Almost a vegetarian brunch with Avocado porn
2018-03-10 4388 瀏覽
Recently I was in an Avocado mood after watching videos of Avocaderia and The Avocado Show overseas.
I was so glad that to find out on FB that Verde Mar has at least 4 avocado dishes and an Avocado Smoothie beverage!

Firstly avocados are from Mexico, so Mexicans probably are the best at serving it and secondly avocados are cholesterol free and healthy.
Went here for brunch because there was something else I wanted to try as well as avocados!!
On the brunch menu, they had scrambled eggs with cactus served with tortilla and refried beans.

As I went with some health fanatics, we were able to order 3 different avocado dishes to share.
Started with the Ceviche de Avocado.
(Creamy avocado mixed with finely diced tomato and cucumber with a hint of lime)
The presentation looked like avocado tartar but the taste was far better with creamy goodness with refreshing lime and juicy cucumbers and tomatoes.

The Avocado burger trio was really photogenic and a good option for brunch because of the egg.
(Choice of their homemade meat patty/portobello mushroom, a trio of specialty antojitos with tomato-guacamole salad cup and yummy fresh egg.
The trio was a good mix of everything with appetizing guacamole and nutritious egg.
I was surprised the black and white sesame actually gave it a nice subtle crunch as well as being decorative.
Avocado Tostada:
(Homemade com Tostada spread with guacamole mash and avocado topped with Ranchero cheese and chili flakes)
This was a bit different from the other two in the sense that there were chili flakes which gave it a slight spiciness.
All I could think of was fleur de Avocado!
Last but not least was the Scrambled eggs with cactus.
I was really looking forward to this and it was amazing because I like delicately light flavours as well.
There isn't much taste in cactus but I love the slimy texture and there is also onions in the egg to give it a slight sweet flavour.
It also tastes great if you just roll everything in that soft tortilla like a burrito with their delicious homemade spicy sauces.
I can't wait to come back again to feast on avocados!!
Some of the dishes above are really popular for people eat only eat raw foods!!

A friendly roast joint
2018-03-08 74 瀏覽
Went here as the roast looked neat from the outside.
They had roast dishes and Hong Kong style dishes like curry and noodles etc.
It was really hard deciding on the roast because there was so much to choose from.
We were really fortunate the boss came over and explain the type of roasts and how to order.
I ordered the Roast ribs with Suckling pig and rice while my friend had the Roast pork with goose and noodles.
I had to admit the roast pork was really good because it was soft and lean.
The suckling pig was really lean with a perfectly crisp skin and the ribs were sweet and sticky Hong Kong style.
Another must order is the Roast Belly where there are two types.
The one we had was again really crispy and you can see how perfectly distributed the fat and meat is.
I really enjoyed my roast because it reminded me of the delicious lunch boxes the crew would order and the roast belly was a good as the roast used in Chinese offerings!
Finished with a sweet pineapple punch which was served in a nice pink tumbler.

Burger King in UK does not have fried chicken but they have it in Singapore and Malaysia because there is more demand for chicken as it is mainly a Muslxx population.
The price of the fried chicken was pricey! $39 for two pieces of chicken which was originally $5X.

Anyway, I got the meal which includes fries and a drink.

It was evenly coated and very crispy as advertised.
Thankfully, the chicken was still juicy and not shrivelled up like HK KFC.

If it wasn't that pricey, I wouldn't mind coming back for it again.
In terms of fried chicken in Hong Kong, it was really good but in other countries, this is the basic standard because I find the quality of chicken in HK generally poor.
For the average HKer, I think they would like it because they like everything burnt.

It was a hot day so I started off with the green tea soba noodles.

For hot items, I had my favourite croquettes again filled with silky potato in a perfectly fried coating.

Moving on to the sashimi, the angel prawns were new.
They were as blue as it looked and reminded me of the prawns we used at the Takeaway but these are from Japan.
It didn't really need soy sauce as it was tasty on its own.

As always the sashimi comes in thick slices.
My favourite had to be the lean tuna which was dark in colour but rich in flavours.

I am so glad we went here for dinner because I didn't know PAPI did such great Pasta.
PAPI used to at the ELEMENTS where I rarely go hence the reason why I haven't heard of this place but CWB is definitely more convenient for me.
Started with the Grapefruit fizz which was refreshing.

While we were waiting for others to arrive, we had Sauteed Mediterranean Octopus which was really moreish especially that sauce with garlic and capers.
0 讚好
The Black truffle and Parma Ham sandwich was really good too because there is nothing like a good toastie and this one was filled with luxurious black truffle and parma ham.
For salads, the Marinated pumpkin, pomegranite, pear and parmesan cheese salad was light yet substantial.
The pasta Pici De Papa was my ultimate delight because the strands were as thick as udon and al dente in a lovely spicy tomato sauce.
For meats, we had the Italian style Roasted suckling pig and Roast Chicken.
The roast chicken had fregola pasta hidden underneath it which soaked the delicious chicken flavours and oils hence it was evilicious.
The suckling pig was so tender that the texture was like chicken.
I can't wait to come back again for pasta.

Juicy and Soft Fried Pork Chops
2018-03-05 149 瀏覽
Hogology has been around since late 2013.They used to be round the corner where the shop was smaller and cramped.
It didn't appeal to me before because it was just fried pork chop on the menu.
Recently, I saw photos of Typhoon Shelter style porkchops so I decided to go because it looked really good paired with noodles.
Tried the porkchop with rice and noodles.
The rice would have been good but they put sweet sauce on it which ruined it for me but the noodles were a fantastic pairing.
The porkchop was juicy and the texture was soft like chicken, it was full marks in terms of taste but it was a bit fat compared to the one my friend had.

Here was what we had:
Started with the Port Wine Beef cheeks which were served on a bed of silky mash.
The beef cheeks were soft and gelatinous in this rich port wine sauce.
Next was the crab pizza ordered by my friend.
I didn't have any expectations because I thought it was just going to be pizza with crab meat but when it came it just got stole everyones' attention as it was literally a whole crab on top of the pizza.
It was convenient to eat because the crab had already been chopped up.
I took the crab shell thinking there was tomalley but it was totally clean because they put the tomalley on the pizza so it was evilicious with all that cheese, crab tomalley and orange roe.
Although it was quite heavy, there was basil leaves to freshen it up.
