Lemon Chicken Musubi

I can never keep up with the new musubis at HM.
Unfortunately, all the new items for May were things I liked including oyster cutlet, fried noodles and the Chicken in Lemon sauce musubi.
I will try the noodles and oyster later as they need to be reheated but the lemon chicken musubi is ready to eat which is why I keep falling for their products.
I wasn't sure what to expect for the lemon chicken as it could be Chinese style which is sweet or Western style which would be more tangy.

The taste was really pleasing because it wasn't sweet but pieces of chicken with a hint of lemon where you can also taste the slight bitterness of the lemon peel as well.

Durian balls!

To be honest, a drink is just a drink, I prefer it without stuff to chew as you can possibly choke on it.
Normally if the drink contains boba pearls, I will finish the drink first and then eat the pearls.
I only tried [Just Bobba] because of the durian pearls.

I got the Jasmine Tea with durian pearls.

Tried the tea on its own and the Jasmine was strong and thirst quenching.
Slowly there was some durian flavour coming through when I was halfway through the drink.
When I tried the pearls, I did not like it as the durian flavour was very artificial.

When you see neatly arranged dishes in bowls, they look captivating.
You get to see and pick which dish you want.
Technically you do at other restaurants but they are all in a big metal dish but with the smaller bowls you can see which one has more/less vegetables/meat and pick your desired one.

Went back another day and it looked more or less the same so I picked 3 dishes with rice and soup for HKD45.
Anyway, it was hard deciding as there were so many good picks like bittermelon, sweet and sour pork, curry, egg and tomato, aubergine.
Skipped the sweet and sour as pork was risky in the sense that it could be bones or just pieces of fatty meat.
Overall, I was satisfied with my three choices especially the bittermelon as the bittermelon and soft and tasty while the pork was fresh.
The curry was ok but a bit watery and the aubergines were quite salty but I will still return as you see what you get!

I love noodles so got these Yakisoba style noodles which need to be reheated.
I didn't find much pork in it but then I wasn't bothered because I don't really eat the meat anyway.
The noodles turned out quite nice because they were not too salty and they don't have that oily taste like Hongkie style noodles.
The texture of the noodles were similar to pasta with a little bit of springiness to it.
Overall, quite nice.

I go through sugar phases so when I get a sugar craving, it has to be Mrs Fields cookies or muffins.
Local Chocolates, cakes and desserts from Hong Kong simply won't do.
Got the Redcurrant and strawberry muffin which I don't think I have tried before.
The muffin was moist and soft, each mouthful was divine as it was sweet with pieces of redcurrant and strawberries.
I don't know what it is but the muffins are moreish and addictive that it satisfies my sweet and cake cravings.
Will definitely be getting more muffins soon as they make good breakfasts.

Australian Potato Scallops found here

I have always wanted to try this place as they serve vegetarian cart noodles.
The famous broth at this place is laksa while the topping is the [Potato Slices].
As it was my first visit, it was really hard making up my mind as I wanted to choose everything so I reduced it down to four choices.
I was also having a hard job deciding on which noodle as they all seemed good.
I was really fortunate the guy spotted my choice of broth didn't go well together because I was supposed to tick laksa but ticked satay broth by accident as they both have SAND in the Chinese character.

While I was waiting, I was given some soup.

The noodles were pretty impressive especially the broth which was strong and flavourful without meat.
The mock beef belly was really good because there was a hint of black bean in the gravy.
The star of the show was the potato slices which were basically Australian Potato Scallops.
Australian Potato scallops do not contain scallops, they are fried slices of potato tat are covered in batter.
The potato slices were pretty good, only one of them was slightly hard in the middle.
Will definitely be back to try the other toppings and noodles.

Quick dinner at San Xi Lou

San Xi Lou is a restaurant that started off in the Mid Levels and now they have branched to Time Square.
The second branch is much more convenient so went here for dinner.
The menu is pretty much the same.
You get given some starters with the tea when you sit down.
The usual Chinese policy, you either get charged for tea or snacks.

I love  Gastrodia Fish head soup so ordered it.
There was a promising strong herb smell when it came.
The lamb with spring onions was not how I expected it to be as the lamb tasted like beef.
It was still ok but the  spices were not strong enough, I was expecting more of cumin.
