Big rainbow dumplings

Previously missed their stall when they were at other events in Central.
Tried it finally as all the trucks were in Central and I chose this one because their shop is in Yuen Long which is too far for me to trek.
Basically you get six dumplings for $40, there are five different colours so you get an extra dumpling of a random colour.
The dumplings were big, each colour is a different flavour, my favourite was the sweetcorn one because it was juicy with pieces of sweetcorn in it.
It would be great if the sauce wasn't so sweet though but I like the way it was served separately.

On the last visit, I tried their modern dumplings like cheese, sweetcorn that I didn't have room for the traditional ones.This time I went back for the traditional ones.
There seem to be more sauces and condiments on the table and the pickled cucumber was the most interesting because it tastes exactly like burger relish!!
Started with the golden preserved eggs which I think taste better than the black version because the ammonia taste isn't there and it is more like jelly with a thick runny yolk in the middle.

Next was the noodles because I just wanted to have some noodles so that I could whack in some condiments and stuff.


Had the Matsuke mushroom dumplings again which tasted as good as before and two traditional ones with cabbage and choysum.


To be honest, the traditional ones were really good and the cabbage one was the best.





While I was eating, I discovered this huge display dumpling in the kitchen!!

Saw this newly listed restaurant on openrice but couldn't quite figure what it was so went there.
It seems an undiscovered spot as it wasn't that busy on a sat afternoon.
Anyway, they do lots of fancy dimsums
and filling dishes to share.
The rice was fantastic because the grains of rice were long and distinct with a fragrance.
My favourite was the roast pork buns as the meat was lean and the sauce was so aromatic it tasted like there was Chinese wine in it.
The custard bun was really good but the filling wasn't runny.

French toast with runny centres

Although the French toasts appear to be a clone of chau kei in syp.
They have this interesting riceroll in soup which I didn't try.
There are two choices for toast: taro or custard.
The custard was actually quite good because it wasn't too sweet.
The prawn dumplings were disappointing because they were too soft and break when you pick them up. Luckily, they come in twos which is better than having four crappy ones.

After collecting my food and going to the dining area I wasn't impressed when I saw those Garden buns.
Paying for an expensive burger and getting local buns!!!!
Anyway, the fries were not good either, they were too burnt and crunchy but the salt made it taste slightly better.
The sugar sachets are also from Hong Kong!!!!!

[Review 6009] Stopped by for dessert @ Ocio

I thought this place only served desserts but they have pastas and other options as well.
As I just had dinner, I ordered the melon for dessert.
It was interesting because I thought it was a souffle pancake in the middle so I was curious how it would support the icecream on top but when it arrived I discovered it was not a souffle pancake but a cakey type pancake.
The melon was strange, it was not ripe as the texture was very hard yet it was syrupy sweet.
The popcorn was a bit stale as the texture was soft and chewy.

This restaurant has been here for ages but I have never tried it until today because there are too many temptations in Central and Sheungwan.
Finally tried it on a sunday when lots of other places were closed.
Although it was pricey, the roast pork was amazing, you get to choose which cut to have and the menu clearly says that in English too.
The pork was soft and tender and the fat didn't annoy me with a great taste.
There have been lots of negative reviews so I was either lucky or it was sunday so the staff are not so pressured and more relaxed.
