Fiery place

Went here ages ago and tried some spicy dishes.
Close to City Garden Hotel, this place is a popular place for Mainlanders who like spicy foods and they can pay using the RMB with a 20% discount as well.

The mouth watering chicken was a good start, tender pieces of chicken drenched in fiery chili oil.

Then we had the prawns in chili which was not very spicy even though it looked spicy.

The chicken on the other hand was very spicy and crispy.

[Review 4546] Giants eggs? @ 爭鮮外帶壽司 Sushi Take-Out

From time to time there will be some interesting items at Sushi Take Out.
This time there was this Japanese dessert which seems to read Giant egg in Chinese.
As well as the dessert I got the sushi which I didn't like because the sauce drizzled on top was sweet so it ruined it.
The dessert thing looked like mochi that was shaped in a jelly mold dusted in dessicated coconut.
Inside there was red bean mousse which was too sweet and the mochi was nice but it didn't really have any special taste.

[Review 4545] Supersupergirl loves cats @ Cat tune

I love cats and this place is conveniently located in North Point and there are a good variety of cats.
They charge by the hour and the you get to choose a drink from the list.
I chose the iced pineapple red tea which tasted natrual and not too sweet.
There was a lid screwed on top which makes it hygienic in a cafe with cats but I am not sure if this applies to other drinks on the list such as milkshakes.

Sleeping beauties:


The place is really good but I found it a bit uncomfortable sitting on the cushions because they don't really have any chairs.
It was nice of them to give me a thin blanket because I had a short skirt on.

[Review 4544] An odd afternoon in an odd place with odd food @ 品味餐廳 Prime Deli

I would describe the feeling as oddity at this Chinese chachaanteng because it is located in a middle of market serving odd dishes!
It was weird because they had the croque madame and this Chinese style ginger pork trotters French toast.
T7 and T10
++++++++++++++++
croque madame:

The toast was a bit too thick and it was Chinese bread with grilled cheese but there was not enough cheese and the egg was RAW.


I tried to tell them the egg was raw, but they didn’t get it and said it was meant to be raw but I don’t think the EGG WHITE is meant to be raw if you look at croque madames at other French restaurants.
++++++++++++++++
Chinese style ginger pork trotters:

This was surprisingly good because it was not the typical Chinese toast dipped in egg but it was rolled like a burrito filled with thin slices of shabu shabu beef drizzled with Chinese style ginger pork trotters sauce.
The funny thing is that this does not contain any pork trotters!!
It tasted good because the sauce was just like sweet and sour sauce with a hint of ginger and the rolls were crispy filled with beef.
++++++++++++++++

Gingerbread pancakes:

Tried this because the description wsa quite nice, Christmas in a pancake, lightly spiced pancake served with apple compote.
I was a bit disappointed because the pancakes were dry and not fluffy.
As for the taste, it was mainly bitter with a strong flour taste and the ginger taste was really faint.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Chai latte:

The chai latte faired better because the use of Monins syrup and it had a fragrant cinnamon taste.

Tried the new Chuckling chicken n bacon burger by McDonalds.
Basically there is a piece of crispy chicken, cheese, lettuce with mayonnaise in the burger.
The chicken was nice and crispy with a strong herb taste but I didn't like the bacon because it was not crispy.
It would be delicious if they used the crispy one from the #creatyourtaste burger.

[Review 4541] My secret and cozy cabin @ The Cabin Cafe & Restaurant

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/my-secret-and-cozy-cabin-e2479587

I rarely go to SK because the transport there is so troublesome.
The Cabin is located in the heart of SK yet not many people know this place because when everyone gets off the minibus they head to the town.
Anyway, found out about The cabin on openrice and discovered it was British fare so I had to try it.

Since K's British closed down I haven't had a decent meal.
The Cabin made my day because the decor is like a typical room in the UK matched with the chairs and tables.
At the front of the restaurant, I liked the display.

I went a bit crazy and ate too much like the first time at K's British because the food was just too good.

Here was what I had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mini Yorkshire Pudding Canapés:
This was such a SMART canape, it was like a sunday roast summarized in a Yorkshire pudding. It was a mini Yorkshire pudding filled with a slice of juicy roast beef topped with creamy horseradish which had a lovely mustard kick to it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cottage pie with chips:
The cottage pie was divine with lovely chunks of meat and young carrot slices that were sweet in a rich gravy that had a fragrant Thyme flavour.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Bangers and chips:

This was damn good because I love pork sausages and these sausages were too good.
Found out they were Walls Sausages.
The bangers and chips was actually a kids meal but because I ate so much I asked them to leave the beans.
It was the best sausage I have ever tasted because the sausage skin was amazingly crispy like Filo pastry, you could hear the crispiness of the sausage when you put your knife and fork to it yet the middle of the sausage was soft and moist with a yummy pork and herb taste.

Both the sausages and pie were served with chips and they are chippy chips which are peeled, hand-cut and fried so they have a soft texture with a shiny surface and a natrual sweet potatoey taste.
I asked for vinegar to go with these divine chips.

I am so happy, there is another place that has decent chips so I can't wait to see Fish and Chips on the menu.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Lemon Meringue:

Had the lemon meringue to finish and it was sweet with a strong lemon curd at the bottom.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Apple crumble with custard:

I had the apple crumble too because it was served with REAL custard and not FAKE VANILLA sauce.
The apple crumble wasn't too sweet and tasted delicious with real custard which I found comforting.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
vallebelbo fior di vigna moscato:
 1 讚好

This was complimentary to celebrate their recent opening.
I don't drink wine but it was sweet and aromatic so I actually liked it because it tasted like a dessert wine.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Can't wait to come back and hopefully there will be other new items on the menu.
