The salted Egg trend is everywhere and now KFC has it too with Salted egg yolk sauce on softserve and salted egg yolk chicken wings.
I tried this a few weeks ago at the Kwun Tong branch because it is only served at designated branches.
I was glad there was a self service kiosk so I didn't have to queue but stupidly it wasn't on the menu so I had to waste time queueing.


The softserve costs $16 but didn't get much sauce.

The egg yolk sauce was thick and very starchy so I loved it.
It tasted like the custard bun filling you get in Chinese steamed buns so it was really nice because some custard buns have salted egg yolk filling which tastes just the same with sweet and savoury flavours going on at the same time,
Unfortunately, the softserve was too sweet and overpowered the salted egg yolk sauce.
It would be good if they gave you more sauce or made the softserve not so sweet.

I rarely go to NH because I just don't eat Yunnan Rice noodles.Only went because you could choose other noodles.
The beef one just looked like crap, but then most Chinese food looks like puke and its somehow normal in Hong Kong.
This is why I love Chinese in London, it looks edible.
My noodles looked slightly better and it was laced with spices and MSG so it cures your msg and Sichuan addictions instantly but you will feel thirsty afterwards.
The spring rolls were as good as before and now they do crispy spring roll bits which I plan to try next time.
My broth was too spicy this time but luckily I was able to get some extra plain broth to dilute it.

I have always wanted to visit this cafe where quite a lot of films are filmed.The cafe is right beside a tram track with trams that commute from the peak to and from Admiralty
The menu was a bit boring as it was just the usual Chinese Chaan Teng and Chinese style Western stuff.
Just got the pineapple tea as this was the only interesting tea there.
It was red tea so it has that slight bitterness to it but luckily it was quite nice with pineapple and not too sweet.
The tea was not too syrupy which was great as a thirst quenching drink.

Spicy dishes with a Kungfu kick!

There are so many branches of Twelve Flavours but I was surprised that this branch is under the Kungfu Dimsum group!

The menu is pretty much the same as the one in K Town and the menu is about the size of an A3 sheet!
I love the stir fried bowls where you get to pick five items with a spicy or soy sauce base.
Chose the spicy base which turned out a bit too spicy for me this time with a prominent kungfu spicy kick going on.
The luncheon ham is my favourite and this is a popular pic in Sichuan dishes.

It was all simply delicious with rice and the soft beancurd sheets are the spiciest as it absorbs all the spices.
Finished with the melon milk which was soothing while the passion fruit soda turned out to be a gigantic glass!

A few weeks ago my friend said this Food Hall opened on Caine Road so I went to look for it.Went to Caine Road and couldn't find it but it turns out that my friend read the word Food Hall beneath Bon Licious.
Anyway, finally found it and went there for lunch.
Ordered the salad with mac n cheese.
Totally regretted not getting the steak because it looked good after someone posted it.

The mac n cheese was surprisingly good but the potato and sweetcorn salad was a bit disappointing because the potatoes were hard.
You could tell hard they were because they were giving me such a hard time trying to jab the fork into the potatoes.
For desserts, I had this damn delicious overnight oats strawberry cheesecake which was loaded with healthy oats.
At the bottom of the jar you could see more oats that you mix in when you eat.
Finished with Comptoir Jasmine Tea which was a great finish!
Anyway, terribly regretted not getting the steak.
Service was super friendly and there is a really cute guy there who is really nice.

Went to Food Creative to see what was around and ended up having soup after some noodles.
There are various of soups to choose from ranging from HKD48-HKD68.
HKD68 is quite expensive for soup especially if you don't know if they are good or not so I chose the HKD48 soup to start with.
In terms of taste,  it was much stronger than Stewed in Cheung Sha Wan and there were more bits and bobs found in the soup.
The black fungus was very gelatinous and the taste of the soup was a tad salty with some MSG but better than the bland soup at Stewed not because it was saltless but it lacked pork which gives it more umami flavour.

Nepalese Noodles

Previously tried Funky Monkey in Jordan and I have always wanted to go back for the Nepalese food rather than drinks.Went to Food Creative recently to see what was around and Funky Monkey was there so went there for the noodles.

The only thing I wanted to try was either the momos or the noodles.
In the end got the noodles because Nepalese noodles are rather tasty.

The noodles came with tomato soup.

The noodles had lots of flavour but unfortunately too salty just like the noodles at this other Nepalese joint near SYP.
The tomato soup was very acidic, it tasted like the tomato brine that you get in canned tomatoes but in soup form.
