Cheese and mash
2017-09-06  383 瀏覽
Went here specifically for the cheese and mash because I love cheese and potatoes.
Decided to get a takeout because it stank of fish in the shop and there was noting else I wanted so there was no point dining there and getting charged 10%.
It looked quite different to the picture, it was basically mash in a foil dish and not a ball of mash.
The taste was good but I wish it was cheesier and it was a little bit sweet because of the salad cream.

Tried both branches and I don't like this branch because the cutlery isn't that clean and service was not as good.
Ordered the tempura eel which was fried perfectly but the eel had too many hard prickly bones.
The staff didn't tell me about the salts until I asked.

Other than that, the taste was ok, it tasted like battered fish with lots of bones and the salt enhanced the taste.

Went here for a light dinner so chose pasta instead of meat.
The appetizers are good so had two.
The salmon tartare was dressed in tangy yoghurt topped with a poached egg which made it rich and creamy when blended in, perfect with the baguette slices.
The other was seared tuna which came with salad and it was dressed in refreshing sauce and diced cucumbers.
The pasta tossed in ink sauce was really fragrant and the clams were really fresh and sweet.

Heard of Mike's from Sai Kung but SK is troublesome so when I found out they were at The Mira I decided to go and check it out.
The restaurant is spacious with good vibes.
Began with some decent bread that was piping hot with a lovely yeasty aroma served with olives and butter.
For appetizers had the bacalhau and cheese toast.
The cheese toast had a strong cheese smell but strangely it was sweet.
The Bacalhau fared better.
The potato soup was really comforting because you could really taste the potato.

For mains had the Brazilian Curry with lemon rice.
The lemon rice was so good on its own but even better with the fragrant sweet curry that had banana slices in it.
Finished with the desserts which were just as good especially the cinnamon toast which tasted like a delicious sugar and cinnamon coated donuts.
The green cream brulee was amazing because it was a silky pot of blended avocado and lime which was really refreshing.

My friend had the apple pie.

Noodles all the way from Yuen Long
2017-09-03  135 瀏覽
Finally tried it because this is a noodle joint from Yuen Long in the New Territories so wanted to compare it with the one in Sai Kung also in the New Territories.

The queues are long and it was packed with people, the floorplan is not an effective use of space but rather it causes congestion because the queue at the entrance separates the two sides of the restaurant.
All I can say is portions are big and it was very spicy.
They must have paid a lot to keep that huge bamboo banner up there as most surrounding shops would have complained or taken legal action.
There was so much seaweed in the noodles and it was clean without any grit however the soup was extremely salty.
The blood curds were rather sweet but then that is how they are meant to taste.
The kaya toasts were really good as the bread was light and airy which went well with the sweet paste.

[Review 6176] Taro noodles @ 太平洋咖啡 Pacific Coffee

Intrigued with these taro noodles I decided to give them a try, it wasn't starchy as anticipated but they had a normal pasta texture.

The only complaint would be the portion size because it is really too small that I would need three boxes to fill me up.
I was really impressed with the noodles because they were not clumped together as most chilled noodles are.


The black soy milk mayonnaise gave it a nice creamy flavour without being too sickly.

I was expecting the chicken to be dry slices of chicken breast but it was totally soft and tender.
To  be honest, I think it is processed chicken like chicken ham or the stuff you get in chicken nuggets because the texture looks reprocessed.

Since the last visit, they have some new truffle dumplings.So ordered the truffle dumplings and the matsuke dumplings.
Both were really good but I prefer the Matsuke because it has an earthy taste.
The truffle was also ok but not as outstanding as the Matsuke.
Also had the cabbage dumplings which were really tasty with lots of cabbage which a juicy crunch to it.
Finished with the golden preserved eggs which had a fair bit of runny yolk in it so it was delicious and rich.
