Fried cheddar and Camembert cheese @ 嵐山料理

I love fried food, so was happy to see one that just specialises in fried take-out snacks.
Luckily I am not affected by sore-throats or any after effects and myths I hear about fried food from the Chinese ppl.

I ordered the fried cheese and prawn; both were covered in cutlet coating.
Next time I will try the fried oyster and banana fritters.
Personally I prefer tempura coating, but cutlet is ok too.

Each item comes with a few pieces of flat cut chips, which lightens out the snack a bit.
The prawn cutlet was ok, however I preferred the cheese. There were two types in the portion, Camembert and Chedder cheese.

Chedder tastes stronger, and Camembert is creamier and oozes out with a sharp taste from the white Camembert rind.

 

Japanese buffet @ 青葉日本料理

Same with all the all you can eat Japanese places, you just tick the colourful sheets and hand it over to the staff.

The range was the basic range, however the drinks were impressive, many choices.

The prawn tempura was the best, and the sushi was good too.

The mini bowls of noodles were cute, and small enough, so that you can try more items.

Fried prawns @ 大飽小包 Ippai

Walked past and saw this new restaurant, so decided to try their food.

It looks like fried food from the outside, not quite clear what sort of food they are serving, so I just got two prawn tempuras, both had a sauce each, so I got a cheese sauce and a curry sauce.

Curry sauce: lacked curry taste, also a bit watery.

Cheese sauce: tasted more like salad cream.

I think, it would be fairer to give comments in a months time when their restaurant is fully functioning. Although for the prawns they could at least de-gut them.

 

 

 

 

Italian rice balls @ Pizzetteria

Ordered the Italian rice ball with the appearance resembling a scotch egg, the order was packed in an aluminium box, a box I had'nt seen for ages.
I was instantly reminded of the indian/chinese takeaways in UK.
However in HK they use the CFC boxes, which also gives the food a slight CFC odour, especially with soup.

Anyway this is my first time trying the Italian rice balls, the rice was mixed with cheese and sundried tomato.

The cheese was strong, not mozzarrella as it did not melt in a stringy mess when it was heated. I would have preferred more cheese, as the whole thing was slightly dry.
The rice was slightly hard too.
Perhaps there was meant to be a sauce to go with it?

Apart from that, I really enjoyed it, and next time I shall try the fried dough with anchovies in it.

Fried bananas and oysters @ 嵐山料理

This is my second visit, and the food is consistently good, last time
i tried the prawns, and fried cheeses.

I came back this time for the fried oyster and banana.

Banana:Presented like a banana fritter drizzled with blackcurrent sauce, the batter was light and thin, and there were 3 pieces in a portion.
The banana itself was naturally sweet, and the blackcurrent sauce was tangy, giving it a good taste combined together.
Before I tried it, I thought the sauce would have been too sweet therefore ruining it, but it turned out better than anticipated.

Oyster:The oyster was covered in cutlet and appeared rather thin, the oysters were fresh and tasted strong, juicy and not mushy at all.

Overall they both tasted good, and the standard has kept, and the oil they used has been changed often, hence not ruining the food.

The four treasures @ 好滋味 Yummy Fast Food

I had the four treasures: fishballs, greenpepper, aubergine and tofu, all stuffed with fish pasted and fried.
The food was not pre-fried, but freshly fried, hence had to wait a few minutes for it.

They tasted OK.

Sweet durian roll and fried ice-cream @ 甜心甜品屋 Honey Well Confectionery

I came here for dessert, the choices of dessert here were not overly exciting, basically the same desserts which could be found at other places. The coconut cake was sold out, but interesting, as the chinese was coconut pie.
I was puzzled why this place is called confectionary in English, because confectionary does not quite correlate to desserts.

I ordered the Sweet durian roll, and fried ice-cream, if I had seen the fried banana on the menu, I would have ordered that.

Sweet durian roll:Tasted better than expected, creamy ripe durian inside the sweet white wrap. The wrap was jelly like. There were clear bits of jelly on top mimicking birds nests, but it wasn’t agar, the texture was more like konjac.

Fried ice-cream: tasted ok, nothing surprising about it, at the least the oil was fresh.
