I really enjoyed dining here because you order from the device which has a summary of what you have ordered.
When you submit your order the train will move.
The sushi was fresh complimented nicely by the wasabi and soy sauce.
The two dishes that I really recommend are the octopus with Monkfish liver and Crab salad.
++++
octopus with Monkfish liver:
The octopus and monkfish liver was in this extremely refreshing vinaigrette with seaweed so it was very appetizing and the Monkfish liver was velvety.
++++
The crab paste salad had so much fresh  on top of the lettuce with fresh crab paste on top.
There was my favourite butter lettuce beneath it which was crisp and sweet.

+++++

Went back because the roast pork was so good on the last visit.
However I was really disappointed on this visit because the roast pork was hard and dry.
Also had the chicken liver which was hard and bitter so definitely wasted my quota coming here.

[Review 6106] Menu is slightly diff to Whampoa @ 早安越南 Chao Chao

I went here because I saw avocado milkshake but unfortunately this item and some others are only available at the Whampoa branch.
Anyway, decided to stay for the food anyway.
The beef with red rice was ok but the rice lacked tomato flavour and it was just fried rice.
The salted lemon drink was just the usual, ie a salty lemon plonked in water, so it was salty.


The Danang noodles with black glass vermicelli was my favourite and I am so glad I ordered it because the broth tastes a bit like Tomyum but much better because it has basil leaves which make it very fragrant and it does not have those annoying lemongrass leaves.

You can't miss this place because of the bright shop front and the girly interior.Finally tried it as I was in the area.
Tried the grilled set and a donburi.
They show you the set before it is grilled and then the guy takes it away and prepares it for you.
It had a lovely smell when it was done and the crab paste was the best because it was rich with a strong unami taste, best with rice.

My next favourite was the crab leg, again it was sweet and moist.

My friend had the scallop and razor clam.


Here was the donburi which was just photogenic.

The uni was the cutest I have seen but tinier compared to the product picture.
Even though they were tiny, the taste was amazing, they were creamy and complimented the rice nicely and the crabmeat, salmon roe and salmon were all fresh and wonderful.

Took some tourists here because they were fed up with local and Cantonese food.
The noodles impressed them the most because the noodles were fine with a good firmness to it and the broth was strong and it had a rich peanut taste.
It was quite spicy so I will probably ask for it to be less spicy next time.
The vegetable buns were soft and fluffy with deliciously chopped jade green vegetables and black fungus inside.

A croissant muffin hybrid
2017-07-30  758 瀏覽
The cruffin which is a pastry hybrid of a croissant and a muffin was only previously available at posh bakeries in London and some other countries.
It is meant to be crisp and flaky like a croissant and soft doughy like a muffin on the inside.
You can get it at Marks and Sparks as well as this Japanese inspired Chinese bakery A1 group but their version is weird as it is covered in icing.

At Marks and Sparks, there are three different flavours – chocolate and hazelnut, Seville orange and strawberry and Marc de champagne, at £1.50 in the UK and $25 in Hong Kong.
I was a bit disappointed because it was not doughy and soft in the middle and it was just a croissant all the way through but shaped like a muffin.
Never the less, both the Strawberry and orange flavours were good because jam and croissants always go together.
The chocolate was a bit rich and tasted like a pain du chocolat filled with nutella paste.

Discovered this joint on the way to SheungWan.
Fete Up is modern with an open counter where you can see all the fresh and colourful food selections.
There is a digital ordering kiosk with octopus or paywave payment methods which is very convenient.

Each meal box has a good combination of carbohydrates, protein and fats that are important for maintaining good health.
Luckily for me I don't gain weight but I love rice and here they have so many different rice options like coconut rice, tea rice, pilaf rice etc.

Unfortunately the Hakka Thunder tea was sold out so I had the meal boxes.

It was really good they let me sample all the rices because I just love rice and it reminds me of yummy Persian rice which is colourful and flavoured.
The Kashmiri curry yoghurt chicken was very spicy but my favourite and the Asian coleslaw had a fresh light crunch to it.


The Achar pickles were quite tart and the Sichuan Cauliflower was another good pick.


Anyway, I am so glad to have tried this place because I love it and hope to be back soon for the Thunder tea rice.
I also tried the avocado milk which was thick and creamy sweetened with palm sugar.
