Veg and gluten out Staunton's Wine Bar & Cafe

Staunton's Wine Bar & Cafe cannot be missed when you get the escalators!!!!
It is like the central gathering place to relax and have drinks.
Upstairs you will find a nice place to dine as well and they have vegetarian and gluten free dishes.
Tried the salad bowl which had all my absolute favourites like hummus, julienne purple cabbage etc spiced and dressed with tasty dressings.
The chickpeas and ripe avocado was damn good.
It was quite filling at first but then you get quite hungry hence the chocolate gluten free brownie makes a good dessert.

Teriyaki Chicken is here!!!
2018-10-09  32 瀏覽
Since Tsuta opened, there are now two branches.
At Causeway Bay, they have just launched the new Teriyaki Chicken Soba and Teriyaki Spicy Chicken Soba along with Deep fried chicken and some gyozas.
Chicken is much nicer compared to pork so I had to try it and the soba they use is slightly different to ones they use in the Shio Soba as it is thinner.

Same as the other sobas, you can choose how many pieces of chicken, egg etc in your soba.

IT IS CONFUSING HERE BECAUSE THE CHINESE MENU SAYS RAMEN WHEREAS THE ENGLISH MENU SAYS SOBA.
ANYWAY FOR THE CHICKEN THE ENGLISH MENU SAYS SOBA.

[Teriyaki Spicy Chicken Soba]



[Deep fried chicken]


To summarize, the Teriyaki Chicken is quite sweet and the non spicy one has a stronger chicken taste in the broth.
For the spicy one, this one was interesting, if you eat it just as it is you get the spiciness but after you add the tomato paste in the broth it becomes more appetizing and brings out the chicken!!!!!
The fried chicken was good for sharing if one ramen isn't too enough for you but then they also have large ramens.

Tiger Stripe Red Bean Matcha
2018-10-09  54 瀏覽
Tiger Stripe drinks are trending these days aka brown sugar milk where brown sugar is smeared on the cup filled with milk so that the colour contrast looks like Tiger stripes.
McDonalds is smart as they are using Red Beans instead of brown sugar syrup.
[They have a reliable source for red beans as they occasionally have desserts with red beans and if it doesn't work they can use it for something else.]
As well as red beans, they are collaborating with Vitasoy according to the menu,
To my surprise, I actually liked it because the matcha was slightly viscous like milkshake with a slight savoury aftertaste while the matcha was not too grassy.

Cute bar serving Japanese fare
2018-10-09  33 瀏覽
Discovered this cute little Bar that serves Japanese food as well as drinks.
I was there for the donburi hence had the assorted sashimi donburi.
There was salmon, scallop and prawns which were all sweet and fresh.
The rice was compacted in the bowl so there was quite a lot of rice which had a firm texture.
Will be back with friends to try the skewers and oysters.
To be honest, I expected a bit more as the pictures showed the salmon looked better in earlier posts because it didn't have skin attached to it.
I  liked the reusable flowers and leaf in the donburi as they were environmentally friendly.

Cart Noodles with Tapas style side dishes
2018-10-09  492 瀏覽
Noticed this new cart noodle joint a few weeks ago but as it had just newly opened, there was not much to offer.
Went past again a month later and they had more noodles so went in to give it a try.
As well as the usual noodle selection they had spinach and tomato to choose from.
The thing that really impressed me were the toppings, they are served in dishes like tapas which make it great for sharing.
For some toppings, I prefer them being served separately like sweet and sour gluten because the soup dilutes the flavours and I don't want my noodles having a sweet and sour taste.
In the case of fried beancurd rolls and fish skins, they become soft when they get to the table so you can't eat it while it is crispy.
Both noodles ordered were good because the broth was good and the noodles absorb the broth.
The beef had a strong aniseed taste with a rich brown colour, while the pork broth was light so I chose fresh mountain yam and Chinese radish with it.
My two favourites were the Sichuan tripe and Pork Trotters which were gelatinous and came with soft and starchy peanuts.
Although I love their broths, I want to come again and try the noodles without the soup so I can mix the sauce from the dishes into it.
There is also home made pickles and chili sauce on the table.


Overall I enjoyed the experience as the environment was good and the place was clean.
As they are changing the menu, I didn't take pictures it.

[Review 6889] Tallored again for salad @ Tallore

Again, fell for Tallore again when I was not intending to get anything.I fell for it because they had the Mexican potato taco salad.
It is an interesting flavour especially if you like Mexican food and potatoes.
Same with all the spicy salads, they can get very spicy but there were sweet potatoes in the box to sooth the spiciness.
The broccoli was laced with lots of herbs which made it very tasty.
Overall I was quite stuffed as this was just a small box and it was huge!!!!!!
Glad Tallore is doing well.
