Quick late night snack
2017-03-14  358 瀏覽
I was still hungry after dinner and this was one of the shops that was still open at Rhythm gardens so tried it because I haven't tried it before.
Got the rice rolls for $8 where you get 4 rolls sliced randomly.

They weren't fantastic but then I didn't have any expectations.

The ricerolls were too soft and the sauces were pretty lame.

Don't miss the desserts

As well as good food, the desserts are also good but unfortunately I was a bit full.

Started with the Vietnamese noodles which had a great strong broth but the noodles were a bit too sweet and didn't soak the broth.

The glass vermicelli had a strong garlic taste so I should have skipped this dish and ordered an extra dessert.

For dessert, I had the Thai pancakes which were panfried with a crisp surface topped with young coconut and the bottom part was quite tasty.

The coconut smoothie is a must order because it is so soothing with a fresh young coconut taste.

It's raining Salmon roe balls

After having some delicious temaki rolls in Tuen Mun, I decided to try my luck here with the handrolls.

The one I had was very messy because when I took a bite, the salmon roe balls just fell everywhere and the seaweed was not crisp.

I had to tug it like a dog to tear it apart.

As for the taste, it was ok but the let down was the seaweed.

[Review 5841] Indian vegetarian gem @ 正宗百分百印度全素食品餐廳 Sharmaji Indian Veggie Restaurant

I discovered this restaurant because I was in the area and I had to make a special trip here because the location is not exactly convenient.

I got the MTR to Homantin station thinking it was close but I was wrong.

Whampoa might be a better stop but you still have to walk.

At Sharmaji, they serve North and South Indian vegetarian food at affordable prices.

There were so many things I wanted to eat but in the end I went for the Noodles, Vegetable cutlet, Palak tikki and Pau bazi.

The vegetable cutlet and palak tikki were good but a bit too dry for my liking but it was good you can order by piece to try them out.

The Pau Bazi was buns with some curry and dips to complement it. It didn't look spicy but it was extremely spicy and you can taste more spices in this than other restaurants.

The fried noodles were a bit too soft but again super spicy.

The bill amounted to HK$123 so it wasn't that expensive.

[Review 5840] I have missed so much!! @ Eggspectation

I was so glad Eggspectation was at the Eggsentially Art fair because they are located in Tsuen Wan and that is so far away.

All their eggettes are made from duck eggs which was the traditional recipe back in the 1950s.

I tried the pork floss and seaweed which was really delicious because it was not too sweet and the pork floss tasted surprisingly good in the eggette.

It is amazing how they can keep their standard as good as the first time I tried them a few years ago and I have missed so many new flavours that they have made according to their FB such as pistachio, bacon, custard egg puffs etc.

[Review 5839] Fish and more fish @ 皇苑 Royal Garden

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.
