If you like Willow Leaf Fish roe (smelt or Shishamo), you will love this gunkan.
Although the roe is pale and does not look as appetizing as flying fish roe, it was really delicious for me because it is pure roe without those annoying fine bones and bitterness when the fish is grilled.
I hope to get it again because it tastes really good.

Sichuan fishpot

I have always wanted to try Sichuan fish pot but most of the restaurants are on high rise buildings so it sucks to queue for the lift.Just like the chicken pot, you eat the fish first and then soup is added making it a hotpot to put stuff in.
There are three sets to choose from.

Chose the $188 because I wasn't sure how spicy it was going to be and whether it would taste good.

You begin with starters which are quite spicy except the salad.

The star of the show was delicious so I am definitely coming back for it.

The spiciness was just right and the fish was fresh.
The other chicken pot was spicier in my opinion but it is better to choose fish because they specialize in fish here and the chicken is randomly chopped so it is mainly bones.

Too early for cheese
2017-12-07  1334 瀏覽
Went here ages ago because I heard there was going to be a lot of cheese.
Anyway, SAY CHEESE is still under teething stages so I tried the breakfast and dessert.
The name of the shop reminds me of photographers, they would always ask you to say "cheese" so that it looks like you are smiling!

Started with the grapefruit tea which was refreshing and not too sweet with a strong natrual grapefruit taste.
Next was the hearty breakfast which had a bit of everything.
The sausage was really good because it wasn't those lame frankfurters.
The chicken wings and fries were a good snack to share.
It was nice the wings were single boned which made it easier and tastier to eat.

For dessert, had the cubes of brownies and toast in honey.
The toast cubes were huge and crispy.

Felt like something different so chose chicken and chips.

You get two big chicken drumsticks served with chips.

The chicken drumsticks are a bit dry but meaty and satisfying.

I didn't like the chips as they were a bit dehydrated and they were oven baked chips.

Also had the lemon donut which was filled with lemon curd.

It was quite sweet and went well with tea.

Winter is here and everyone is mad for hotpots!
To start off, you get a plate of meats and seafood where you can order more.
I was really happy because there was a good range of vegetables, desserts, soups and drinks.
In the sauces section they had Sichuan chili so you can add a touch of Sichuan to the meats or add it to the broth to turn it into a Sichuan spicy hotpot.
The taro icelolly imported from Thailand was really good because it was not too sweet with a fragrant taro taste.
I wish they imported other flavours in the range.

Prawn cocktail salad
薩莉亞意式餐廳 (將軍澳)
There used to be a branch at MetroCity but the rents were probably too high hence they are now located at some quiet spot in Polam village.
It was pretty dead in there, or perhaps the food is too Western for the people in that area.
Anyway, I had the prawn cocktail as usual.
It was quite good because there was more sauce than usual so all the salad was flavoured.
The lettuce was fresh and the prawns are the usual frozen prawns that they serve.

Earl Grey cloud cake

I love Earl Grey so got the Earl Grey Cloud Cake which looks like the chiffon cake base made into cake smothered in Earl Grey cream.
The cake itself was good but a little too sweet and there was way too much cream.
In the middle there was some Earl Grey flavoured pudding which was rather milky and heavy.
Basically, there wasn't much cake in it as I hoped.
