Customize wraps at Knead

Strangely KNEAD has almost every customizable sandwich/baguette but they didn't have a customized wrap which I KNEADED!!!Anyway, after asking they were able to customize one for me.
I had the wrap with beetroot spread, brie, hummus and and blue cheese.
As you can imagine the taste was damn good with the tartness of the hummus and creamy brie complimented by the baby spinach leaves.
Finished with teas.
The green tea was good but I had to wait for it to cool down as the mug didn't have ears.
Salad that my friend had;

Tasty Egg White wrap
2018-10-02  132 瀏覽
I was craving for wraps recently so this was on the list to try.
Went late in the day so I wasn't expecting it to be good as this was the last wrap in the cabinet and it was late in the evening so I was expecting the wrap to be dry and tough after it was heated.
After it was heated, it was slightly crispy because of the dryness but the filling inside was still delicious especially the scrambled egg white filling and melted cheddar.
The only thing I didn't like was the red bell pepper as it wasn't in harmony with the other ingredients.

Unknown to many people, 普洱 used to have a branch in Lai Chi Kok near the petrol station.
They were famous for chocolate puerh tea, buccatini and chilled noodles topped with silky tofu.

Unfortunately the branch at LCK closed so the only ones are in Tsuen wan.
As I was in TW, I decided to go in and have my favourites again.
Sadly, they have replaced the silky tofu with premade tofu from the supermarket and the noodle dressing was too sweet.

[Pret A Manger] Peking Duck Wrap
2018-09-29  522 瀏覽
Had a sudden craving for Wraps recently so resorted to Pret A manger!!!There were two I was choosing from and it was Peking Duck or Chipotle Chicken with Avocado.
In the end I got the duck because Pret does an improved version of the Hong Kong ones!!!
Obviously it is much bigger and crammed with salad, but the best thing was the duck, it was skinless and pure lean tender soft duck meat.
It had hoisin sauce, purple onions, baby spinach and cucumber which all gave it that scrumptious peking duck taste!!
Definitely made my day.

Previously tried to try this in MK but the queues were long and they were sold out of the apple when I finally did try to try it.They now have a bigger shop in CWB and it's been here for a quite a while but I still hadn't tried it because there are three traffic light obstacles.

Anyway, finally tried it as I was in the area and it was 3pm when they just opened hence there was no queue.

Tried the apple one which ended up too sweet so the original one is probably the best because I don't really need the icecream.
To be honest, I thought the cream stole the show because it was quality cream which complemented the pancake nicely.
Unfortunately I Love You Dessert Bar has competition now with the new dessert bar opposite.

[Review 6866] Great steaks @ Hugo Le Resto Grill

Discovered this restaurant on Eatigo because the flank steak is half priced if you book through it.
Ordered a steak and rice which both come with the salad bar.
The salad selection was good.
Next was the soup which was complemented by some nice bread.

The steak was the star of the show and it was surprisingly tasty.
Ordered the American Beef Flank (8oz) which was served on a sizzling grill.
If I had known I would have ordered the rare to compensate for the extra grilling while it was on the grill.

Each piece of meat was fresh and I loved the abundance of myoglobin that was dripping from it.
The chips were perfect and not over done.
Although they gave you truffle mayonnaise, the vinegar from the salad bar was the best on the chips which you will only understand if you are English.
It was a bonus they had Himalayan Pink Salt on the table.


The salmon fried rice had a Japanese touch to it with a strong sweet savory soy sauce flavour to the rice.

Finished with cheese cake and tea.
It was comforting that they had a choice of teas to choose from like Earl Grey as it gives a satisfactory ending to the meal.

I am so glad that Cafe on the PARK are currently serving the [Embrace the Golden Era] themed buffet.
Tourists and locals can take a trip back to the past and try different dishes.

To begin with, I had the Devil Fish Skin which is trending at the moment.
These were freshly fried fish skin tossed with evilicious salted egg yolk which taste so much better fresh.

Taking a trip down memory lane, there was Steamed Bun with Lobster and Abalone which was fluffy and soft with a big chunk of lobster inside and abalone.

Next were the rice rolls with a luxurious twist, these were steamed rice rolls with lobster and XO sauce.

At the noodle station, you will find “doggie noodles” with barbecued Kurobuta pork.
It was really good as it appeared to be healthier with less oil complimented by the aromatic crispy dried shrimps.

Moving on to the dessert counter, you will find retro Hong Kong snacks like traditional candy and coconut wrap, hand-pulled dragon’s beard candy and golden sweet egg twists.
At the entrance, they had my favourite Movenpick mint chocolate icecream and a healthy juice selection.

I definitely recommend having some golden moments at Café on the PARK after taking a stroll at Kowloon Park nearby.
