I have never tried the wrap at Subway so decided to try because it costs just the same as the 6 inch sub.
For the meat, I chose the grilled chicken and they sliced it so that it fits in the wrap and for the vegetables and sauce I had my usual olives, tomatoes, cucumbers with BBQ sauce.
The taste was ok but it was quite messy to eat and the wrap texture was quite chewy.

Okinawa Yomitan menu

At Mekiki no Ginji, they are now serving the Okinawa Yomitan menu which are Okinawa dishes with ingredients from Okinawa.

Okinawa Yomitan menu:


I quite liked the menu because the bacon and corn dog were quite British in taste.
+++
Sausage, cheese and potato mixed okonoiyaki:

I loved the finely shredded cabbage and soft pieces of potatoes covered in thick sauce.
+++
Fresh salad topped with sauteed thick sliced bacon:

This was salad in wasabi sauce with thick sliced bacon on top.
The bacon reminded me of gammon ham.
+++
Grilled juicy sausage:

These were juicy little sausages that reminded me of chipolatas but they tasted like pepperami.
+++
Juicy sausage corn dog:

This was really similar to battered sausage except the batter is made of sweet potato.
+++
Okinawan sweet potato paste pancake:

I couldn't get enough of this because the pancake was fluffy and soft without being too sweet.
The pancake had a nice thickness and the sweet potato cream was quite starchy with lots of sweet potato mixed into it.

[Review 5050] Free newspaper clippings @ 合時小廚 Hop Sze Restaurant

The menu drives people away because the options are weird.
For $102 you get a choice of vegetables, a choice of mains and two bowls of rice.
The reason it turns people away is that most of the choices on the mains are noodles or fried rice and then you get another two bowls of plain rice for what.

There is also a hidden charge for tea, which I sensed when I sat down because they were really pushy to get you to order tea ASAP.

The noodles I had were actually ok but I didn’t touch the rice because it was weird having rice with noodles and the rice was too hard to eat.
As for the vegetables, there was free newspaper clippings with it!

This is why I love Chinese food, there are so many fantastic unexpected surprises!
Anyway, they waived the tea charge for one person, which was so generous (NOT).

It is also interesting that on the menu, dessert is included but the staff don't tell you and when they finally do realize there is dessert, they said the red bean dessert is going to take time because it is not cooked yet.
Surely if dessert is on the menu, they should have it readily available because red bean dessert is a simple dessert that just needs to be kept warm in the saucepan.

Basically this is a typical Hong Kong cream cake filled with cream and canned fruit with fresh mango slices on top.
The cake is was soft and tasted very eggy.

Attended the Chocoteja workshop a while ago where you get to make chocolates filled with a choice of (organic Peruvian chocolate, pecans, toasted pumpkin seeds, meringe, lantern fruit jam and more.....).
While I was making them, the hardest part was resisting not to eat all of the fillings.
The best combinations were the caramel filling and meringue filling which tasted like Fluff (the American marshmallow spread).
After the chocolates become solid. you get to make the chocolate wrapping and take them home.

Mine didn't make it home because I ate them!
Oops!

Stopped by for a bowl of ox tripe.
As it was CNY the prices are automatically pushed up even though the menu doesn’t say.
Luckily the ox tripe was quite good, it wasn’t fatty with a strong lo shui taste but there were lots of radish beneath it so that they can maximize profits by giving you less.

I wasn't going to bother to write about this restaurant until I started drinking the soup which was meant to be lotus roots and black eyed beans.
To my surprise I found a human like tongue complete with tastebuds!!
Very hardcore!重口味!
It is probably from a cow or a pig but the size looked like a human tongue.
If it was human, I hope it didn't have oral sxx or STDs before it was butchered.
I wonder what I will find in my soup the next time I come? Maybe a sexuxl organ like a penxs?
As for the soup, it tasted ok and there was no MSG with a nice strong bean taste.
