Decided to chill out because it was too hot outside.
At Eslite, there are two spacious joints, the other one was packed so went here because it was not so busy.
The prices are slightly expensive which keeps the crowd away but you do get some people who are not patrons or bring their own food to indulge.
Ordered the gelato of the day which was red tea ice cream.
It costs HKD50 which is quite pricey and probably a one off thing because I doubt I would return.
If only they had another flavour because I don't really like red tea as it tastes like Hong Kong style milk tea.
Basically, it did taste like Hong Kong style milk tea so Hong Kongers will love it and there is a slight bitterness to it.

Delish chicken and Turmeric rice

There are two joints that serve chicken and rice and this joint has a Sichuan twist to it.
Sadly, the other joint ran out of yellow rice so I can't compare it to this joint but the chicken here was definitely better because it was super soft and tender.
The rice wasn't memorable because I couldn't really taste the turmeric.
But the good thing is that they have so many condiments and sauces at the bar for you to use.
I found it really amusing, they have a curtain installed in the kitchen premises which I thought was used for changing but the chef was in there for a quite a while so he really didn't want people to see his secret recipe.

Went here because IKEA Bistro didn't have what I wanted so went here for a salted caramel latte instead.
The picture looked quite nice but luckily they told me it wasn't like that.
The latte had a strong coffee taste but I couldn't taste the caramel or salty notes in the drink.
The Earl Grey tea was a little different to the blends I have had as there was a strange lemongrass taste.
Although the drinks were not that good this time, the guy that day was really patient and nice to everyone.

[Review 7231] @ 唐記包點 Tong Kee Bao Dim

SADLY this wet market has been renovated and this delicious dimsum place had to shut down.
Anyway, there  is now a smaller dimsum joint called Tong Kee Bao Dim which is not really new but one of the leaders in Takeaway dimsum.
Evidently it is very successful with branches everywhere BECAUSE HONG KONG PEOPLE JUST HAVE TO HAVE THEIR DIMSUMS.
However it is interesting why they would have such a branch with a dine in area or perhaps MCP  is encouraging some specific joints to have a dine in area for customers. Currently Kingyo tea, Koi and TP teas which are takeaways have dine in areas at MCP.
A while ago, I overheard a conversation that malls are not being so strict with what shops/restaurants can rent a shop what but saying that another shop in Whampoa who said they were not allowed to sell too much snacks but focusing on other products.
Went here twice as on the first round, I only two items to see if they were edible.
It was a pity I did not take a photo of the gyoza when I got it as there was a biro mark on it which I was definitely not eating.
THE LADY ALMOST ATTEMPTED TO JUST REMOVE THE BLUE SPOT BUT AS IT PROVED DIFFICULT SHE FINALLY EXCHANGED THE GYOZA.
SHE LAUGHED IT OFF SAYING IT WAS THE INGREDIENTS USED WHEN CLEARLY IT WAS PEN INK!
Or perhaps this is their new stylish instaworthy gyoza!
The gyozas were actually quite good because the pork and oil was fresh. The buns are basically the same as the steamed ones but pan fried.
Went there again as the gyozas and buns deemed fit for consumption and this time I got a box and some sauce which was not given to me on the first round.
The satay beef bun was sweeter filled with lots of beef inside.

Spicy Spirit caused a stir when their first branch landed in Causeway Bay.
Lots of people were raving about how good their Spicy ducks blood was.
Well the good news is that Spicy Spirit is on the Kowloon side to satisfy the cravings of duck blood thirsty people!
There are lots of broths to choose from but we got the fish maw chicken and the Spicy Spirit signature.
The Spicy broth was memorable as the aniseed flavour is strong.
The cubes of ducks blood were silky and moreish which is why one or two is not enough hence another round of jelly cubes!
Also had the ready to eat beef bowl which had tripe, tendon and beef but I found it spicier than the pot itself.
Next were the hotpot ingredients with unusual ones like egg dumplings, purple rice cake and crispy rib puffs.
Last but not least were the vegetables which had my favourite Crystal ice plant and garland chrysanthemum.
Finished with the mocktails which were all seasons!
Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
My favourite was the Winter which comes with a lighted Cinnamon Stick.

As well as soups, this joint specializes in Tortoise Jelly and Herbal Teas.
I love soups so went here for it and there are so many types of soup for different health benefits.
Got the silkie chicken soup because  which had lots of chicken in it as well as herbs.
The taste was strong and not watered down which is makes it worth it and the chicken is still tender enough to eat.
Will try other soups next time.

I love Spicy ducks blood and Spicy stinky/smelly tofu but you can only get these at hotpot places.
At Very Good Eat, they serve all my favourites which is served similarly to hotpot style.
They cook the ingredients of your choice and serve it in a small portion of spicy broth.

It is pretty affordable and you can order items which you specifically want without having to go to a hotpot.
I got the ducks blood, luncheon meat and smelly tofu.

Both the tofu and ducks blood were a treat and delicious with rice which I bought nearby.
The tofu blocks were huge, soft and mushy.
Will definitely be back for more.
