Discovered this on the way to K11Musea.
Grabbed a musubi and some vegetables.
The musubi was salmon with seaweed.
It contains brown rice so there is a nice firm chewy texture.
I don't know why but the salmon was quite fishy.
Next was the veggies with clams and garlic which I found quite salty.
Overall very satisfied because I love carbs and veggies.
Anyway, there is also a Tens Musubi at K11Musea.

Finally tried this as I was in the area.As well as SPK, they now have another branch in Tai Koo.
On the menu, the drinks are divided in different categories.
Teas with a nutty foam, Nut teas etc.
I chose the Nutmylk with taro as I wanted to try the nutmylk.
The taste was how I expected and similar to 137 degrees nut drinks.

I think I made the wrong choice as the earl grey with the thick cream cap would have been better but then you don't really get to taste the nut milk in that drink.

Occasionally there are some good tea sets at Yoshinoya but the main menu is stupid because it doesn't show them.
Saw it on the digital display which changes quickly so had to wait ages before it showed that particular set again.
Got the minced beef with rice vermicelli.
The mince has obviously been sitting there for a quite a while as you can see the dark dehydrated bit which they haven't bothered to mix before serving.
The fried chicken was not edible because it was hard and dry but luckily the main thing was good.
The rice vermicelli was thin and tasted like the CHEWY (chiulik) brand with water that was included as they didn't drain the noodles properly.

Overall satisfied and they also serve green tea Swiss rolls which is not a Yoshinoya Brand.

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.

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.

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.
