A new discovery

Normally I choose the dishes when I come here but my friend chose them this time and discovered a naan that was so delicious!!!!!!
Basically it was the green onion naan which I thought was just naan with green onions!!

When it came, it looked like a naan with green onions but when you eat it, the taste will take you by surprise because it was so fragrant and addictive.
It tastes like naan with the Chinese spring onion and ginger puree that is paired with chicken.



Also had the Baigan bharta and chicken curry, both were quite spicy.



The broccoli was stir fried with garlic so you can imagine the taste.

Also had the Salmon Tandoori which was a surprise, it was a huge chunky fish.

Given a second chance to try Mr.Greek

At the beginning of this year, I was bored so went to MK and discovered Mr.Greek so decided to go the next day but shockingly when I got there it was closed
Anyway, it was odd that it was in MK anyway.

Mr Greek is from Canada and they serve Greek food as well as POUTINE.
Again, I discovered this shop by luck because I was trying restaurants nearby.


There were not many people as they have only been open for two weeks.

Started with spanakopita which was flaky filled with spinach and cheese.
It was flaky and stuffed with lots of spinach, a great appetizer if you like light snacks.

Also had the moussaka which was piping hot loaded with minced lamb and layers of potatoes and aubergines.
Tasted similar to British shepherds pie but the lamb was very strong.

[Review 6042] Simplistic neat joint @ スーパー丼 Superdon

There was something special about this joint because the decor was just white tiles and the cutlery was plain and simple like Muji.
Had two sets, the seafood don was really good but pricey.
The tuna and scallops were fresh along with a good assortment of sashimi.
All sets came with salad and soup and the salad was refreshing because the dressing was tangy and the salad leaves were crisp.
Also had the chicken and egg but compared to the sashimi don, it wasn't as fancy.

Finally passed by when the LuiSangChun building was open.
Tried to apply for the tour but it was cancelled.
Anyway, decided to get the tea for fun which was unsweetened but not too bitter.
There were four different teas so it depends on how you feel but the lady there should be experienced enough to identify your symptoms and serve you the appropriate tea.

I was walking to Yau Ma Tei in the sweltering heat when I noticed this bright blue shop so took a look.
It was out of place but stood out because of the bold design and fonts.
The name of the joint cooled me down a bit.
When I got nearer, I realized it was a sandwich joint and they had some homemade icecreams.
As it was stifling hot, I decided to get the avocado icecream since it was a rare flavour.
It was a bit icy but perfect on a hot day with a nice avocado flavour and real bits of avocado it it.

After dining at Hummus TLV, I discovered this shop and some other good eateries.
Went here because of the smoothie and burgers.
It was a horrible hot day so had the spinach and banana smoothie to cool myself down.
I liked the way you could taste the spinach and it was not fully blended so there were bits of spinach in it.

For starters had the cheese platter and olives.
The cheese selection was actually quite good and all of them tasted decent.

For mains, had the Okinawan taco rice and wagyu burger with egg.
The rice was very flavourful because there was a spicy tangy tomato sauce and the minced beef was good.


The burger totally surprised me because the egg was really creamy and tender as it was omelette style while the beef was juicy.

There is a saying "give me a break" which means that person wants a break from that person or issue bothering them.
Maybe the cat here was really bothered by something or someone so I didn't get a chance to see it.
Anyway, I settled for the apple crumble cheesecake.
It was loaded with delicious crisp sweet cubes of apple and the ratio of apple and cheesecake was about half half so it was a very light cheesecake to eat.

The crumble and cinnamon flavour was really nice and palatable.
