I love Yunnan food (known as the DIAN cuisine) but there are not many places for it.There is one in Kowloon City but there are more options here like soup, strange insects and Chinese cheeses!!
Started off with a memorable glutinous rice tea which was really fragrant.
Unfortunately, they give you some pickles which are charged.

Here was the food I had:
+++++++++
As a carbs lover, I got the rice with peas and Chinese ham which was delicious because it was fluffy and tasty flavoured by the ham and sweet peas.
 0 讚好


++++++++
The beef with lemon was an interesting combination so I decided to try it out and the taste was surprisingly good because the lemon made it appetizing.

++++++
Chinese cheese was a must for me but there were two types on the menu Rubing and Rushan.
I had to ask the staff which one was the savoury one because one is sweet and crispy served with rose!

The cheese tasted like halloumi cheese flavoured by the saltiness of the ham.
++++++++++
For dessert finished with their famous dumplings in rose essence!

A paradise for fish maw delicacies with noodles

Discovered this place while trying this new restaurant nearby.
 0 讚好

They specialize in fish maw, sea cucumber and shark fin.
There are soups, appetizers and noodles which makes it a headache to choose because there are so many options that look good.
To my surprise, it is affordable because you can get fish maw noodles for $6x and they don't charge 10%.
As well as that, there is a set for $148 including soup which you can choose from the menu.

I decided to get a soup with everything because I couldn't decide which soup to get!~!!
It was really nourishing with a delicate sweet taste loaded with treasures.

The fish maw noodle was satisfying because you get lots of noodles which won't leave you hungry.
The piece of fish maw was huge covered in delicious gravy which complemented the noodles well.

Definitely coming back for the soba noodles which wasn't available as the pairing of soba noodles and shark fin sound interesting.

Found out about this new branch as I was in TST to collect some mooncakes.

Tsuta is Michelin-starred ramen from Tokyo with it's first branch in CWB.
The TST branch is conveniently opposite the traffic lights so you don't have to walk far from the MTR station.
I ordered the MISO SOBA because it is exclusive here and I like MISO anyway.

When it came, the broth was dark and strong that you could smell the miso ramen coming your way.
 0 讚好

The ramen they use is different to the one they use for the truffle and salt which I have previously tried in CWB,

Perhaps, I am biased but I liked this one because the miso was strong and the noodles hung the broth well.
You can see specks in the noodle too and they are slightly flat and broader than the one used for the truffle broth.

The sweetcorn and diced onions gave it extra depth while the broth had a really strong unami taste as there are porcini mushrooms in it.

Let your inner child out with this Unicorn set
2017-09-23  1265 瀏覽
I am obsessed with rainbows and pastel colours so this Pure Eternity Unicorn themed set is just for me.Its pretty, girly and dreamy.
The price is the same as the other sets which costs $298/person with 10% (Min 2 people).
If you register with the #orderlook website and order a gif picture of yourself with the Unicorn theme, your friend gets to eat free when you show the staff your GIF!

To start you get the Soothing Love tea which is chocolate tea served with a candyfloss cloud above it.
The candyfloss melts away like rain into the tea by the steam vapour.

In the savoury section you get:
Smoked salmon tart x 2
Lemongrass pork tart x 2
Spicy pork tart x 2
Cheese tart x 2
Cheese sausage roll x 1

In the sweet section you get:

I found myself munching the cookies which were buttery and crumbly.
On the savory section, the Latvian cheese was amazing because they were similar to FETA cheese sprinkled with herbs.
The sausage roll is filling and piping hot, yet the sausage meat is moist and well baked in the pastry complimented by the Ketchup.
The chocolates were also from Latvia and one of them is filled with liquor.

A few years ago, there was a craze for a special bread that had lots of layers.The toast is similar to a cruffin but in bread shape.
Tried it without the syrup and it tastes like a buttery croissant with bread texture and lots of layers.
After adding the maple syrup, the sweetness blends in with the buttery taste making it more palatable.

Condensed milk and meat floss is also available.

Went here for lunch because I wanted to try the soba noodles but unfortunately it was sold out.Should have trusted by sixth sense not to come.
Anyway, as everywhere was packed, ended up staying and choosing the herbal chicken with rice.
 0 讚好

The broth had a really strong herb taste to the point it was bitter.
For the other set, had noodles which came with crispy beancurd and pork belly.
The noodles were great but the strands kept breaking.
I really liked the crispy pork belly but it was rather fat but the shrimp paste flavouring was really good.

There are some good places in QB but often it's sold out due to more demand than supply so I normally avoid QB if I can.

[Review 6203] Oyster udon @ 八沢 Hachi Sawa

I have always wanted to try the oyster udon here but forgot about it.Since the place opposite was closed, I ended up here.
It is nicely decorated.
The udon is elastic and slightly flat with a slight translucent surface which soaked the broth nicely.
The broth was light with bits of mince and seaweed that wasn't too salty and the oysters were plump with a strong taste.
For drinks, had the strawberry fizz and homemade herbal drink which was quite sweet.
