Woo Hooo! Moo Moo Burgers

At the moment, everyone is looking for a spot to watch the world cup.
Luckily I found out about this new joint as my friend works at the AIA building round the corner.
Before the crowd came, my mission was to try their burgers as food is my priority!!!
I simply love the decor because you can notice it when you come round the corner from How Ming Street.
You will see this neon green logo of a burger on top of a milkshake.

If you come through the other door, you will see a sign pointing you to the left.
(Note picture was taken from the other side)

Inside, it was relaxing and there are lots of plugs and USBs. ports.

What made me feel at home was the London Street Sign which has a meaning.
M1 is the first branch, hence when they have a second branch it will be M2!

During the world cup, there are different burgers each week to represent the different countries.

The trophies are good for selfies.

For burgers, I had The Classic and the Sexy Chick (Chicken).
The classic patty is made of Premium Angus beef which was juicy and tasty and the secret sauce was so good because it was moreish.
It had caramelized diced onions and bacon which made it delicious.


The Sexy Chick had a spicy kick to it and the chicken was lean and tender.
For fries, there were plain, Bolognese and Poutine.
The poutine was definitely my choice to satisfy my gravy and cheese cravings.
Finished with milkshakes because milkshakes is their signature as well as burgers from their logo.
The vanilla one was impressive because there was a strong vanilla taste and it was not too sweet.
The peach tea was a surprise as you could taste some peach juice in it.


After indulging on the food, it was nearly time for the match, my friend had the shisha.


While my friend was having the shisha, the place was getting packed already.

Overall, I had a great time and I shall be back to explore the other eateries at Hung To Centre.

Went past this a while ago but soon forgot about it because the location is at the outskirts between cheung sha wan and sham shui po.
Finally went past it again and got a drink because it was so hot that day.
Got the mint chocolate slushie and it was impressive watching the guy make it because everything was measured eg the milk, flavouring etc so that each drink will taste consistent.
It was blended with ice cream so I really liked it and the mint taste did not taste like toothpaste so it was really good.

Iron Cow on the Island
2018-06-29  46 瀏覽
Finally tried Iron Cow as it was on the Island, before they were only on the Kowloon side.
Either restaurants start off on the Island then make their way across to Kowloon or they start off in Kowloon and pave their way to the Island and the order really does have a difference.
As this one was the latter, I didn't really have expectations on the food.

After trying almost every type of noodle, the beef soup is the best and the beef tendons were soft and gelatinous.
The tomato broth was a bit artificial but the Taiwanese vermicelli is definitely worth requesting for.
The chilled noodles was a bit disappointing because I didn't know it was in sesame sauce like the Shanghai style ones.
The dan dan noodles fared better but I didn't realize it was a dry one without soup.
For drinks, the mint and chocolate one was really cooling and not too sweet.
The osmanthus oolong is recommended if you love tea.

Star of Canton used to my regular place for dimsum when they had a branch at East Point City in 2009.
Since it closed I haven't been for decades.
The branch at Infinitus Plaza is really convenient so went here for dinner.

I was really impressed with the modern tea cups but funnily enough, you still have to wash them!!

Tea and appetizers are charged.

Appetizers:


I was excited to see apple fritters but sadly they have stopped doing it.

In the end, tried the new BBQ pork dish which was really good as they use Iberico Pork which was tender and chunky.



It came with soup which was crammed with Chinese delicacies eg fish maw, abalone and sea cucumber etc.

The braised vegetables in fermented red beancurd sauce was really good but it wasn't braised because you could taste and see that it was stir fried then put into the ceramic pot!


Finished with the fried noodles which was spicy and high in sodium!

I love cheese and sandwiches so this was the one for me.
The cheese was tasty because it was nice and sharp balanced by the lovely green leaves and tangy Pret pickle.
As well as the filling, the whole grain bread made it really healthy with a touch of fibre.
Next time I am going to try the Posh Cheese and Tomato baguette.

[Review 6654] Crystal Chicken @ 文聚料理(分子)

Walked past a few weeks ago and this chef dressed in a traditional chefs coat came out and started telling me about his special chicken.
As I had already had dinner, I didn't try it.
Went back another night as I was still hungry, had the signature chicken set for $45 which comes with rice, vegetables and drink/dessert.

According to the media, the chef uses a special method to cook the chicken hence the name crystal chicken because there is a layer of jelly between the chicken and the chicken skin.

The chicken was tasty and you could taste that it has been marinated for a while before it was cooked.
I thought it was a little hard and dry but I believe it would have tasted better if I came earlier when it had just been cooked.
The scallion oil was quite good as it was not too salty.
However the presentation and what I expected was a little different as it just looked like normal chicken even though it is said to be cooked using molecular gastronomic technique and slow cooking according to the media.

Mixed grain rice at [Coco Ichibanya]

Coco Ichibanya at Eaton Hotel's foodcourt has this exclusive mixed grain rice for $5 extra.
The mixed grain rice comes with the vegetable curry which has bell peppers, baby sweetcorn etc for $50 but as I didn't like the veg combination, I went for the other vegetable curry for $42 and changed to the mixed grain rice.
It was my first time having the veg curry and I loved the soft potatoes and carrots.
The mixed grain rice was not that dry and hard so it was really good and filling compared to plain rice.
