Since my last visit, I have been meaning to come back for the lunch buffet but I never made it because there are too many irresistible restaurants popping up.
During dinner they have live music and singing.
Appetizers:




For dinner, I had some kebabs.

Both the chicken and lamb were tasty and it was good that you can order tapas portions so you can try more stuff.

chicken kebab seekh

Mackerel Tikka masala:
The mackerel curry was quite good because not many Indian restaurants serve mackerel and the texture of the mackerel was firm yet silky.

Rice:
The rice is a must for curries and it was fluffy basmati rice.

Paneer tikka:
The cheese tasted as good as the previous visit.

Naan:
The naan was soft with a slight crispy surface to it and great with the curry we ordered.

I have always wanted to try this place because of the souffle pancakes.
Went on a Monday because there is a 11% discount which is actually a 1% discount as there is a 10% service charge on top.
Basically it tasted like an eggy souffle but to my disgust there was hair in it.
I asked the waiter what it was and he confirmed that it was a strand of hair but he was nice enough to give me another one.

[Review 5240] Exclusives at this branch @ 太平洋咖啡 Pacific Coffee

Only went here for lunch because they had some exclusive stuff.

Ordered the exclusive skillet chocolate cookie which turned out really disappointing because it was not doughy and chewy enough.

The texture and taste was more like a half baked biscuit.

It was sweet enough and didn't need the caramel sauce.

The feta and spinach roll was good because it was cheesy.

They gave me a quiche instead of the chicken pie I ordered.

Anyway, I got it changed but the chicken was not fresh so the pie was a waste of money.

Perhaps I should have eaten the quiche that they gave me by accident instead of asking them to change it.

[Review 5239] H dining at the H Kitchen again @ 好蔡館

Since my last visit in August, I am quite surprised that not many people have reviewed this place.
Anyway, I wanted to eat the liver noodles again but they had some new dishes which looked good so it looks like I have to go again another time.
On this visit, the guy looked different but probably he is the owner's brother.
There were some new hearty dishes.

Started with two soups:
Peppered Pigs stomach soup and salted lemon duck soup.

Peppered Pigs stomach soup:

salted lemon duck soup:
Ordered this because it was weird but it turned out quite nice because the salted lemon taste was strong.

For the mains, I had this amazing bittermelon, soybeans, black beans and pork belly dish which was in lots of rich gravy and the texture of the bittermelon was soft and mushy without being too bitter.
The soy beans were delicious too and healthy loaded with protein.
It was simply fabulous with the rice I picked because it was loaded with super tiny clams and chinese pickles.

The clams were excellent because there was absolutely no sand in them.
For the other dish, I had salted vegetables and intestines.
The salted vegetables had a nice crunch balanced by the finely chopped fragrant celery on top.

Dessert was this thick soup which was really sweet.
Next time I will come back for 古天樂 Louis Koo's favourite noodles.
Unfortunately, I can't recommend these noodles at the moment because the owner is quite reluctant in telling me how it tastes or what is in it but apparently Louis Koo ate three bowls!

My previous visit at The H kitchen:
Liver noodles and thick soup

Went here for a quick lunch.
I didn't really like the beef noodles because it had a burnt taste.
The chicken fared better and the spring onion sauce was really good because the chicken was silky and fresh.
