I went to Kwaihing on a food crawl getting food from stalls which looked potentially good.
Unfortunately, four out of four were not good.
This was my first stop because I wanted some carbs and the fact that I love buckwheat soba noodles and spicy chicken and this had both of the things I liked.
The soba noodles looked a bit different because they were flat strands like tagliatelle but the texture was ok.
The only complaint were the noodles because they were TOO SALTY that it was not really fit for consumption.
Technically you can eat it but you are just going to harm your health.
Anyway, the chicken was good, it was springy fresh and tasty.
$20 is a good deal for this but not a good deal when you can't eat it.

I went to Kwaihing on a food crawl getting food from stalls which looked potentially good.
Unfortunately, four out of four were not good.
This was the second one I tried because there were eight different suimai flavours:
shiitake mushroom, beef, black fungus, Spicy black fungus, cordeceps flower, mountain yam, cheese and bacon and sweetcorn truffle.
Decided to get $10 for 4 but after I paid found out the one I wanted wasn't available so I wasn't too impressed.
However she did give me some other flavour which was starchy which explains why there are 4.5 siumai's on the stick!
The texture was weird and stodgy.
The only decent tasting one was the Spicy Sichuan one which somehow tasted like British pork sausages.

Pacific Coffee x Vitasoy... More than just coffee
2017-08-14  296 瀏覽
PC celebrates their silver jubilee this year by collaborating with Vitasoy, a local brand that all Hong Kongers know.
Hence there are a collection of Vitasoy-inspired coffee drinks and food as well as a limited edition co-branded glass mug.
The Black Soya Panna Cotta with Quinoa & Chia Seed is served in this cute little mug jar with a lid so I had to get it.
It was so silky and delicious with a rich bean taste and it comes with a matching wooden spoon.
For drinks, had the ​Iced Vitasoy Soyabean Milk Latte which is Vitasoy Soyabean Milk mixed with their signature 18/25 Altura coffee, with black sugar jelly added to the bottom and crispy whole oat sprinkled on top.
 The taste is smooth with a crispy twist yet it was quite delightfully bittersweet.

I love Okinawan food so got the Mozuku seaweed in Shikuwasa citrus vinegar.
The texture is a bit like soft glass vermicelli but slightly chewier and viscous.
As for the taste, it was flavoured in citrus vinegar so it was very refreshing.
The seaweed is extremely tangled so you end up with a mouthful!
While I was choosing what to get, I was quite shocked some mmaaiinnlanders were opening the boxes and smelling them which is not hygienic!

Went here with friends for Happy Hour because of this instagram worthy Japanese sangria which comes in a huge fish shaped bottle just like the sushi ones.

The Sangria is a concoction of Japanese red wine, zuisen red tea liquer and Japanese citrus fruits.
It was very strong but the fruits helped to balance it.

There is an open bar area where you can watch the mixiologist do his magic.
Managed to catch him carve an iceball which was done in a flash!
For nibbles had the Negitoro wrap sushi which was creamy with a strong unami taste.

As a fan of Nissin noodles, I had to check out the Nissin ramen popup at LOF10 in Causeway Bay where they have decorated the place like a ramen joint with ramen bowls and Nissin figures.
On the menu special, there are four sets to choose from ranging from $88-$108, all including a noodle, dessert and drink.
For me, it is super difficult to decide which one to get but in the end I narrowed it down to the two.
It was either the soup or the one with luncheon meat so I settled for the soup one because of the okra.
The ramen turned out really good because the softness was just right and the broth was good with a poached egg which makes the broth even richer.
For dessert, there was the bubble eggette topped with syrup and rose petals.

Finished with a satisfying latte.

I absolutely love this place because it is expat friendly and a place where you can appreciate Chinese teas from Wu Yi.
Tried the set where you get two different teas and some nibbles.
The first pot of tea is done by them so you roughly know hot to brew the tea.

In terms of taste, my favourite is now the Wu Yi Narcissus which has a floral note.
Their teas are graded so you can choose the price range that you want.
As for the nibbles, the cookies were buttery and crumbly.
