Had a great time here with some fellow BBCs.
We had the Fish and Chips which was interesting.
The texture of the fish was like and jelly and the chips were not chips but waffle fries.

Drink pink for a cause

Came here again for a drink.
This time got the new pink drink and $20 gets donated to a local charity.
The drink was quite slushy and cold with a strong banana taste with hints of beetroot and other fruits and veggies.

I rarely eat claypot rice because the smelly claypot makes the rice stink.
Anyway, tried this place because there are quite a lot of positive comments.
Before trying the food, the choices on the menu are quite good, they had modern ones such as lamb and cumin, spicy seafood and the traditional ones such as preserved sausage and taro mash.
Anyway, ordered the preserved sausage and taro mash and the lamb and cumin.
Both were good because they did not have that smelly pot smell.
The rice was hot and fragrant flavoured by the delicious soy sauce and the claypot toppings were good too.
Although I liked it, it gets me wondering why people like it? The tasty toppings or because the pot doesn't smell?

Stir fried glass noodles with fermented beancurd sauce is a really tasty dish.
I have had it so many times in this hidden joint in Wan Chai but not many places serve it in HK.
Came here randomly and the glass noodles with fermented beancurd sauce was on the menu so tried it.
It was quite pricey compared to Wan Chai and the eateries around the area.
When it came, it was a rather tiny portion and I suppose there was quite a fair bit of seafood but mostly frozen with two fake crab sticks (surumi).

Unfortunately the taste was not right because the chili was overpowering and there was not any fragrant fermented beancurd taste.
There were too many chili seeds in the noodles, which I had to spit out and the taste was the typical sweet Hong Kong taste with charred wok aroma.

[Review 4714] Durian series @ 許留山 Hui Lau Shan

I love durian so stopped by to try the durian cheese series.
There is a durian cheese puff and durian filo pastry cups.

The pairing of cheese and durian is a bit weird with two pungent ingredients but in HK, they don't really use strong cheeses as expected, the cheese just gave it a stringy texture without really giving it any cheesy flavour.
It is a hot pastry which is quite nice with sweet warm durian filling and some chewy texture from the cheese.
The durian pastry reminded me of this sweet quesadilla which was filled with green tea and cheese at Tai On building.

The other durian filo pastry cup was lovely durian flesh on crispy filo pastry but there was a strange fizzy taste to it.

[Review 4713] Localized pizzas @ PizzaExpress

I love PizzaExpress when they first opened in Hong Kong because it tasted just like the PizzaExpress in the UK but the menu has changed.
The pizza base is not thin and crispy.
For lunch, there is not much choice especially the pasta with only one choice of carbonara.
The salad was really good, crisp salad drizzled in sharp dressing.
For two persons, it is better to get the set for two to share because the pizza is really big and it works out to be around $6x per person.
The pizza wasn't nice because the pizza base was chewy and thicker than the normal bases served in UK and the cheese was just stringy and tasteless mozzarella.
Although the cheese wasn't good, the ham and mushroom were good and luckily they didn't use Asian mushrooms.
Thankfully the staff at this branch were really friendly and nice.

Got some pontikeges from here because they looked good but they were dry and hard.
The cheese was weird because it was sweet and you couldn't taste any cheese so why it is cheese flavoured.

To be honest, they were a bit overpriced especially when they don't taste good.
