Beef noodles

Not really a fan of noodles so came here as the last straw.Had the flat rice noodles in broth with beef balls, beef slices and those weird pork balls.
The beef slices were good which gave a the broth a nice beef flavour.
The rest of the balls were artificial stuff which help fill you but not nutritional as they just contain flour, sugar and Msg.
Although the soup was good, it was a bit oily because of the beef.
The best thing about this joint is that it was become a food court for other food so come here if you've bought some food from elsewhere LOL!

I was in the area and stopped by because there were so many people buying stuff from here.
There was a heated cabinet at the front and I saw some interesting round shaped thing so ordered it.
The cutlet coating looked good because the colour was how you would expect it to be which meant their oil was fresh.
After taking a bite, It turned out to chicken inside but reconstituted chicken the stuff you find in chicken nuggets.
To be honest, I really liked it and it is a bit like a flat disc shaped chicken kiev without the cheese and it would taste good sandwiched in a burger bun with mayonnaise or ketchup.
Next was the chicken drummette which was also delicious, the coating was crispy and the chicken was juicy inside.

For drinks, I had the sago series as not many places serve drinks with sago.
I didn't have any expectations for the tea because I just don't like HK style tea but it turned out really nice as the tea base they used was different.
The other drink was soy milk with sago which is much lighter.
Will be back for more snacks.
Although the food is good, the service can be cocky sometimes.

Ventured here because everyone is checking out this new venue for Chinese Opera.
I hadn't a clue what this building was going to be when it was being built but it definitely stands out on the road being silver and metallic.
Inside there is a cute wooden house  right in the middle of this spacious hall.


On the first floor, there is a Chinese restaurant where people can dine before the show or for the theatrical groups to go and celebrate.

To tie in with Chinese opera, Moon Lok serves quality Cantonese dishes and dimsum by day.
The restaurant is also conveniently located near the China Ferry terminal and Sorrento so you will also find a residential and commercial crowd.

Started with Chinese Roast which was great for sharing and definitely delicious accompanied with rice.
Both were served with soy beans.
The roast pork was impressive, they were thick chunky pieces.

The roast pork we got was soft and moist.
It was quite lean as well which was brilliant.

On the healthy side there was the braised mixed mushrooms with fungus.
There were four different types of fungus in that dish.
It would be good if it wasn't that oily though because it defeats the purpose of being healthy.

For the mains, we had the eel steamed in plum which makes it refreshing as the plum balances the oilyness of the eel.
They also have it in black bean sauce.

The fried rice with minced beef was inspired by risotto which is why it looked so moist when it came.
It was quite nice and tasted like fried rice risotto which the chef intended.

Last but not least was the steamed crab with pork patty which was a huge meat patty ring mixed with crab roe then steamed with the crab shell on top.
The pairing of pork and crab meat were surprisingly good together.

Finished with the almond soup which was nutty and milky.


As it is newly opened, I think I will come back for dimsum and see how it fares.

Kanada-Ya is all over the world and there are three branches in London.
This is my second time at Kanada-Ya .
Went to the branch at Whampoa where it is quite a small joint with a bar by the ramen kitchen.
Obviously the drinks are slightly different internationally.
In UK, they have exclusive corn fed chicken whereas Tonkatsu is the main theme here.
There are quite a few main ramen broth bases to choose from.
 For starters had the gyozas and kaarage with mayonnaise.
For noodles had the Spicy Yuzu ramen and the MIX.
The spicy yuzu was spicier than expected with the heat coming from the peppercorns which taste like Sichuan Peppercorns.
The yuzu was present but it wasn't as citrusy as anticipated in the sense that it wasn't tart but at least it wasn't artificial with a strong yuzu peel essense.
The MIX was a mix of pork and chicken broth so it was rich and flavourful with a creaminess.
The pork slices for both ramens were soft and tender and my favourite thin ramen is used here.

Pacific Coffee is everywhere but the branches at Asia Expo branches have a good range for sandwiches.They had at least 2 -3 items on the vegetarian range.

I was surprised they had pickle, cheese and ham which is basically the ploughman.

It was definitely satisfying having a ham, cheese and pickle sandwich.
The pickle was tangy and sweet but I can't confirm if it was the Branstons brand but it all tasted good, however the cheese seemed like processed cheese which makes it not as good as Pret.
Will check out the other sandwiches on my next visit.

I am Thankful the restaurant that I was at earlier was rude hence it drove me to walk out and dine elsewhere.
Found this round the corner and the sandwiches caught my attention as they were really colourful.
I liked the way it was green and purple so you get two different sandwiches in the box which makes it not so boring.
$12 is a pretty good for sandwiches if they are good.
I thought they were vegetarian but they had Tuna in them.
It would be good if they had a vegetarian one with purple cabbage and sweetcorn as the colours and taste would go together.
Personally I liked the purple cabbage as the cabbage has this mustard aftertaste which is hard to explain and it wasn't so sweet compared to the lettuce one.
Also had the Chinese stuff which was ok but not as exciting.
The stockfish congee was just gingery and the noodles were reheated which you could taste.
Saying that, it was good they served the noodles hot as most places will just give you cold noodles that have been sitting there for a while.
The Menu with a freshly squashed fly (not by me):
This place is actually a juice joint so most of the sets have juices included as a drink.
It is located on the G/F and not the 2/F as stated on the current info.

[Review 7264] WokPot @ 彩興來來火鍋

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/wokpot-e3328490

Choi Hing is located at Corinthia By The Sea which is a real bugger to get to.
There is no connecting mall so you have to take main road to Chi Shin Street, cross that then go in the small alley which leads to Corinthia By The Sea.
Luckily I was accompanying someone to get their SmartID done so I didn't deliberately come all the way here for this.
Went here randomly for hotpot as the pots looked funny.
 The pots looked more like WOKS so therefore I call them wokpots!
The menu was pretty standard so it just depends on the quality of the ingredients they use.
Hotpots must be tasteless as sauces and condiments are annoying compulsory and charged when I don't really need it.

Some of the items were creative for a hotpot with avocado items.
- Avocado wasabi Beef
-Prawn balls stuffed with avocado
There are various of pots to choose from, if you choose fish that will be a bad mistake.
The fish isn't that silky and the best thing is bones!
For the hotpot, here were the items we had:
The ostrich meat was damn good because it was tender like beef but without any cholesterol.
If you order rice vermicelli, it ends up tasting like the Chinese braised vermicelli dish with duck.
As for the hotpot, it gets saltier and saltier towards to end laced with fish bones.
Definitely coming back again for a bonetastic experience!
