Went to Shatin because some relatives live there and there are quite a lot of expats around this area as it is next to Tai Po where most BBCs live except me.

Didn't know where to eat because Shatin is always packed with people but went here because of the recent reviews.
We had steamed fish of the day and two other hardcore exotic dishes like XO sauce frogs legs and black bean sauce intestines!

++++++++++
steamed fish of the day:


Basically a flawless dish when the fish is fresh and steamed just right.
It was a great size for sharing and the fish was silky and soft complimented by the lovely soy sauce and grassy spring onions.
++++++++++
XO sauce frogs legs:

They have a chicken like texture and taste tossed in XO sauce which isn't that spicy but someone found it spicy so I think my spiciness threshold has gone up.
++++++++++
black bean sauce intestines:


Plain intestines don't really have any taste which is why the black bean sauce is a great thing to pair it with and it reminded me of black bean sauce squids with that springy chewy texture.
More black beans please because I love black beans.

[Review 5201] Cheung Chau fishballs in Sai Kung @ 明記小食

I was on my way getting the hell out of Sai Kung when I noticed this shop because I saw the words Cheung Chau which made me curious.
It was a nice CLEAN little shop which made me stop by for some noodles.

They had marinated soya chicken legs, chicken wings, siumai and stuff like that but the star was BIG CHEUNG CHAU FISHBALLS.


My noodles were only $8 which is a bargain in Sai Kung and the sets including a drink is only $19 which is fair for snacks.

The noodles were ok but slightly sticky because it had some sauce from the chicken marinade.


The shop staff were surprisingly nice because this woman had quite a bit of shopping and they gave her a big bag to put everything in.








[Review 5200] Espuma afternoon tea @ Espuma

Went here because M88 has really nice views in Central and the afternoon tea for two is really affordable compared to other places including drinks.
Here is what you get in the tea set and for $15 more you can choose some fancy drinks.

I went for the Earl Grey macchiato which came with a delicious thick layer of salted cream foamcap.


Then came the teaset which was served on a clear acrylic stand that was the shape of the letter e for Espuma.


Scones with cream and jam:

Savoury items in the tea set:



Sweet items in the tea set:



The savoury treats were really nice especially the vol au vent with mushrooms and the sweet treats I liked the purple potato puff topped with crushed nuts.

The scones were the best because they were crumbly with raisins in it and they tasted amazing with that delicious creamy foam cap from my drink because the creamyness was intense.




















[Review 5199] Yue Mic Ka dinners @ 魚米家魚湯米線大王 Yue Mic Ka

Went here for dinners and they have these pots to choose from.
The pots are supposed to come with vegetables but they ran out so gave us Chinese radish in fish soup which was quite nice but the radish was a bit old and woody with a sweet and bitter taste.
The trotters were too oily and sweet for my liking.
The fish in tomato sauce was really good because the tomato sauce was nice but the batter was egg batter which wasn't good because it went soft too quickly and the eggy taste was more prominent than the fish.







[Review 5198] Quiche with a sting @

It was good to see that they now have quiche which wasn't there before.
The quiche is the cheapest item so people who want to eat here without forking out too much can choose this.
The quiche that I had was a bit watery and the cheese was not strong enough.
Unfortunately I found a piece of pork bone in it.
In the food store, I like the way they have fresh drinking coconut where you just pull off the ring and insert the straw provided at the bottom and drink.
