Sai Kung recently celebrated its 100th anniversary of the Tinhau and Guandi temple 西貢慶典.
This took place from the 17th-22nd November with the Chinese opera 西貢戲棚 kicking off and booths 市集 selling local creative and traditional snacks 街頭小食 and products on Yi Chun Street.
I was really lucky to tag along and watch the parade on land and at sea followed by the banquet catered by 萬里緣盆菜專門店.
Sunday the 21st was the main event with a parade that saw the Tin Hau and Kwan Tai statues being carried along the streets of Sai Kung followed by the parade carried out at sea.
Approximately 50 viewing boats sailed alongside vying for the best view.
After the parade, a Poon choi banquet was held for guests with over 500 tables which took up the whole Sai Kung square and part of the road adjacent to the market and theatre.
The big bowl feast catered by 萬里緣盆菜專門店 was consistently good because I have had this before.
My favourite was the beancurd sheets and the gravy was damn good with the rice.

New chocolate fondue
2016-11-25 750 瀏覽
Tried this last month because I love cats!!
Went back to see the cats again and they have this new fondue and sizzling affogato so tried that.
There are two fondues: chocolate and extra strong matcha.

It comes with additional Lindt chocolate and black truffle so you have the option of putting it in the fondue if you want.
Black truffle paste.

Lindt chocolate:

On the platter there was sliced kiwi, caramelized banana slices, icecream, strawberries, marshmallows, dragonfruit and croissants.
My favourite was dipping strawberries in the chocolate, who doesn't and I melted the marshmallows in the fondue so my sauce was chocolately with nice sticky melted marshmallows in it.
+++
I was advised the sizzling matcha affogato would be strong and they were pretty right about that.
Luckily I didn't choose the matcha fondue because it would have been very bitter.
The piece of cake beneath it just looked like the usual slice of cake but I was wrong, it turned out to be really soft and fluffy.
It was just delicious with the green tea but as I found it quite bitter, the chocolate sauce from the fondue helped to balance it.
+++
Finished off with rose tea!
Will return again soon to see the cats.

[Review 5596] Ultimate vegan meat @ Green Common

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.

[Review 5595] Only because I like melon @ 麥上日光 Guschlbauer

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.
