As well as Mochi, this place is popular for drinks.
After asking if the mochi was sweet or savoury but default, I decided to try the Grilled Cheese Mochi because they said it is flavourless by default with toppings added on.
Anyway, to my disappointment, I should have trusted myself that it was sweet by default as the fake cheese and sweetness of the mochi tasted weird together.
The texture was too chewy and dry like under cooked Shanghai Mochi coins.
I definitely recommend ordering the sweet ones if you really want to try.

Just big fish balls
2018-04-06  187 瀏覽
Only tried this place because of the big fish balls.The texture of these fish balls were foamy and springy just like the Chiu Chow Fish balls but it contained more fish skin than fish to give it flavour.
You get three big fish balls for $15 and there is spicy or non spicy available.
The spicy one was too hot for me to handle.

I was excited when I saw this because I love Middle Eastern food.

From the cabinet, you can see samosas, chicken tandoori etc.

The menu was confusing so I decided not to get anything because in English, it was Dubai Chicken but the Chinese says Portugese chicken.
Under the Turkish bread section you get Indian naan so not sure which I should refer to!

Tried the new Tom Yum Tonkotsu Ramen which were previously launched in Singapore's Ippudo joints last year.
The broth had a good prawn taste to it as well as Tom Yum Soup base but it was spicier than expected.
I would have enjoyed it more if it was the thin Hakata noodles because I just don't like these thick yellow noodles that don't absorb the broth.

Fari-Beurre is another one of those cakes shops that opened in the new food corner.
The Salted Caramel Rice Flour cake looked good so decided to try it.
The saltiness wasn't strong but you could taste burnt caramel in the cake which was nice and the cake texture was light and fluffy like chiffon cake with moisture while the cream was really good.

Ever since they opened their first flagshop at Li Yuen Street, I knew it was going to be a success because it is a breakthrough from tradition.Firstly, the packaging is presentable and you don't see gloveless grubby fat chefs with greasy hands and soiled white aprons chopping roast meat and shoving it in those white polystyrene boxes which give off an odour and then getting your hand oily by opening those boxes.

You can now find this joint easily near HK Airport Express where can even buy freshly vacuum sealed Charsiu to take abroad or even try it at The Peak.

Just like Eggtarts, Charsiu is a must try but sadly people who do not eat pork can't try but at GOOD BBQ, they do have LAMB charsiu!~!

After seeing all these posts on the new branch of Good BBQ, I decided to visit the new branch at Hysan Place because they have noodles and this new sizzling plate exclusive to this branch.
Initially, I thought the menu was stuck to the blue wall, but they are attached by a magnetic sheet so it allows people to just pull it down and show the staff what they want.


As the noodles and sizzling plate are exclusive, I decided them try them
There are two noodles and soups to choose from. Knifecut ramen or Silky Rice noodles with Szechuan charcoal soup or prawn and pork bone soup.
I had the 011 which was the Lamb Charsiu with Szechuan soup noodles.
 0 讚好

Coming from a BBQ shop, the noodle was seriously good, in terms of broth, it was strong and full of szechuan flavours without any pork or msg in the soup.
While I was eating this, people thought I got it from a ramen shop as they tried to find the stall for it.
The lamb charsiu was just like pork in terms of taste and texture but you could taste a hint of lamb if you really tasted it.

My friend who had the Prawn and Pork soup said it was really concentrated with a strong prawn taste that has been reduced and reduced through boiling.

The sizzling plate was a new experience and it was like eating pot rice because you get charred rice at the bottom when you mix it together.

The charsiu I had was really moist and tender and this was just the normal one so I am definitely having this again.

Star Street is never gloomy with Sun Curry

Discovered this new curry joint on Star Street when I was going to Maison ES recently.
The curry joint stood out because of the hippy style flowery SUN logo and the bright LED star.
Finally went there during Easter.
On the menu, there is a simple choice of chicken, beef and lamb curry which is paired with rice, noodle, vermicelli, flat rice noodle and udon.
They also specialize in Beef Brisket too, there is ordinary beef brisket and the Superb Beef brisket which is in limited supply each day.
I was really chuffed to see Lemon Chicken, Curry fishballs and Fried Ice Cream on the menu.
It really felt like going to my local Chinese Takeaway in UK because curry and lemon chicken are popular picks.
Tried the Lemon Chicken and Beef Curry.
At first, I thought the curry tasted like Japanese curry but then it tasted like Pakistani curry which is very spicy.
Also tried a bit of the Superb beef brisket which was very soft and that beef broth it was in was amazing so I would recommend their beef brisket noodles as well.

The lemon chicken  in appetizing lemon sauce was comforting and healthier because it was pan fried and not the deep fried version.

I really enjoyed my curry fix so I will be back for the fried ice cream and I secretly wish that fried apple / banana is going to be on the menu and sweet and sour chicken too!!!
As you can imagine, this joint is very popular with residents and people working nearby.
