I love the food here so came back for it.
Unfortunately I came during lunch time so I couldn't order the main items on the menu.
Anyway, I had the lunch set which was a good deal because there was no 10% and it was delicious slices of beef with leeks and rice.

[Review 5687] Superior soup @ 湯品小棧 Soupreme

Superior soup
2017-01-03 338 瀏覽
At Soupreme, as well as nourishing mushroom based soups [except MACA which is a root that is said to be an aphrodisiac] their dishes are also delicious.
You order by ticking the boxes on the sheet.
The staff are pretty helpful if you get stuck and one of the guys speak FRENCH too!
For the mains, there are rice vermicelli, Taiwanese noodles or rice and I chose the Taiwanese noodles.
To be honest, it tastes so good just mixing the mushroom sauce with the noodles because there is a lovely salty beany taste to it.
I wish I could buy this sauce.
For the side dishes, I got stewed oxtail with mushrooms and the tofu puffs with walnut flowers.
++
stewed oxtail with mushrooms:
The meat was fresh and it comes off the bones easily attached with delicious gelatinous cartilage.

Tofu puffs with walnut flower:
I am not quite sure what walnut flower is so I googled it and it came up with flowers from wild walnuts in China.
The texture of the walnut flower was more like kelp. Although the whole dish doesn't look appetizing, it was sweet and delicious.
noodles with chicken:
The chicken was also soft and came off the bone easily and the noodles beneath it were delicious in that rich strong sauce that was used to braise the chicken.
To finish, I had the soups last not first because they were too hot to drink at the beginning and it fills me up if I drink it first.
I love the way, the soups are served in MUGS which give it a modern touch.
MACA:
Maca is a root and not a vegetable and this soup had a sweet taste.
cordecep flowers:
The taste of this one was nicer because it had a strong unami taste but the cordecep flowers are camouflaged with the carrots, but you can tell because they are not translucent like the carrots.
I can't wait to come here again however getting here is easy but getting out of Taikoktsui is troublesome.

I only tried the breakfast because it had the bago and the fact that you can order it all day, otherwise the bago costs more at McCafe.
In the breakfast set you get a hash brown, bacon burger patty, scrambled egg and a bago.
As usual the hash brown is oily, the scrambled egg is tasteless and lacks a fragrant egg taste.
The bago is chewy, hard and dry so I prefer my regular bago from Yo Bago in QB Thanks!
I hate Margarine.

I bought an egg tart from this place because there was a sticker saying that it wouldn't be too sweet.
Anyway, when I tried it, I thought it was still too sweet.
It is interesting how they can bake a cake in half an hour though as stated on their banner.

Went here again for the create your own signature collection.
This time I chose the garden fresh with brioche bun and crispy chicken.
The sauce was a bit too creamy and messy for my liking as it wasn't thick enough and you couldn't really taste the avocado.

Went here for a pre new year gathering because MK is a convenient place for everyone with transportation connecting almost anywhere in HK.
I am so glad we had the chicken pot because I haven't had this in ages and I love it spicy.

There were quite a few highlights here that must be ordered if you like that stuff.
We started with the fishballs which were soft and springy~
0 讚好
As a keen veggie eater, I love the long bamboo piths which come with the bulb.
It soaks the delicious chicken pot sauce and has a crispy viscous texture.

The goose intestines are worth ordering here because they serve fresh ones which you can tell by the white fat deposits attached otherwise they would be yellow.
The hotpot bubbling away.
They also serve Pigs hard palate, a trending new item which is the top palate of a pigs mouth!!
Crispy in texture~

For meat eaters, there was meatballs filled with cheese and beef.
0 讚好
We also had pork tendons which are a rarity as there are only two per pig.
Now to my favourite Chicken testes, you either hate or love them but girls rarely eat them because it is guy thing.
For me, I don't care because I like the taste and they taste like fish roe from a doversole fish.

The prawn paste balls were also bouncy.

The crispy beancurd rolls were gone in a flash, so were the boneless eels!
We had a fun gathering and it was affordable so I am looking forward to dining here again.

Kasa is another concept branch of the one in Wanchai where I always go because I love their food but it is in the outskirts of WC and it only opens during the weekday for lunch.
I was so glad when this place was opened because the location is much more convenient and you can choose what you like.
Unfortunately everything was sold out a few months ago thanks to tastings promoting their food so I decided to come when the craze had gone down.
Evidently I paid for this meal so it is not a tasting.

It was really hard choosing three dishes because I liked everything on offer so I got two sets.
To be honest, the set for $68 isn't filling for me, 4-5 is about right for me.
Anyway, the noodles were delicious except some strands were a bit dehydrated and it was so badly clumped together.
check out the video on IG!

The drinks were disappointing because I was hoping to see some Chinese teas as it is a Chinese inspired joint.

The Hawthorn drink had a nice fizz but too syrupy sweet for my liking.
