漁吉海鮮丼專門店 ISAKICHI
九龍城衙前圍道84號地下A舖
Shop A, 84 Nga Tsin Wai Road, Kowloon City
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/the-new-talk-of-town-e2868371
This place is very welcoming because it is on the corner of the road with simplistic Japanese decor and big glass windows.Once inside, you don't feel like you're in Kowloon City because of the music and vibes.
The main choice of food is donburis.
There is a flask of hot soup on every table for diners which is rather comforting.
You get quite a few bowls of soup out of it (not sure if they offer refills or not though).
For drinks had the melon and apple.
Personally I liked the melon.
The steamed egg was silky and smooth with a fragrant eggy taste topped with fresh crabmeat on top.
My donburi was grilled salmon and salmon roe, sprinkled with generous glistening crab roe.
There was so much rice that I couldn't finish because every bowl has a standard of 200 grams of rice.
Anyway, my salmon was perfectly grilled, pink on the inside and peach on the outside.
The lime turned out to be the star of the show because the lime juice made it very appetizing.
My friend has the assorted donburi which he really liked, especially the squid which was flavoured well.

[Review 6194] buy1get1free craze @ 星巴克咖啡 Starbucks Coffee

星巴克咖啡 Starbucks Coffee
上環皇后大道中328號中源中心地下G61-62舖
Shop nos. G61-62, G/F., Midland Centre,328 Queen's Road West, Sheung Wan
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/buy1get1free-craze-e2868363
This was a while ago when Starbucks offered the buy1get1free offer for the frappucino.
Luckily they had two brilliant flavours that time so I got one of each.
The green tea frapp was blended smoothly and it was ice cold, perfect on a hot day with a balanced grassiness.
The coffee frapp was strong and the coffee flavour was fragrant but a little too sweet because I forgot to ask for less syrup.
Anyway, this branch handled the queue very efficiently.

This place is good if you get there early otherwise you have to sit at the bar which is a waste.
Dishes are creative.
Tried the chilled noodles which were tasty presented in a modern way.
They tasted good accompanied by the tomato consomme, the noodles were firm and springy with pieces of juicy tomatoes.
Might return to try the other dishes.

Custard mooncakes rarely fail to please and these were delicious.
It had a delicious custard flavour to it and the pastry was soft and buttery.
They tasted good cold or heated but personally I prefer them warmed up because the custard becomes fragrant and the texture is not so sugary.
As well as custard, they also have assorted flavours which are probably good as well.

Discovered this place when I was walking along Winglok Street. The banner caught my attention so I went in and had a look.
To my surprise, there were so many colourful salads to choose from and they had lots of fruit in them too.
It was really hard deciding because everything looked good and the drinks too because there were so many to choose from.
One of the drinks had tofu just like the strawberry tofu shake at YunYang which closed down.
Anyway, in the end I had the Waldorf salad, soba noodles and spinach salad with prawns.
It was such a tasty and simple salad with minimal dressings so it was healthy.
Finished with the avocuddle which was a blend of avocado, banana and matcha.
Again I was overjoyed with that because it wasn't too sweet and there were no sweeteners so I left the shop feeling full and content knowing that I had a healthy meal!

I had a good time on my first visit here so decided to go again.
Since my last visit, the menu has changed and there are more choices.
It is really comforting that there are lots of Western choices and even more comforting because they serve Strozzapreti and Fregola.
Anyway, the Fregola sarda with US Manila clams was amazing because the clams were fresh and the fregola soaked the sauce.
The Strozzapreti with crabmeat, bacon and uni turned out to be as good as expected because I love twisted pasta pieces and it was tasty because of the sauce.
Went for the Sous vide French Quail stuffed with abalone and chestnut because this is not often on the menu.
The quail was tender and tasted good with or without the marsala gravy.
Finished with the drinks which were all presented in a stylish way.
I had the vegetarian which is how it is suppose to taste, ie grassy.

Tried the 20th Anniversary afternoon tea set and it felt like having the classics of chachaanteng food summarised into a tea set.
There was the classic French toast stuffed with cheese and salty beef.
The spring rolls also stole the show because they were stuffed with instant noodles with spicy pork cubes.
Other tasty classics included shrimp toast, fried chicken drumstick and the classic chicken pie!!
For the sweets, there was red bean pudding, horlicks chocolate tart and ovaltine cupcake.
The mini cupcakes totally transport you to the feeling of being in a chachaanteng because the shape of the cake is like those thick rimmed cups.
Anyway, I loved the savouries, especially the fried chicken which was perfectly fried and juicy in the middle.
