Came here in March, hence this is an outdated review.

I got the Big Fernand


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Big Fernand:

After taking a bite I was delighted because the patty was lean and pure with delicious cheese.

It was so delicious that I got another burger.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Fries:

Basically they are the fries that I like because they are not crispy and have a sweet aftertaste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
DIY burger:




For the DIY burger, I chose the raclette cheese with chives.

Again, this was good but the raclette does not taste as strong as the cheese in the first burger.

Since my last visit, I was craving for that strong broth again, but unfortunately it was bland this time and you can see how light it is compared to my first visit.

Although the broth wasn't that good I was happy because I saw Joey Yung 容祖兒 and Wilfred Lau 劉浩龍 leaving the joint right in front of me so I guess the rumour is true that they are an item.
Sammi Cheung was also there but a few weeks ago.

I love the new mooncake revolution that breaks the traditional, first they launched snowy mooncakes then the custard filled ones, now they have chocolate mooncakes as well as icecream mooncakes.
The Lucullus mooncake series range from traditional to just chocolates.
I got the Classic Treasure chocolate mooncake gift box which has 14 pieces of chocolate in it with a big chocolate in the middle that represents the mooncake.
The chocolates are great for sharing.

Contents in the box:

[Clockwise from the top left: Dark four brother, Milk pistachio coffee, red autmn leaf corn truffle, milk hazelnut crunch, Lychee truffle mini mooncake, Lotus flower truffle, Milk truffle, star hazelnut praline, dark truffle, Milk almond Lucullus, Green tea truffle, sesame truffle mini mooncake ]
The chocolate mooncake:
Ginger x Milk chocolate : Cranpucchino
The chocolates were enjoyable, especially the green tea truffle, Milk pistachio coffee and the dark truffle.

Other items in this range:

Traditional mooncakes and chocolate:

Found out from social media about this place so decided to check it out because it is located on the top floor of Star Plaza.
The setting is different from your typical bowling alleys because it is dimly lit with music pumping and wide TV screen above the pins.

I didn't bowl that night because I went for the food.

Sat by the bar and had the platter of lamb kebabs and chicken reshmi tikka with tomato chili jam.
Interestingly, it came with fried pita bread!
 0 讚好

The lamb was really tasty with lots of aromatic spices while the chicken was tender and juicy even though it was white meat.
I couldn't quite see the tomato chili jam so perhaps it was marinated into the meat.

To bowl there, it costs $410 per person including two drinks and bowling shoes are available.

Not related to the above but the security guard of this building is a bit weird!

[Review 4606] Dessert pastas @ 意蠔屋 Pasta And Oyster House

意蠔屋  Pasta And Oyster House
西灣河筲箕灣道72號千禧閣地下A舖
Shop A, Millennium Court, 72 Shau Kei Wan Road, Sai Wan Ho
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/dessert-pastas-e2488731

This place is called Pasta oyster house, which obviously specializes in oyster and pasta.
A few years ago tried the North point branch, which was great.
This time went to the Sai Wan Ho branch because there was no one in the restaurant.

For lunch, the choices are pathetic because during lunch, no one is willing to pay more and restaurants have to cook simple stuff because people only have an hour for lunch and so that they can serve more people as well.
Tried the pasta and curry, which were both disastrous.
The curry was cloyingly sweet and the tomato sauce was also sweet.
