A new hangout in Jordan

This place used to be a good place for French food but now it is a modern bar with delicious bar bites.
I am glad the new place is also good or I would be upset the French place has gone.
Started with the Strawberry paradise which was so good because it wasn't too sweet and there were lots of crushed strawberries in it.

Started with Diamond clams and Mussels in beer poppy sauce.Both were fresh and sweet.
They have a seafood pot which has all that and crab claws, but my favourites are mussels and diamond clams so I got them separately.

To my astonishment, there was grilled Kinki fish costing $98 (which used to cost around $1000 in Japanese restaurants.).
The fish was delicate and the skin was crispy.


++++++
The beef was a little bit tough and fat for my liking.

Discovered this donut latte at the convenience store so decided it try it even thought it is evidently latte with a squirt of Monins doughnut flavoured syrup.
I wouldn't describe the donut taste as strong but it was a nice latte that was not too sweet with a cakey sweet aroma to it.
It is interesting to see them offering lunches as well.

Fancy having lobster at a tea house, now you can at DK Cuppa or on board one of their boat trips.
There are more savory items which make it fit for dinner or a slightly heavier tea set for guys.
Started with the mushroom soup which was nice and earthy.
Next the star of the show was the Maine lobster which is torched in front of you.
I was surprised the lobster was actually quite springy with lots of Tomalley which enhances the taste of the lobster.
You also get veggie chips including okra which are addictive.
There is a white chocolate and crispy rice puff doggy that is too cute to eat.

Healthy menus yet tasty to indulge

I have previously tried this place for lunch so I knew the food was going to taste great.
In the evenings, they have a set menu for those who are carbs/calorie conscious.
Started with the drinks and there were so many that were good.
I had the green one which was good for detoxing while tasting great.

For the mains, I had the Chicken Thai basil which was served on cauliflower rice.
Cauliflower rice is basically finely chopped cauliflower florets and by using cauliflower to replace rice, it is a smart way of getting fibres while skipping carbs.
This dish was very flavourful because of the herbs and spices.

Next was the whole wheat spaghetti in pesto, another one of my favourites because it was creamy with balanced pesto in it.

The seared cod was flakey while the skin was crispy.
A great dish fish lovers will enjoy.

As well as Sheungwan, CheckCheckCin has another branch in CWB.
Another great option for drinks which are healthy.
I got the dry throat healing tea which tastes great just like a Chinese soup with a ginseng aftertaste.

While I was there,  I had my favourite raspberry almond milk which is really soothing and not too sweet.
It was a surprisingly wonderful combination.
I had it hot (served warm), any hotter than and that I don't think it would taste nice.
To my amazement it had real raspberries in it, not sure if they were fresh or frozen but at least they were not the dehydrated ones.
There should be more raspberries in the picture but it tasted so good I drank half of it before I took pictures.
Not to mention the benefits for health, I loved the taste because it was so natural especially the raspberry and you could taste hints of almond as well without being too milky.
Normally milk doesn't mix with sour berries but in this case almond milk does.
The beauty is that this drink tastes good hot or cold so it depends on what mood you're in.
I will definitely be back for the new strawberry drink.

I have walked past so many times but never noticed this place because it is dark and grubby.
Discovered this place from social media so decided to risk getting the shxts to try it out because it really does look grubby.
I got the shredded chicken vermicelli which was BOILING HOT when it came, it was too hot for me to even take the bowl to the table.
There was so much vermicelli in it and the chicken soup was surprisingly good.
Well, I didn't get any unpleasant effects the next day so I guess the hot temperatures did the work~~

Tried Amina in CWB and TST years and years ago.
Decided to go again because it is a good place to relax with fine dining.
Began with assorted bread and amuse bouche which was melon and parma ham.
Next was the scallop which was on a bed of healthy quinoa and cauliflower puree.
Unfortunately the consomme had been changed to tomato which was equally as refreshing.
Next was the Lobster bisque which was rich paired with dried prawn roe.

The foie gras was just as fancy, topped with an abundance of crushed pistachios which gave it a lovely nutty flavour.

The Guava sorbet was served just before the mains, I found it quite sweet but my friend found it refreshing.

For the mains, it was my favourite soft and gelatinous beef cheek, the red wine sauce was fantastic.
There was a side of couscous which didn't look like couscous because it was served like risotto in a creamy pesto sauce.

Finished with cheesecake and petit fours.
Overall, it was quite a satisfying meal.
