$15 Drinks & Thai canapés buffet if you’re lucky
2016-02-26  2596 瀏覽

There is something interesting going on at Moon Thai and if you’re lucky, you will get a bargain.
During the Happy Hour section, selected beverages are HKD$7 for the first seven minutes of every hour so I made it just in time with two seconds to spare.

If you missed the the first golden 7 minutes, they still have a “Buy-1-Get-1-Free" specials.
As for the Thai canapés, the price ranges from $8, $18, $28, $38 to $48 which are drawn from the lucky box.

I picked $48 from the box which means my canapés buffet cost $48 so good luck to you!!

The canapés are Thai Night Market-inspired with satays, pomelo salad, Thai leaves wrap etc.
Here was the food and drinks I had:
Lychee cooler:

Sweet and fragrant with a strong lychee taste.

Canape selection:


The Thai wrap was really good because the leaf had a strong taste which goes well with the strong spicy flavours and lime.

You either hate them or love them.
I was surprised to see that they had these Choc Mint Cookie Crisps because in HK they have never launched mint-related cookies or muffins.
Anyway, the Choc Mint Cookie Crisps look like mini maltesers which are brown and mint green in colour.
I found them highly addictive, the brown one is slightly bitter with a mild mint taste and the green one tastes exactly like mint chocolate icecream so if you like that sort of mint then this is for you.
The inside is crispy like maltesers but with a biscuit texture.

There are mixed reactions of Lee Tung Avenue because it is so different to how it was before but I really like it.

There is now a shopping area at the basement, which is really big.
Anyway you will find Gu Fah Bakery there which is a popular tourist pick for souvenirs so you can get cookies here as well as TST.

Since my last visit, there are some new flavours but unfortunately the apple was sold out so it must be the best flavour.
The cookies some in small or large tins with three choices, two mix, three mix or four but the flavours are fixed.

Two mix (coffee and strawberry)


I tried the strawberry which was good because it wasn’t artificial and there are lots of strawberry bits in it which have a nice chew to it.

The coffee was nice too with a bitterness but I will be back for the apple.

Three mix:
{I couldn't buy this because it was out of stock!!}
shortbread, cookie, apple and raisin oat.

Went here for the blogger spring dinner, there were so many people that it occupied the whole restaurant.
The food came fairly quick but there was a slight gap in the middle.
In general the food was ok especially the appetizers and the fish which I didn’t take a photo of.
The fish was really good because it was succulent and silky.

Went here for annual dinner and there were lots of people.
Only took a few photographs and one of the waitresses managed to spill fanta on my white fleece coat. (well done!!) .
I didn't know at the time but luckily "ICE" helped me to wipe most of it.
(Thank you ICE girls)

There was a dish I liked which looked like crispy rolls stuffed with the typical Chinese fruit salad but it was actually filled with curried meat and tasted like Findus Crispy pancakes in the UK which are now extinct.

The lobster with vermicelli was weird though, because the texture of vermicelli was slightly sweet paired with Chinese style cheese sauce.

3/3rds my favourite joint is now in Central.
I could only try them before if they had pop-up stalls at the market because WCH is too far.
They had all my favourites such as wild rice, soups which can be seen on IG.
(there's no point posting them here because you won't get the editors recommendation on openrice anymore which sucks.)

I had the Burmese chicken soup which was amazing and tastes like this Burmese joint in Sham shui po that closed down.

The cheese toastie is different here because they put spring onions and purple onions which balances the melted cheese.

The sales assistant opposite seems to like having her photo taken or she is perhaps eyeing the guy directly opposite which I didn't really see because I was too busy eating.

[Review 5069] Chinese rice pudding @ 南小館 The Dining Room

Went here for dessert and the waitress was an angel because she asked me if I wanted the appetizers which I didn't so she took them away, otherwise you get charged for them.
I had the milk pudding with fermented rice wine and it was like rice pudding because there was bits of rice in it.
The sweetness was just right but I didn't like the gelatin texture.
