Kung Fu CNY puddings 2016

Got these from Kung Fu Dim Sum.
After slicing and shallow frying it, the pudding was ready to eat.
You can either shallow fry it directly or dip the slices in egg before frying.
The pudding was similar to mochi but the texture was much denser and stickier and not too sweet with a hint of coconut milk.
For the radish pudding, I liked the chunky white radish pieces in the middle with lots of dried shrimps and preserved wax sausages in it.

I was excited when I saw this listed but it wasn't open yet.
This spot used to be Cafe Life which served vegetarian food.

At first I thought it was French because of the spelling but after googling it, I found out it was Lebanese and there are not many Lebanese joints in HK.

Cafe Lebanaise sounds French and it might have some French connections because I seem to recognize one of the diners from Les fil a maman and La Station.

If I wasn't having dinner that night, I would have settled for a wrap or Tabouleh salad.
They have a food glossary card so if you see any word on the menu which you don't understand you can refer to it.

There were these tempting cakes with salted caramel drizzled on top so I got one of those.

I thought they were going to give me the one from the glass display but they already had them ready in tubs but luckily they were made an hour ago so they were really fresh.


The taste of this date cake was divine, basically the same as the British sticky toffee pudding which is soft and moist but not as sweet.
I was surprised it wasn't too sweet because most Middle Eastern dates I have tried are too sweet.

Also had the Pomegranite Labneh which is yoghurt and it tasted really strong, it was thick, sweet and tart.


I was so glad I went that day because everything was half priced so I saved myself $38!


Definitely coming back for the salads and wraps.










[Review 5043] No change is given @ Subway

Walked past and saw some steak in the tubs which looked good so decided to stop by and grab a steak sandwich.
Apart from Sai Kung and choi hung, this is the third Kowloon Subway that I have tried.
Normally I get my subs on the Hong Kong side and they speak English.
Luckily, there was a Filipino guy there that spoke English otherwise it is just too weird for me to order this in Chinese as there are so many sauces and different types of bread.
My sub was $39.8 so I gave the cashier $40 and I was a bit gobsmacked that she said I won't get any change because she didn't have any 2 cents in the till.
I wonder if she accepts cents in the first place!!

The steak sub was good as expected, the steak texture was soft and salty and it tasted like big chunks of ham which were made of beef.

[Review 5042] 3-in-1 Fortune Gift Box @ 禮賓傅 Lai Bun Fu

Chinese Turnip puddings and Chinese New Year puddings are the norm for CNY.
At Lai Bun Fu, I liked the 3-in-1 Fortune Gift Box because it had Crispy taro balls (芋蝦) and stuffed golden pastry (角仔)as well as the turnip pudding.
I love taro so obviously I loved these crispy taro balls which were fragrant and had a lovely crunch but you have to be careful when you eat them because it goes everywhere.
The crispy dumplings were also good and something you can snack on while the turnip pudding is being pan fried.

Maxim's have launched three stylish cakes for Valentines day which are all different in their ways to suit your lover.
The strawberry one is rather girly, while the red one is glamourous.
I went for the matcha and chocolate because it was down to earth and I liked the pairing of the chocolate and matcha.
I loved the presentation of this cake because I liked the chocolate dripping on the side of the cake.
There were layers of moist chocolate cake in the middle surrounded by thick velvety green tea mousse which had a bitter aftertaste.
This is definitely a nice cake that was not too sweet.

Got the Taro and soft pork bone cartilage set which comes with green tea.
The taro was hard and dry, same with the pork cartilage and it was cold with lots of oil on the corner.

It is obviously cheaper at Neway compared to CEO but for Tea, you only get a mug whereas you get a flask at CEO which has at least two cups in it.
The tea was luke warm so the tea flavour wasn't really strong.
