I love Sichuan food and Yun Yang is the perfect place to go because they have the strawberry tofu smoothie which is really soothing after eating spicy dishes.
As well as fancy drinks, there are more options other than fish filets in chili oil

Here was what we had:
+++++++++++++
則耳根燒鴨胸
Roasted Duck Breast in Houttuynia Spicy Sauce ($108):
To be honest, this wasn't very spicy but quite healthy because it contains Houttyunia sauce and the flower is similar to a honeysuckle where you can suck the flower for the sweet nectar.
+++++++++++++
脆米柚子軟殼蟹
Deep-fried Soft Shell Crab and Crispy Rice topped with Pomelo ($118):
0 讚好
The crab and pomelo was refreshing, a nice balance of crispy crab and sweet pomelo.
+++++++++++++
玫瑰大千小公雞
Sautéed Diced Chicken with Pepper Chili Sauce topped with Rose ($138):
Although I am not a fan or rose but Sichuan pepper and rose made a good pairing.
+++++++++++++
As well as the a la carte dishes, we also had the set below priced at $1,680 for four persons with one complimentary bottle of Piper Heidsieck Brut Champagne.
++++++++++++++++
Appetizer Delights:
(Translucent Beef Slices, Sliced Pork in Spicy Garlic Soy Sauce, Vegetarian Tofu Sheet Rolls, Beng Beng Chicken with Flat Pea Noodles)
0 讚好
The appetizers were delicious especially the thin slice of beef which you can see the light through it.
There were flat pea noodles which are my favourite and they were not spicy so I could truly taste what they taste like.

松茸開水白菜
Chicken Consommé with Matsutake and Chinese Cabbage
The soup had a really strong mushroom taste yet the Chinese cabbage has been sliced in such a way that it still has a crunch.
++++++++++++++++
黑虎掌菌乾燒鮮鮑涼粉
Braised Fresh Abalone with Pea Noodles and Sarcodon Aspratus Sauce:
The abalone was done really nicely here because it was jazzed up with spices.
I found it ok but some other people found it quite spicy.
++++++++++++++++
風肉蔥沫河蝦仁
Sautéed River Shrimps with Spring Onion Sauce topped with Sichuan Dried Meat:
I loved the green colour made by freshly grounded spring onions and the dried meat gave the prawns a nice salty touch to it.
++++++++++++++++
原創豆酥桂魚
Mandarin Fish Slices with Crispy Soybean Crumbs:
This was a silky chunk of fish on a bed of delicious fried crumbs that are made of soya which has a nice smoky taste that could be used to mimic vegetarian bacon bits.
++++++++++++++++
三十三辣刺參雞鍋配手工製的鵝腸麵
Braised Chicken and Sea Cucumber in Hotpot with 33 Spices in Chili Broth served with Homemade Board Noodles:
This was meant to be the spiciest dish but I found it ok and the best thing is that it is MSG free because the Chef wanted to serve a healthy hotpot.
Later noodles were added to this delicious spicy hotpot sauce which I find quite spicy.
++++++++++++++++
一口燕窩珍珠抄手
Imperial Bird’s Nest and Mini Pork Wonton in Supreme Soup:
The cutest and smallest wontons filled with pork and bird's nest.
++++++++++++++++
(Pan-fried Glutinous Walnut Cake, Deep-fried Egg White Puff stuffed with Green Peppercorn Yoghurt, Sichuan Peppercorn Ice Cream)
For dessert, we finished with these delights.
The green peppercorn yoghurt was interesting because this peppercorn has a lemongrass taste.
My favourite had to be the chewy glutinous walnut cake and the icecream.
++++++++++++++++
Piper Heidsieck Brut Champagne:
++++++++++++++++

[Review 5132] Wintermelon and shrimp soup @ Tallore

Went past and saw this interesting prawn and melon soup so decided to try it.
It turns out that it was wintermelon and not melon as written on the label.
Anyway, it tasted quite nice because it was light but the ginger was a bit strong and overpowered the wintermelon and prawns.

