Fruit sandwich

I was really intrigued by this fruit sandwich so decided to part with $22 to try it out.
As you can see, there are mangoes, kiwi and strawberries.
On first bite, it was delicious because of the sweet cream and fruit.
However, there is no filling at the back which is common with all Chinese sandwiches!
It is never filled at the back.
The mini bananas looked cute so I took a photo.
The rice crepe was tempting as well because the pastry is made of rice.

I don't really have hotpots because its always meat, meat and meat.Went here because of the decor, it feels like someones home back in the 1970s with the signature green floor tiles and mint green electrical appliances.

There were sauces and condiments but frankly, I normally just mix soy sauce and chili because if it is fresh it shouldn't need all those sauces.

unfortunately, the hotpots are preset, so we chose the lighter option.

I really liked the broth because it was clear and tasty, there was chicken in it where they will help you cut it into smaller pieces.

One of my favourite items was the dumplings filled with crab meat.
It was real tasty crabmeat inside and not surumi imitation crab.
As well as that, the vegetables were good because I Iove vegetables.
Didn't like the noodles because they were the chewy type.

Went here because of the satay broth.
The prices were reasonable and I was impressed with the hardback cover menu and there was English and Chinese.
There were so many different combinations that it was hard to decide on what to eat.
I got the satay broth with noodles and octopus.
It was very tasty because the broth was not too sweet and it was not oily but slightly spicy.

The lemon tea is good and if you order the large size, it is good for two people to share.

[Review 6246] Worst mooncake I had this year 2017 @ 嘉麟樓 Spring Moon

It didn't have an appetizing smell to start with.
after microwaving it for 10 seconds, the room stunk.
baffled with this pungent odour I took a bite and had to spit it out because it was that bad.
the butter was really rancid and the filling didn't taste right.

I wasn't really impressed on my first visit but the pizzas tasted much better on this visit.
Interesting presentation of Iced Lemon tea.
The squid rings were a bit bland.

Anyway, the best things were the pizzas!!
Both the dough bases were chewy, soft and crispy because they were freshly made.
Tried two different pizzas and I loved the BBQ chicken because it was smothered in punchy BBQ sauce and my favourite red onions.
The pasta was reasonably good, tangy tomato sauce and the texture of the pasta was al-dente.

I don't really bother with the fried chicken in HK because the coating is just different from the original.Anyway, decided to try the pork rice which comes with an onsen egg.
The pork bolognese was really watery like diarrhea however it tasted quite nice while being a little bit too spicy and salty.
The seaweed fish nuggets were rather disappointing because it was mostly air in the middle and the fish was dry and chewy.

[Review 6243] Spicy night at [THE BALCONY] @ The Balcony

I don't normally dine in this building but one of my favourite Chefs is there so I decided to try it out.
He said the food was going to be spicy but I underestimated how spicy it would be.
Anyway tried three spicy items: chili lobster soup, spicy clams and spicy whelk.
It was impressive how the spicy taste was different for each dish and not the same dead boring chili.
The lobster soup was fantastic because it was loaded with my favourite Basil and the lobster was fresh and it even had roe as well!
The spicy whelk in wine, obviously spicy had Sichuan peppercorns so it had a Sichuan touch to it.

The chili clams were the spiciest!!!
I would rate that this one had a strong chili taste and you can visually see how spicy it was with that orange chili oil surrounding it on the left!

The bread was buttered with something unique, it tasted like the ginger oil that you get with Chinese chicken but it was actually lemongrass!!

Normally I can taste what is in the ingredients but this Chef is one of the the good Chefs that can confuse your taste buds!!

There was blueberry and beetroot soup which was an interesting pairing however I managed to taste tomatoes in it.
If you have tried Jimmy's kitchen, there is a famous dry curry and the dry curry lamb rack tastes exactly like that with a crispy coating that tastes like curry bits of short crumbs!

On the menu was the Kiev which bursts out with filling when you pop the knife into into it.
I loved the crispy coating!

The dessert finished with this Japanese inspired sweet potato mash mixed with plum and yakult, again my taste buds were confused because I tasted apple.
It was paired with soothing ginger icecream!!

Definitely will be back soon!
