Delish cholesterol fueled orange snacks

I love these orange snacks every now and then but the two good ones are located in Kowloon next to busy traffic whilst the one in Sheungwan has bad attitude.
Discovered this joint at the FoodLane in a clean air conditioned environment so decided to try it.


The  cuttlefish  tentacles looked bigger compared to the ones I have seen before.
Despite the size, it was still tender and springy.
Overall, it was quite satisfying as the sauce makes every bite so moreish when you have the perfect ratio of mustard to Seafood sauce.
I love it when my skewer has a piece of chopped up feeding tentacle as that part tastes really good because it is the most tender part compared to the arms.


Also tried the intestines as it had ones of those round pieces from the two weird looking skewers behind the intestines.

Actually I am so glad I didn't order it as the texture was like biting into fat so I couldn't spit it out quick enough.
The intestines were as good as expected and the guy is quite nice as he lets you pick which skewer you want from the pile!

There four branches of this according to the shop lady!!!

Anyway, this is the only one on the HK side so went here and I expect the quality to be better.
In terms of presentation, it was better than SSP.
I was captivated by their thinly sliced beef posted on some media but decided to try the chicken as it was their signature.

You get onion salad which is very different and your breath will be extremely garlicky the whole day as the sauce has lots of garlic in it as well.
The chicken definitely impressed me as it was soft and tender white meat as I requested for non dark meat.
That meant I got so much chicken
The rice wasn't as tasty as I expected but still went well with the chicken, however the crispy shallot on top ruined the experience as they were so hard that you could crack your teeth.
HKD40 is definitely quite a good deal in the Sheungwan area but the rice could be better as it has to compete with Princess Maya down the road

[Review 7222] Starbucks at Kowloon City Plaza @ 星巴克咖啡 Starbucks Coffee

To be honest, I don't know if KCP had a Starbucks before and got moved or this is a totally new branch in KCP.
Decided to dine there because they had the caramel danish.
The caramel danish was a little different from what I imagined.
I thought there was going to be caramel drizzled on top or caramel in the middle but it turns out to be caramel custard in the middle.
It was reheated perfectly so it wasn't too hard or crunchy and the filling in the middle was not too sweet.
Finished with a Venti Cloud Mist tea which was only HKD30.

Discovered this cafe on the corner which used to be some other dessert shop.I am not sure if they market themselves as French or target themselves for the Mainland as there is no English name on openrice.
The eclair selections were quite good but the Chinese name is strikingly similar to this other real French Brand.

Whilst it is trying to be Western, the crowd in Kowloon City seem to just walk in because of the interior but disinterested with the products.


For me the biggest let down was the drinks selection because it was so Chinese with Lemon Tea and they didn't have any Western teas so I ordered the sparkling water as there was nothing really I wanted.
The caramel eclair was ok but crunchier than the usual filled with caramel cream.

The donut fared better as it was filled with apple jam.


After googling Elysee, it makes sense with the drinks selection as this is from Macau.

I love Lasagna so I have it wherever I can find it.
Pacific Coffee had it so ordered a portion which costs HKD50.
The portion size is reasonable and baked in a cardboard container.
Unluckily but luckily I ran into a piece of brittle bone on my first mouthful which meant I had to eat the rest carefully.
Apart from the bone, the taste was ok with a rich tangy tomato paste and minced beef which is definitely not pure beef!
Again, meat is not really edible in Hong Kong and you really don't know what they put in minced meat or flour coated stuff which you can't see.
Hoping there will be a vegetarian Lasagna soon!

Ippudo has branches all over the world and they are quite successful in HK.
I dine at Ippudo every now and then when they have something new.
This time they had the ramen with  clams [Golden Hamaguri Shoyu Ramen].
They use the thin ramen for this.
You get a piece of chicken, slice of pork, half boiled egg, vegetables, egg and seaweed in the bowl.
The soup and ramen were great but the only complaint was that the ramen didn't really absorb the broth so it wasn't that tasty.

I'm not really into their bakeries but this time saw two possibly delicious items.
One was savoury and one was sweet.

I was impressed with the savoury one as it looked good with purple onions and cheese with a runny yolk in the middle.
There is a piece of ham beneath the egg yolk which held the egg in place when it was baked.
The egg was runny as stated and overall it was delicious especially when you dipped the bread into the yolk.
The other sweet treat I got was the Sago Tart.
I would definitely recommend this if you don't have a problem with sugar as the pastry base is damn sweet let alone the sago custard filling.
