Fine food with Korean touch
2018-10-02  140 瀏覽
Previous tried the seasonal truffle menu which was really good so went back for the other dishes because these are the signature dishes at this restaurant.
The restaurant is designed by Mr Adrian Cheng, Founder of K11 Art Foundation, and every object inside COBO HOUSE is collected and sourced by him from around the world.
Many items on the menu have a Korean touch to it which enhances the taste even more.

Here were all the delicious items that I liked.

Bulgogi, Seaweed Arancini Rice Rolls $188
These rice rolls were filling coated with crispy coating complimented by the fresh salad leaves.
Beauty and Beef Oven-baked Flatbread,
Bulgogi Korean Beef (Beef Tenderloin 1++), Argula, Homemade Cheese, Tomato
I definitely liked this because they used quality beef which was chunky and moist and the occasional seaweed in between gave it a nice unami flavour.

Finished with the dessert:
The  Sweet and Salty was creamy corn softserve covered in popcorn with grated pink Himalayan Salt on top.
Simply a match made in heaven.


Will come back soon for more desserts or dine at the coffee shop next door.

Went here ages ago.
Was disappointed and should have come earlier when they opened as the bagels have changed to more Asian Flavours to suit the locals hence I didn't bother getting it as the flavours were pork floss and Japanese matcha etc.
Resorted to the scone which was drizzled in caramel sauce.
It was quite annoying they didn't give me a bag as the sauce just went everywhere as they just taped the top of the paper bag.

The taste was ok and not as dry as expected.

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

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.
