Great for lunch as well as desserts
2019-08-27  20 瀏覽
Since my last visit, so much has changed.
Soupreme isn't here and if I could go back in time I would visit MEDIEVAL WEAPON CAFE which had all the Medieval armory and stuff if you google it.
As it was raining cats and dog, went here as it was quiet.

It was good that they offered lunch because I was super hungry as the chicken I wanted at a different shop was sold out.

When the vermicelli came, it looked damn delicious as the product shot wasn't that convincing and it didn't show the soup and dessert.

It was minced pork with pumpkin.

The only complaint was that it was a little too salty but otherwise it was heaven as they used fresh pork as well.
Coconut pudding:

For dessert, they had proper Taiwanese desserts but I chose the melon based ones to be on the healthy side.
Both were great.

I love boat noodles because they are small bowls of noodles which are not filling.
At Tuk Tuk Boat Noodles, you can choose 4 bowls of noodles for HKD48 which is reasonable as most boat noodles in Hong Kong are around that price.
You get to choose 5 broths and 5 noodles which gives you 25 different choices already!
I love beef broths so chose beef broth as a base and for the noodles they had the usual like egg, Cambodian, Dried Flat Noodles etc but the potato noodles were different so tried that.

My favourite had to be the egg noodles with meatballs as the noodles absorbs the broth nicely.
Finished with a lime soda to round things up!
For the toppings I chose tripe and meats but there are also plenty of other options which are endless!
Will be back again.

Pho-overwhelming at What the Pho

There are now three branches of What the Pho, the one at TKO is always busy so tried this one.
You could smell pho from the door especially the beef broth and herbs.

On the menu, there were so many noodle options.
I'm not a fan of meat balls so just got the plain thinly sliced raw beef noodles.

I was impressed as the beef was lean and fresh while the soup was oil free and clear.
The noodles soaked the broth well and the soup was aromatic so it was a nice bowl of pho.

It is amazing that this restaurant has been here since 2008.
I was around at that time but didn't venture to this end of LCK.
The decor and tables look new so if I didn't read the reviews I would have have thought this restaurant was quite new.

Anyway, it was lunch so had these weird Chinese sets that consist of a noodle with toast.
A strange combo but I was just interested in the noodles but it has to come with crap that I don't eat.
The fishmaw noodles were ok but the sauce was a bit sour because of the Chinese shitaake mushrooms.
There wasn't much gravy and to be precise it was just fishmaw plonked on to the noodles so the noodles were tasteless.

The other set we had:

Although it is difficult to see, it was entertaining to watch something crawl up one of the chairs.
Didn't zoom into it but it was funny as the person sitting on the chair was oblivious to what was going on.
Overall, just another option for lunch but don't expect good service.

I was starstruck by the name Star Zest but not their food.
It was Chinese food which had a modern presentation which made it better.
As I wasn't hungry, I settled for the seafood soup with rice.

The rice was served separate.

The way it was served was impressive as it looked like a huge Italian Arancini.
You are supposed to put the rice in the soup I prefer them separate.
Overall the soup was good on its own and so was the rice.

Spotted this shop on the corner selling salted egg yolk snacks.
There were lots to choose from but the brainless shrimp heads sounded cool.

Quoting from Star Chew's website they claim they carefully remove all the unwanted brain, eyes except for the cheeks which is then deep fried.

Since they were brainless I wasn't sure if they were going to tasty as the best tasting bit in a shrimp is the tomalley.
Anyway, the salted egg yolk taste was prominent and starchy.
I was impressed at the thick crunchy coating.
Overall quite delicious but HKD68 is a bit pricey.

As I was in the area, I spotted this modern branch of HFT which is different from the rest.
It is modern with wooden window frames and glass which lets you see the whole shop.
There is a dine in area by the window.
Tried these crispy egg rolls with Sakura shrimps which are a Taiwanese brand called Hiwalk.
The design of the box looks a bit like sanitary napkins.
Inside there are 4 rolls.
When you open it, there is a prominent crispy sakura shrimp aroma and the rolls are sweet and crispy!
