Quick get together at Anjappar

2018-08-27  25 瀏覽

Bumped into an old friend who only had 30 mins to spare so went here.

We both had drinks and soups.

I had the buttermilk while my friend had the pomegranate juice.

Finally tried the buttermilk which is not as thick as lassi but has more flavour.

It was savoury infused with spices that are not hot so I really liked it.

For soups, had the vegetable soup and mutton bone soup.

The mutton bone soup was really good as it tasted like a light curry with mutton bones and a few chunks of mutton.

The veg soup was a bit boring compared to all this so I regretted not choosing the mulligatawny.

Anyway, will be back.

[Review6796] White and Chocolate Dirty Bread @

After having a delicious White dirty bread at Paper Stone Bakery in Sheung Wan, I decided to get it again at TKO which has an area to dine in.
The dirty bun or more commonly known as messy bun is a  dusted with chocolate powder and there are layers and layers of chocolate ganache which ooze out when you eat hence the name dirty bun as it is very messy to eat.
The white dirty bun is a white chocolate version of the chocolate version.
I got both to try and the triple cheese rice bread.
It was my first time trying the chocolate one and I didn't like it as the chocolate paste was hard and didn't ooze out, the bread was dry and firm.
The white one was really disappointing because it just didn't taste the same as the one in Sheung wan.
The bread was not springy at all and the filling and dusting was not fresh with a rancid odour.

The cheese bread was a waste of money as well as it was too chewy with an unpleasant butter aroma that had gone bad.

Angelic white dirty bun

The bakery doesn't captivate me at Paper Stone Bakery but then I was captivated by the angelic white dirty bun that has been trending since April.
The dirty bun or more commonly known as messy bun is a  dusted with chocolate powder and there are layers and layers of chocolate ganache which ooze out when you eat hence the name dirty bun as it is very messy to eat.
The white dirty bun is a white chocolate version of the chocolate version.
I thought it was going to be dead sweet because of the white chocolate but it was light filled with sweet cream in the middle which tasted like condensed milk.
It was actually quite nice as the bun was soft and fluffy and the filling was more like cream instead of thick white chocolate paste.
Unfortunately, the quality varies at different branches as the one at Popcorn tasted nasty.

Since my last visit, I have been craving for the chicken wings because they are simply the best!!
As well as chicken wings, there are other new items on the menu such as the Bombay sandwich and Chicken Tikka Sandwich.
 0 讚好



Lentil snacks:

I had the wings first which did not disappoint and they tasted consistently good as the previous visit.
The wings are coated in this delicious crispy coating drizzled with Tamarind sauce so they taste like Buffalo wings with a fruity tone.
I loved that thick coating which gives it that extra crunch and surface for the sauce and coriander to stick on hence every bite is packed with flavour.

Next was the Chicken Tikka Sandwich.


It was filled with fresh and tasty chicken tikka chunks on focaccia bread which was a match made in heaven.



The focaccia bread was perfectly crisp on the outside and soft in the inside hence the Chicken Tikka Sandwich is now one of my favourites.



Will be back soon as they have just launched the Matar Paneer.

[Review 6793] Heavenly Lebanese fare @ Mama Malouf

Heavenly Lebanese fare
2018-08-26  3189 瀏覽
There are not many Lebanese restaurants around in Hong Kong.
Mama Malouf serves Middle Eastern food with playful modern twists.

After seeing pictures on social media, I knew the food was going to be good because it was similar to the Leb food in London and they also do hummus bowls while the pickles looked promising.

Started with the Mezze which are a must
MAMAS MEZZE - HUMUS, BABA, TARAMASALATA, PICKLES - 138
All my favourite dips with hot and soft flatbread.
The pickles were really refreshing and strong with a good salty and sour kick.

CHICKEN LIVERS WITH FETA MAYO & PICKLED CHILI - 78
This was chunky liver pieces on creamy feta mayo.

SMASHED EGGPLANT WITH LEBANESE SALSA & ZATAR MANOUSH - 98
I love anything with Zatar, the more the better and the flatbread was coated with a delicious layer that was aromatic.
The smashed eggplant accompanied it nicely.

SHISH TAWOUK WITH PEPPERS AND ONION, ALMOND RICE & TOUM - 178
This is another must order as the pieces of chicken were chunky and tender on a bed of fluffy rice.
Adding the dip to the rice and chicken makes it taste even better.




BAKED CARROTS WITH FETA MAYO & POMEGRANATE - 58
The carrots were too pretty to eat, almost as if they were freshly plucked from the soil.
Each one was roasted perfectly with a soft centre topped with delicious creamy mayo.

Finished with the COFFEE & CARDAMOM ICE CREAM SANDWICH - 68.
Although it was coffee, It reminded me of Indian masala chai.
The icecream and filo pasty tasted really good together and the delicate filo layers hung the ice cream nicely.

For drinks, had the harissa which tasted like bloody mary.
However, it would be good if you could choose the level of spiciness.


Overall, I loved everything so I will gladly come back if I am in the area.

I have always wanted to try Annapurna when they were on Staunton Road but never made it.

Luckily, they moved to Sheungwan, but still I didn't get to try it as every time I went past, they were not open.
Annapurna was finally open one evening so went it.

The menu had a lot to offer and not just Momos.

I would say Nepalese food is a little bit similar to Indian food.

Started with the Traditional Nepalese salad which took me by surprise as the sauce was creamy with an interesting spice kick to it.
There were lots of peas and root vegetables.
I think I found some yak cheese in it so I was really happy as I forgot to order the yak cheese (chhurpi salad).

Next had the Kwati (Nine Beans) which was a stew made with nine different beans eaten on the festival of Gun Punhi, the full moon day.
There was a side of coriander sauce which had a little fieriness but I liked it.
The bean stew tasted a bit like vegetarian chili con carne.
For dessert, had the Kheer (Rice Pudding) which was the best thing ever!
It tastes like the English Rice Pudding, thick and creamy with cardamon, ginger and spices.
The only thing I didn't like was the pina colada which was weak and 80% blended ice.

I am not Athletic but was drawn to Athletic Juice & Espresso Bar because of the avolatte.
Avolatte was first served in Melbourne which caused a stir worldwide.
Athletic Juice & Espresso Bar located on Star Street is one of the first places in Hong Kong to serve it.
As well as Avolatte they have healthy juices and smoothies fit for any sporty or athletic person.

On the sweet side, I had the hot chocolate and S7 Marathon Booster.
The hot chocolate was smooth with a strong cocoa taste that was not too sweet.

The Marathon Booster had all my favourites with Agave, Almond Milk, Avocado, Banana and Coconut Water blended with ice.
All of the ingredients were in harmony and I loved the fact it was non dairy and vegan friendly whilst great on a hot day.

The avolatte was the star of the show, I loved the savoury aftertaste in the latte and then you get to eat the rest of the avocado when you are finished.

There are so many choices for juice and smoothies that I will have to come back again.
