The new talk of town

Sanpokong is another thriving area so eateries are trying their luck there as well.
I haven't heard of Master of Charsiu but it was strangely in the conversations of non foodies so decided to check it out.The decor was above average for Chinese food in that area.

On the wall were some piggies if you looked at it closely.

Crockery.
 Not a fan of red bean drink but I was intrigued by the sugar cne straw which is just the same as plastic.
For starters tried the fried pork chop which was crispy but it was still a bit oily.
Also tried the spring onion sandwich which is trending at the moment.
It was very different and had a piece of butter just like the Pineapple buns in Hong Kong.
Now to the star of the show CHARSIU!!

Presentation was fantastic and the roast pork was thinly sliced!
The texture was very different, it was springy with a crunch.
Overall, I felt that it was just another option for food in the area.

Went here as I was in the area, Woologoon used to be at a different location.They are famous for the milk pudding with ginger but I was captivated by the seasonal fresh peach series.
When it came, I was surprised it was really topped with fresh peach.
The peach pieces were crisp and sweet and the peach slush beneath was not too sweet.

I have always wanted to try the Snow Velvet tea at TEA ALLEY but the sweetness is fixed.
Finally tried my luck and it was not to my liking as it too sweet.
Ordered a plain Jasmine tea to dilute the drink and it tasted better.

I love visiting these restaurants that have been here for decades.
There is something special about them.

This Shanghai joint has been in Kwuntong for over 40 years!!
Decor untouched, just how it was when they opened with lots of media clippings.
They do have a Facebook and it has a cute cover with cartoon cats.
Anyway, settled here for the lunch and had two mains with a soup and rice.

The Kungpao chicken also had shrimp and ham with a lovely spicy kick.

Next was the drunken chicken in strong wine.
The chicken that we got was to my liking as there was a lot of white meat and there were not any bones.
 0 讚好

Finished the hot and sour soup last because it was extremely spicy but loaded with tofu and black fungus.

To end the meal, they serve eight treasure tea which had to be the best I have had as it was slightly sweetened with a floral aromatic taste.


Will definitely be back as the other dishes are worth trying.

I haven't been to MK for ages because all they serve is mango and durian in these yellow coloured square bowls.

All that has changed and they have some different desserts that are worth trying.

I was captivated by the Milk custard with sweet fermented rice which was served in a golden bowl.
It was glamorous but the whole thing looked Korean!
It contains sweet fermented rice which exists in both the Koreans and Chinese cuisine.

It was thick and creamy with a faint alcoholic taste but not as sweet as Japanese rice wine.

Next was the steamed egg with milk which friend had.
She said it was smooth and satisfying.

Went here for dinner as I was hungry and they offered steamed fish which is something I wanted to eat.The decor was aqua blue with a modern touch.
The menu:

Ordered meat patties and steamed fish.
The meat patties were damn good as it was lean and there were not any strange chewy bits in it, perfect with rice and it wasn't too salty.

The steamed fish was delicate and fresh so it was just what I wanted.
Overall, very satisfied so I will come back for fish!
The fish gets sold out quickly so be sure to get there early.

[Review 7713] Zero waste shop @ Edgar

Discovered this shop after visiting Basao tea.
Edgar is a zero waste and bulk grocery shop.
This Raspberry roll which costs HKD20 caught my eye!
It looked similar to FIG Rolls but double the size so I decided to try it.

The outer part of the rolls is crumbly with dried raspberry filling that looks similar to the fig filling.
It was not too sweet but there wasn't much filling.
If you are a fan of fig rolls, this is just as good.
