Vegan meat couldn't be more meaty with the brands they are serving but it comes at a pricey tag because it is like the ultimate beef of beef!
Tried the plant based chicken with sesame bean noodles and the fish burger.

The fish burger was tiny, the filet was the size of a chicken nugget and the burger cost me $4X because they serve Gardein Fishless filet.
It looked like a box of salad with a bun in the middle.
As for the plant based chicken, the chicken texture was exactly liked chicken but there was a slight beancurd taste which gave it away as vegetarian.
THESE TWO ITEMS AMOUNTED TO $120 AND I WAS STILL VERY HUNGRY AFTERWARDS LOL!

I think it would be cheaper eating these brands overseas.
The only merit I credit here is that they air fry the fried stuff.

I love melon but sometimes the taste can be quite artificial.
Got the new melon yoghurt devil cheese bun which was covered in so much melon yoghurt cream cheese.
The bun was soft and fluffy which went perfectly well with the melon and it tasted very natural too.
As well as melon, there is also rose and sweet purple potato as well.

After dining at the Min Nan place a few doors away, I was still hungry so went here.

They have a signature beef noodle in herbal broth but I don't like Yunnan rice noodles so skipped it.

I went for the mini wontons instead.

The little wontons were really cute and filled with a pea sized amount of meat which was fresh and lean.

I liked it because I am not keen on meat anyway and the soup was appetizing because they put vinegar in it hence the brown colour.

The set came with Chrysanthemum tea which I didn't like because it tasted like syrup.

I love Min Nan Cuisine (Fujian food) but there are not many in Hong Kong.

It so just happens there are two on this street.

Tried this joint first because it had a lot to offer.

I was surprised I was greeted with a friendly lady and she even gave me water and sharing bowls.

As for the food, it was pretty average and over priced as it wasn't really delicious.


Neat and clean joint:

The jellyfish head was good but the sauce got a bit too sweet for my liking.


The soup with these Fujian style meat loaves were a bit nasty, they had a weird smell and it didn't taste like pork or beef and the soup had that weird taste as well.


The noodles were tasteless even though the broth was strong and spicy.
