couldn't be bothered to choose a different flavour.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
earl grey cookie:

The cookie was soft and moist with a nice sugary taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
cinnamon donut:

This was another good donut for sugar cravings with lovely cinammon powder and sugar coating.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Nice view at the back and the staff were really nice.

[Review 4440] Chiuchow fare @ 太平飯店 Tai Ping Kitchen

北角渣華道124號地下D舖
Shop D, G/F, 124 Java Road, North Point
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/chiuchow-fare-e2466301

For Chiu Chow marinated dishes Ar Hung's delicacies used to the number one choice in North point but they have moved.
This place serves similar fare to Ar Hung and it is good that they have an ENGLISH menu.

One of the chefs is young and cute.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Noodles mixed with house sauce and BBQ Pork:
The noodles were tasty with lovely slices of BBQ pork but the alkaline taste was a little strong.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Goose liver in Chinese wine:
The goose livers were infused with a fragrant strong wine taste but it would be great if the texture could be softer and not so dry.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Rice with chicken, goose, tofu and egg:
The chicken stole the show because it was really silky and tasty, while the goose texture could have been softer.
Anyway, the sauce that they put on the rice was good because it was not that oily.

As well as good food, they serve fine teas by The London tea company so we had quite a few teas because we were there for brunch.

The name is not what it seems, I was expecting herbs such as lemongrass but it was Roobois which has a smoky burnt taste.

For this one I was expecting citrus fruit but it had a strong Lemongrass fragrance with a fruity taste.

[Review 4438] Saint Honore’s new Earl Grey Swiss Roll @ 聖安娜餅屋 Saint Honore Cake Shop

04/07/2015
聖安娜餅屋 Saint Honore Cake Shop
銅鑼灣堅拿道西10號地下E號舖
Shop E, G/F, 10 Canal Road West, Causeway Bay
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/saint-honores-new-earl-grey-swiss-roll-e2465850

The fancy Swiss rolls at Saint Honore are really nice.

So far, the flavours they had are:
Green tea with mango (don’t like mango)
http://www.openrice.com/en/hongkong/review/central-saint-honore-cake-shop/2449532?con=rvw
Fruit roll (haven’t tried)
Okinawan brown sugar (really good)
http://www.openrice.com/en/hongkong/review/sheung-wan-saint-honore-cake-shop/2447571?con=rvw
Earl Grey tea

My favourites are the Okinawan brown sugar and the new Earl Grey.
 3 讚好

The Earl Grey roll is filled with Australian milk mousse, Earl Grey jelly and mochi.
 2 讚好

I really liked it because every part of the roll was delicious from the fragrant but not too sweet roll that had a natrual Earl Grey taste to the lovely Earl Grey jelly and mousse in the middle.

The mochi element was a bit weird because the texture was sticky and sweet.

[Review 4437]Lobster burger @ Burgeroom

Shop D, G/F, Food Street, 50-56 Paterson Street, Fashion Walk, Causeway Bay
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/lobster-burger-e2465834

Decided to try the lobster burger because the product picture was stunning with a huge lobster head.
As I was hungry I added a portobello mushroom as well.

The lobster meat was tucked nicely in the bun with the claw meat put at the front of the burger to make it look nice, garnished with the lobster head.

It was really delicious with juicy slices of tomato and creamy avocodo.

For drinks, there were lots of options including green tea latte but I opted for the chocolate and hazelnut drink.
The hazelnut and chocolate was not too sweet but the hazelnut taste was not strong enough.
As for the earl grey tea, it was aromatic and pleasant to drink.
