Previously, this spot used to be Lai Yuen but not anymore!It is now a girly Thai joint serving noodles etc.
I was really looking forward to dessert because they had pandan icecream but as they don't have a license for icecream therefore they don't have it.
The stir fried pork with basil is rather spicy so the noodles fared better.

The boat noodle was good and loaded with a bit of everything.

My favourite was the Ubon Ratchathani noodles because there were lots of basil leaves in it with a white peppery taste.
It was a bit like pho so I really liked it.

Finished with drinks and coconut pudding.

There are two branches of Ideal Dim Sum in Kwun Tong.
Being lazy I went to this branch as it was closer to the MTR.
Sadly all the things I wanted to try were not on the menu and at that point I really should have walked out instead of staying.
Tried the pink rice rolls which are made of red rice.
They were soft and sticky but that was it and the portion was big too.

Had the fried puffs with red beans and banana.

They were too crunchy for my liking and there was not much banana inside.

I doubt I will be in the area but if I am near the other branch I might go in and try the cheese and bacon bun.

This small coffee joint has been here for quite a while, as well as Jordan, there is a branch in Central.
Finally tried it as I was in the area.
Ordered the hot pink chocolate which was really nice hence ordered the cold chocolate.
To be honest after trying both, the hot version tasted the best.
I was a bit disappointed with the iced pink chocolate because you could only taste the milk and it cost more.
I am pretty sure they used ruby cocoa chocolate even though it didn't say on the menu or when I asked but I was quite sure as it has this distinct berry taste unlike raspberries.
Will definitely be back for the dark and pink chocolate.

There are so many good noodles joints in Prince Edward.
I was captivated by this one because it was clean and affordable.
They have jars of pickled radish which must be tried.
They had a nice crunch but not tangy enough for my liking as they were a bit sweet.
As this place has congee, noodles and ricerolls I decided to try a bit of everything so ordered the plain ricerolls and plain noodles because most meat in Hong Kong is just................
The plain rice rolls were really good and all it needed was just some chili sauce and savoury soy sauce as opposed to sweet soy sauce which Hong Kongers just love.
The wonton noodles were also good as there was no alkaline taste.
The beef brisket wasn't as soft as anticipated so pork trotters are probably a better choice as they are recommended anyway.
The congee was damn good but had to wait for it to cool because when it was hot you couldn't really taste the salted egg.
As well as salted egg, it was loaded with preserved egg and vegetables.

[Review 7163] Captivated by the Chinese calligraphy menu @ 龍城餐館 Kowloon City Restaurant

Obviously I was attracted here by the Chinese calligraphy menu which obviously doesn't mean anything me to as I can't read it.
The owner thought I was taking the piss when I was looking for the printed menu and I am sure he took it to heart as he left the shop for a while!!!
hahahahaha
Anyway went in as there was no one and ordered the signature meat patty served in a wooden tub.
The meat patty had tin chut (Chinese ginseng or notoginseng) in it as well as gojiberries and black fungus.
When it arrived, it looked nice and it came with soup and a tea.
The soup was quite good as you could taste the mustard greens in it.
As for the tub of rice, it was a bit weird, the meat had a strange smell but I don't think it was the Chinese ginseng because it didn't smell like that.
Again the reason I don't really eat meat in HK is because it doesn't taste fresh.
But anyway, I quite like the gimmick here and I think they could gang up with Tai Wo Tang cafe as it is  a similar style.

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.
