[Calimex] All day breakfast Crispy bacon bowl

I love the breakfast bowls here so got the bacon one.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
All day breakfast Crispy bacon bowl:

I love their bowls but the breakfast bowl is even better because it comes with fried egg or scrambled egg.
Since I have already tried the fried egg version, I got the scrambled egg which tastes really nice with the cheese.
For sauces, I tried the medium this time which is red in colour but not that spicy.
The bacon was good but not all of it was crispy and the rice was cold while the portion was small compared to other bowls that they serve for the same price.

Brunch at Americanos

Since my last visit, there are new breakfast items so I went here for brunch.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
[b]Iced tea:[/b]

It was iced earl grey so I really liked it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
[b]Huevos Americanos:[/b]

The taco wraps were not soft enough but the runny egg yolk and delicious toppings made up for it and the bacon was the best because it was crispy and not too salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
[b]breakfast burrito:[/b]

The breakfast burrito was really tasty because it was loaded with cheese, egg, black beans and guacamole.

McDelivery!! Hong Kong's McBreakfast

I used to assume McDelivery was only available from lunch to midnight but when I found out that they deliver breakfast too, I decided to order breakfast because the queues are always long at McDonalds.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fish muffin:


Tried the fish muffin which was new.
It is basically the same as the filet-o-fish but in a muffin.




It was really nice because the muffin was chewy and dusted with a delicious maize powder.
The fish muffin was good but there was not enough tartar sauce and not enough cheese which gives it a salty flavour.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Breakfast set:


I got this because of the scrambled eggs with mushrooms and the rashers of bacon.
The scrambled eggs were disappointing because the mushrooms did not have any flavour and the bacon was dry and hard.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Scottish All-day breakfast at The Canny Man (Wan Chai)

I haven't had the Scottish Breakfast for a while so decided to have it.


It's quite pricey but then this is the only place that serves it.
You need to phone in advance for it because I went there before and they did not have it.

The Scottish breakfast consists of:
Scottish square sliced (lorne sausage), bacon, eggs, black pudding, tomato, sauteed mushrooms, onion and potato, baked beans and toast (choice of fried bread).
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Scottish breakfast:


The sauteed potatoes were my favourite because they were tossed with onions and herbs.

The mushrooms were good as well because they were earthy and tasty.


However the Lorne sausage and black pudding were a bit greasy and there was too much milk in the scrambled egg because the taste was too dairy.

Hong Kong's McDonalds breakfast burgers

Got two burgers because I don't know when I will next get breakfast and regretted I didn't get the egg burger too asbreakfast burgers are dirt cheap.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Ham N' Cheese Burger





This should be renamed HAMBURGER because it really does contain ham.
It was quite nice but the ham patty was a bit salty with the cheese.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken Muffin





The chicken muffin tastes better than KFC's chicken muffin because the muffin is chewier but soft and nicely buttered.
I really liked the chicken patty because it had hints of black pepper and there was lots of mayonnaise on it but the mayonnaise is not as good compared to Justmayo by Hampton Creek.

Bewitching with an Irish brunch

It was nice to see another Irish place open up because there are not many Irish restaurants in Hong Kong.

O'Phillie's Irish restaurant & pub is now a new competitor for Delaney's.

So far, I have only tried their lunch and brunch so I can't compare their roast yet.
The decor of this place is green and Celtic just what you would expect for the Irish culture.

The brunch menu was quite good, for the Full Irish breakfast, there was a half portion option.
I wonder if you would get half a black pudding in the half portion.


Here was what I ordered:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Smoked salmon scramble:


There was no apricot jam given as stated on the menu.
The scrambled egg was quite nice but the salmon could have been fresher because it tasted a bit fishy.
The Dublin hash was just an ordinary hash brown.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Bewitching "Full" Irish breakfast:
I loved the name "Bewitching" for a breakfast because it sounded enchanting.
The full breakfast had: two pork sausages, two pieces of Irish smoked maple bacon, award winning black pudding, grilled tomato, baked beans, eggs, Dublin hash brown and toast with apricot jam.

When it arrived, there was no apricot jam or black pudding so I informed the waitor.


The Dublin hash was a bit disappointing because it was just the usual hash browns and they were quite oily.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Black pudding:


The missing black pudding was served when I nearly finished the breakfast.
It was different to the ones I have had before which come in slices and the black pudding skin was very tough to slice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Receipt:

O'Phillie's Irish restaurant & pub
Shop 202, 2/F, QRE Plaza, 202 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai

Just the usual breakfast fare

Perhaps I am not an Auzzie, so the food at The Cupping Room did not really connect with me.



The seating was cramped and the environment was noisy.





☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pasta arrabiata with aubergines:

The arrabiata sauce was rather spicy and the spiral pasta was too al dente for my liking.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Breakfast:

The breakfast was overpriced and it was the same usual items eg mushrooms, bacon, tomatoes, scrambled egg, sausage and hard bread which did not taste better than other places.
Woops, no baked beans!

Surprised by the quality at Mr Chef cafe

Discovered this little joint serving Western style breakfasts when I was at a tasting recently.

I was tempted to try it before but it was packed, there are 4 seats, 2-3 that you could possibly sit on if people don't put there bags on them.

Anyway, I was in the area again so dined there.
TST is not a place I usually go, but unluckily this place I wanted to try was closed, so luckily I remembered this place.

I was skeptical at first because it was Chinese style Western breakfast so I tried the omelette. There was also eggs Benedict which I wanted to try but sitting uncomfortably on a narrow bench table put me off ordering it.


The all day breakfasts cost around $34-$38.
I ordered the omelette because it looked easy to eat without much effort.

Unfortunately the drinks that come with it were Hong Kong milk tea or Coffee.
I ended up choosing the coffee because I don't drink Hong Kong milk tea.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fresh grounded coffee:


I don't drink coffee but I drank half a cup because it was quite nice and not too milky with no sour aftertaste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
green pepper and ham omelette:
When I saw it on the menu, the pairing of green pepper and egg was rather odd because green pepper has this distinct taste.
Anyway, when it arrived, I could smell freshly cracked black pepper that was sprinkled on.

The black pepper and green pepper went surprisingly well with the omelette and the texture of the omelette was soft and fluffy with a slightly runny centre.


It was just nice having the omelette with the toast and the side of salad was ok because it was dressed in sweet balsamic vinegar.
The baked beans were cold so I asked them and they said they were served cold.
I normally have my beans cold anyway because it tastes better.
