This is the second time having buffet here and the choice is just as good as the first time I came.

They had the regular wonderful variety of seafood, curry, cheese and freshly steamed fish but as they are doing the Thai theme, there was so much choices for Thai food.
There were just so much choices but I had to order my favourite steamed fish first from the counter and they did two styles Chinese spring onions with soy sauce and Thai herbs.


The Thai style steamed fish was different with a strong lemongrass taste.

Refreshing papaya salad:

Springy grilled prawns:
Foie gras:
Sashimi:
Fresh oysters:
More seafood but my favourite were Balman bugs because not many buffets offer them.
Soup and Chinese fare:
For dessert, I finished with a trio of different Movenpick icecreams, hazelnut was my favourite.
Lemon souffle:
During the evening, the waiters will come and ask you some quiz questions related to Thailand and if you get it correct, you can win a bottle of Thai wine.

Coming back soon for more food.

A colleague that was leaving treated us to this milk pudding.
It was thick and creamy with a strong milk taste and it was not sweet at all which is good for people who are diabetic

[Review 5195] Revisiting New Bashu Taste for the fish head @ 新巴蜀風 New Bashu Taste

After trying the steamed fish head with red and green chilis, I loved it so much that I had to go again.
Planned to go after the Chinese New Year but they were closed.

Finally went and just ordered the steamed fish head and rice.

From the previous experience, the baked rice was too dry so I asked for the rice from the ricecooker.

When the fish arrived, I scooped away the chillies because it can get quite spicy.
I ate it skillfully, removing the bones piece by piece.
The fish was just silky and delicious with so much gelatin and it isn't really spicy unless you dip it in the broth.

Although I just had one dish, I was really content but next time I think I will go alone and have the fish to myself

After seeing the previous review, I decided to try the white chocolate and mint mousse cake because white chocolate and mint make an interesting pairing.
You would have never guessed this romantic red cake would be white chocolate mousse inside.

The cake is covered by a thin layer of white chocolate and in the middle there is delicious tart berry sauce that balances the sweetness of the mousse.

Stopped by for a cake because I was in the area.
Had the carrot cake because it was raw. It was moist with lots of grated carrots and fragrant cinnamon taste.
Also had the zucchini soup which was tasty and peppery.
Coming back soon for more filling dishes because this place is much more convenient than Wan Chai.

[Review 5192] FATE @ 裕興咖啡 Yue Hing

I have always wanted to try this place but they don't open on weekends and public holidays which makes it difficult.
They open bloody early and close bloody early like 1pm so it is really for people working in Central.

There is no number to call so going there is risky and the food might be sold out.
Attempted visit: 26/7/2013 Time:10am

Once I got there during their opening hours and there was a notice saying the guy broke his arm.

Another time it was open and I was standing right there but couldn't stop by to eat because we were filming something.

Finally made it on a fateful day and had the noodles and toasted sandwich.
I know it is too much food for one person but I doubt that I can make it here for breakfast again.
The lady didn't was against me ordering two items because she didn't think I could finish it.
The toast was really good, it had ham, cabbage and peanut sauce which strangely tastes good together.
I didn't see luncheon ham on the English menu or I would have ordered that.

The drinks were the usual choice but their Hong Kong style tea is more pleasant than others but having more than half a glass was already too much for me.
The lady here was really nice.
