Went here because that they had some good options for lunch such as grilled cheese, beef tourtiere and steak sandwich.

The beef tourtiere was not available yet so had the steak sandwich.

Started with some local beer which has a light taste compared to other beers.

The steak in the sandwich is wagyu skirt steak as stated on the menu.

I thought it was going a sandwich but it was a piece of toast topped with beef slices with cheese grilled on top.

There was delicious caramelized onions and sherry butter so it was very flavourful but I found the wagyu skirt steak a bit too fatty.

To be honest, I came here for dessert and it didn't let me down.
The usual sago you see in restaurants are just white with sago pearls, but on Social Media I saw these green pearls which made me try it.
As expected, the dessert tasted so good and the fact that it was not too sweet made it amazing.
There were bits of taro, sweetcorn, water chestnuts in it as well as sago.
The salted lemon soda was fantastic as well because it is probably the saltiest salty lemon you can find but I loved it.

Also had the chicken rice and fried rice.

Went here in November last year but it wasn't listed on OP so decided to wait for someone to update it.

Ordered the Black bean and avocado burger which was disappointing because the patty was cold and it was too spicy to eat.

On a health conscious note, the black bean patty was really healthy because it wasn't fried as it was just black bean paste shaped into a patty.
The avocado was missing so they gave me some after I ask

Finally found some decent Vietnamese food in Kowloon City.

When you order, they will give you a basket of fresh Basil and lime.

Ordered the crab and tomato noodles, beef and tomato rice and lamb curry noodles.

+++++

crab and tomato noodles:

The soup was really strong but sadly I chose the wrong noodles for it.

Ideally the bean noodles would be better as the flat rice noodles are too sweet and overpower the broth.

+++++++

The beef was juicy and tender.

++++++

The curry lamb was satisfying because it wasn't too spicy and the noodles absorbed the tasty broth.

On the last visit, the Earl Grey slush was sold out so ordered it on this visit.

Also had two coconut puddings, one with durian and one with birds nest and peach tree gum.

The birds nest was surprisingly generous.

Both coconut puddings have a coconut jelly base made of young coconut.
The sweetness is just right.

The Earl Grey slush was a great cooling dessert on a hot day but it was a little too sweet for my liking but the Earl Grey is super strong and fragrant.

It is served on a golden teapot with smoke coming out of the teapot sprout.

Every person is given an abalone as part of the Japanese promotion.

My personal favourites were the cheese, potato churros and the Japanese Daifukus,

After seeing lots of posts, I finally tried this place.
We had lots of fresh sashimi to begin and we had the seafood platter.
I decided to post the chicken wings because everyone is posting pictures of the seafood.
The chicken wings are good as well because they are crispy with a nice saltiness.
