Affordable quality Japanese fare
2018-10-03  628 瀏覽
Previously this spot used to be another Japanese Joint.
Anyway, it has now changed to Senbadou serving high quality yet fast Japanese fare.
When you get there, there are two self ordering kiosks which are easy to use and being located in the city, there was English and what you see is what you get as it has pictures of each dish.

It has almost everything covered from sushi, donburi, curries, congee, ramen, tempura etc.
On the side, there is a condiment table and self service water.
The decor is modern and bright which makes the dining experience good.



Again, the best time to try is in the evenings when the office crowd has gone.
To be surprise, every dish was good as I am quite picky with Japanese food.

Here was what we ate.
~~~~~
Deluxe Assorted Sushi:


When it came, it was already an eye turner as there was smoke coming out of it.
The sushi looked so good that it was almost unreal but baring in mind that they weren't busy so it should look good.
Shared the sushi but I had the salmon roe one which was my favourite and it was fresh, also had the flounder skirt sushi which was soft and almost melts in your mouth.
~~~~~~
Maguro Minced Tuna with Onsen Tamago:



With fresh ingredients, it is hard to go wrong and all that finely chopped spring onions was just sensational.
~~~~~~
Fried Rice with eel and sakura shrimp:



The fried rice was topped with so much dried shrimps which give it that crispy briny shrimp aroma.
~~~
Snapper porridge with assorted seafood:


I love congee and the one here is very healthy with corn and okra so it was light and tasty.
~~~~
Burger Curry:



I don't often like Japanese curries as they tend to be sweet but this one was sweet with a difference as you can seriously taste the apple and it was fruity.
~~~~~~
Okinawa Brown Sugar Matcha Latte:



Finished with the latte which had a right balance of milk and brown sugar so it wasn't too sweet.

Definitely will be back in the evenings for the salmon and salmon roe rice bowl and curry.

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
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.
