CCC in TKO
2018-09-23  436 瀏覽
I love CheckCheckCin's rice water drinks.
The new joint in TKO has replaced Dolci 2/3.
Anyway, drinks are reasonably priced and I'd rather be drinking this than syrup teas.
Since they opened in Sheungwan, there are more drinks to offer.
I had the roasted tea with soymilk and rice water.
It definitely gave me a surprise as you could taste all the elements eg soy milk, roasted rice and tea but it was delicate and not strong.
Definitely a good drink anytime of the day.

[Review 6862] Cute joint with affordable Modern dishes @ 茶米 Sun's Bazaar

Discovered Sun's Bazaar as there was a long queue for tea.
It turns out that drinks were half priced so I queued to get one.
The fact that it was half priced meant that I could experiment with different things like adding the milk cap and two different pearls and it didn't cost a bomb.
The total was only $22!!!!
I am not a fan of pearls but the taro and Sichuan are unique.
The Sichuan ones really do contain pieces of Sichuan pepper that give the pearls a slight crunch as well spiciness and the taro pearls taste like the dessert mochi balls.
Returned a few days later to try the food as there were so many interesting dishes.
I assumed this was a Taiwanese joint as there was quite an emphasis on the KIKI brand.
However on the menu, you will find Hainan Chicken, Rice rolls and even congee.
The decor was young and cute.
Here was what we had:
The ricerolls are different as they are served scrunched up because they are made by pushing the sheet to one side.
I liked the one topped with oyster and there was one that came in beef soup that is interesting to try.
On the Hong Kong dish side, they had the popular crispy chow mein topped with vegetables in gravy.
I was surprised the congee was Cantonese style as I thought it was going to Taiwanese.
But anyway, it was comforting with chunks of chicken in it.
Next was the Sichuan Dan Dan noodles that star KIKI Noodles.

[Sichuan Dan Dan noodles]
The meat sauce and broth had a good spicy kick to it.
Moving on to a slight Modern Chinese claypot rice, it was Spanish Chorizo and spare ribs rice served kamameshi style.
Chorizo and rice were delicious together.
Last but not least was the Hainan Chicken, a secret recipe from Old Bazaar Kitchen which is why this restaurant is called Sun's Bazaar!!

Super long baguette!!

There is another branch of Aroi Thai at Wongtaisin but this branch seems to be more down to earth and the food is slightly different.
I love baguettes so I was lured by the long baguette stuffed with curry.
The noodles looked good as I saw someone eating it as the broth looked dark and strong.
Anyway as I love baguettes I got the long baguette!!!
It was about 60cm long.
The baguette was crisp on the outside and soft in the middle stuffed with eggy curry that is not spicy and crammed with lots of seafood.
Definitely great for sharing but I had half because it was that good.
Shared the other items though, the crispy wings stuffed with glutinous rice and the squid salad.
The wings were interesting, the sticky rice in the middle tasted like the Chinese style ones with preserved sausage.
As for the salad, it was tangy with a spicy punch.
Finished with the blue coconut puddings served in little cute metal mugs.
The butterfly drink was a bit sweet so I would advise asking it to be less sweet when ordering.

I have had countless meals here because it is affordable and delicious!Not sure how long this restaurant can stay here until someone there retires or the street gets redeveloped as Wanchai is getting a new look.
The interior of this restaurant is fascinating as there are some Western elements in it.

To finish a satisfying meal, the silky tofu floating in sweet syrup is always served.
It looks sweet but it is not and the tofu is soft and silky with a strong soy bean taste.

I liked the vase on the table as it had some pretty purple crystals at the bottom.

On the seafood side, they have wine pairing options or you can just order oysters.


I had the oyster tasting set so that I could sample different oysters.
They were fresh so I didn't really need the lemon or sauce.

It depends which oysters you like but I liked the strong tasting ones with a briny taste of the sea.
Next was the parma ham and melon, I loved the juicy sweet melon contrasted by the savoury ham slices.

The cold cuts and cheese platter was good for sharing.
I was hoping for more different cheeses.

Last but not least was the APPLE Risotto!!!!
I ordered it because it was creative.

There were chunks of apple in it which were tangy and appetizing but I think it would taste better without the butter.

Definitely recommended for big gatherings as the tables are spacious and there are lots of stuff that are good for sharing.

Went here for lunch but somehow dessert was more attractive because they had apple and blackberry crumble.
I was impressed to see that it had blackberry as Hong Kong rarely has this so I wonder if there would be blackberries in it or at least some frozen ones.

Started with the salad which was ok.
Strangely there was a poached egg on top.
The apple crumble was quite modern in presentation as the crumble was more like blobs of pastry and not crumble.
Anyway, it tasted good but I couldn't find any blackberry in it.
More Custard would have been good and I appreciate the British items on the menu.

Omnipork in Shanghai Pan Fried Buns

There are so many plant based meats around but Omnipork is a brand developed in Hong Kong.

The first time I ordered it was at Kind Kitchen where it was in patty form stuck to a lotus root slice and pan fried.
I decided to try the Pan Fried Buns here because they were using Omnipork in them.

The only complaint was the Pastry as it was too dry and hard as if they were made and left there for a while before anyone ordered them.
Inside the filling was juicy just like the meat version.
Apart from the dryness of the pasty, I would be happy to order this again as Hong Kong meat is not fresh and they stink unless you go to high end restaurants.
