Spare ribs and pickled vegetables @ 上海真美豆漿大王

The spare ribs this time were dry, chewy and fibrous.

 

For the pickled vegetables with fried egg, tried the other one however the taste was really bland, but compared to the other pickled vegetables with meat, there was less oil.

The fried egg was over done this time and the yolk was solid.

Shanghai dumplings @ 上海真美豆漿大王

Soymilk with dumplings:
Same as before, I love this dessert however they are not consistent, sometimes the dumplings are too soft and sometimes they are just right.

Fried luncheon meat, egg and rice:
This was simple but nice, alot of places in Hong Kong just serve luncheon meat, egg with rice, but here you get preserved vegetables with it.

Shanghai dumplings:
The skin was rather thick but it was filled with meat juice inside after it was steamed.
The vinegar looked authentic with the sliced ginger in it.

Beef in five spices with rice:
The beef was quite nice and not too salty.

Glutinous rice with pork floss and pickled veg filling:
NO PHOTO, but I found the rice too dry and the filling too sweet.

Egg Tarts @ T & G bakery

Got some egg tarts, nothing spectacular, just tasted how they should.

Buttery crust, not the flaky type.

Disappearing and weird staff @ 恭和堂

It is not like me to get drinks from this place, but I saw this murky lime coloured drink in one of the five dispensers so went over to see what it was.
I thought it was going to be cane juice but it was lemon and barley.
The rest of the four dispensers where traditional Chinese herb drinks which I do not drink.

Anyway, I ordered a cup of lemon and barley, and one of the assistants got a paper cup and put it it under the dispenser, filled it and left!
I was left wondering if the drink was ready or not!
Then another rude assistant came over to see why I was waiting at the entrance so I passed her the $9 which was the cost of the drink.
All she did was take the $9 and left, she didnt even ask what it was for.
She did not even pass me my drink.

Since I had already paid for the drink, it seemed legal to collect it the cup from the dispenser!

Overall the drink was OK, there was not any taste of any preservatives.
I felt the drink was slightly thick, but perhaps because there was not much left in the dispenser, so it was only residue.

The only let down was the strange service.

Although the customer service was poor, perhaps POLAM town is too urban, the people do not seem to have a concept of OpenRice or food reviews, they were highly suspicious and unfriendly when photos of the surroundings and drinks were taken!
This is probably why there are not any reviews on this place or restaurants around this area which are quite local and do not have branches in the city.
