Korean snacks

Went here randomly because I saw people with these long sticks of snacks.I really wanted to try the Korean hotdog because it is coated with my favourite potatoes but they put sugar on it.So in the end I ordered fishcakes, honey and butter potatoes, fried chicken and a drink.The fishcake came on a long stick in odeng soup, a great snack on a cold day.

The honey and butter potatoes were interesting, the potatoes were in thick honey and you could really taste the butter as well.

As I didn't get the hotdog, I got the sausage wrapped in fishcake which was extremely crispy and delicious.

The fried chicken was big chunks of boneless chicken.

Finished with a colourful slush which was a bit too sweet.

I might come back for the K hotdog and ask for it without the sugar.

McDs were doing two sweetcorn pies for $10 but since they ran out, they changed it to apple pies which is even better because I hate sweet corn pies.
Luckily, there wasn't a queue or I would have left because they don't have self service kiosks at this branch.
The apple pies were good, crisp and sweet with a strong cinnamon taste.

Went all the way here to try the tofu but they didn't have it, so ordered other stuff instead.

I am glad the herbal chicken feet soup made up for it because there were lots of herbs and it had a sweet strong taste.

There was a good variety of drinks in the cabinet like green tea coke, marble sodas etc.

Tried their crispy meat cake which is like fried sausage meat probably made with mince fat and stuff.

As for the noodles, the duck noodle was ok but the laksa was too spicy and their homemade noodles which look like pin noodles clumped together.

Surf and Turf for $138

This place is right next to some famous liver and noodle joint so it is more tempting to go to the noodle place.

Anyway, this place opens at 6pm and people are waiting to go in as soon as they open.

There was an interesting risotto dish which is cooked with beetroot and fennel served with a plate of uni.

I didn't try this but perhaps I will read the reviews and see if it is good.

I went for the surf and turf for $138. You could say it is cheap but then you could say it is expensive because lobsters are getting cheap these days.

If you order this after 9pm, it costs $118 so its like $50 each for half a lobster and filet mignon.

For the surf and turf set, you get a soup, croissant and a drink too.
The soup was carrot soup which was quite salty but had a strong carotene flavour .

I was impressed they served croissants because it tastes better than local bread.

Here was the main dish~~

I love Brussels sprouts and not many HK restaurants serve this.

The filet mignon was the Chinese style tenderized meat but I liked it because it was lean with no tendon bits in it.

The lobster was laced with too much seasoning and herbs because it overpowered its natural flavour and there was a bit too much flour on top.

The gravy and tomato ketchup came in decent portions and the waffle fries were there to fill you up.

Finished with a berry tea which was quite acidic and helps digestion~

[Review 5696] A bit over priced @ 泰式美食

Considering the quality, I felt that it was overpriced.

The chicken wasn't that fresh and it was quite grey in colour and it tasted like boiled over night chicken with a some smell.

I know dark meat is dark in colour but it looked bruised meat.

The sauce didn't taste right either.

I was stuck in KT so came here for a quick fix because this place is easily accessible by walking from the outside without taking the stupid escalators that waste your time and take you all over the crappy mall.

 The ricerolls were ok but the soy sauce was quite watery and the sweet sauce had a strong aniseed flavour in it.
Anyway, the price and location wins!

Went here randomly, I liked the way there is a warning for people with a spicy intolerance.

Anyway, ordered some dishes which looked quite different to the pictures so treat them as a guide only.

The seafood laksa was quite salty paired with thick rice noodles, inmitation crabsticks, frozen mussels etc.

The baby cabbage was quite nice but it was too crunchy and could have been cooked longer.

The pork knuckle wasn't soft and gelatinous.

The fried noodles were the best and it had the right amount of spices.

For drinks, had salty lemonade.

The salted lemon didn't look like a salty lemon because the colour was still bright yellow but it tasted salty which was good.
