Hokkaidon has been featured on most all the media because of this Donburi which overflows with salmon roe. On some nights they will be cutting a whole meguro.
That night, it was a big gathering so we had lots of dishes to share.
+++++
Onsen Egg with Salmon Roe:
0 讚好
This was salmon roe and onsen egg goodness together.
+++++
"Yukhoe" Tuna with Avocado:
0 讚好
I absolutely loved this dish because it had my favourite avocado and tuna and the yolk makes it even more silkier.
+++++
Braised Abalone:
A perfectly braised abalone with a balanced sweetness and the seasoning.
+++++
Salmon:
At first, I didn't know what was so special about this salmon but it is visually different because it does not have those white lines and the salmon taste is more intense.
0 讚好
++++
Sea Urchin (50g)
You just can't get enough of uni so ordered an extra board of it to compliment the donburis.
+++++
Salmon Roe Don:
The salmon roe was the star of the show which I was waiting for the whole night.
On the last scoop of salmon roe, it will overflow from the bowl.
The size of the salmon roe was slightly smaller and darker than I had expected but the taste was really good because they were not as salty as the big ones.
+++++
Signature Hokkai Don:
If you want a mix of everything, then the Hokkai Don is a good choice.
+++++++++++
They also have these mini dons which are good for sharing.
+++++
Hot Mini Don $208
0 讚好
Tuna Mini Don $248
+++++
There is a hot eel don with soup that you pour in:
+++++
Soy Milk Mochi with Brown Sugar:
For dessert, the soy milk mochi was delish because the texture was the same as Okinawan peanut tofu but with a strong soy bean taste.
+++++
My melon drink was fantastic as it was light and natrual with a strong melon taste.

Coconut Water Espresso Shakerato
2017-04-24 498 瀏覽
I got this drink because I love coconut water.
To be honest, it was probably a waste of money because you can just buy some coconut water and pour some espresso on top.
######
coffee espresso:
I liked it because of the sweetness of the coconut water which cut through the bitterness of the espresso.
The coffee gets weaker if you drink half of it while letting the icecubes melt.
Also I requested for the minimal shot of coffee which made the drink palatable.

Tycoons getaway in MK
2017-04-24 1634 瀏覽
This restaurant is located in the outskirts of MK so it is quieter which is good for gatherings.
Went here to get away from the crowd.
Started with the double boiled papaya with assorted seafood.
The soup was light crammed with lots of seafood and the papaya was soft and sweet.
The almond lung soup tasted quite creamy whilst the almond wasn't that strong.
Although the eel had a lot of bones, it was really crisp with a sweet coating that was a delight to eat.
The vegetables were crisp and tender.
The roast pork was a tricky one because it was thick cut which locals don't appreciate, while as an expat I loved the thickness because I got some real meat here and not fatty bits.
The prawns were big and succulent however the sauce was a bit too strong.

Finished with rice in seafood soup which was crammed with so much seafood.
The crispy rice added some texture to it.
Finished with the mango and pomelo sorbet.
A fantastic ending because I didn't expect this playful dessert.

Went here because I love pastas.
There was an interesting Tomyumkung pasta so went here for it.
Started with pumpkin soup which was warm and comforting.For appetizers had the ravioli because I just love these pasta parcels filled with cheese.The tomyumkung pasta was interesting because the sauce was creamy yet it tasted surprisingly good however it was quite salty.

It was my third time trying this place so we had some different dishes.
Started with uni which was so big it was the like the size of a human tongue served with other fresh sashimi.

The clams in clear broth was my favourite because it was seasoned with salt and pepper bringing out the delicate flavours of the clams.
The glass vermicelli is the essence of the dish because it has soaked up the delicious broth.

Then there is crispy abalone which is coated in a lovely light coating infused with garlic, pepper and their secret spices which does not over power the natrual taste of the abalone.

Crispy rice vermicelli topped with lobster and cheese sauce:
This was my favourite because it was unique and different, the fried rice vermicelli actually tastes really good with the cheesy sauce.

Pudding:
I really liked this pudding especially the Yakult jelly because it was different!!
So far no other place in Hong Kong serves it.

Comparing Musang and D24 durian
2017-04-23 403 瀏覽
Went here because I love durian.
I tried Musang and D24, although I liked D24 more, I think it was hard comparing which durian was better because one of the desserts was hot and the other cold.
Before trying the dessert, I started with the cheese snow cake which was made of rice for the pastry hence the pure white colour and it had a nice chew as well as a crisp surface.
Inside, it was oozing with a cheese sauce.
0 讚好
Then I had a snow cake filled with Musang durian.
The Durian tasted very strong but not very sweet, strangely I would describe it as a garlicky taste.
0 讚好
Next I had rolls filled with D24 which was more palatable than Musang because it was sweeter.
Again, the roll pastry was soft and elastic that it does not rip.
0 讚好
Comparing the two, I like D24 more but both the snow cakes and rolls are delicious.
Finished with a thick healthy avocado milkshake that was not sweetened.
They have savoury snacks as well which I will try like the squid stuffed with rice.

A place to cure lamb cravings

I don't know why but I just love Cumin so I was drawn here.
Cumin is normally paired with lamb and sprinkled on skewers which is just what this joint serves.
As well as the skewers, the rice with minced lamb sauce is a must order.
It was breathtaking watching him grill the meat and you can even feel the flames so I guess don't stand too close!
I wonder how he is going to cope with that heat later when the temperatures are going to reach 32 degrees C plus!!
0 讚好
As well as grilling the meats, it is then torched to ensure that hard to reach areas are evenly done.

Here was what I had:
++++++
Chicken wings stuffed with glutinous rice:
I am not keen on stuffed chicken wings but I loved this because it wasn't too oily or fat after the way they grilled and torched it.
The glutinous rice in the middle had a good flare of spice that gives it a good spice kick that doesn't linger.

To be honest, I found the lamb skewer and lamb chop quite similar but it depends if you prefer chunks of lamb or a juicy lamb rack.

Now to the star of the show, MINCED LAMB WITH RICE.
Looking very spicy with generous flakes of chili, I was fooled because it was not spicy at all and the minced lamb was so tasty and lean which was delicious with the rice.
If you mix the egg, it becomes even more heavenly with the richness of the egg yolk.
It would be great if they had an onsen egg which you could completely mix it in.
The courgette slices were sweet and tasty and I liked the way it was evenly cooked.

They have herbal teas in the fridge because the Chinese believe that herbal teas must be drunk after consuming some grilled food.
