Nice Chopsticks

Restaurants always come and go on this stretch of CWB.Anyway, I was in the area again as there is a nice dessert place nearby so went here for food before.
This cozy joint serves Taiwanese food.

The choice of drinks was interesting as they had Thai Milk Tea!

For mains, had the salted shredded chicken with marinated pork, vegetables and rice etc.
It was big and filling .

The pork they serve are cubes of pork belly and not mince.

The sausages were the star of the show because they were crisp with pieces of mountain yam in the middle so it was nicer and tasted different to other Taiwanese style sausages.
The bittermelon soup was disappointing as it just had a strong white pepper taste.

The popcorn chicken was ok but a bit sweet.

The sha cha basil chicken wings had no basil taste at all.

Overall very filling and I loved the disposable chopsticks.

Not Tai Cheong egg tarts but food
2019-09-09  106 瀏覽
Tai Cheong Bakery is just a bakery known for egg tarts and their Japanese inspired cheesecakes.

All of their shops are just bakeries but a few serve simple cha chaan teng style food.

This branch along with the one at TKO serves simple dishes like fried egg with rice, sandwiches etc.
Went here and had the fried egg with luncheon meat with curry sauce.
When it came they forgot to give the curry sauce so requested for it.
The curry sauce is evidently microwaved as the bowl is scorching  and the surface of the curry sauce has fine bubbles and and a solid layer.

What took the piss was the luncheon meat, the menu says THICKLY SLICED and how thick was it???!!!!
Apart from that, it was all delicious.
The lady suggested that curry sauce does not go well with it but it tasted much better than the thick saliva sweet soy sauce that was given.
Will be back if I am in the area again or possibly try the other restaurant branches.

McDs and McCafe used to be at CWB Plaza but now they have moved to the basement.It has been here for a while but strangely not listed, anyway came here for the new pineapple cheese drink and they had the crayfish ciabatta so tried that.
The pineapple cheese was basically pineapple slush with a cheese cap.
It was ok but I have tasted better ones, however it does taste better towards the end because of the cheese cap which doesn't taste of cheese at all but I like its creaminess.
The crayfish ciabatta was surprisingly good as it was toasted just right and the filling was delicious with egg, cheese and crayfish.
Overall quite satisfied.

HM is spreading everywhere like wildfire!I wish they would debut in UK as well but I wonder how the musubis would taste during the freezing cold weather.
Now they have just opened at Fortress Hill.

Got the new September musubi and sidedish.

The chestnut one was delicious with pieces of chestnut and you can taste the soy sauce in it as well as the hint of spiciness.

Okra is another one of my favourite veggies, this time it was mixed with light yuzu gravy and pieces of chicken.

It was really good because the yuzu wasn't sweet as you would expect so it was to my liking.
Also tried the new yuzu chicken musubi by HM but I wasn't fond of it as it was slightly sweet.

Apart from the coffees, I love the way this place is set out with lots of privacy.
It is a great place to hang out so is the other branch at Elements.

There were so many coffees to choose from and the Wellington Flat White seemed fancy so ordered that.
It was quite bitter so a lot of sugar is required if you want it sweeter.
Overall a nice place to sip your coffee slowly.

I have always wanted to try Basao Tea on Moon Street and now they have another branch coming to CWB.
They offer nitro teas which are unsweetened but as I have already tried it at another tea joint I had the tea crystals which is basically tea jelly.
The cubes of tea jelly are dusted with tea dust which makes it more fancy.
Overall, the cubes of tea jelly were quite nice and not too sweet but I would have liked the tea taste to be stronger.

Hidden Taiwanese dessert joint in KT
2019-09-05  523 瀏覽
Discovered this joint because I was eating nearby and visiting the cute stationery shop next to it.

At first I thought it was a Taiwanese dessert shop but they also do Chinese lunches where you get to pick two or three dishes with rice.

I was actually there for dessert but as I haven't had lunch I decided to try the food as well.
They had Taiwanese mince, chicken and spare ribs.

Went for the Taiwanese spare ribs which turned out looking like thin pork chops that came out of the microwave.
The colour was dark and not that convincing either.
Although the presentation was rough, it tasted quite nice and you could taste Chinese wine in it.
The pork chop was moist in the middle and slightly dry on the edges.

The star of the show turned out to be a disaster as I ordered the wrong thing.
I wanted the grass jelly but it turned out like that.
Although dessert was a disaster, I was glad I tried the pork chops!
