Great food but not hygienic

Fook Luk Sau Vegetarian Restaurant (Central)

This vegetarian restaurant is really nice and serves great tasting vegetarian food.
However this will be my last visit because I saw this woman wipe her bare feet with towels and then continued to clear tables and wipe tables without washing her hands.

Vegetable fried rice with ketchup:


The fried rice tastes better than the meat version and the tomato ketchup that they use is tangy and sweet without a weird aftertaste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fried vegetable and mashed potato in beancurd skin:
酥炸薯蓉南瓜卷


It was interesting how they used the beancurd skin as a wrap and filled it with potatoes and vegetables.
There was not much vegetables in it so it was mainly potato which made it taste like a delicious potato croquette.

Stir fried watercress:

The watercress was too stringy and old with a strong grassy taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Scrambled egg with bittermelon:



The scrambled egg was simple but it was nicely done and not too oily with a strong fragrant egg taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Roast suckling pig:
鴻運素乳豬

The roast suckling pig is the best item in this restaurant because it is crispy just like the real thing coated in a sweet smoky sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken wings:


The chicken wings were realistic but the taste was a bit rubbery.

Pat Chun -Mouldy- Foods

Pat Chun Fine Foods (Central)

Walked past and saw some interesting Venison tendon dessert which is made with their famous sweetened vinegar.



The attitude of the staff were not that friendly when I went in to purchase it.

Luckily I took photos before I ate otherwise I would not have spotted the mould on the edges.





Took it back and told them about the mould but they didn't really give a shxt.
They were nice enough to give a refund without saying anything or bothering to inspect the mould because ironically there is a 7-day guaranteed goods exchange printed on the receipt.


There was another case of mould in January, 2012 reviewed by 瞟客

八珍糕品QC不夠認真
13-Jan 以＄120買了一底紅豆糕，盒上註明期限至 20-Jan（=七天）。
回家即放雪櫃，隔一天拿出來吃，見糕面已出現白點（=發霉）。shocked
抹去白點後試吃，酸的！mad 家人都說是裡面的奶份變了質。
紅豆糕賣這價錢不便宜，應該做好些品檢啊！ huffy
發誓今後不再買八珍紅豆糕！
不過他們售＄155 的蘿蔔糕依然很好味。
之前也試過一次（幸好祇一次），買了很硬很深色的蘿蔔糕，極難吃！
證明他們QC不夠認真，顧客要睹運氣！
祝大家好運！

Too salty with insect legs!

Went to Tsim Chai Kee's because it is quite famous for noodles according to the locals.
it is located next to the police station down the basement.


Ordered the noodles with wontons and beef.


The beef was chewy and heavily covered in flour/soda.
The wontons were big but extremely salty and the soup was salty as well.
Anyway, I think I am unlucky with Chinese food as you can see.

Still needs improving a year later @ Kung Fu Dim Sum

Kung Fu Dim Sum (North Point)
Since my last visit in September I never intended to go to Kung Fu again until a recent tasting at the TST branch, the food was great there so I decided to come back for the food I tried at the TST branch.
Thinking it was the same group, the food would be the same, but the food was better at TST.
The fly that was there in September probably died because its lifespan is only a month, but on this visit, there was still a fly there, probably its nth generation

Glutinous rice balls with pork:
They looked promising because the crust was not too yellow or brown.
The only problem was the glutinous exterior was really thick, it was at least 14mm thick just like a huge Chinese style sweet dumpling with savory filling.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken feet in abalone sauce:
The chicken feet were good if I have not tried them before, because at this branch it was slightly dry and stickier.
The peanuts were really nice though, they were soft and tasted like soy beans.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken and sliced abalone with red rice in lotus leaf:

The rice was quite good but the sliced abalone was quite dry and dehydrated.
It would have been helpful if they served it in a shallow dish because it was hard eating it from a plate without making a mess.
It should have been served in the same way as the TST branch.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Overall, I would recommend the TST branch if you want to try this place.

Fried treasures @ Yummy Yummy Cafe

I went to this snack shop because it looked clean and modern but its hygiene can shock you!

 

 

 

I was going to get the grilled chicken skewers but before I ordered I saw the lady who was grilling them accidentally dropped one on the floor and she did not discard that skewer but she wiped it and put it back on the grill!

So I got the fried snacks instead.

 

However they were cold!

 

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fried fishballs:
These were delicious and boneless, however they were cold and the msg in it was heavy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fried red sausages:
These were cold too and the sausages were too chewy.
