Trendy Chewing gum chips tea @ T.Pot Bristol

This restaurant is very intriguing, just like Mazter, they are both located in Hang Hau and the posh end of Sai Wan Ho, they both have wacky English names.

潮人飯堂 mean’s “Trendy dining room" in English. However their English name for the restaurant was T.Pot Bristol, nothing near their Chinese meaning.

Although the cuisine is of chiu chow descent, I couldn’t quite correlate it with England, I seemed to interpret the English name as "Tea Pot", and more interestingly there is "Bristol" attached to the name, a place down the south west of England.

There are no hotpots served there, so the name couldn’t possibly mean hot pots, or Bristol Teapots, but Bristol isn’t famous for Chinaware. STRANGE!!!
However the cups were tiny and cute.

Being a so called Trendy place, there were two interesting items, the cheese and condensed milk bun and the chewing gum chips tea.
I didn’t know what the chewing gum chips tea was, so I ordered that, and it turns out to be Jasmine tea so that wasn’t very funky.

The main attraction to the place seems to be the steamed fish at a cheap price on weekdays.
The fish is big and presented in a big glass dish filled with generous fish soup and herbs.

Apart from that, they served all day dim sum.

Ordered the Fried foie gras dimsum, noodles in Chiu chow style, cheese and custard bun, vegetarian sharks fin soup and the steamed fish.

Fried Foie Gras:
This was totally not what I was expecting, there was no liver inside, but fruit salad!
