Chili whelks @ 御小廚

Quite cool, they had whelks in chilli sauce, my favourite, the portion was reasonable big and bigger than the portion I got at Star of Canton, also cheaper too!!

The whelks were reasonable clean too, not any sand in it at all.
The only thing that could be improved was that they should supply a fork or stick to eat them with.

Good but had to eat with tacky disposable chopsticks @ 藏戶概念館

Food here is good, but service and chopsticks are not that good.

Firstly had to eat with disposable wooden chopsticks, ready to snap in half at any time.
How can a restaurant supply you with disposable chopsticks!!!!

One of the waitors stunk of BO too!

Anyway back to the food.
Whelks in sauce:a bowl of four whelks in sauce, I thought they would be chewy, but they turned out to be sweet and tender.
Mussels in miso and sake sauce:was impressed the mussels were fresh, not the frozen ones.
Sakura shrimp and veg tempura:was not the item I wanted to order, but it tasted ok,
Sakura shrimp and peach roll:This one tasted the best, ground raw shrimp inside with sweet peach slices inside.
The roll was coated in sakura shrimps, but the thing that let it down was that it didnt stay in one piece when you picked it up with chopsticks.
Overall the food was good, but had difficulty eating mussels and whelks with only a pair of wooden chopsticks and mini fork.

Tasteless soup @ 開心麵皇 Happy Face Noodles

Came here because of the noodle variety and the good reviews about their non MSG soups served with noodles.

Anyway I picked whelks in black peppar sauce, clams in Sake sauce, Abalone in Oyster sauce, squid ink noodles with various of toppings.

Whelks in black pepper sauce: these were slightly over cooked, but reasonably clean, had bits of crushed black pepper corns, tasted ok, however the portion was abit small.

Clams in sake sauce:these tasted the best, strong sake sauce, the clams were slightly different in anatomy to other clams, but not sure in what way.

Abalone in oyster sauce:
tasted like canned abalone, but at that price what can you expect, and also it was sliced for easy eating.

Squid ink Noodles:Order two squid noodles, both in fish soup, however the one I had was so bland, it was like water.
Totally bland compared to the reviews saying how good it was.
As for my topping, i chose pigs blood, bamboo pith, and fresh yam.

For drinks, the red / green juice was ordered, there was a white one too.
Basically they were made from the relevant coloured fruits, it was quite a big glass for $12.

 

Overnight snacks served @ 泉昌美食

Perhaps I went on a wrong day or wrong timing.

I got the curry whelks and squid, it was not hot.

I felt that it was the leftovers that could'nt sell the day before.

The curry was thick, the colour was dark chocolate.

The whelks and squid was dissappointing, they were both overdone and too chewy.

The whelks were gritty too.
