Simple and simply delicious burger
2016-01-12 1017 瀏覽
On my previous visits, I had the Red eye reduction (brunch burger) and What food eats (vegetarian burger) but this time I decided to try basic burger which has cheese and bacon.
When it came, I was impressed because I saw beef juice drip from the burger, which meant it was going to be a juicy patty.
The beef patty was really good and I rarely eat beef burgers because there’s a lot of crap in it such as offal and elastic bits that you can’t chew.
The patty here was delicious and made of pure dry aged beef and it tasted like a coarsely minced steak that was juicy while the shriveled up bacon was crispy and tasty.
There were sauces on the table but I didn’t really need it.
The only thing that could have been better was the cheese because it was not cheesy enough.
They used to have a secret menu, which you scan the QR code to access, but they now have the secret menu printed out for your convenience because not many people will bother with it.
The secret menu is really good because it gives the menu more variety other than just a simple burger especially for those who do not eat beef will walk away like I did on the first visit until I discovered how delicious their beef burger really was.

[Review 4949] Braised pork knuckles with soybeans @ 你我濃湯米線 You & Me Noodles

Went here again and this time had rice with Braised pork knuckles with soybeans.
The knuckles were delicious with a soft gelatinous texture and it had delicious soybeans in it.
I was really annoyed with the rice though because I hate Japanese pearl rice.
They said Japanese rice was cheaper and people prefer it hence the reason they serve it.

Last time had instant noodles here but they were too salty.
Decided to try it again and asked for it to be less salty and it was not as salty as last time but still salty.
The texture of the noodles was good this time because I asked for hard noodles.

[Review 4947] More veggie burgers @ Beef & Liberty

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/more-veggie-burgers-e2532597
Not a fan of beef so I always go to Beef and Liberty when they have new veggie burgers and it is really good that they keep launching new veggie burgers.
This time they have launched a Beetroot and goats cheese burger to start the New Year, which is available until 31st of January.
The patty is made with beetroot, brown rice, kidney beans, cumin, chili and coriander topped with goats cheese and a pickled slice of beetroot.
When it came, it looked a bit like raw beef patty with a dark fuschia colour but rest assured it's vegetarian.
It was really tasty packed with beetroot and more beetroot with a touch of cumin spice mixed with creamy cheesy goats cheese.
For drinks, I didn’t feel like a heavy milkshake so went for the lemon tea, which turned out to be amazing because the tea base is Earl Grey tea.

[Review 4946] Dimsum at Happy Valley @ 壹玖捌叁 Hong Kong Cuisine

I have always wanted to come here for dimsum but I rarely go to Happy Valley.
Finally went because one of my friends moved here.
When I arrived the lady at the reception was a bit weird because she was rushing me to tell her if I had made a booking when I was all wet from the rain and trying to fold my umbrella.
Anyway, it was all fine when I got upstairs but it was a bit noisy for my liking hence the reason I do not go to eat dimsums much.
It was great, they had a digital ordering system with photos of each dish and a summary at the end to show what you have ordered.

Although you order through the touchscreen, it is officially ordered when you tell the waitors.
Here was what I had:
+++++++++++++++
Pan fried julienne taro and mashed pumpkin:
This tasted like a delicious Chinese rosti with a mix of taro and mashed pumpkins but it would taste even better if the oil was fresh.
+++++++++++++++
Cuttlefish in spicy sauce:
Although this was very spicy, I really enjoyed it with the savory salad.
+++++++++++++++
Marinated jelly fish:
I loved the jelly fish slices which were big and had a nice crunch, but I didn't like the oil they used to marinate the jelly fish because it tasted like oil that had been used to cook something.
+++++++++++++++
Steamed dumplings with mashed black eyed peas, dried shrimp and conpoy:
These dumplings had a light taste with a very starchy filling.
+++++++++++++++
Deep fried whitebait and enoki mushrooms in butter batter:
This was a nice appetizer of crispy enoki mushrooms and whitebait.
+++++++++++++++
Vermicelli in fermented red beancurd sauce:
The vermicelli was disappoining because it tasted oily and it was stirfried rather than braised.
+++++++++++++++
Deep fried sesame balls with purple potato and custard filling:
I am not keen on sesame but this was delicious especially the mochi like texture of the sweet potato and custard filling.
+++++++++++++++
steamed sago dumplings:
There were three different fillings: pandan, red bean and custard.
I liked the custard and pandan but the sago on the outside was a bit hard.
+++++++++++++++

I was in the area so went to Phoenix sweets for some cupcakes.
Got the peanut caramel chocolate and cherry chocolate which both have the same triple chocolate cake base that was moist and not too sweet.
The peanut salted caramel buttercream was really delicious and went nicely with the cake.
As for the cherry, it just tasted like a normal chocolate cake with a fresh cherry on top.

Saw these fancy chiffon cupcakes filled with cream so decided to try them.
They reminded me of these brown sugar cupcakes filled with cream from hoixe.

I got two, one filled with maple custard and cream and the other was chocolate filled with chocolate cream.
The cakes were a bit dry but luckily they were not too sweet.
