Delish Kaya Toast
2019-01-25  455 瀏覽
I love Pandan and Kaya so had to come here for the Kaya Toast.
Went past this joint a while ago and it reminded me of Nyonya Coming which used to be nearby also on a hilly road.
Assam is slightly bigger and serves local snacks as well.
Unfortunately, I didn't try this place earlier as they have nice raised the prices for the Kaya Toast which previously was $16.

Basically, it was a toastie filled with bright green kaya paste.
I was suprised how delicious it was so ordered a second one which was just as good.
The filling is like a light fluffy paste that is not too sweet with bits of coconut in it and there was a fragrant kaya taste as well.
Will definitely come back  for toast and Chicken if I am in the area again.

The only thing that sucks is that it is on a dangerous spot as the buses look like they drive on the pavement as it is on the bend.
Lets hope a bus won't crash into that corner.

Rather disappointing
Didn't get as much kaya filling as my fellow friends hxfde n gxry but then obviously theirs were for a photo shoot because I've had that experience before where you can ask the chef for more truffle or sauce for better pictures.
Anyway they said it was the timing but I wasn't complaining about the toast but the kaya filling which wont increase/decrease with time.
The consistency of the kaya filling was also different, runnier here and paste like in the previous version.
The taste was quite good but not enough filling to taste it properly but will probably return for noodles for my singmalay series  along with Mean Noodles.
Recently went Assam for the Pandan toast which was much cheaper but the Kaya filling is different.

Oneironaut is person who explores dream worlds, usually associated with lucid dreaming which is definitely me.
I always have dreams within dreams and I love it when you know you are in a dream so you can do stuff which you can't do in reality.
Anyway, went here during off peak hours because it is nice and quiet, would have tried the hojicha latte but only had HKD50 on me so had the Jasmine Jelly and Jasmine Tea.
The Jasmine jelly was really good as there was a strong jasmine taste but I didn't like the coco de nata as it just got in the way.
Finished with the tea which was a good compliment.

I have always wanted to visit the Stone Houses in Kowloon but it has always been closed when I went.Finally it was open so went there for drinks.
The Irish Cream Milk was an interesting option so had that.
It just tasted like milk with a coconut touch to it because it is made with monins syrup.
If you wait a while it tastes better colder.
Also had the tea which is the usual tea bag tea.
I've seen this stuff in Shatkung. Those old pots and stuff but if you haven't then here is the place to see old bunker beds and suitcases.

[Review 7158] KFC Golden Series @ 肯德基家鄉雞 (KFC) Kentucky Fried Chicken

KFC now has fried chicken coated with golden egg yolk.The fried chicken and coating is very different to UK so I rarely have it unless there is something new.
Tried the softserve with salted egg yolk sauce a few weeks ago which lacked sauce.
This time tried the fried chicken and chicken wings with salted egg yolk.
Clearly the fried chicken is CRUNCHY in HK from their Motto which I can't stand, Jollibee and Popeyes are better as the coating is much nice and the quality of the chicken is better.
Burger King has some seriously delicious fried chicken but sadly overpriced!!
Anyway, the fried chicken was not good as the salted egg yolk was only on the surface and it was just dry and hard.
The chicken wings were much nicer as it was evenly coated and not as hard.
But both had a spicy kick to it which wasn't very nice.
The lighting is interesting as it was avocado shaped, not sure how it is related to Chicken though.

[Review 7157] Converted Chinese Medicine joint @ 大和堂咖啡店 Tai Wo Tang Cafe

Tai Wo Tang was once a Chinese Medicine Clinic and now it has converted into a coffee shop so you will see those typical wooden drawers etc.
I liked the modern and historic contrast as you are sitting in this Chinese Med Clinic eating modern fusion dishes.
As I was late, I was joining some friends who had ordered some food because I secretly had some satay skewers at Lan Ying nearby as they are closing down.


They were tucking in this American inspired chicken waffle but with a Hong Kong twist as the waffle was replaced with an eggette.
The fried chicken was quite dark and Hongkie style, a mix of sweet and savoury flavours in play if that's your thing.

Also had the chocolate bavarois which was beautifully presented in this Chinese tea cup.
The chocolate was rich, strong and decadent.

Finished with a cup off coffee which was the best because it was aromatic with a thick foam cap.

Friends had the signature floral tea which too rosy for my liking as I just hate roses.

 On the contrary I think they should gang up with this restaurant nearby which serves this meat patty that contains grounded Chinese medicine and gojiberries served in a wooden bucket and the menus are hand written Chinese calligraphy which would really suit this place.
However, it won't attract the young hippy crowd as people are just looking for instaworthy food more than something delicious.

I was captivated here by their lunch menus posted on Insta but sadly the menu was different on my visit.They had stuff like avocado risotto, Taro risotto, orecchiette and ravioli before.
Anyway, here was the menu on my visit.
Luckily they had the Risotto with XO Sauce which turned out quite tasty but a tad salty.
Also had the ribs which were plated nicely and they were soft and juicy.
All lunches are served with soup or salad, tea and dessert.
Will keep checking their online menu to see when  what dishes will lure me again but it is all about fate and the right timing.
