To be honest I was here for the gimmick, it was the pudding on dry ice.
There were new items so tried them as well.
The White Chili Jigoku Ramen seems interesting.

This was the moment I was waiting for!

Basically there was dry ice in the bucket which gave off this pretty cloud of smoke.
The pudding itself was silky and not too sweet with a strong white chocolate taste.

Good Shanghai joint in Yuen Long
2015-07-27  959 瀏覽
I don't normally trek into Yuen Long but went here because I heard the clams were good and they also serve good Shanghainese food.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Clams in Huadiao wine:
花雕醉蜆 $68

As expected, these clams were delicious, you could see how dark they were which meant that the clams have been soaked in wine for some time.
The clams were really tasty with a fragrant wine taste and the wine was not too overpowering that you could still taste the clams as well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Platter:
五福併盤$168
 0 讚好

The platter consisted of meat terrine, jellyfish, beef shin, braised gluten and chicken with bean sheets pasta in sesame sauce.
My favourites were the jellyfish and bean sheets pasta because the sesame sauce was light and not too overpowering.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Emperor fried rice:
皇帝炒飯 $88
 0 讚好

The fried rice was nicely done, the grains or rice were not stuck together and not too oily with lots of seafood in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Peking duck:
北京烤鴨＄328

There was quite a lot of duck meat sliced from the plump duck which is paired with the pancakes, sauce, cucumbers and spring onions.
The pancakes were a bit too thick for my liking but the duck was meaty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Chinese ham, lotus seeds in honey:
蜜汁火腿蓮子 ($168)

Basically you put the ham, crispy sheets in between the steamed bun to eat.
The sweetness of the ham and crispy bits paired together nicely.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Shanghai dumplings:

As you can see, there is so much broth in the dumplings and the meat filling inside the dumpling is fresh swishing round in a rich and sweet broth.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
If I am in Yuen Long again, I will come here again for the clams and the food comes fast.

[Review 4489] Burst egg yolk @ 時時樂餐廳 See See Look Restaurant

Came here randomly because I haven't tried this place.
It was good that they had an English menu which serves MICED MEAT, SOFE DRINK and STATY BEEF.
I was deciding between the egg and tomato and the fried egg and luncheon meat.
In the end I got the luncheon meat.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
soup:
The soup was just the usual Chinese broth.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
fried egg and luncheon meat:
It was good that they give you the soy sauce separately so you can decide how much you want to add but the thing that let it down was the burst egg yolk and the rice was too soggy.
The luncheon meat was soft and tasteless but the egg was quite nice especially the egg white because it was delicate and fragrant.

[Review 4488] Chip In Fish & Chips branches out from Sai Kung @ Chip In Fish & Chips Bistro

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/chip-in-fish-chips-branches-out-from-sai-kung-e2472276

I am so glad Chip In Fish & Chips has branched out of Sai Kung because SK is so inconvenient and this place is much more spacious.
There is more on the menu compared to SK and they serve pies and desserts.

My favourite cheese and onion pastie was sold out so went for chips and a jacket.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Fresh lemonade:
Started off with fresh lemonade which is made of freshly squeezed lemon, water and some syrup.
The sweetness was just right and it was refreshlingly cold.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Jacket potato with two fillings:

For jackets, you get to choose two fillings so I chose the bacon and sausage.
The jacket was buttered so it was fluffy and silky complemented by the tasty bits of bacon and sausages.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Chips:
As usual, I have to have chips!
They tasted great with lots of salt and vinegar.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Taywells mint chocolate icecream:

For dessert I had icecream and the mint chocolate is not green because there is no colouring.
It had a nice mint taste with pieces of dark chocolate in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Taywells pistachio icecream:

The pistachio icecream was also good too because the pistachio taste was strong and natrual.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Browine:

The brownie was a bit hard but I hope to see them do fried brownies!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Will be back soon for the pies!

Walked past because I was going to RAMAS for dinner.
I wasn't intending to get anything but they had this new Shio-koji vegetables and okra soup.
As it was after 5pm, there was a 30% discount.

Shio-koji vegetables and okra soup:

The soup was like ordinary vegetable soup and it was not thick.

It had a hint of miso in it and there was not much okra in it but mainly pieces of celery and carrots.
I would have liked it if the soup was thick.

They had Avgolemono soup that day so I had to try it because I have never tried Avgolemono before.
Avgolemono is Greek and made with egg and lemon juice mixed with broth.
It has rice, orzo, pastina, or tapioca in the soup which makes it thick like congee.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Avogolemono soup:

It tasted like Chinese congee but nicer because there was blended chicken meat it in and it was light but thick in texture.
It was wholesome and warming with bits of rice in it and much better than congee because it is not oily.

[Review 4485] Strawberry slush bucket @ 許留山 Hui Lau Shan

Had a $10 coupon so used it on the Strawberry slush bucket.
I wanted to try the longan but it was out of stock.

The strawberry slush had strawberries blended in it so it had a natrual strawberry taste and it was icy and cooling.
Beneath it was crystal jelly noodles which were sweet and chewy.
Hope to try the longnan flavour next!
