As I was still hungry went here for some dandan noodles.
It was just HKD30 a la carte which was pretty good.
When I got it, the presentation was rather poor, it was pale and weird.
What I didn't like was the minced pork which wasn't minced pork but pieces of disgusting fat.
This is the reason Hong Kong puts me off eating meat as you don't get real meat but strange stuff.

Next time, I will probably ask them to leave out the meat as it doesn't make any difference anyway.
It had coriander too which I will have to remember to request it left out.

It turns out the peanut stuff is at the bottom of the bowl so you have to mix it together.

Apart from the weird meat, the taste was quite good and the portion was big.
Do remember to look out for weird blue fibres which I got as well.

[Review 7193] Renowned Chinese fare in TST @ 翠亨邨 Tsui Hang Village

There two branches of  Tsui Hang Village in Hong Kong, Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui.
I have only been to the one in CWB a few years ago and tried some of their CNY Pudding occasionally.
Went here over the new year and found out that Tsui Hang Village will be celebrating its 45th anniversary this year.
As well as that, Tsui Hang Village is michelin recommended hence the reason it is always packed with people so expect a noisy scene.

For the Chinese new year gathering, my friends decided to start it off lavishly so we had some great stuff!

Began with the Double boiled Abalone and fish snout soup in a mini papaya which was loaded with abalone and fish maw.
Next was the Wok seared cod fish in premium soy sauce.
This was my faovurite because I just love cod and it was crispy drenched in a delicious soy sauce glaze.
The Baked whelk stuffed with meat was rather filling.
The Deep fried crispy chicken topped with spring onion and soy sauce was a marriage two of my favourite ingredients, sping onions and soy sauce.

The Honey glazed BBQ Pork is a signature and evidently popular so it disappeared fast.

For something filling we had the Stir Fried Glass vermicelli which had delicate pieces of egg in it.

Finished with the Sweetened almond cream with egg white which is a classic Chinese dessert.

Went here a while ago and ordered the hot tea.
The taste was ok and there was a roasted tea taste but the weirdest thing was that they put hot tea in a sealed paper cup.
No way am I going to drink that with a straw.
The cup would implode when it cools so to be safe I peeled the lid off to drink it.

I was hungry one day and lost on what to eat in Central so went here as they had the Lasagna!!!
You get HKD10 off when you purchase a drink so either way you save money on the drink or lasagna whichever way you look at it.
Although I was expecting it to taste good but there was something special about it.
After tasting it carefully I realized it had LEAF CELERY (Chinese celery) which gave it that special crunch and taste as well as their finely chopped carrots.
The minced meat in it was fresh which was just perfect.

Previously tried the Roundhouse in Wanchai which was quite good so went to the Central Branch.The menu is a bit different and I was hoping they would serve some lemonade or milkshake being American but they didn't.
Anyway had the beef brisket which is like HKD100 for about 5 thin slices.
It was too fat for my liking compared to the pictures posted by others on SM.
The star of the show was the coleslaw which was very TART, I love stuff that is refreshing or drenched in vinegar.
The mac and cheese looked promising as they used proper mac and not ribbed mac.
Unfortunately, the mac and cheese was salty beyond belief so had to get it changed.
The second one was still salty but not as salty as the first but still unacceptable.

Syrupy Juice
This shop is really popular in HH because there isn't a competitor for fresh juices.Anyway, ordered the cherry and apple juice.
I was pretty annoyed as she ran out of apples and put Asian pears instead which I hate because they are sweet and syrupy.
I couldn't quite taste the apple or cherries and it was rather syrupy sweet so I didn't like it.

Times have changed!

Tai On Building used to be like the slums of East Hong Kong with small yet affordable eateries.

Shockingly, Tiger Sugar have a shop there either upgrading the status of Tai On Building or degrading itself!
As there was no queue, I decided to try it.
It must be easier than before getting the Tiger Sugar franchise as it is just popping all over the place.
After shaking it vigorously to mix the brown sugar and milk, it was ready to drink.
The milk and brown sugar was a perfect balance and you can taste the fragrant brown sugar.
The pearls were soft and chewy.
