Shunde delight's headed by Celebrity Chef Ding!

Celebrity Chef  Ding has been rocking the kitchen with his passionate cooking and recipes which are healthy and MSG free.
At Ding's Club, he is collaborating with Chef Lee Cheung and whipping Shunde Cuisine featuring the Shunde feast for six at HK$4,888 which is inclusive of 10% available now until 31st October at this early bird price.

To start off, began with the meaty lobster which was tasty and not tenderized with cornflour so you can truly appreciate the taste of lobster.

Next was the steamed pork and mud carp patty.
Again, you can taste the freshness of the pork, but the mud carp patty was the star of the show as the texture was springy like minced prawn patty and it was boneless which is worth mentioning.
Of all the mud carp patties I have had, they all contain bones and fish scales but this one doesn't.

The next course was soup made of fish and shark fin.
It was creamy yet light with lots of fine pieces of fish in it, again without any msg and artificial thickeners you can really appreciate the taste and the ingredients.

For abalone lovers, the coating for the abalone was thin and crispy with a touch of salt and pepper.

Spotted Scat served in two ways:
Sliced fillet, assorted vegetables.
Having the spotted scat slices with vegetables were tasty as there were many ingredients to go with it.




Steamed fin and head with dried tangerine peel.
The fish was complimented nicely by the tangerine peel and sauce which made you hungrier.


Pan fried chicken fillet, assorted pepper, premium soy sauce.
The chicken fillet was tender and coated with a nice soy sauce glaze, the only complaint would be the bones.

Wintermelon curd filled with matsutake and wild mushrooms:
Before the noodles, had this refreshing vegetable dish of wintermelon topped with mushrooms.


Braised goose fillet on flat rice noodles:
The star of the show had to be the noodles beneath which has absorbed all the goose essence.


Dessert finished with the Double boiled fresh milk custard and taro puree and the Traditional sugar cake.
The milk custard was silky and the taro puree on top was not too sweet without being too starchy.


Overall, I would definitely recommend eating here because of the fresh ingredients they use and they don't use MSG.

Sexy fish lips @ 王林記潮州魚蛋粉麵
2019-10-04  334 瀏覽
Wong Lam Kee has been around for decades.
There was a shop in Shaukeiwan which has moved and now there is another joint in Chaiwan.

The location is a bit off the radar as it is located in the residential area of Chaiwan.

I went there for two things: Fish lips and the Spring onion fishballs.

Not many places or if any serve Fish lips with noodles.
The last time I had it was many years ago for dinner at Linheung house where it was served in gravy as a main dish for dinner.

To be honest, fish lips were a bargain as each piece was big and gelatinous.

The fish belly wasn't so good though, it was just the usual spongy stuff.

The spring onion fishballs were quite good and something different.
 0 讚好


The noodles were just noodles.

Overall, an affordable choice if you are in the area.

This is the second branch of Home Dumplings in the area.
The first branch is near Central with more dumplings to choose from which are on rotation.

At this branch you can only choose the choices on the wall and it wasn't as exciting as my first visit to the other branch as I was faced with so many choices of sauce and different dumplings.

Anyway, tried the dumpling with preserved vegetables.
It was palatable and the preserved vegetables were chunky and salty.
The pork had some weird chewy bits in it which I didn't eat.
Overall, ok but a bit pricey.

Hot Pot land is near K Town.It is spacious with lovely oriental decor.

As well as hotpots, there is happy hour for drinks concocted with Chinese wines and you can even have shisha!

In terms of food, hot pot is obviously the star of the show but I liked the way they had salted egg items like calamari, tofu, potatoes etc.
Tried the salted egg sweetcorn which was quite sweet but sadly I didn't see the salted egg potatoes earlier or I would have had that.
 0 讚好


For the hotpot, had the signature beauty broth which was evidently the best, as it was creamy and nourishing
 0 讚好

To go with the hotpot had purple yam, tripe, vegetables etc.
The thing that made my day was the bottomless rice because if I don't have rice at hotpots I feel damn hungry.

For desserts, finished with Taiwanese herbal jelly and beancurd slush!

This restaurant has been quite successful since it opened.
It strangely had two grand openings but I never tried it because the menu was just not captivating.

Finally tried it out of boredom.

Tried two chicken rice dishes.

Basically served with different sauces.

The chicken was not really fresh and it was chewy.
Also had the lettuce which was shown in this creamy white broth but reality it was bland broth but you could call it healthy.
 0 讚好

The coconut chicken soup sucked as the coconut taste was artificial.

I am not sure how long this drink has been on the menu but when I found out they had Pandan Sago I had to get it.
As well as sago and pandan there were cubes of taro in it.
Every sip was bliss as it had a strong pandan flavour with sago and taro.
The taro was firm but it wasn't hard and starchy.

Looking forward to more pandan and other creative dishes!

For Autumn Pacific Coffee has come up with these captivating drinks made with oat milk hence it is suitable for vegetarians.

As well as oat milk, it contains William Pear and Pearl Barley.

There are two drinks:
-William Pearl Pearl Barley Oat Milk Chillano
-Iced Williams Pear Wheat Germ Oat Milk Latte

I would recommend the oat milk chillano in the blazing hot autumn that doesn't really get cold.
At the bottom are pearl barley pearls which were mind blowing at first as they are perfectly spherical.

After taking a closer look, it turns out that they are pearl barley seeds encapsulated in a gel skin and there is some flavouring in between the barley and gel so it tastes slightly sweet.

The Iced Williams Pear Wheat Germ Oat Milk Latte which I had hot was like your usual latte.
