https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/omnipork-almost-top-marks-but-it-was-too-salty-e3510095
My quest for vegetarian food is all about having acquaintance with it.
Ever since Fairwood launched the omnipork series I have been meaning to try the Omnipork tofu but their omnipork menu is on rotation.
I think there are 4 vegetarian dishes that are on rotation which means a 0.25 chance of that dish on the menu plus the probability of it not being sold out and the probability I haven't made plans for FOOD!
It was Thursday night and I was in Wanchai so I tried my luck!!!
It was on the menu and still available to order as it was 6ish that time so I was super happy as the guy at the cashier was super friendly.
Wanchai is a good bet because the office people have buggered off.
Evenings are better as you get table service just like McDonalds.
If it wasn't for omnipork, I doubt I would be dining here as the meat isn't edible because you just get fat and bones which I end up not eating.
If you look at it closely, the sauce is evidently a thick paste and dark.
Unfortunately it was too salty but the best omnipork tofu I have tried because you can taste the Sichuan peppercorns, salted vegetables (jaachoi) and shiitake mushrooms.
The taste is similar to the omnipork tofu at Green Common Deli recipe from TASTE. Kowloon Tong but GCD is sweeter.
As it was salty, I requested for more rice to finish it off and they were happy to give me more rice.
Funnily enough, I was still hungry afterwards.
Even though it was too salty, I am still going to try another branch and see how it compares.

Another HM with dine in
2019-08-20 247 瀏覽
I love HM and this time I was lured by the Iwate salted chicken.
This branch has tables so I dined there.
The chicken was tastier than expected, the saltiness was interesting as you can taste the salt but it isn't overly salty.
The chicken thigh was springy and tender but I wish it was a bigger piece.
Overall satisfied.
The difference with dine in shops is that they serve soup as well meaning you can get the sets.

[Omnipork Tofu] Fairwood Wanchai vs Polam
2019-08-16 47 瀏覽
My quest for vegetarian food is all about having acquaintance with it.

I think there are 4 vegetarian dishes that are on rotation which means a 0.25 chance of that dish on the menu plus the probability of it not being sold out and the probability I haven't made plans for FOOD!
It was Friday night and I was in Polam to visit the newly opened USelect so I tried my luck!!!
It was on the menu and still available to order as it was 6ish that time as most people dine out on Friday nights.
Evenings are better as you get table service just like McDonalds.
If it wasn't for omnipork, I doubt I would be dining here as the meat isn't edible because you just get fat and bones which I end up not eating.
This was my second time having this dish as I had it the previous night in Wanchai and it was too salty.
It looked promising here as the sauce was like gravy and it wasn't so dark or paste like.
Here they give you kidney beans which I didn't get at WC.
It was salty but not as salty a WC.
It was the best omnipork tofu I have tried because you can taste the Sichuan peppercorns, salted vegetables (jaachoi) and shiitake mushrooms.
The taste is similar to the omnipork tofu at Green Common Deli recipe from TASTE. Kowloon Tong but GCD is sweeter.
Again, I was still hungry afterwards but I still plan to try their omnipork curry.

[Review 7660] Exclusive hotpots at the K11 Sichuan House @ 霸王川莊 Sichuan House

It has been a while since I have last been to Sichuan House.
The K11 branch has hotpot which is exclusive.
There is a nice bar area.
In the middle, there is a display of all the herbs used in the hotpots which you can smell and see what they look like.
Condiments:
The food at Sichuan House is authentically spicy so I ordered a grapefruit slush as a cooler for when things get hot!!
The menu:
We had the pickled fish pot and the Sichuan pot.
Both were super fiery as this restaurants guarantees that authentic spiciness.
For hotpot items, we had vegetables, seafood and meat which were all fresh and tasty.
As the food was really spicy, we finished with their house made gelato!!!
The Sichuan pepper had a really strong numbing feeling so beware!

At first I thought it was opened by a friend who lives in SK but it wasn't.
It seemed worth trying as all my non SK foodie friends have bookmarked it.
There were only two seats so I went on a rainy day when there were less people.
It was fate that I had the strawberry mille feuille because had the earl grey roll or strawberry roll been available I would have had trouble deciding.
I have never had a decent mille feuille in Hong Kong but this is the best I have ever had because the pastry is light and literally melts in your mouth.
The one in TH is no match for this at all.
The filling was fluffy and not too sweet complimented by the juicy slices of strawberry.
As well as the filling, the cream on top was real fluffy cream so every part of it was delicious.

Obviously this place specializes in ice-creams but they keep changing the flavours so you have to try your luck and see if there is one for you on on your visit.Wanted to try the pandan one a while ago but it was difficult finding a time to go to SK because it is a waste of time as you can't get out.
Finally went on a rainy day and tried the Coconut sugar vanilla icecream with cocao nibs topped with pistachio crumbs.
I chose this because it had cocao nibs.
I loved the icecream as it wasn't too sweet and the cocao nibs really made a difference because I just love the crispiness and the flavours that come out from it.
The pistachio wasn't really necessary but I added it anyway.

This used to be GC, then a bakery supplies joint and now this.
Saw the Portuguese egg tarts so decided to give it a try.
They looked good but not to my liking as the filling was too eggy, runny and too sweet.
The pastry was weak and floppy that it relied heavily on the tin case.
The donut was weird, clearly a Chinese style donut, it was yellow inside.
The sugar and cinnamon was ok but it just had the same texture as all the Chinese bakeries, not fluffy or risen.
