Sparkling clean cutlery @ 筷子記 Chopsticks

This was one of my priorities to try out, noodles in sauce.

Went here on a sunday afternoon to avoid the crowd, and ordered instant noodles with satay sauce, and two other snacks to go with it: fried tofu skin and fish rolls with abalone filling. Also ordered two more snacks to go with it, spicy egg and beancurd fish roll.

The spicy egg turned out to be fried egg with curry powder, and the crunchy beancurd skin with fish meat was crispy and tasty.
The noodle was my favourite too, with lots of satay sauce, but next time I think thin noodles would taste better, as the instant noodles have a slight sweet taste to it.

When I was served by drink, I was amazed at the plastic glass cup, it was so clean it looked like brand new, the sides of the glass was shiny, and it was so clean, that droplets could form on the side of the glass shown on the picture.

Even their chopsticks were clean, there was no stickyness on the chopsticks like the other cafes, they were so clean, I took the other chopsticks out to examine, and all of them were just as clean as each other and shiny too!

On leaving the restaurant, I obtained their take-away menu, and even the menu was printed on good quality laminated card, unlike the other single sided menus.

 

A taste of Macau in Central @ Chopsticks 筷子記

Chopsticks Kee serve noodles a bit like the car noodle style, pick the items you want with the noodles, and the noodles have thick gravy sauce rather than soup.

The sauces they serve are tomato, onion, oyster and sa cha, so tried the sa cha an the tomato, both sauces were too sweet, the items that came with it were the standard fishball, although some were slightly different, such as the abalone fish rolls and the fried bean curd rolls.

The metal plate they used was also interesting, old hong kong style.

Macau crispy buns with various of fillings @ Macau restaurant

Not really a fan of food served in restaurants Chinese style.

Macau restaurant is basically like a Chinese restaurant serving Macau style food, but I felt it was quite similar to Chinese, especially the curries, crabs, baked rice and the pricing was expensive for that style of restaurant where you need to share tables with others.

Anyway, I only tried the crispy buns, there were lots of different ones to try, from kaya to curried tuna.

I tried the one with peanut butter and condensed milk and the curry.

I forgot to ask them to leave out the butter, so I got a slab of butter on top.

I always find that weird, the slab of butter on crispy buns and pineapple buns.

Overall, the crispy bun was well done, the crust was crispy, and the inside was soft.
For the peanut butter it was coarse peanut butter, and you can see the pieces of peanut.

The savoury one tasted better, the fish was not too dry, but the curry was quite spicy.

Next time I would like to try plain kaya, without butter.
