Got the tandoori chicken leg and it was delicous, the herbs and spices were strong and the chicken was moist.
Although those vegetables were only decorative they smelt really nice when I opened the box especially the purple onions and coriander.

Chicken mo mo is the star @ 2star's Fast Food
Food was great on my first visit so decided to go again.
Went two times after my first visit, one was takeaway and the other was dine in.
For takeaway it takes ages so I dined there the third time because it was quicker.
Ordered my favourite chicken thukpa noodles, chicken mo mo and chicken tandoori leg set
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
chicken thukpa
The noodles were different from my first visit and there was less mustard greens in the soup so it was not so bitter.
I am not sure which noodles are more authentic but I preferred the noodles and soup on my first visit.
The noodles this time was foamy and had an alkaline taste.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
chicken mo mo
On my first visit I tried the pork mo mo but this time I tried the chicken mo mo.
I preferred the chicken because all the Chinese dumplings are made with pork.
There was lots of purple onions inside and their chili sauce made it delicious.
I do not know what is in that chili sauce but it tastes like the chili sauce in UK's Perfect fried Chicken shop owned by Asians there.
I tried to draw a star in the middle of the plate using the sauce but as it was too watery it failed and I only managed to get a blob with a slight star resemblance.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
chicken tandoori leg set
The set comes with soup, rice, spiced courgettes and a side of Shanghai greens.
The chicken was tender and full of spices, it tasted as good as the one at Pakora
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lentil soup
The soup is always good there and full of spices.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Next time I will just order the chicken mo mo and the tandoori leg set again.

Super star Nepalese Mo Mo, Thukpa and Chaumin
Although this place is called 2star's, it is worth more Stars in my opinion.
I have never tried Nepalese food but there is one in Central which is up the hill and there is another one there by in Wan Chai however that shop does not look so welcoming.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2star's stood out behinds the stalls and its red colour design reminded me of Pakora that used to be located in Causeway Bay which also had the delicious Tandoori Chicken leg.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Apart from Nepalese food there was also Philipino style fried fish and Indian dishes, but as I havent tried Nepalese food I ordered the Nepalese dumplings, soup noodles, and fried noodles and an Indian curry.
The only disadvantage is that there is no air conditioning, so it is a real torture in the summer.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Nepalese dumplings
In Nepalese they are called Mo Mo and there are two shapes in Nepal, one that looks the same as Shanghai dumplings and the other looks like steamed Potstickers.
The ones that were served here looked like Potstickers.
There were three different MoMo's: Chicken, pork or Vegetarian and I chose the Pork.
Inside the MoMo it was quite similar to the Chinese ones except that they have purple onions inside and not chives.
The purple onions gave it a really nice flavour.
These dumplings are served with soy sauce and spicy sauce (corner of the picture) which is watery and made of pureed chilis and other spices which is extremely hot!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Chicken soup noodles:
As I have not tried Nepalese noodles before I did not know what they would look like but they really surprised me.
The noodles are similar to the Chinese thick noodles which become soft when they absorb the broth.
Although the noodles look simple, it was delicious. It was plain chicken broth with generous chopped mustard greens, coriander and purple onions and some chicken.
The mustard greens had this lovely bitterness that made the soup bitter and I really liked it.
Anyway the presentation of these noodles look like those noodles served in Mun Nam but the soup here is not so thick.
I really loved it because there was lots of finely chopped mustard greens and the strong taste of the mustard green in the soup.
In Nepalese it is called Thukpa
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Stir fried noodles
The noodles here were the same type as above but stir-fried and it looked and tasted like the Chinese style.
In Nepalese it is called Chaumin.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Indian lamb curry
Apart from lamb curry there was also other vegetables that were nice and the soup was really nice.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Soup
The soup was wholesome and there were some spices and pulses.
