Northern delights in MK
2017-11-14  136 瀏覽
Only discovered this place because I was on my way to have lamb next door but decided to try the lamb pilaf.
This could be the only possible place in Kowloon for Northern delights because the only ones I know are Bayi and this other one in Tinhau.
Anyway, ordered the lamb pilaf but sadly they were not serving the traditional rice as shown on the picture so I they served plain rice instead.
The lamb ribs were meaty and tender, it was soft and moist but quite fat at the same time.

Overall it was quite good but it was a bit disappointing that they didn't have the signature rice to go with it.
Slightly overpriced for MK.

I love avocado smoothies and the one here is sugar free.
It was only $28 which is cheap compared with the prices in the city.
The smoothie was lovely and thick with a balanced avocado and milk taste.
It was slightly savoury which a decent avocado taste to it.
They did not blend it with much ice so it wasn't watered down.

Went here specifically for the noodles tossed with chicken.
The portion was big and it was tasty.
The crispy pork skin was really good and the chicken was tender and soft.
I wanted the durian sticky rice but the durian was sold out so I opted without mango because I don't like mango.
The glutinous rice could have been better because the rice tasted a bit old.

Before I went, I didn't know what to expect from this place but it soon became clear why it was called Mirror & Vegan Concept because there are so many mirrors at the restaurant and they serve Vegan food.
It was basically Italian dishes like pasta and risotto but in Vegan form so it was simple and fuss free.
The vegetarian scene lacks something like this because it is normally too jazzed up or Asian.
Started off with heirloom tomato and cheese salad.
I was really glad this was on the menu as it is really difficult to get Vegan Italian food in HK.
The best thing is that it tastes just how it should while being vegan.
Next was the mushroom soup which I found thick and creamy.
Finished with the spaghetti bolognese which was al dente in a thick tomato sauce.
Again flawless!
Hoping to see other pastas like gnocchi, tortellini and ravioli!
Ended with a nice cup of tea.

Too soft

Previously went to the branch in Kowloon City which was overpriced but tasted ok.Took my friend to this one and we had fishballs and shaomai.
To be fair, they taste the same at all branches but the texture of the fishballs and shaomai here were too soft for my liking.

The fishballs have a sweet aftertaste so they go well with the chili sauce on the table.

I am glad there is another great joint for pasta.Normally I dine at the one at Wellington Street but the pastas here are freshly  made hence they have a different texture and the choices are better here.
On the menu, they have tortellini as well as soup pastas for lunch.
I had the tomyumkung broth tagliatelle which I really liked because the broth was not too spicy or strong and the strands of pasta soaked the broth well.

The meatball tagliatelle was also good because the tomato sauce was tangy so I couldn't get enough of it.
The meatballs were reasonably soft and juicy.

Definitely coming back again for the tortellini.
La Casa Bistro has managed to impress me because the pasta range is good and they have Earl Grey which the other place doesn't offer.

Tried this joint a while ago at Hung Hom.
They only sold fishballs before but now they have noodles and shaomai.
Got the fried fishballs, shaomai and noodles which came to a whopping $65.
It was not filling and quite expensive for the tiny portions.
Personally I am not a fan of those white fishballs which make a weird squishy noises like Halloumi cheese when you chew them.
They are served with thousand island sauce which is weird.
Anyway, the shaomai was rubbery and slightly dry but tasty because of the octopus.
The tiny portion of noodles were good but slightly oily.
