Discovered another branch of South Taiwan comfort when I was walking down Queens Road Central.
The menu is the same as the one in Kennedy Town and this branch has desserts so I tried the desserts.
The Brown Sugar Tea with Longan and Red Date was hot and soothing.

The Taro Balls with Brown Sugar Tea was a great way to end dinner as a dessert.
It was colourful and filling.
I loved the taro balls and the yellow ones made with sweet potato.
Definitely coming again.

This is a must for me if I am in Lai chi kok because they do decent quiches just like the ones in UK.
I had the quiche lorraine and it had generous pieces of bacon in it and the onions complemented it nicely.
There are other quiches as well but this was the one I didn't try on the last visit.
Price is very reasonable and it is such a big slice.

Came here because I found out that they had fried fish!Started with the luncheon meat and tomato sandwich which was soft and fluffy balanced by the appetizing tomato slices.

The star of the show was the fish, but the sauce was weird because it was viscous and frothy, the colour was different to the pictures posted which were clear and dark with visible herbs floating on top.

The fish was good but I didn't touch the sauce because it didn't look right.
Also had the chicken wings which were crispy and sweet.

Finished with the fruit tea which was extremely good with a strong passionfruit taste and it was not too sweet.

Haven't been to SKW for ages so decided to go there and have a look.Went here because they have my favourite stinky tofu.
The tofu was crispy but not as pungent as you would expect but saying that, some people said they could smell it when they came in.

Also had the beef noodles which had a strong soup, it was a little bit spicy.

For drinks had the Earl grey with red tea, the bergamot flavouring was very promient.
The hot fruit tea was big and made with fresh fruits!

Went here for dinner after going to the gun club nearby.We were greeted by this familiar looking gentlemen who turned out to be the owner, it turns out he is cantopop singer Vangie Tang's dad which explains his good looks!
My favourite song by VT is Gei Lim!!

Anyway, back to the food, they specialize in chicken pots and there is a pretty good seafood set for 2xx per person and you get a live crab, oyster, fish prawns and abalone!~

Here was the delicious hotpot:

The spiciness was just right and I liked the way it was steady and the spiciness remained constant all the way through.
The chicken was tender and the purple onions were sweet.
After we finished eating the chicken, broth was added.
The crab turned out really good and everything was tasty that we didn't really need the sauces given in the beginning.

[Review 6353] Mini bowls of rice @ 雲記美食

As I was still hungry after lunch, I went here because they offered a bowl of rice with a choice of chicken, chicken wing tips, fish balls and chicken gizzards for $20.
I found it too garlicky and spicy, but the portion was really good.
There was also some sauce on top of the rice which I didn't like as it was overwhelming.
The chicken was lean and meaty as it was white meat.

It's already Christmas again and the cookies by Kee Wah Bakery has an element of creativity in it where you can decorate them with icing sugar pens.
 0 讚好

In the box, there are three different flavours: chocolate, ginger and cinnamon in three different shapes Christmas tee, heart and a star.
There are two icing sugar pens for you to decorate them.
At first, I thought the icing sugar was stuck but you have to put them in hot water to melt the icing inside.

Cookies decorated by me:


All the flavours were good, my favourite was the ginger and cinnamon and the icing sugar adds an extra sweetness to it.
The Christmas bauble was filled with my favourite nougat and ginger candies which are so moreish that you finish them as soon as they are opened.
