Hung's Delicacies (North Point)
Thanks to LT and the restaurant for this wonderful meal.

Hung's Delicacies is really famous and there are always crowds of people outside the shop before and during their opening hours.

Today, I tried some really delicious items which I did not know about before.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken tendons in sesame sauce:
They had two versions of this, one in sesame sauce and the other in wasabi sauce.
This was everyone's favourite because it did not have a mustard kick.
Although there are red pieces that look like chili, they were actually pieces of red peppers.
It was just tendons and some soft bones which gave it a nice crunch in delicious sesame sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Choi lan style noodles:
These noodles are tossed in pork oil with soy sauce, ginger and spring onions which is how Choi lan likes to eat it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Although this one was not as nice as the sesame sauce one, I could not help myself from eating this too because I loved the texture of the chicken tendons and the mustard sauce was ok for me.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Duck chins:
This was interesting because I have not tried it before and it had a nice sesame and spicy taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Signature noodles:
These noodles are their signature noodles which are tossed in XO sauce with bean shoots and spring onions.
I liked these noodles because they are the thin type and it was fully flavoured and slightly spicy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Duck tongues in wine:
These are the best duck tongues in wine I have ever tasted because they were soft and gelatinous and it came of the soft bones easily.
The wine had soaked right through the tongue giving an even wine flavouring all the way through.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cucumber in garlic sauce:
A simple but delicious dish and each piece of cucumber was deliciously flavoured with garlic sauce and was not too salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beef in abalone sauce:
The photo looks like a dish of fish maw but it was actually beef with delicious membrane attached.
The membrane was gelatinous just like fish maw and with the abalone sauce the taste was amazing just like eating fish maw in abalone sauce with some meat attached.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Ducks mid joint wings:
Again another delicious delicacy, the wings were fully flavoured with their signature sauce.
The delicate meat in between the bone and the skin was flavoured too.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Vegetarian mix in red beancurd sauce:

The dish was wholesome and hearty with a good balance of chinese cabbage, tofu, and gingko nuts.
It was sweet with a fragrant red beancurd taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

I can't wait to dine there again now that I know what to order.

Coffee+lover = Lucky four leaf CLover

Clover Cake & Coffee House (North Point)

This coffee house has been opened for a few years but since I am not a coffee drinker I never went in.


The earlier choice of cakes they had did not attract me until the recent reviews when I saw the Green tea latte which is said to taste better than the Green tea latte at Sinmei's.

I finally went there just to try the green tea latte and noticed this cake called the Haru so I tried that as well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Haru:

This was green tea, earl grey and blackcurrant with a macaron on top.
The cake was very sweet so pairing it with green tea latte was not that good.
Next time I should order tea with it.
The green tea layer and earl grey tasted really nice because it was a nice combination of earl grey and green tea together.
The blackcurrant layer on top ruined it because it was too sweet and the taste was so strong that it demolished the green tea and earl grey taste.
I was surprised with the macaron because it was filled with jam.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Green tea latte:

I tried this before eating the cake and luckily I did because the cake was sweeter than the drink.
So after I ate the cake, the latte tasted milky and the taste was not as nice as before trying the cake.
Overall the green tea latte was quite nice but the temperature of the latte was not hot enough.

Trying my luck again with the runny egg with wine @ 壹碗麵

SHOP : YAT WOON MIN
After dining here two years ago I decided to try my luck again with the egg with runny centre with wine.

 

On my last visit, it was not runny and the Chef admitted that, so this time I was hoping it would be runny just like photographs in the other reviews.
As well as that there were other new items to try such as the Chinese radish in soup and the ox tripe with squid.

 

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Egg with runny centre with wine:
When it came, I was really impressed because there was a generous amount of wine compared to my last visit.
This time I could drink it as well as having sufficient amount of wine with the eggs.

 

The egg white was slightly cracked so I was really hoping the yolk was still runny!!

 

I know the egg white and egg yolk were meant to be eaten together, but I ate the egg white first because I wanted to see if the yolk would burst by eating it like that.

 

Obviously it didnt, so the yolk was not as runny as it should have been.
I was able to detach the yolk completely from the egg white.

 

This time the yolk was runnier than my first visit only 20% of the yolk was hard boiled which is the bottom part of the yolk that you can't see.
Anyway, it was delicious and I will be back for another one and eat it the proper way.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Ox tripe with squid:
Although this was simple blanched ox tripe and squid that was not seasoned before hand, I liked it because it was clean.

 

When it was served there was simple soy sauce, spring onions and sesame on it which tasted nice but after adding the sauce as instructed it tasted really nice, especially the tripes.

 

I really liked the way the tripes had been sliced thinly so it is more manageable to eat. The ox tripe had been cleaned thoroughly there was no smell. The squid was slightly chewy though.
You can actually get these from street stalls but since I get food poisoning easily I generally avoid it even though it is considerably cheaper.

Seaweed noodles @ Hong Kong Canteen

If these noodles were not spicy, I would definately try it!!

I think the name said seaweed noodles anyway.

For the other afternoon tea sets I was quite surprised the choices were  not Hong Kong style for a HK style restaurant, but they were Taiwanese and Korean instead!

♡Did Chutney Mary go East from East London?♡

The name Chutney Mary just sounded so British for some reason so I made up my mind to go and try it.
I googled Chutney Mary and indeed there were lots of branches in UK, Australia, Singapore and the US.
However I was not sure if this branch is related to the other ones.

 

Anyway got there and it was quite a small joint.

Ordered chicken tikka and lamb kebab
For both dishes the portion of rice was huge and unfinishable!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

 

Chicken tikka with curry sauce and rice
The chicken was tender and the curry sauce that came with it was very spicy.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

Lamb seekb kebab with curry sauce and rice
The lamb was nicer than the chicken, the texture was strange like pate and velvety.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I wished I had looked at the other menu because there was more choice such as fish and vegetarian curries such as sag aloo and palak paneer.
