I'm not really a fan of Hello Kitty but tried it anyway as it was affordable and some of the bakery products in the series looked delicious.

Strawberry burger:
Savoury burger:
Apple cheese tart:
Sugar and Cinnamon Toast:
\
On this visit, got the toast and bread.
I'm not a fan of Maxims bread but this cute little this loaf was filled with red beans and cream cheese.
Out of all the products, I liked the toast most because it was just simply Hello Kitty's head with sugar and cinnamon.
I love the taste of sugar and cinnamon so therefore I liked it.
It was a little soft but it didn't bother me.

The name SHEEP and PIG  got my attention so decided to go and check it out.I thought it was going to be a Western restaurant like Feather and bone or something fancy like that.
The decor was modern and the clothes peg bench at the front was rather cute.

It turns out they serve Japanese and Western inspired dishes.



The menu covers were quite random, some were pictures of HK and other stuff.


I don't get why they have used the rolling pin as a logo because they don't bake or serve any pies there.

Started off with the buffalo wings which was tangy served with blue cheese dressing.
Overall a good start.

For the mains had the Japanese style fish donburi which was quite sweet topped with oden type vegetables.



The signature Sheep and Pig rolls were pretty.
They were rolls wrapped in Pink Soy paper


Inside these rolls were tuna, avocado and fried prawn.
It tasted similar to a California roll but with better ingredients inside.



Finished with a coke float.


Overall a nice comfy joint for food.

Most chocolate teas I come across are chocolate with black teas or pu er and chocolate as you need something strong to go with the chocolate.Here they had tieguanyin and chocolate which was different so decided to try it.
I couldn't taste much tea but when I got to the bottom I found a tea bag.
It was just like drinking chocolate however I believe there would be a stronger tieguanyin taste if the tea bag had been steeped longer.

Best Chinese almond drink and steak

I was craving for beef lately so went here when I saw pictures of the Tenderloin.
Sam Chaan is located near Jordan which is away from the TST crowd.

Friend had the mixed steak while I had the tenderloin.
Both come with Borscht soup and toast with a choice of gravy.
The tenderloin was impressive, perhaps I was lucky that day as it was so big that it hid the fries behind it.
It was so good that there were no tendons found.
The steak was done just right, each bite was tender and moist.

I am so happy I got my beef cravings satisfied.
To finish, the almond drink was the best I have had as it was thick and creamy and not too sweet.

Definitely coming back.

Tried the MOS premium fish burger because it was new.
The fish burger has curry sauce in it.
The fish filet was a bit oily and overdone while the curry sauce was a bit too sweet for my liking.

Not worth trying.

Spicy delights in TST

There are lots of Sichuan Restaurants in TST but this one was close to the MTR station so went there as it was raining.Previously, this spot used to be Old Beijing so the decor is much the same but changed to a different style.

I liked their menu as it was digitalized so you can just tap what you want and submit.
The menu is available in English and Chinese with pictures.


Additional requests can be made:

Started with the dandan noodles which were rather fiery.
The noodles they use is very different as they were thinner and didn't stick together.
If I am not wrong, I believe they are mountain yam noodles (waisaanmin).
The next dish was the Shaoxing wine pigeon.

The main dish was the Sichuan fish maw and fish roe.
It delights me when I see this dish because it means they serve fresh fish in the poached Sichuan fish dish as this is where the fish roe and fish maw come from.


The fish roe was chunky and it has been fried so the coating is slightly crispy.



The fish maw was soft and gelatinous.

Overall, quite a nice place for Sichuan fare so I might be back for lunch.

[Review 7468] Top notch Chiuchow cuisine on Lockhart Road @ 鈺膳潮州私房菜 Yuk Cuisine

Times have changed!!!
What used to be a red light zone in Wanchai is now bustling with new eateries and restaurants.
I feel that I have to try every restaurant in Wanchai because I love this area,
There is something special about their menu because they offer these Chiuchow style patties where you can choose potatoes or taro!!
To me, I would describe them as Chiu Chow hash browns but their menu refers to them as cakes/dumplings.

As a carbs lover I got the TARO and POTATO.

Potato and dried shrimps patty:
The texture and taste is very different to hash brown in the sense that it was slightly chewy and crispy on the outside.
It was tasty as there were dried shrimps in it.

Taro Patty:
Again, the texture is similar to the potato one as it was chewy, however with the main ingredient being taro, it was slightly starchy but not dry.

Chicken with crispy leaves:
I was a little disappointed with this dish as it was a bit bland yet this is a common Chiuchow dish.
The ones I have tried before were tastier.


Bittermelon with spareribs and soy beans:
This dish was simple yet amazing because the bittermelon was soft and infused with pork.
The soybeans were delicious and I ended up drinking the broth as it wasn't too salty.
