Spring Onion overload!!
2018-06-06  216 瀏覽
Discovered this eatery after dining nearby.
There are so many new places to try so stopped by because of this picture of a bowl covered entirely by SPRING ONIONS!!
They serve other donburis as well and this cute BBQ Wagyu Beef Set for One which is only available in the evenings.

I love seafood so 5 and 8 were my picks on the Dinner Menu.
5) Cheese Fried Shrimp Rice bowl with Curry/Tomato Sauce
8) Spring Onion with Onsen Tamago Rice served with Marinated Saba.

It was just overwhelming seeing all that finely chopped spring onions where you couldn't see the rice at all with an onsen egg in the middle.
Every mouthful was wonderful with lots of spring onions which goes well with the Saba and rice while the onsen egg binds it together adding a lovely silky texture to everything.
The Saba that I got was a little dark compared to the other ones I've seen on social media but it tasted ok.

The tempura was fried just right and the coating was crisp complimented by the mild curry sauce and cheese.
I am tempted to try this again because they also have tomato sauce which should go well with the cheese and prawns.

For the red meats, my friends had 2 and 16.
2) Yakiniku Pork Rice Bowl with TRIPLE CHEESE for $10 more!!
16) BBQ Wagyu Beef Set for One

This Beef set for one was so cute with this mini grill!
The grill has to be greased (buttered) first and then when the butter sizzles, the beef cubes can be placed on the grill.
When it is ready, just a touch of salt tastes great as it is juicy and flavourful!

[Yakiniku Pork Rice Bowl with TRIPLE CHEESE]

As well as tasty pork, there was evilicious gooey cheese which makes the rice so yummy!
They use the American squeezy cheese type sauce so it isn't the Mozzarella or cheddar type hence don't expect it to be cheesy in that sense but more of a thick gooey sauce.


Directions here are not that clear but there is a footbridge next to the optical shop that leads here followed by some escalators.

I've been here three times now and it seems that I should stay clear of the cakes and carefully choose what to eat.
The grilled cheese toast and fish finger bap were brilliant while some of the cakes were too sweet.

On this visit, I had the fish fingers bap which was damn good.

It was, a proper dusted soft bap filled with crisp fish fingers and real Mayonnaise.

For drinks, had the avocado smoothie which was not too sweet and it was good that they used ripe avocados because you can really taste the difference.

Fried [Hainan Style chicken] at KFC
2018-06-04  79 瀏覽
In Hong Kong, KFC has a totally different recipe for the chicken coating so I rarely get KFC unless the flavour is interesting.
The Fried [Hainan Style chicken] meal comes with waffle fries and not chips as served in UK which is another thing I don't like.

Anyway, the new Fried [Hainan Style chicken] captivated me because I love Scallion Oil.

The set comes with rice and a drink and you can also order two extra Hainan Style chicken wings.
Unfortunately, they gave me the wrong ones because they were spicy and tasted totally different from the star of the show.

As I said, the chicken wings were just spicy.
The star of the show was really tasty and you could taste spring onions in the coating.
The sauce that comes with this is chili and lime which really matches the chicken and gives a slight Thai kick to it.


It was good that it came with rice because I am not fond of Waffle fries.


 Overall, the Fried [Hainan Style chicken] was impressive but not impressive because the chicken wings given were the wrong ones.

Hong Kong is slow at launching new dishes that have already been launched elsewhere because their timid approach is to observe whether the product sells well in other countries before serving it.

Anyway, I discovered the pasta burger series on night as I was stuck in HH thanks to damn tourists and people commuting into shatkung.

There is no damn price on the menu so I had to ask which is annoying.
Decided to try the vegetarian one because I liked the combination.
 0 讚好

It took a while to come and I suspect it was the first time they were making it as no one has ordered it before.
Finally arrived and it looked just like the picture.
I liked the way they were serious with the presentation as I saw them cut the lettuce leaf into a circle with scissors.

It was really impressive, how the pasta held together, yet the texture was not too hard or dry.

I was really glad I chose the Caesar because the sauce went really well with the pasta and it was appetizing with the shredded onions.
The other two are tempting to try but MOS has closed down for rennovation so I have to find another branch that serves it.

I have always wanted to try this Michelin starred ramen but never made it.
Shugetsu now has three branches with the newest branch in CWB and it is quieter at this branch, however they don't open on Mondays!!
They serve ramen and Tsukemen.
Tsukemen is the award winning one but I was here for the spring onion ramen after seeing all pictures with spring onion overload!!
It was just as good as expected and there is so much spring onion to last you through all the ramen and I appreciate how finely chopped they are.
The best thing was that the spring onions miraculously stayed crisp all the way and balanced the strong fishy broth.
The shio broth was very different but the strong salt taste was addictive without being too salty,.
I am so glad there is a good ramen joint in CWB and the spring onion ramen is a must try.

Before I came, I got this confused with another Kamitora nearby which has closed down.
Anyway, this one is on Tai Wong Road East and is evidently different.

I love those cute colourful napkins.

There were five different ramens to choose from:

Started with the gyoza which were bursting with juices inside.

The ramen was evidently the stars of the show and they come with these cute pork meatballs which were tasty.
They were soft just like homemade meatballs.
Personally I was really fond of my pork broth because I wanted to try the most original one and it was rich and thick with lots of collagen floating about.
Overall, the pork slices were soft and fresh and the ramen was quite likable because the texture was a bit like blanched pasta, but probably not how you would expect in a way of describing it.

The fried chili and dried prawn condiment really made it tastier as it helped balanced the heaviness of the pork broth.

The condiments was actually meant for the prawn broth but it also went well with the pork broth.

The prawn broth is just more prawny but it just depends on which broth you fancy that day.

Decided to try this place because of the Taiwanese hotpots.
This could be the first and the worst in TKO.
Anyway, the location was more of a nuisance than expected because it is next to this residential mall which does not let you go through hence you have to waste another 5 minutes to walk around it.
So it could take you quite a while to walk from the MTR station if you don't live nearby.

Ordered the Signature Taiwanese pot because it contains fermented tofu, TW bloodcake and ducks blood however when it came there was no ducks blood as stated on the menu.
For the other pot, it was funny how they serve the meat frozen, which is slightly different from the other two branches in TST.
The portion was smaller compared to the other two at TST, you get at least 2-3 per item but here you only get one piece of each.



The soup was bland.


Not worth trekking over for this, I hope the other restaurants nearby are better.
