Relaxing late lunch
2016-05-15  248 瀏覽
Went here for late lunch and it was nice and quiet as all the people have gone back to their offices.
Started with a nourishing Chinese soup which had whelks and Chinese herbs.The soup had a strong unami taste.
For my lunch I had Spicy tofu with rice.The portion was quite big and the tofu was really amazing because it had a lovely Sichuan peppercorn flavouring and there were black beans in it that gave it more depth.
It was so good that I nearly had two bowls of rice but as I was having dinner later, I only had one.

Bistro on the Mile is currently doing an Old Hong Kong themed buffet every night hence it has old posters and bird cages about in the restaurant.
As well as that they have an extra theme which is different every night.

That night it was oysters.

Oyster selections in the buffet
Cutlet oysters:

baked oysters

tempura oysters

oyster in wine jelly
 0 讚好

oyster and chicken salad

oysters and mushrooms

oyster bruschetta

oyster roll

Other dishes in the old Hong Kong theme:
For drinks, it was impressive because they have hot chocolate as well as tea and coffee and they are also doing a free flow promotion.

I really enjoyed the buffet because it was oyster night so there was so much oyster variety.
The smoked oysters were really good and the oyster in wine jelly was refreshing.


As well as Chinese oysters, I had the nourishing Chinese soup which is different every night.

It was interesting having soba noodles with Indian curry.

They had lots of drinks but I fell for the chocolate because I love hot chocolate and not many places have free flow hot chocolate.

Dessert Kaffee is famous for desserts but their pastas are also good.
Tried the wild mushroom asparagus linguine which was a good vegetarian pasta mixed with fragrant olives with lots of tender young asparagus.
 0 讚好

The squid ink pasta with prawns was even better because the taste was strong but a tad too salty.

For drinks had the grapefruit soda which tasted more like Japanese yuzu.
The Holy pineapple was fun to drink because it was refreshing cold slushy pineapple juice served in a pineapple.

[Review 5269] Great place for quiet Saturday lunches @ 新泰東南亞餐廳 Sun Thai Restaurant

If you're looking for a quiet afternoon, this is the place to go on a Saturday afternoon because restaurants in WC are quiet as all the office people are off.
Previously this spot used to be Khana Khazana but not anymore and Sun Thai Restaurant used to be at W Square which was quite a trek from the MTR.

Had the stir fried glass vermicelli which came with a drink and the baked bread with curry and soft shell crab.

Stir fried glass vermicelli:
 0 讚好

The glass vermicelli was springy complemented by the crisp beanshoots and Asian celery.
+++++++++
baked bread with curry and soft shell crab:


This was my favourite because I love bread, the curry sauce in the middle was light with fine egg strands in it that was great for dipping the bread.
The soft shell crab was ok but a bit over fried for my liking.
+++++++++
Salted lemon soda:

This was basically sprite with half a salted lemon added to it.
It is a weird drink but I like the saltiness.

I have always wanted to try this place because they serve sandwiches.

Finally went one afternoon and had the vegetable sandwich and the BLT.
My favourite was the vegetarian because there was grilled mushrooms, cucumbers and tomato which was light and healthy.
The BLT was also good, the bacon was crispy and lean smothered in a fragrant truffle mayonnaise.

For drinks I had this fragrant strawberry tea and Earl grey tea.


My friend had the passionfruit lime soda which was made with real fruit.

For breakfast, they also have muffins which are moist and rich with a lovely chocolate taste that is not too sweet.
