European breakfast @ Tsui Wah Restaurant

I don't know why, but I always think the food at TW is over priced.
Anyway I tried their breakfast which costs $35.

 

As I do not drink the Chinese style Milk tea it was pointless getting the noodle set, so I opted for the European breakfast because it comes with orange juice.

 

 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Orange Juice:
It was sweetened orange juice and it seems to be the Tropicana brand.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
European breakfast:
Egg:
It was tasteless and needed condiments, it tasted like McDonalds scrambled egg.
I was really disappointed with the egg because other places such as fairwood the egg tastes nice without salt.
Baked beans:
Just the usual baked beans but definately not the Heinz brand.
Fish cutlet:
The fish was nice and tender however it was slighty over fried.
Pumpkin:
The pumpkin was not soft enough and sweet. It was really weird having pumpkin for breakfast!
Crispy bun:
This was something I liked because the bun was not sweet and it was buttered.
Sauce:
I thought it was salad cream but it turned out to be Japanese mayonnaise which saved the tasteless egg.

Fried fish @ Quezon

Not sure what fish this is but it was delicious, all the bones were mostly taken out.
All of it was edible and it tasted tangy because it had been soaked in vinegar.

Fish Pop @ KFC

Normally you would come to KFC for chicken, but today I came here for fish!

Little pieces of fish coated in crunchy flour, tasted just like chicken, but juicier.
Just like their other recipes, thirstiness is expected from the MSG in the coating.

 

 

King parrot does the job @ 香辣屋 Chilli n Spice

Chilli n Spice is a subsidiary of the King Parrot group, the restaurants I have tried from King Parrot group are ok, so this one was ok too.

Ordered the set, which includes soup, starters, rice and a choice of two mains and dessert.

Crabmeat and sweetcorn soup:
Slightly different to what I expected, the soup had lots of onions, and it tasted like watery A La King sauce, I think ingredients were a bit weird together, onions and sweetcorns.
The crabmeat was not cooked together with the soup, but topped on the surface of the soup as a final touch, so don’t expect a lot of crab meat.

Starters:
Chicken satay was skewered with thigh meat, so it was tender, the peanut sauce was slightly sweet.
Crunchy garlic butter chicken wings, were crunchy as stated, however the garlic wasn’t that strong, the butter was just right, not sickly and oily as the famous vietnamese one in Causeway bay.

Katong beef: Strong in coconut and lemongrass flavour, but not spicy at all.

Steamed fish with sauce: the fish was rather big, so the fish was slightly coarse. It was scaled properly, so you only need to watch out for the bones.

Red bean dessert and coffee dessert, both these were agar based, and I am not a keen fan for these, I just found it too sweet.

If the dishes arrived in order such as starters then the mains, then it would be better, as the fish arrived first.

pan fried dover sole with Maggie sauce @ 撈麵王

I first noticed this shop when I saw their shop name meaning King of noodles in sauce, so got a leaflet but was not tempted to pay a visit, because the noodles are just the same ones and choice from other noodle joints, and the topping are also the same such as beef brisket, pork liver, chicken wings, fish balls, ham etc, nothing special which I hadn’t tried before.

The appearance of the shop is not attractive at all, but the staff looked a bit out of place, prettier and neater than the shop, in fact I felt they looked a bit like office people, the one that takes the order.
The shop is very small, and it was quite cute there was one table behind the counter, with only one customer eating inside!
There were also some interesting bottled sauces on the table, but couldnt see what they were, but not the commen ones.

I ordered the pan fried dover sole with Maggie sauce, it literally is what it is, pieces of dover sole and a separate bag of Maggie sauce. A bit different to what I thought it was, especially when you compare it to the Maggie steak at Sun Chu Koon.

The portion of fish was big, more than the portion of rice, I think the fish portion was one whole doversole in the box. The rice was a little too hard, and the fish was too soft from the marinade. Although it was frozen fish, but acceptable to have it once in a while.

The meal also came with a drink, a bonus to the locals as they have bottled soy milk and Common selfheal fruit spike.

golden pan fried fish with herbs @ Carnegies

Apart from the lovely pasta I had, this time I tried fish, golden pan fried fish with herbs on top.

A light lunch for people who do not want to eat much, consisting of balanced vegetables.

You can choose a three course or four course depending on if you want the dessert, the meal includes tea or coffee.

Steamed fish @ 漁灣村 Fishing Bay

This time tried their dinner set with a choice of two dishes with rice and soup.

The soup was a pot of herbal soup with lumps of pork and chinese herbs, didnt know what chinese soup it was, but it smelt like and tasted of savory coffee.

Each grain of rice was distinct and not too hard or soft.

The chicken in "three cups sauce" was basically stir fried with onion, the onions were caramelised and sweet by the soy sauce (Swiss chicken wing sauce), the chicken tasted really nice, but the only complaint was the chicken was chopped up bone parts with sharp bits of bone ready to pierce your mouth.

I don't know what with chinese cuisine, they just serve bones and called it chicken, even the spare ribs, there is no meat on them.

Lastly the fish was quite good, not overcooked.

Noodles made of fish @ 新樂園魚蛋麵餐廳

The menu was basic, it doesnt offer much, the noodles available were only ho fun, vermicelli and fish noodles.

As there was not much to choose, I chose the noodles made of fish.
It is basically fish balls in noodle form, but more flour in the process of making it.

The noodles had flour covering it, so it was a bit slimey.
It tasted like fishballs with strong MSG, and there were not many brittle bones in it, which was good.
The soup which claims to be cooked with fish bones, didnt taste that good, it was just strong MSG.
