I love fish so ordered two fishes at this place.
One was steamed and the other was steamed fish head with chilis.
The steamed fish was simple and good because the fish was fresh with a lovely spring onion aroma.
The steamed fish head was Hunan style according to the menu so it was very spicy and quite interesting they put ginger on it as well.
The ribs were bony and salty.
The lemon chicken was palatable.
As for the soup, it was quite unique because it black wolf berries which taste the same as red.

[Review 5838] Yuen Long visit with half priced MTR @ 薄荷葉泰國菜 Mint Thai House

Taking advantage of the MTR promotion, went to Yuen Long because it would cost a good $18 on a normal day.
Stopped by at this restaurant because they serve the stingray.
The stingray was a small one sliced in half, it was crispy covered in garlic, onions and green peppers with a delicious Thai sauce that enhanced the taste.
Also had the coconut chicken soup which strangely had a strong tomato taste with a spicy and tangy tone.

Went here for the melon dessert but unfortunately they don't serve it forever
Had the chicken noodles which tasted like noodles in English chicken broth so it was quite comforting.
Also had potato pancakes because it is the Korean version of rosti but the one here was quite oily.
The beef bulgogi japche was really good because beef and onions stir fried together always go well and it tasted a bit like beef and onions in oyster sauce.
The open sushi was interesting and quite spicy.
For drinks had the blue lemonade which tastes like very sweet sprite.

The best Temaki Sushi hand rolls
2017-03-11 501 瀏覽
As I was in Tuen Mun for a photoshoot, I got some recommendations for food.
My friend recommended me this Temaki Sushi hand roll joint at Waldorf Shopping arcade.
I didn't have any expectations because hand rolls are just cold clumped sushi rice and the only exciting part is the first few bites because all the ingredients are on the top.
Secondly I find it messy eating hand rolls because the toppings and rice go everywhere after taking a bite.
Anyway, after the photoshoot I decided to check it out as I was really hungry and could do with some carbs.
It was a small joint beneath the busy mall yet they had so many hand rolls to choose from that it was hard for me to decide, so in the end I picked the hot items.
The interesting thing was that I saw a grandpa eating a roll from here so it must be good because elderly Chinese do not usually eat sushi as they consider it rather modern.
++++++++
[grilled flounder fish hand roll]
Began with the flame grilled flounder fish which was a good start because the rice was at room temperature and it wasn't clumped together but loosely held together yet firm.
0 讚好
It was wrapped in paper so it was easy to eat AND I did not make a mess and the fish didn't drop out, the seaweed was fresh and crisp that it lets you get a clean bite without needing to tug it.
The fish itself was fresh and the oils infused with the rice nicely that I didn't need any seasoning.
+++++++++++++++
Next I had the cheesy roll with a prawn cutlet in the middle.
It was topped with egg and cheesy sauce.
1 讚好
Normally I am not keen on Japanese egg because it is sweet but when you take a bite of this, all the flavours are fantastic because the sauce is tangy and then you get the warm crispy prawn in the middle and then you have the egg and cheese.
0 讚好
The best thing is that the frying oil was fresh so it didn't kill the roll.
++++
The next roll I had was the hand roll with uni, scallops and salmon roe, basically all my wishes in one as if I was eating a hand rolled donburi!!!
1 讚好
Again, all the ingredients were fresh especially my favourite popping salmon roe and in the middle it was not just solid rice, there was salmon.
0 讚好
+++++
As I was still hungry, I decided to get the fried soft shell crab with crab paste hand roll because the fried soft shell crab is guaranteed to be good judging by the fried prawn I had earlier since their frying oil is fresh.
When it came, you could see the how vibrant the crab was, it was bright orange and you can see the claws clearly because the coating of flour is thin.
1 讚好
I just loved every bite of this because the crab paste was so fresh and not fishy and the soft shell crab was light and crispy.
+++++
I am definitely coming back when the MTR is half fare again.

Came here for some stinky tofu
2017-03-08 300 瀏覽
If I knew 8Pots served Taiwanese pork blood cake and stinky tofu, I would have come here earlier.
I only discovered this place because I was eating next door and rarely do I come to this stretch of town because it is annoyingly located between TST and Jordan.
It is cheaper coming here in the day because it only costs $88 and in the evening it costs $108.
You basically choose a pot with rice or glass vermicelli and a drink is included.
Unfortunately, each hot is fixed and different broths have different ingredients so in order to try the stinky tofu and pork blood cake, I had to choose the House Special pot.
There were two other captivating pots such as the Medicinal lamb and spicy pot that I was tempted to choose as well.
The drink came first and it was in a sealed plastic cup which is nice and hygienic.
I was impressed with the Jasmine taste because it wasn't like toilet Jasmine fragrance.
0 讚好
They were generous with the meat.
The stinky tofu was really delicious and tastes good with the bean sauce.
As for the pork blood cake, I was disappointed to find only two pieces.
0 讚好
I decided to order more stinky tofu which was thoughtfully heated for me when it arrived because I was halfway through eating the pot and the flames have gone out.
There is also a fried stinky tofu option but I prefer the soft version.
I really regretted not ordering more blood cake because it was so delicious but then I was full.

It was huge for $48 and quite good because it was tossed in delicious Japanese vinegar dressing.
