The best buffet in Tokwawan! 8度餐廳 (土瓜灣)


Summer is not over yet!!!
8 Degrees are doing a summer buffet which I almost missed.




The highlights this time are the freshly cooked mussels in wine!




Foie gras from the live cooking station:







Oysters, lobsters and seafood are always there so don't fret!












The Chinese soup is a must as it is loaded with delicacies with a strong conch taste.



There were lots of English delights as I found items like: cauliflower cheese, mashed potato and cheese, pigs in blankets, Indian curries and bread pudding! Moving on to dessert, they have freshly made durian crepes!







The dessert selection was definitely a delight as they had my favourite pandan cake as well as a lovely spread of Western cakes like strawberry cream cake and their signature mango mille feuille.




Despite the quietness in town at the moment, this place was full which is a sign of good food. Will definitely be back.

Pleasing buffet selection at [Harbour Plaza 8 Degrees]

As an expat, I have always found that buffets lacked a cheese selection as well as Indian Curries.
My recent visit to the buffet at [Harbour Plaza 8 Degrees] surprised me and it didn't cost a bomb during the weekdays from Mon - Thur!!


It only costs HKD478 which is under HKD500 and weekdays are quieter anyway.

The selection definitely impressed me but as a standard oysters and lobsters are a must in Hong Kong and they had that too!!!

Freshly shucked oysters:

Seafood including lobster and Alaskan crab legs:


Foie Gras:

Japanese grill & Sashimi!
As well as grilled prawns and fish, I was surprised to see grilled whelk too.

These were my favourites and I was elated they had so many items that many other buffets don't offer such as palm hearts, butter lettuce, curry and a good cheese selection.

Indian curries complete with mint sauce, chutney and pickles:

Cheese Selection!!!

Brie on Carr's Water Biscuit!!!

A decent carvery with horse radish, mustard and gravy, nearby there was my favourite potato gratin!




Dessert was just as good and they even had my favourite pandan cake, cherry tart and BREAD PUDDING!!
They even had the newest Haagen Daz ice cream flavours.
The bread pudding was just like the ones in UK topped with custard and not overly rich.


Other visually good looking desserts: Jelly fruits, Lavender cheesecake, Rose egg white cake and souffle with birds nest.
 Mango Napolean:
 Souffle with Birds Nest:
 Banana Charlotte:
 Rum Pie:
 Rose Egg White Roll & Lavender Cheesecake:

Part of the stuff I got from the buffet selection: roast beef with butter lettuce, lamb rack, salted egg yolk prawn, palm hearts and lobster in black bean sauce.
Overall, everything was good so you can expect to be stuffed if you go there~

[Macau] Brazilian Carnival fun at FW Rio Grill & Seafood Market

When you take the ferry to Macau, the first thing that can't be missed is Fishermans Wharf.
Fishermans Wharf is like a world of its own with a mini Cape Town, Roman style amphitheater, Shakespearean buildings and Amsterdam narrow houses.
Roman style amphitheater:


Amsterdam style narrow houses:

Shakespearean style buildings:


After taking a walk at each place, I went to the opening of the new FW Rio Grill & Seafood Market restaurant.
It started off with a spectacular Brazilian carnival and Samba Parade which is on everyday until 2nd April 2018 at the following times: 12:30am, 18:00pm & 19:15pm.

You can get the best view of the Macau harbour whilst dining there as both floors are overlooking the harbour.

FW Seafood Market on the ground floor provides cozy dining area and seaside terrace, featuring fresh seafood that allow guests to pick and select the way to be served according to their preferences.

That night, we tried FW Rio Grill on the upper level which offers All you can eat Brazilian BBQ Buffet at attractive prices.

Freshly grilled meats are continuously brought out and served to guests at their table as long as the wooden peg is green on the top while red means your full.
All meats are grilled in this big grill flown over from Brazil.


Picanha:
Beef Rib:

Sausages:

All the grilled meats I have tried were really good especially the pork ribs and the grilled juicy pineapple which must not be missed with all that scrumptious cinnamon sprinkled on.



As well as meat, there was a wide buffet selection with seafood, fine cheeses, hams and a good selection of salads.




I am definitely coming back with friends to chill out.
