[杜老誌大飯店 Tonnochy Food & Beverage] A scene from the past

While everything is modernized, some shops and restaurants are trying to take diners back in time. 
At Tonnochy Food & Beverage they did just that, when you go in you will find old restaurants, clubs and stores there. Since I wasn't raised here it was hard to relate to it but for the elderly they might see it as nothing exciting but it appeals to the generation now who slowly saw it fade away.

It looked like a mini movie set which could be improved. I appreciate the details but I felt that tables outside the shops were a bit strange so if they made the floor like a road or pavement then it would look like the restaurants at Temple Market.







There is a video games room which is also a dining room.

For food we had the roasted pigeon which is a popular Hong Kong thing which I don't know why but anyway it was bit dry.

Also had the stinky tofu which I liked but the stinkyness was not strong enough.

When the ribs arrived, I thought they looked like Sweet and Sour but there was a difference in taste. The Kyoto ribs are worth ordering as you get proper ribs here and they all have a fair bit of meat on them.

For mains, tried the aubergine and salted fish casserole. The saltiness was there but it lacked salted fish aroma and taste.

Last but not least, the vegetables was our favourite as the greens were tender and there was lots of salted egg and preserved egg in it.

Finished with the baked pineapple sago which is an exclusive here. You will find it quite different to the usual baked sago as it has a puff pastry top and there is a layer of pineapple puree in the middle. Overall quite good but the sago was too soft.

Overall, it was great dining here so if I am in MK I hope to try the Ladies Market restaurant which is similar to this.
