Went here for tea and got the bento.
It was like bits and pieces put together but didn't go together.
The donut is always good and the salted caramel sauce was the highlight of the bento and the rest were just not so interesting.
The noodles were disgusting, I didn't bother trying them but the tourist didn't like it because the broth was sickly sweet. (no picture).
I liked the hotpot thing because RED MILK makes me curious.
The tea used to be served in this nice vacuum glass cup but not anymore.
It was hilarious that my tourist friend said the logo was creepy like bogeyman!~

Went here again because it was someones birthday.
We sat by the oyster bar but somehow the area smelt quite fishy so I wonder if something wasn't fresh but I didn't really eat the seafood.
It was the early session so it was cheaper but there are less choices.
When the buffet nearly ends, they will collect the tongs so you can't get anymore food lol, so make sure you get enough before they take them away.

There are two branches of Wong Chi Kee, but I took some tourists here because CWB is a toxic town filled with second hand smoke congested with zombies.
The staff here were really nice and the noodles were luckily consistently good because it is not easy to get consistently good food in Hong Kong.
We also had dessert which was new and they were not too sweet so they are worth a try.

Took some tourists here but unfortunately they serve don't wonton noodles and Chinese roast anymore.For me I chose the Malaysian Chow kwai diu which was Singapore style flat rice noodles.Fortunately it tasted good with pieces of ham and egg.

[Review 5557] Limited menu @ 鍾菜 Chung's Cuisine

From the outside, the food pictures looked good so went in.
It was the typical dimsum place where you have to rinse it again because you have to assume the bowls are dirty.
To start, the restaurant was extremely noisy.
But the worse thing was the menu was so limited, there wasn't much to choose from.
They had sets but most of it was crap.
The only thing I liked was the Thai layered pudding which was fragrant and not too sweet.
The fried rice was foul, it tasted like a vacumn bag due to the wok or the oil.
It is hard to describe this taste but it is weird people can eat this crap.

Walked past one day and discovered they had pandan beef curry so as a pandan fan I was determined to go there for lunch.
Finally went there and had it.
The curry was very palatable and there were loads of beef in it paired with fragrant turmeric rice.

My friend has the Chow Kwai teo which was filling.

The lemongrass chicken wings were crispy and springy.

You get a free warming ginger tea which was great on a cold day.

As it was a long lunch, we treated ourselves with some mocktails as well.

[Review 5555] Not much options for expats @ 牧羊少年咖啡館 The Alchemist Café

Went here because we were at the Heritage museum.
Decided to stop by for drinks but the options were limited and they didn't have Breakfast tea or Earl Grey which tourists would expect especially where they are located.
Ended up ordering other teas and fortunately it was TEAPIGS.
The apple and cinnamon was quite good but it was steeped for too long since it was quite sour.
The queue was stupid, they put the barrier really close to the glass door so only one or two people could queue and the rest had to stand elsewhere.
