As well as lots of Vietnamese joints opening, there are more Thai noodle joints around after the success of Samsen.
I was appealed by the bright baby blue decor so went in.
The menu is clear in English and in Chinese and prices are not that expensive at the moment.

I tried the Rayong Assorted noodles which had a bit of everything and chose rice vermicelli to go with it.
The broth was not salty yet  you could taste the star anise and other spices, it lacked the unami taste but after adding the sauces on the table the taste was good.

The Hainan style chicken was accentuated by the spicy sauce which had fermented beans in it that gave it the saltiness.
The soup that came with it was the star because you could really taste the coconut as they used old coconuts.

For snacks, we had the Chicken feet which were very acidic for someone who likes it very sour.


Finished with the lime soda and lime tea which were not too sweet.

Panini with hummus

Sai Ying Pun is a lovely area so I am always around exploring new restaurants.
Crispy Bistro had an interesting name and the the breakfast pairings were not the usual because you can have waffles or crepes.
A strange combination but it means you can have crepes or waffles.
So ordered the crepe one.

The crepe was filled with cheese and bacon so that was a surprise, it was a fun pairing of a sweet crepe with bacon.
The baked beans were quite sweet and taste like Ayam baked beans although I could be wrong as there are so many brands out there these days.
For me, I had the panini because I love hummus, salad and feta cheese.
It was healthy and delicious but I wish there was more hummus.

Finished with a nice hot cup of leafy jasmine tea which was included in the set.

Why I like their noodles

I am a fan of Yvonne's noodle and this second branch is bigger and better with a menu that offers more than just noodles.
Anyway, I decided to try the noodles with minced meat and peas to see if it tastes the same as the hunghom branch.
Here they serve it with chickpeas which are different from the green peas at HH.
The noodles were soft and stodgy.
The other soup noodles were also stodgy and stuck together, otherwise they were both good.
Finished with the ice jelly which was a generous portion.
It was a perfect finish to sooth and cool your palate  after eating spicy stuff.

[Review 6454] Fish and Chip moment by the sea @ 無問題 Momentai

As I come from Eastboxxne, Fish and Chips by the sea was something I took for granted.Now you can have fish and chips by the sea in Sai Kung.
The decor was nice and relaxed.
These chairs are perfect for any coat.
The menu at Momentai had a good variety ranging from burgers, poke and almost everything.
For me, my choices were clear, I wanted Fish and Chips and the burger.
I was so chuffed they had Bubble and Squeak so I ordered a side of it.
The version here is so much healthier because it isn't fried.

My veggie burger was tasty and filling with halloumi and a veggie patty on top of some crisp sweet baby gem lettuce leaves.

The Fish and chips was spot on with a good crispy batter and moist flaky fish inside.
I can't wait to come back again because they have apple crumble as well.

Feast on Foie Gras and USDA Prime Beef

As well as watching TV during Prime Time, you can now feast on USDA Prime beef dishes and foie gras at the buffet at Holiday Inn Golden Mile's Bistro.
It is now available until the end of the month.

Starting at the appetizer end, there was a great variety of cheeses, foie gras terrines and mousses.

The foie gras mousse was the best because it was velvety balanced by the apricot jelly on top.

The other hot stars of the show were the US Prime beef dishes such as Roasted beef with asparagus roll, BBQ US Sirloin & Ribs, Pan-fried Foie Gras with roasted Granny Smith Apple.



As well as beef, I had oysters and lobsters.


I was quite full but there were so many delicious things that I had to try like the flame grilled sushi and their soups.



Every person gets served foie gras and beef at the table which is part of the buffet.


For desserts, they had the latest Haagen Daz flavours like blueberry and lavender and Cherry Blossom.
I was so chuffed that they had it there.
Dinner Buffet: 6:00pm – 9:15pm Sun to Thu: Adult $559* Senior $447* Child $391* Fri & Sat: Adult $629* Senior $503* Child $440*

Since my last visit, there have been lots of changes.I went straight here thinking I could get a Cornish Pasty but they didn't have it because they have stopped serving it and opened a cafe on the ground floor that sells all the pastries and bakery which is bigger and better.

Anyway, since I was already there, I had the hot dog.
The fries were fried perfectly and the hot dog was paired with ketchup and mustard so everything was good.
The bun was soft and fluffy so I was happy.

Almost a vegetarian brunch with Avocado porn

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!!
