Millions of choices for hotdogs @ 熱狗の家 Hot Dog Family

I have eaten here so many times now, I love their hotdogs and the different toppings you can get.
I usually have Neuremburg sausage instead of the frankfurter, basically its a thin pork sausage similar to the breakfast one.
The owners are very nice, and if you spend over $40 you get a mini charm, if you collect a certain amount of them, you can exchange for a bear. I think there is an extra helper who is a bit annoying, shes like a commander, rushing people to make decisions and sometimes likes to make them in behalf of others.
I think we all know who...if we've met her!!
Anyway back to the food:
Japanese dog:
Ingredients: Bun, sausage, teriaki sauce, seven taste powder, seaweed shreds, black and white sesame, and japanese mayo.
Taste: Very delicious and rich in sauces, so many flavours in one go.
Italian dog:
Ingredients: Bun, sausage, olive oil, herbs, tomato ketchup, cheese, mustard sauce, garlic.
Taste: Tastes a bit like garlic bread since its toasted with garlic butter, I think it would taste better without the mustard, but not bad.
The final two, I cant remember which is which, the cottage dog and the farmhouse dog.
One had egg and mayonnaise, and the other was salad and avocado.
Both delicious.
There are others I want to try, such as the one with lobster meat, and the curry one, but not available on the weekends.
BUT I WILL BE BACK, to eat and collect more Charms!!

Chinese fried treasures @ 大家姐 chez a grande soeur

Everytime I go past this snack bar, it is always full of people.

So I finally tried it and got hooked on their fried snacks.
They serve good quality fish siumai, not too soft and not too oversteamed.

Their fried treasures are even better, big tofu stuffed with fish patty, the fried fish balls are also good, quite big too.
The chicken satay is also good too, sweet peanut sauce.

Happy restaurant and happy food @ 開心餐廳

So glad this place is finally listed, because the food is good.

I walked past and saw some people eating rice with fried egg and gravy,
lots of gravy too, so I sat down to try that dish.

They offer many combinations: egg and frankfurter sausage, sausage and chicken, beef steak and egg, served with gravy, black pepper gravy or sweetcorn sauce.
I have tried all the sauces, and think the original gravy is the best, although I think there is too much colouring in the gravy. I got some of the gravy on my thumb, and it stained it, hence u can imagine the colour of my intestines.
But anyway the egg is done just right, and you can eat the liquid yoke with the rice.

Reasonably prices around $2x, and a drink is included.

Who is the real manufacturer or is it a JV?

Walked past and saw these packaged puddings exactly the same as the ones at Prince Edwards.
At that moment, I did not realise the name of the shop was different, I just recognised the packaging and the flavours.
The range they sold was exactly the same as the range at Prince Edwards.
As I did not try all the flavours last time at Prince Edwards, I bought the other flavours here.

After I checked Openrice I realised that this shop was called Hop Hing and the one at Prince Edwards is called Dai Kee, but
the range is exactly the same.
However they cost more here and are slightly bigger per slice.
They cost $15 for 3, but at Dai Kee, they cost $4 per slice and you can just buy one if you want.

Pumpkin and Custard:
This was quite nice and not too sweet with pieces of pumpkin.

Almond:
This was my favourite one because it had the lightest taste.

Taro and Sago: This one tasted nice, but its texture made itself the odd one out from the other two I tried.
It was firmer than the other two, and there was more ingredients in it such as taro pieces and sago.
It was the sweetest and had the strongest flavour of the three.

Gulliver's journey experience in Hong Kong

I have always wanted to try this place because I liked the name of the shop which comes from Gulliver's travels.

However its location is quite far from the city and there is now another shop located at Mikiki.

Although with the convenience of modern travel today, I was lazy to travel here compared with Gulliver's adventurous travels to various cities in the novel.

Anyway, when I got here, I was greeted with the B and L logo composed of the illustrations of the ice-creams that they sell.
It shows giant icecreams (Brobdingnag) and dwarf icecreams (Lilliput) arranged like a compass which correlates to travelling and matches the Gulliver theme with waves beneath the name of the shop as if it were a ship.

From the reviews there is taro ice-cream, so I ordered that but it was not available that day so I had to order something else.
The available flavours are listed on the board on the right which is quite confusing because all the flavours are listed there.
It turns out that the available flavours have an icecream magnet stuck to it which I thought was part of the design.
Anyway quite alot of the flavours I wanted to try were not available such as taro and white chocolate, so I just got the tutti frutti.

I saw these colourful tiny cups which have coloured liquid inside that freeze in the freezer so that when you take them out you can pour alchohol shots in there to chill it.


The colour cups were tiny so I ordered it thinking there would not be much ice-cream, but the portion was quite big.
These cups can be taken home and it was thoughtful of them to give me a plastic bag to carry the dirty cup home.

As well as ice-cream they sell ice-cream for space (space foods), ice lollies and mini ice-cream flowers which come in a box with small pieces of ice-cream shaped flowers in it.