[Review 5131] Great salted caramel milkshake as promised @ The Grill Room

I have been told the salted caramel milkshake is good here so went here again to try it.
As well as the milkshake I had the slow cooked salmon with yoghurt which was not on the menu previously.
At first it was quite sweet but then the saltiness kicks in and the taste is amazing!
Next time I am going to try the toasted Marshmallow.
This was new and I love slow cooked salmon.
You can see the beautiful soft centre and the salmon was really silky and tender paired with refreshing yoghurt.
It would have been nice if it was just a tad saltier but it was perfect already.

My friend had the steak pie which was a really big dish loaded with meat and gravy.
The gravy was delicious with chunks of meat in it.

This has now become my regular place for Indian food when I am in the area.
Both lunch and dinners are good.
For lunch, there is a not so Indian option but it is really good!
It is a fluffy omelette with chicken tikka in the middle paired with baked beans and chewy truffle naan bread.
For dinner, had this special roti which is light and crispy.
(I didn't order this because my Indian friend ordered it.)
My favourite curry there is the butter chicken which has springy and tender pieces of chicken in it.

[Review 5128] Eggette addiction @ 摩豆 Modos

旺角花園街174號A1舖
Shop A1, 174 Fa Yuen Street, Mong Kok, Mong Kok
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/eggette-addiction-e2555873
Before Eggspectation and Modos came along, I have probably had at most 10 eggettes in my life because they don’t particular taste good in my opinion and often too sweet or eggy.
I began to appreciate eggettes when Eggspectation opened in Tsuen Wan, so I trekked all the way for it and it was good as expected.
Since it is quite far away, I haven’t really been back since.
Later I tried Modos’ pandan eggette because I love pandan and it was really nice but didn’t really get it again until a few weeks ago when I discovered they had Taiwanese pineapple cake eggette.
When I got there, I discovered there were more flavours including the existing Borscht soup and Jacob’s Orange.
[To be honest, the eggettes should be eaten right away when it tastes the best hot and crispy instead of taking pictures.]
++++++++++
Tried the red cheese eggette and the Taiwanese pineapple cake eggette.
I knew the red cheese was going to be good because red cheese is a decent cheese and not tasteless mozzarella.
0 讚好
The cheese was just damn good because they put some cheese before the eggette mixture is poured in so that there is crispy cheese on the surface giving it a cheesy taste as well as yummy cheese on the outside.
++++++++++
Next the pineapple was as good as expected because the pineapple jam was chewy and sweet without the annoying shortcrust butter pastry.
++++++++++
The Jacobs was also delicious because there was a natural orange and chocolate taste that Jacobs have but without the annoying biscuit bits.
++++++++++
I also had the honey which is eggette filled with honey bo ba pearls but you should brace yourself for bursting hot liquid as it is friggin hot.
++++++++++
A few weeks ago, waiting time was only 15 minutes and now increased to an hour Thanks to the media and when I got there yesterday, the pineapple and honey were sold out.
The owner of the shop next door is probably getting annoyed with so many people crowding outside.

I expect the Taiwanese pineapple to be a long term popular flavour.

[Review 5127] Something affordable for locals @ 郁健快餐 Yuk Kin Fast Food

郁健快餐 Yuk Kin Fast Food
上環太平山街6號寶雲樓地下A舖
Shop A, G/F, Po Wan Building, 6 Tai Ping Shan Street, Sheung Wan
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/something-affordable-for-locals-e2555872
On this stretch of Tai Ping Shan Road, it is mostly Western restaurants so Yuk Kin and this other Chinese eatery really stick out.
I tried this one because it was empty and I plan to try the other one later.
Prices are reasonable but considerably affordable in the area.
Anyway, the cheapest noodles were around 2X with egg and luncheon ham but as they had chicken on the menu I had chicken with instant noodles.
The chicken looked a bit dry but it was actually tasty and springy while the broth was a clear one.
Although the noodles are seemingly the Nissin brand, they were a bit sticky so I suspect it is the Nissin brand from China.
