The best collection at Tsui Wah Cafe [翠華冰廳]

Tsui Wah Cafe is a new concept that combines the best of the East with the West for Hong Kong style dishes.
It is located in Tsuen Wan with a spacious dining area.

I love the logo which has a cute Chinese dragon and a lion which reminds me of a football team.




At every table, there is a QR code so you can order via mobile.

Moving on to the dishes, I liked the way the menu has incorporated GP6D friendly dishes and plant based dishes for people with different dietary requirements.
Lets begin with the noodles which uses their signature famous fish soup that everyone should be familiar with.
The difference here is that the rice vermicelli they use is a curly one which absorbs and hangs the broth better.



Next is their signature Kagoshima style pork cartilage served in a modern way in a bun!



For people who can eat really spicy food, the spicy corned beef and egg submarine will really shock your palette with its addictive Sichuan numbing and fiery spices!!!!!




Moving on to the vegetarian dishes, they had the beyond burger with scrambled egg with beyond meat and Vegan cheezy cheese.







My new favourite had to be the minced omnipork with fried egg over rice.




For kids, there is a cute kids meal with a gift!




To finish off, there is Hong Kong style milk tea with a twist with milk pudding at the bottom.

Lovingly made in Hong Kong by [Little Farmer]

I was attracted by the restaurant decor because it gave me the impression they were serving healthy dinners.
The decor was relaxing and made you feel at home.


There was a lot to offer on the menu and the prices were very friendly.
What I appreciate is that they use locally farmed poultry, Black Iberian pigs to local organic vegetables.


Each dish on the menu is inspired by Chinese phrases which portrays the way people communicate and behave in Hong Kong.


Started with fresh juices that cost $18 per glass where no sweeteners are added. There was papaya pumpkin, Jackfruit, red dragon fruit and pumpkin, lemongrass and lime barley water and longan water. The combinations were good and healthy.

For mains, the star of the show are the noodles which come in a rich chicken broth infused with Chinese ham or Miso broth made with Iberican Pig Bones. Both broths were strong and MSG free. The set which a drink and dish only costs $68.

As well as noodles, there is healthy mixed grain rice to choose and here is the meat free option with mushrooms as a main dish.

The pork and ginger was cooked in ginger juice so it had that appetizing ginger fieriness.

Last but not least was the spare ribs which are set alight in front of you. It was sweet and sticky like perfectly roast charsiu.


Definitely coming back for more noodles because I like broths. Next time I will try the mushroom noodles.

Tsuen Wan's famous ramen joint : Ramen Taifu

Reformatted my phone by accident hence the small pictures because I was only able to retrieve them partially by getting a screen cap of the thumbnails.


Before the doors opened, there was already a queue.

Managed to get a seat in the corner and the staff were really friendly.
As the joint is quite small, they have a hook for your bags and they push your stool seats into the tiny bar tables.

For ramen, I tried the pork broth with fish which was really nice and the ramen was tasty because it hung the thick broth well.
On the side, there was fish powder which you gradually add in to get a stronger fish flavour.
There was so much ramen in the standard bowl so if your not a big eater you can ask for less.

Tsuen Wan's Icecream Brothers

Wandered into this mall because my friend needed the loo.

So while I was waiting, I had the tofu icecream.





The icecream was really hard and the spoon could have been bigger.
However the icecream did have a strong soybean taste.
The menu is in English, Indonesian as well as Filipino.

Thai style milk tea at Grand Avenue Thai Cafe

I am not a fan of Hong Kong style milk tea but the tea here was good because it was Thai style milk tea.

It was served in a metal mug which is better than those thick rimmed Hong Kong style cups and there was a colourful straw too.

As for the taste, I found it very pleasant because it did not have the bitterness and heaviness from the condensed milk used in Hong Kong style teas.

To go with the tea I had the Thai fish cakes which was also pleasing because the lemongrass was not strong and it was thinly sliced.



The menu here is designed like a newspaper.







There are lots of drinks to choose from.

Quick stop for food at 米飯班煮

米飯班煮 (荃灣)

This was the last stop for food in Tsuen Wan.

While I was walking past I was attracted by the crispy bun with cheese and tuna which was similar to a pizza except that it had a crispy bun base.



There are two flavours: salted beef and cheese or cheese, tomato and tuna, or you can have both!!!

The salted beef is expected to be good because it reminds me of corned beef.
Talking of corned beef, they had FISH and CHIPS on the menu too.



I loved this crispy bun because it was good served in a different way other than pork chop or condensed milk.
The bun had a lovely crisp crust with a soft centre topped with delicious tuna, cheese and tomato.
I would have loved more cheese though.

Baby lotus roots salad

I was in the area so tried this shop because they had baby lotus root salad.
The last time I had it was at a Japanese restaurant where there was only one as a decorative element.


The lotus roots are really cute, they are like thin rods with six capillaries.
They were crunchy drenched in delicious sweet garlic sauce.

The boneless Thai feet salad was also good but it was a bit too spicy for me.

After I left, there was a local TV station filming that shop.

My expectation at Eggspectation fulfilled

Eggspectation (Tsuen Wan)
When I saw this place listed on OpenRice, the name was really interesting but as there were no reviews I did not know what food was served.
Initially I was quite excited because it didnt sound Chinese.
Eggspectation in the US is as famous upscale American restaurant serving breakfasts and more.

As I was in the area, I decided to visit Eggspectation which was really hard to find because it was in the middle of no where.
I was glad I came because I loved their eggettes.
Apart from eggettes they do waffles and pancakes.

That day they had two creative eggettes with oreo or pistachio so I chose Pistachio.

While I was waiting, I found this joint quite cute.
There were cute metal butterflies decorated on the wall.

There was a huge waffle bowl with icecream which is actually a sauce dispenser!!!!


As well as that there was a mini popcorn machine that can make REAL popcorn!!


Behind the glass I saw some cute boxes which I thought were for display but they put my eggette in that cute box!!

The logo was really good too, you can see that they incorporated the "E" in the Chinese character of EGG.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pistachio eggette:
I loved the box that the eggette was in, and it made it easier to handle because my fingers are really sensitive to hot temperatures.

At the bottom of the box, the stylish letter "E" cut out serves to let the steam out keeping the eggette crispy as well as being part of the design!


The eggette was delicious and cakey with a crispy surface.
It was possible to break them off into little eggette balls and eat them one by one!
The sweetness was just right and I hope they keep it that way and the pistachio nuts were a good match and added a nice crunch.
The pistachio nuts had a few grains of salt which enhanced the eggette just like salt with caramel.
It was so nice I had two eggettes as I doubt I would be in this area again because it is too far!!!!
But anyway a few paces down the block, there is a store called ALL THE BEST and it has some great American groceries in there too.

Sushi @ Hokkaido Katsu Sushi

Hokkaido Katsu Sushi (Tsuen Wan)
Came here after trying out Gu Fah Bakery.

The variety here was quite good but the taste was just average.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Natto beans maki roll:

The maki was quite nice and the natto beans had a slightly bitter taste with its usual slimy texture.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steamed egg with seafood:

Bit too salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Seared salmon sushi:

The salmon was fresh and seared just right but not very memorable.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Seared fish with asparagus and teriyaki sauce:

I liked this because it had asparagus in the middle, but again the taste was not very memorable or overly delicious.
