Big Sur is a Californian restaurant located on Staunton Street.
I have always wanted to try it so finally did one evening.
Unfortunately, the menu has changed so they longer have the cheese popovers
Had the asparagus which was my favourite as it came with lots of sourdough.
The salmon confit was also good because it was delicious smoked pink salmon complimented with Brussels sprouts and pickles.
Hopefully they will change the menu again and put the popovers back on.

Went here again because of the beef salad.

I had it again because the pictures looked good.

The slices of beef were succulent and tender and it came with lots of salad so it was quite filling yet light.

To be honest, I haven't been to these all you can eat restaurants for a long time and it has changed so much.

Firstly it is more environmentally friendly as you can order from the app.
(However they do have the order sheets for those who do not have smartphones).
Secondly, there is so much variety at TONO.

Not only was there Japanese food, there was Chinese food such as fish maw and abalone, herbal chicken feet soup and Sichuan pickled vegetable fish.

The Japanese food was good as expected so I decided to try the Chinese food to see if it was just as good.
I have to admit, I loved the coconut chicken soup and the abalone with fishmaw.
On the meat side, these were my picks, juicy lamb racks, chicken wings, grilled chicken wings and eel.
As well as ordering items to the table, the dessert bar and cooking stations had so much to offer like uni rolls, stir fried beef that will keep you busy the whole night.

Creamy uni hand rolls that were fresh and sweet:



Rest assured the dessert range does not disappoint with a wide range of desserts, fruits to icecream but I have decided to finish with plums and mangosteens as they are healthy and not many buffets offer it.




Since this visit, I've been wanting to go back again.

Glad Subway is popping up all over the place because TKT lacks a sandwich shop.Many years ago, there used to be HERO sandwich but that went.
Just had the bbq meatballs this time which were new and they were smoky and sweet.
The sauce was really strong and it is the same as the sauce you get for the sandwiches.
Also tried the branch at AsiaExpo but the prices are very different.

Stopped by Starbucks on the way to elements.
This branch does not have anywhere to sit but there are seats opposite.
Spotted this green sandwich which turns out to be Spinach salmon with cream cheese HKD29 so decided to try it.
Out of curiosity I just had to inspect it to see if the filling was uniformly distributed and the lettuce obviously wasn't!
I LOVE THE WAY HONG KONG CHEATS PEOPLE WITH THE PACKAGING SO THAT YOU CAN'T SEE THAT IT ISN'T FILLED ABOVE AND BELOW THE EDGES AS THERE IS CARD TO COVER IT.

There wasn't much cream cheese either.
Apart from the fillings, it was quite nice because the dill made it tasty but the sandwich was a bit dry.

Decided to make a trip to Foodium but the food was boring so just pondered into HM without the intention of getting anything.

Unfortunately, they had new musubis again and all three were stuff I liked, luckily only two of them were available.

Started with the Hiroshimana Greens with dried whitebait as it should be lighter in taste out of the two.
I loved the crunchy vegetables which were complimented by the aromatic black and white roasted sesame while the white bait gave it a nice savoury taste.
Moving on to the Spicy minced meat in Hiroshima style, I was surprised at how delicious this was because it tasted like a Chinese pork dish!!!!
If you look at the ingredients, it has Shaoxing rice wine, bean paste, five spice powder, Sichuan powder and Chinese seasoning!!!
The best thing was that the pork was finely minced and fresh so I will probably have this again.



Sadly, I am going to get HM again as they have LEMON CHICKEN which is making me curious how it would taste as a musubi!!

I was actually in for a surprise when I went here.

They had slow pressed juices and you could order drinks that were 100% sugar free.

I was actually doubting if they would be sugar free as usually taro and purple sweet potato are made with powders but ordered anyway.

There was a choice of purple potato or taro.
Purple potato is trending now but I had the taro because it is not as sweet compared to purple potato and less shops serve taro these days so you have to go to proper Taiwanese joints.

To my surprise, both were the real deal.
The cold pressed OJ was sweet and thick in the sense you could taste all parts of the orange from the pulp to the orange membrane.
Then the taro was exactly what I wanted, it didn't have any colouring and there were real pieces of taro so it was very satisfying as well as healthy.


Will definitely be back for the Sweet purple potato milk when I am in the area.
