Thanks to famous blogger SeaBlue for telling me the latest restaurant openings in SK.
I was lucky they were still open around 8 which is late in SK hours.

They had cakes and coffee.

Sadly they didn't have tea so I ordered a latte.


I am not a fan of coffee so it's hard to comment but it had a strong milky taste and it was really nice of the barrister to adjust the coffee to make it taste light.

[Review 4549] Back at the Green Waffle Diner again @ Green Waffle Diner

Green Waffle Diner
中環嘉咸街35-39號嘉豪大廈地舖
G/F, Kar Ho Building, 35-39 Graham Street, Central
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/back-at-the-green-waffle-diner-again-e2480941

Since my last visit a few years ago they now have another branch in CWB but I still prefer the branch in Central.
Although there is more variety at CWB, the choices are more popular with locals.
At this place, you just can’t miss the skillets, sandwiches, benedicts and waffles.

Here was what we had:

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Green tea milkshake:
 0 讚好

This was a good thick milkshake with a strong green tea taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Mac and cheese:

This was cheesy mac and cheese that is best shared because it can get a bit heavy after having some but I liked the macaroni they used because it was proper macaroni and not the local ribbed ones.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Steak and egg hash skillet:

Basically, I loved the crispy potato bits, mushroom and cheese which went together nicely.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Eggs benedict:

The eggs benedict was nicely done with a thick slice of ham which made it tasty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Fried chicken and waffles:

As expected, the chicken was springy with a crisp coating.
For the sides, you can choose potatoes or melon slices.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Pandan waffle:

The pandan waffle is the star of this place because it has a aromatic pandan scent and taste but I wish they served pandan milkshake as well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Bucktwheat waffle:

The buckwheat waffle had a bit more texture which helps digestion.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
The green tea latte was really pretty and deserves a picture but I found it a bit too bitter and grassy.

[Review 4548] Simplest and cheapest basic burger @

For most people, the McDonald's hamburger is probably the first burger we had in life.
After having all these expensive burgers I felt like a simple beef burger so got McDonalds hamburger.

The burger is always consistent in taste and only fails when there is not enough sauce or the patty/bun is too dry but otherwise it should be ok.
The beef burger was ok on this visit with sufficient tomato ketchup and mustard to make it tasty contrasted by the sour slice of guerkin which you either like or hate.

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

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/giants-eggs-e2479767

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

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/supersupergirl-loves-cats-e2479752


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.
++++++++++++++++
