I haven't had these noodles for ages but the hygiene looked ok here so I decided to get it.
On the menu was vegetarian prawn so I asked what it was and they showed it to me.
Since it looked real compared to other vegetarian prawns I have seen, I chose that and imitation sharks fin because I love imitation sharks fin.
It was really good because you mix the sauces yourself.
As you can see, the vegetarian prawn is very realistic!
The texture is like konjac but I didn't eat it because I don't think I can digest that

My original plan was to get a purple potato milkshake from Mini jobs but Thanks to some salty noodles I needed a real drink.
Went here and got some grapefruit soda which was really good because it was freshly squeezed grapefruit with soda water added.
It was good that you can request it without sweetener too.

Got some noodles which were quite expensive for $30 but I suppose the portion was quite big.
There are three sauces to choose from: peanut sauce, Korean sauce and sesame sauce but I didn't have any because they are all sweet and I don't like  them.
The guy puts soy sauce in it as well so it won't be tasteless.
Unfortunately the tofu that I chose was sweet so that was disgusting and the imitation shark fins were really salty!!!
If he hadn't put the soy sauce, the flavours from the imitation sharks fin would have balanced the noodle nicely.

I love mint chocolate but the mint chocolate bread was ruined with green tea that you can't really taste the mint.

The chocolate chips used were the cheap type.
I also wanted to get the Earl Grey tea bread but they ruined it with mango.
The Asian market loves Green tea and mango so much so why don't they just make a green tea and mango flavour and leave the good pairings alone.

As an expat, Marks and Spencer is always my haven for British food.
Today's visit was not good and the staff should have better training as they are ruining this prestigious British brand in Hong Kong.
I was buying stuff when I discovered a moldy bap in the pack so I went and told the cashier who didn't respond in a normal way.
+++++
Me: It's moldy.
Cashier: yes because it expires today.
(scans the buns)
Me: I am just telling you it's moldy, I don't want it..
Location: marks n spencer, East point city, hong kong
Date: 13/10/2016
In the end I got corned beef and assorted buns.
The corned beef was quite salty and dry.

I am so glad that MS have finally stocked these cream slices.
Basically it is cream and jam in between layers of puff pastry topped with a beautiful icing.
These are my favourite things to go with tea.

The smoothie on the other hand wasn't nice because the lime was too acidic!

Tried this place because it was always shown on the front page of this website.

The dimsums taste ok but not the best.
However they are healthier than other places because there is no oil, not even a drop.

The chicken was fresh, moist and bouncy even though it looked dry and unappealing.

There was a big chunk of lean chicken thigh in the middle.
