It never crossed my mind to ever dine at 粗菜館 because I thought it was just the usual Chinese fare until I recently tried their new restaurant in North Point.
I was at Kowloon City to try this new restaurant but as it was raining I went here instead.

The menu showed this delicious dace and black beans vegetable dish with glass vermicelli so I ordered it because I love black beans and glass vermicelli.

The menu didn't lie, it really did have glass vermicelli in it and it was really delicious because it absorbed the dace and black bean flavours.

For the other dish I had the Sichuan pig's liver which was just as good as the North point branch.

It was velvety with a fragrant Sichuan pepper taste and the sauce went deliciously with the rice.

[Review 5167] I like this branch @ 榮記粉麵 Wing Kee Noodle

I didn't know this branch existed otherwise I would have gone to this one instead of the one at Jardines Bazaar.
The waitresses are quite snappy if your a first timer but on my second visit she was friendlier.
For noodles, the flat rice noodles were the best choice because the rest are tasteless and don't absorb the soup.
Had the octopus tentacles, cuttlefish head and pig's blood.
Everything was as good as expected because the beef broth was strong.
The broth for the watercress tastes slightly different because it is not as sweet as the noodle broth.

I didn't know there were two branches of Wing Kee so I only went to this one.
This time I had beef tendons, cuttlefish head and pig's blood with flat rice noodles.
The broth had a strong beef taste but the pig's blood, cuttlefish head and beef tendon were too salty.

[Review 5165]Waffle with cream @ McCafe

Every now and again shops always get relocated or close down within a few years, nothing can stay put for good in Hong Kong.
It is hard for people to have long term memories of anything so I don't blame people in Hong Kong for having short term memories.
I feel sorry for people who have alzheimer's or elderly who can only remember certain places because they will keep trying to go to a place that does not exist anymore.

Anyway, McCafe and McDs have moved to the corner of the mall, while the rest of the mall is being reorganized.

I had the mixed berries sundae waffle before at McDonalds Next.

The one I had here was better because it was not as sweet as it was just plain waffle and cream but overpriced.

Sweet potato eggettes

I don't really eat eggettes so I don't know the current price for eggettes.
Anyway got the sweet potato eggette from here and was told it was expensive by a foodie.
It had that typical eggy eggette taste that you find in Chinese egg rolls which I don't like hence not my cup of tea.
This is why I only get eggettes from a certain shop these days.
It takes a while because the orders are done in batches according to flavour and not order number.

[Review 5163] To oyster fans @ LIS Cafe

Went here because my friend loves oysters and it does not cost over $400 per person.
It is cheaper on Mondays to Thursdays at $329 per person and $359 per person on weekends and public holidays.

As expected the oyster and seafood bar was a popular pick for people dining there.
Different types of oysters that they have:

As well as oysters, they had other dishes.
For drinks, they have a good variety of teas that would easily please expats and tourists.
I was impressed with the dessert because they had my favourite cherry crumble and this caramel, peanut butter and chocolate bande which tasted like delicious caramel slices in the UK.
One of our mates arrived late when the buffet session was about to end so he ordered the a la carte Tomahawk steak which comes with green tea salt and gravy.
