I am not a fan of donburi but went here with a friend who wanted to check it out.
I got the $68 which isn't the premium one.
Anyway, it probably isn't as tasty as the more expensive one served here but it didn't really impress as there wasn't really a roasted flavour to it and the sauce was too sweet.

Not quite sure why this place is called Viet Dating but anyway they basically serve Vietnamese sandwiches.
Got the V&D Classic which has the usual.
I didn't like the bun as it was crunchy all the way through and the carrots were sweet.
The filling was just pork belly and the stuff stated on the menu and the mint was weird.
Finished with the Vietnamese lotus tea which was quite nice.
It wasn't very strong but pleasant to drink.

Ba Fang has been in Hong Kong for years, way before the Taiwanese trend came.I am surprised they are still around and how people are satisfied with pan fried dumplings and light snacks.
When you go into Ba Fang joint, you get the usual greasy oily smell in the air.

Recently went there and had the Taiwanese Beef Noodle set for $73 which is quite expensive compared to their other dishes.
Unfortunately, the broth was too heavy and salty that the noodles were just too salty!
A bit over priced but better than some other lame Taiwanese beef noodles in HK.

Spotted some new stuff at PB so tried them as they both had my favourite Cinnamon.
The Cinnamon Swirl was totally soft and the Cinnamon filling was interesting as the texture was like moist jam.
The taste was ok and not too sweet but the couldn't really taste any cinnamon though.
The Almond, Cinnamon apple cake was too sweet and it only had one piece of apple in the middle!!!!
The texture was moist and oily.
Also got a drink from the fridge which I won't bother to comment as it is not a PB product.

Chef Nic's McDonalds Creation

Earlier this year, Chef Nic (Nicholas Tse) came up with two burgers for McDs.
One was beef burger with bolognese and the other was the pork chop burger.

I didn't like the bolognese because it was too sweet.

The pork chop one fared better and it was a real pork chop coated in a light batter.
Tried it and didn't like it because of the sauce so ordered another one without the sauce and added McDs BBQ sauce which tasted so much better.
There was also SiuMei seasoning for the shake shake fries.
To honest, it was horrible, it tasted and smelt like burnt plastic!
Also tried the typhoon shelter seasoning which are on the fries below and that flavour was good.

Sweetcorn might be better in  that case!

Delish Donburis and Sushi sets

Discovered this restaurant after dining at the Japanese grill a few doors away.
Went here after xmas as they have donburis as well as sushi.
I liked the way they serve both so that non carbs people can just order sashimi.
The decor is quite modern.
There is a cool flight of stairs that lead you upstairs but you probably have to be careful coming down if you were slightly tipsy.
All sets come with soup, salad and appetizer.

I chose the Hokkaido don which had all my favourites but you can also opt for the customized dons which allow you to select 18 items.
Everything was fresh but the rice was a bit clumped together and the vinegar was a bit strong.
The sushi was good too so there is something for everyone.
Next time I will come back for something else.

Japanese Red Bean and Chestnut afternoon tea

To be honest, I haven't really been to hotels on this stretch so decided to check it out over the Christmas period.As my friends love Japanese red beans and chestnut, I joined them for tea which had these items.
The price is $348 for two and has the following items.
There was a good mix of savoury and sweet, although some items were sweet and savoury at the same time such as the red bean pancakes and smoked salmon.
My favourite was the jelly cup with chestnut and lobster salad on top.

The scallop croquette was visually nice as it was in a layer of purple sweet potato mash coated in breadcrumbs.
For the sweet tooth, I loved the scones which come with thick and creamy clotted cream.

Finished with the sweet items which were light and not too heavy.


The signature drink is another must try if you stop by for drinks.
