I  ordered the plain noodles with beef sauce because I don't really eat the other stuff.
The broth was a bit weak, there was no MSG so this is a good fix for the elderly and people on a low sodium diet.

To be honest, I thought the soup was a bit bland so I put some chili oil which was super fiery.

One drop can burn your throat!

Recently discovered that this joint served enticing food so decided to try it out.
 0 讚好

The decor inside is nice with a touch of French and English, while there are some French/Italian inspired dishes on the menu.
As the ground floor was full, we were seated upstairs.

Ordered the Italian braised beef, All day breakfast, Japanese matcha latte and Pink Himalayan sea salted caramel latte.
Despite the joint was busy, the food came extremely fast!!

++++++

All day breakfast:
 0 讚好

I was looking forward to this and it was definitely good so I ate everything.

Rarely do I order breakfasts in HK because restaurants just put crap together like fake sausages and other weird stuff but everything on this plate was delicious.There was a hot spring egg, green salad, Pain de Mie, potato truffle salad, tornado wedges and avocado salad. I love potatoes so it was great there was potato salad as well as wedges.
The wedges were fried perfectly so they were not wasted and I even put some egg yolk and avocado on it to make it evilicious.

The potato salad was divine, they were not too soft and starchy with a potato taste as well as truffle.

I loved the way the salad was jazzed up with tasty sundried tomatoes and yummy hazelnuts.

Italian braised beef:

A nice dish of braised beef in tomato sauce, again paired with these delicious tornado wedges and healthy avocado salad.

++++++
Japanese matcha latte:
 1 讚好

The matcha latte is served with a side of Okinawa black sugar but it tasted good without so I didn't need it.

It had a pleasant taste without being too grassy or bitter and the sakura flower spoon is so pretty.

++++++

Pink Himalayan sea salted caramel latte:
 2 讚好

Beautifully presented and the foamed cap was lovely with a decent saltiness to compliment the latte.

++++++

Finished with warm brownies.
Both were good especially the chocolate.

Electrifying burgers

I have always wanted to try this place because of their famous burgers.
 0 讚好

Electric Ave to me is a street in Brixton, UK where they have lots of Caribbean restaurants in that area.

Brixton is a lot more hip these days with other restaurants.

Anyway, this is the second Burger joint that I have been to in HK opened by a Brit.

What makes this one special is that everything is made in house by them from the sauces to the patties.

The chips are hand cut, soaked in ph water to remove the starch, fried three times so the chips are the most time consuming and take about 5 hours according to the menu.
 0 讚好

It is best to eat with a friend because they have chips and fries which are both good.

Anyway, we ended up having two burgers: Classic beef with Fruit pig black pudding and the Creamy chicken.

Both burgers came in a delicious soft fluffy bun.

++++++

Classic beef with Fruit pig black pudding, bone marrow chips:
 0 讚好

Evidently it was very tasty with lots of flavours going on as there are about 100 different ingredients inside, a touch of spiciness and sweetness and every bite was sensational.

There were onions, cheese, siracha, pickles etc.
 0 讚好

The best bit is the black pudding which was velvety and there was a huge chunk inside the patty but unfortunately I didn't take a picture of it.

Moving on to the chips, nothing beats some real chips which you can't get in HK and these are laced with bone marrow which you can taste and smell. It has this beefy aroma to them.

++++++

Creamy hache chicken and rosemary fries:
 0 讚好

I was really impressed with this because chicken is usually boring but they really jazzed it up. I thought it was going to be smothered in a creamy sauce but it was dressed with arugula and lots of herbs.

It tasted like Vietnamese chicken pho because of the aniseed and it was chicken hash so you still get the chicken texture.
 1 讚好

The rosemary fries were perfectly done because I like them blonde, perfectly crisp on the outside yet fluffy on the inside.

++++++

Definitely coming again.

Next time I will order the veggie burger in advance because they do good veggie burgers as well.

Colourful new vegan cakes

I haven't been here for ages so decided to come here for lunch.

There are lots of new things on the menu since my last visit such as cauliflower rice and paellas.

Decided to get the set lunch because it had soup, mains and a dessert.

Began with the soup which was a silky pumpkin soup.
 0 讚好

Then came the mains which was surprisingly filling especially the eggless tofu frittata and the creamy mash beneath it contrasted by the refreshing tomato puree.

For dessert, I tried this colourful cake which had a pistachio base, spirulina and strawberry mousse on top deorated with berries. (not included in the lunch set)

I am not sure what to make of the spirulina taste because it is very strong so it is hard to describe but I loved the chewy pistachio base.
 0 讚好


Overall, a healthy, tasty and colourful lunch.

I was a bit peckish so I got a chocolate and ginger cookie.

It was big and extremely dark in colour.

I thought it was going to be hard but it was actually very light and crumbly with a rich chocolate taste and a kick of ginger.

Hungry for Salmon roe
2017-02-08  1837 瀏覽
Recently I have been craving for Salmon roe so went here for it.

Got the 50:50 which was salmon roe and salmon on top of rice with furikake.

The salmon roe was delicious but the salmon wasn't so good because it was fishy and I don't like salmon with silvery skin still attached.

Apart from that, it was so delicious because they sprinkled furikake on the rice which makes the rice even more yummy.

It is quite a good deal because you get lemon tea or miso soup but the joint down the road is pricier and does not include a drink.

Chinese Coronation chicken
2017-02-07  461 瀏覽
This used to be a boring bakery before they livened it up with new things like macarons and fancy cakes.
Anyway, this American style curry submarine caught my eye because it looked like English Coronation chicken so I got it
It was impressive they dusted it with normal flour and not icing sugar as most Chinese savory breads are sweet.
Ok, it didn't taste like English coronation chicken but it tasted like a weak curry with salad cream mixed into it.

I managed to finish it all so it wasn't a waste of money,
