Cheese Omelette and chips @ Carnegies

The menu here is catered for Westerners and Asians because for lunch there are a few choices, one is always Chinesey and the others are Western.

I saw the Omelette so that was what I was here for.

Salad:
The salad that day was quite Asian too, it was grated sweet ginger sauce which tasted qutie nice with the mesclan leaves.
The ginger sauce was not that hot.

Cheese omelette:
This was delicious, the egg smelt really nice, in the middle it was filled with cheese.
It would have been great if they used cheddar cheese because the cheese was not strong enough.
The fries were delicious and there is a choice of normal fries or the shoestring type.

Braised beef and potato:
I am not a fan of Chinese food but I liked the potatoes and gravy. The gravy was quite gingery too.

Omelette @ Quezon

Again Philippino food is amazing they have so much variety and something different everytime I go.
This time I tried an omelette which is really different from Western omlettes, it is moist inside and I think it has aubergines according to Philipino recipes.
It has a grilled surface which looks burnt but actually it tastes ok.

Oyster omlette @ Ma Thai

Finally there is some real Asian cuisine in Hang Hau, a suburb part of the Hong Kong offering Malaysian/Thai food.

Originally wanted to try their Laksa and Buk Ku Teh, but I gathered I could try these later as a quick dinner in the future.

There is a wide yet limited range on the menu, a wide selection, but not all available, most probably due to the location, the people in the suburbs will probably choose the basic and ordinary dishes known to them, rather than adventuring on specialised dishes.

Anyway we ordered the dinner for two, which includes a starter platter, soup, choice of 2 mains courses with rice or roti.

Our choices were as follows:
Starter platter
Soup
Scrambled egg with baby oysters
Hainanese chicken
2 x Rices

Some of the staff were quite efficient and ready to explain their dishes and some were just doing their job.

Anyway first to arrive was the Scrambled egg with oysters, very fragrant, and lots of oysters in it. There was a dish of chilli sauce accompanying it too, which went well together, and tasted like the Big elephant brand chilli sauce.

I scoffed the egg with rice as I was hungry, but the order of the dishes arriving was a bit messed up, after stuffing myself with that, I was a little bit full.
I would have preferred to have the appetiser first, which would be more appetising, but the order of the dishes arriving were:
Scrambled eggs with oysters, soup, rice, starter platter and then the chicken.

The soup was placed on top of those artificial heaters, and it was scary, because the little burner kept making crackling and exploding noises, so I sat well away from it.
There were two choices of soup, Tom Yum and Seafood, so I got the seafood, which tasted strong of seaweed.

The starter platter contained thai style chicken feet, crispy roll, prawn cake, and fish cake.
The chicken feet were quite spicy, the prawn cake tasted ok, and the fish cake, I never like due to the herbs in it.

The Hainanese chicken was slightly dry, and the sauces were not as good as other places.

As well as our table, it seemed the scrambled egg with oysters was a popular pick, they were serving many tables with this dish.

But for two people, it was a bit too much, or it may have been just right, if the order of food arrived accordingly. It included a dessert too, which tasted of coconut, and a chewy texture like the chinese desserts. All that food for $202.
Very scary, exploding/crackling noises

Oyster omlette and new packaging @ 阿土麵線

Saw the new oyster omlette, so ordered that, basically it was oyster omlette covered in tomato sauce.

The omlette, or should i say slime-lette had that same slime/gunge I found in the taiwanese noodles I wrote about earlier:

Being an omlette, I could not see much egg in it!!
It didnt even taste like an omlette, all i could taste was slimy flour and oyster!!
But after asking some people who are more experienced in Taiwanese food, the slime is a common element in the Taiwanese style omlette.

The new packaging is good though!!
