I love this branch of Wang Jia Sha because the decor has a touch of vintage Chinese romanticism from the past.Went there for lunch so had the noodles.
I had the Sichuan dan dan noodles which came in a lovely strong broth, the spiciness was just right for me and the minced meat and pickles gave the noodles more flavour.
The beef noodles were lighter compared to the Sichuan dan dan noodles but the beef was lovely and soft.
The Shanghai dumplings are a must order, each one was bursting with rich meat juice.
For sweet treats, had the custard buns and souffle red bean balls.
The custard buns were and piping hot, inside it was filled with runny custard.

The souffle balls were light and soft filled with red bean paste.
It was good that it was on a bed of icing powder, so you can dip it according to your sweetness levels.

Dessert in a different perspective

The food served at this restaurant was the usual stuff so I haven't bothered to post the pictures.

The dessert was an eye turner when it was placed on the table.

The appearance was neither Chinese or Western.\

It turned out to be chewy mochi like cubes coated in crispy eggroll flakes.

The taste was quite nice too because it wasn't too sweet but there wasn't any particular flavour to it but a gentle hint of coconut.

It must have been nice or it got the guests curious because they were gone in a flash.

To be honest, Hong Kong style milk tea is not my cup of tea but I had to give it a try because he said it was an award winning tea.
It was served pretty fast after I paid.
The guy at the front poured milk etc into the tea.
The taste was very strong with a good bitterness to it yet you could taste the balanced milk flavour.
While I was there, most of the Hongkongers said it was really good but as I am English I don't know how a good HK milk tea should taste.
I wonder if the prices will increase after the soft opening.

The $5 hotdog is a success at the Causeway Bay branch, and now it is available in Central too putting Wing Lok Yuen into competition.
The hotdogs here are American style where they have ketchup, mustard and relish available, there is Thousand Island as well to cater for HKers!
My hot dog came hot and wrapped nicely.
I found the hot dog satisfying because it was boiled and then grilled which gave it a crispy skin.
The sausage had a lovely smokey taste which went well with the ketchup and mustard.

Recently I had my first hmv hotdog on the Hong Kong side and it was lovely as it was freshly made.
As I was on the dark side of Kowloon, I decided to try the MK branch.
Sadly, it was cold, so was the bun so it wasn't as tasty as the one on the HK side.
I doubt, I would come back again for it.
Compared to the HK branches, this one is tiny.

Saw the new Iced Orange tea so decided to go in and try it, hence ordered the set.
After I sat down, I wasn't impressed when the staff came over to tell me that it was sold out, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted my time and money  on the fishburger set.
The iced orange tea was replaced with some crappy strawberry tea which is just cloyingly sweet syrup which is worse than the orange because they said it was made with orange juice.
Sadly the fish burger was oily and there was no fish taste at all compared to the fishburgers I have had at Mos before.
Again, I don't expect much from the dark side of Kowloon, poor quality and poor service.

Went here because this side of town is nice and quiet.The menu had noodles and rice but it was really difficult to decide because this place is famous for noodles but the rice was captivating as well as they had curry and beef tendons.
In the end, got the noodles.
The one tossed with xo sauce was really tasty with a spicy kick to it.

The other noodles with wontons was plain but the wontons were the star of the show.

The fish skin was surprisingly delicious because the fish skin were thin and crispy.
It had no rancid oil smell or taste and they were not a bit oily because I used my fingers to pick them up and they were oil free.
Anyway, I hope to come again and try the rices.
