A good variety of noodles
2017-04-08  212 瀏覽
Randomly went here because it was empty and there were lots of noodles to choose from.
I chose the noodles topped with dried prawn roe in sesame oil.
You can also choose pork lard but not my cup of tea.
This was fragrant and flavoured by the salty prawn roe.

Also had the soup noodles with pig's blood jelly, vinegared pork trotters, aged citrus peel fish balls and noodles made with Mountain yam.

I really liked the silky thin white noodles because it absorbed the broth.

A nice joint to visit if you are in the area.

I have always wanted to try Trattoria Doppio Zero because they use Italy's finest flour 'Doppio Zero" to make their fresh pastas.

Although we didn't try these two pastas, they have two with a Chinese touch to it with the use of XO sauce and Chinese fermented beancurd.

Started with the Baby Beetroot Salad which was colourful and refreshing with golden beetroot, watermelon beetroot and the usual beetroot paired with buttery walnuts.

The olive bread was also good because it was soft and springy.

As a cheese lover, we had the creamy Burrata Cheese topped with roe on top of Pickled Beetroot.

The New Zealand wild clams Chitarra was tasty with a kick of chili in it.

When this dish arrived I could smell the cheese but when you ate it the cheese flavour and tomato worked in harmony while the capellini had a natural tomato taste.

The Pappardelle with Blue crab and caramelized fennel looked creamy but it wasn't.

As well as pasta we had the Japanese-Style Poached Black Cod.
It felt complete because there was crispy fish skin and salmon roe to compliment it.

I am not a fan of desserts but the Sweet Corn & Vanilla Pudding was interesting because everything had sweetcorn and popcorn in it which reminded me of Mexican desserts.

For a restaurant to survive in Central the food has to be good.The food was better on this visit compared to a few years ago because they have more Western dishes which suits my palate and evidently more expats are dining there.On the menu, it is comforting to see Caesar salad, Mozzarella tomato salad and a variety of pastas as well as the Taiwanese fare for native tastesbuds.


Started with buffalo wings which were surprisingly good because they were crispy and tangy.

The wild mushroom, beef and black pepper fettucine was good but I couldn't find any mushrooms in it.

I didn't eat the beef because it was Chinese style tenderized beef.

For drinks had the taro slush which was fragrant and not too sweet.

The fruit tea had lots of fruit in it but I found it a bit too sweet.

As it was a public holiday, there was 20% and it is better dining there on the weekends and PHs because the office crowd is not there.

I was glad I took some US friends here because there were some not so traditional desserts.

It is a bit difficult to recommend them stuff like weird sweet soups and sweet beans when you only get things like puddings and cakes in the West.

We all had the strawberry and grass jelly which was good as usual to me and they liked it because they could relate and understand what it was.

Went here again for afternoon tea because the noodles are really cheap.
Had the Cambodian noodles in sauce which was really good and you get to choose a topping.
Also had the instant noodle salad which has a strong refreshing garlic and vinegar taste topped generously with squid balls.

At Pizza Hut there are some new dishes, as well as pizza there is baked lobster with Parmesan Cheese called the CHEESY LOBSTER SUPREME and SLOW COOKED PORK KNUCKLE.

The star of the show is the STAR BITES pizza which comes in two flavours is in a shape of a star and the slices look like HEARTS.
At the moment, they are doing a promotion where you get a miniature version of the Star Bites pizza if you order the set and spend over $350.

See in store or online promotion for more detailed information.

The lobster was really good complimented by the fries and salad, it definitely felt different as I would never have imagined eating baked lobster at Pizza Hut.


The pork knuckle was soft and came off the bone easily covered in thick sweet black pepper and honey sauce, while the vegetables and gravy were laced in aromatic cumin seeds.


Prawn and scallops STAR BITES pizza and the mini pizza pictured together.

Each slice looks like a heart.



Chicken and peach STAR BITES pizza:


Tried both pizzas and the chicken and peach is for people who like it sweet because it is fruity with peach and pineapple pieces.

I liked the Prawn and scallops because it had olives, pepperoni and green peppers.

The pizza base was equally as good because it was soft with a chew and you can tell it is made from fresh dough.

The pizza edges were my favourite because I love cheese and it was stuffed with cheese and sausage.

Definitely coming back again for more cheesy pizzas!!

This is my favourite bakery so I always get a fruit loaf if I am in the area.

There is a branch at MOKO mall which is not convenient.

It happened to be raining that day which was annoying because all my clothes were wet so I was contemplating whether to get some bakery as it would be quite annoying carrying it in wet weather as well as holding an umbrella.
Anyway, noticed a poster that there was 20% off because it was raining so I decided to get it anyway.

Tried the new green tea dumpling which was a delicious mix of green tea and custard that didn't taste too sweet.

There is a blueberry one too but I am not sure how it would taste because blueberry products often taste artificial.
