Classic treasure chocolate mooncake gift box
2016-08-13  661 瀏覽
As I am going back to UK for a month, I need to get people some stuff from Hong Kong and since it is getting close to Autumn festival, this is one of the items.
From now until the end of August you can get a $50 cash coupon back if you spend $600 or get two $50 cash coupons if you spend $1200 or more when you pre-order which was easy for me because I have to get it now as I am flying tomorrow.

There is a new Lucullus Chocolate cafe in Tsuen Wan but I am too busy to try it out so will probably go there when I am back in September so see you in a bit!!

Both boxes have the new chocolate bar with freeze dried fruits and nuts on top.

The Lucullus mooncake box has a traditional touch to it which reminds me of the Chinese cheongsam dress and the beautiful Chinese knot buttons.
Inside the Treasure box are 14 pieces of chocolate.

[Review 5444] A branch that does not have a bin @ 鴻福堂 Hung Fook Tong

Made the mistake of coming here because the sauces for the ricerolls didn't taste good which killed the ricerolls.

The soy sauce was watered down and the sweet sauce was just sweet.

After I finished, I tried to throw it in the rubbish bin but I reckon as it was 9pm so they taped the bin so that they don't need to empty it when they finish work.
So anyway, they directed me to the bin opposite.
It was also fun watching people eat snacks from Snack express on the window ledges of Hung Fook Tong.

Interesting instant pumpkin and truffle drink.

It was quite impressive they had quite a few dishes for vegetarians which this mall lacks.
Had the vegetarian mince fried rice which strangely tastes like Walkers cheese and onions crisps.
The fried rice was quite moist with so much finely chopped onions in it.
I didn't know that this was a set meal so when I paid for it he gave me a dessert and drink.

Everywhere in the world, everything is changing and evolving which is the same for the food industry and meal habits.
Old recipes are being used less.

At Jade Garden, they have come up with a selection of dishes so that you can reminiscence the past.
Also available at Maxim's Chinese restaurants (not to be confused with MX) until the end of September.

In the day you will find a selection of dimsums and there are different dishes for the night.

Steamed white sheet dumplings stuffed with pork, mushroom and bamboo shoots:
The dumpling skin is made with grounded white rice filled with goodies.

Steamed layered tofu sheets with pork and mushrooms:
I was surprised to see this because it looked like a Chinese lasagna with layers and layers of tofu skin with pork and mushrooms in the middle.

Steamed minced pork topped with chicken and pigs tripe:

Steamed big bun stuffed with chicken, pork:
This was a giant steamed bun filled with chicken and pork, supposedly ordered to fill up the stomach!

Steamed dumpling stuffed with scallop, mushroom, pork and shredded conpoy:
This is another classic dumpling filled with soup and the dumpling skin was firm and strong which held it together nicely.

In the evenings, here are the dishes that you can order.

Double boiled pigeon stuffed with birds nest in supreme broth:

A pigeon stuffed with birdsnest with its bone skillfully removed.

Sauteed sliced squid and dried squid with Chinese kale:

Roast pork stuffed with salted egg yolk and preserved sausage:
This is similar to the chicken with a pieces of liver and lard but the roll has salted egg yolk preserved sausage.

Deep fried toasts topped with shrimp:
Each piece has a whole shrimp on it.

Roasted chicken in two ways:
The whole chicken arrives intact and the skin and meat is sliced off and put on top of the rice crackers and the rest is used for stir fried minced chicken.

-crispy rice crackers topped with chicken skin, goose liver and cucumber.

-Stir fried minced chicken with lettuce and preserved vegetables.

The smoked sliced butterfish with fruit salad looked like tandoori but it had a smoky taste.

Braised hairy gourd with minced pork, conpoy and dried shrimp in casserole:
A light and healthy dish that is good for the eldery.

Baked fish intestines with pork, tangerine peel and doughsticks:
This was my favourite because it was bitter but not pungent but there may be a few bones in it.

Steamed fish head with pickled ginger and gooseberry sauce:
I was expecting this to be sour but it was quite sweet.

Dessert was a surprise because I really liked the white sugar pudding.
It was a chewy white pudding in the middle that was not too sweet contrasted by the crispy surface.


Steamed egg custard with ginger, topped with souffle:
The egg custard has been made fancy and it reminded me of a lemon meringue.

[Review 5441] Eating in a warzone @ 素食新一代 Vegetarian New Generation

Evidently the food here is good otherwise it wouldn't be a battle to get in the shop.
The shop is tiny so expect to be knocked about when you're eating and I feel sorry for the people who are not so slim.
Anyway, the place is extremely noisy as well so it is hard to concentrate to see what is on the menu.
Finally ordered the wontons which came in a delicious pickled vegetable soup.
Inside the dumplings were fresh sweet veggies which all went together deliciously well.
By the time you finish eating, you will be feeling pissed from the pushing and shoving to knock anyone out of your way.
