[Sun Curry] Star Street is never gloomy with Sun Curry

Discovered this new curry joint on Star Street when I was going to Maison ES recently.
The curry joint stood out because of the hippy style flowery SUN logo and the bright LED star.

Finally went there during Easter.
On the menu, there is a simple choice of curry which is paired with rice, noodle, vermicelli, flat rice noodle and udon.
They also specialize in Beef Brisket too, there is ordinary beef brisket and the Superb Beef brisket which is in limited supply each day.
I was really chuffed to see Lemon Chicken, Curry Fishballs and Fried Ice Cream on the menu.
It really felt like going to my local Chinese Takeaway in UK because curry and lemon chicken are popular picks.

Tried the Lemon Chicken and Beef Curry.
At first, I thought the curry tasted like Japanese curry but then it tasted like Pakistani curry which is very spicy.

Also tried a bit of the Superb beef brisket which was very soft and that beef broth it was in was amazing so I would recommend their beef brisket noodles as well.

The lemon chicken in appetizing lemon sauce was comforting and healthier because it was pan fried and not the deep fried version.

I really enjoyed my curry fix so I will be back for the fried ice cream and I secretly wish fried apple / banana is going to be on the menu and sweet and sour chicken too!!!
As you can imagine, this joint is very popular with residents and people working nearby.

Conrad curry buffet at the Lobby Lounge

Tried the afternoon tea buffet in 2010 but I wasn't impressed with the service because the staff were stuck up with people who don't have a platinum card as reviewed on openrice.
Anyway, my aunt took me here for my mums birthday and was surprised that as a blogger I didn't know about their curry buffet but then no one has really written about it on openrice so I won't even bother to write about the curry even though I always comment there.
The curry buffet secret is safe here because Hong Kongers don't really appreciate a good Indian authentic curry.

The staff were still a bit stuck up like before but my aunt said they were part of the Hilton group but sorry I don't know you guys.

Anyway, the curry was bloody good especially the South Indian dosa and coconut chutney which I had twice.
The guy who made the dosas was quite intimidating and he didn't seem to give a sxxt when you complimented his dosas.
It was strange because when he gave me mine it was cut in half but the one my brother got wasn't sliced.

It is really good that there is another option for curry buffet as well as Dickens.

Our lunch ended with a delicious rhubarb crumble which was found in the dessert section but they didn't have custard.

Cheap vegetarian fix at Bombay Aloo in Brighton

Discovered this restaurant because I was at The Lanes in Brighton.

Tried this place because I love curries and it was only £4.95 and you can eat as much as you like.

The selection was a bit weak but fair for that price, however the curries were a bit too watery for my liking.

Hindu Curry Restaurant

There are not many curry places in the East side of Hong Kong so this was why we went here.

Apparently, Hin Ho Curry is really famous and serves a good variety of curry.

Started off with Masala poppadoms which were topped with crisp fresh tomatoes and onions that made you hungrier as you ate.

++++++++++++++++++++++
Next we had the samosas which were vegetarian filled with fluffy potatoes and peas.
There is a lamb option as well.

+++++++++++
Chicken satay:
Then we had lightly spiced chicken satays which were tender and juicy.

+++++++++++++
The lamb shank was soft and the lamb came off the bone easily.

To go with the curry, the rotis were perfect because they were soft and light.

The naan was soft and fluffy

++++++++++
We also had my favourite saag paneer which was spinach and cottage cheese, a lightly spiced curry.

++++++++++
I was surprised to see curry crab on the menu but this was very spicy.

+++++++++++
These were huge prawns in a sweet and mild curry sauce.

+++++++++++
For tandoori, there was a good variety ranging from: chicken, lamb, pork neck meat and squid.

My favourite were the squid and lamb.


The Tandoori squid was my favourite because it was surprisingly springy and tender.

++++++++++++
To finish off, there was strawberry lassi which was blended with fresh strawberries but I found it a bit sweet.

++++++++++++
Overall the food was ok but service can be slow especially during lunch.
They also have other Asian options to cater for everyone.

Tottori inspired dishes at Bishoku Club Yoshida

It was an honor attending a luncheon at Bishoku Club Yoshida because the governor of Tottori was there.

I had the set menu which has dishes made with ingredients from Tottori.
[Since my visit, there have been changes to the menu]

Tottori is famous for pears, Pink Curry and Manga.
Before the food came, the governor Shinji Hirai showcased products and mascots from Tottori.
He showed us three pears: 二十世紀梨 20th Century Pear , 夏姬梨 Natsuhime and 新甘泉 Shinkansen with a cute mascot.

Manga is a big thing in Tottori because many cartoonists grew up there so there are lots of museums and bronze manga statues.

The Pink Soy sauce and Pink curry were interesting. The pink curry was on the internet a while ago so I was really lucky it was on the menu.
As well as the curry, they also had the 20th Century Pear on the menu.

Pear and vegetables salad:


The vegetables came with sauce but they didn't need it because they were just crisp and sweet.
It was my first time trying raw aubergine and it is surprisingly sweet, not to mention the star of the show which are the crisp and sweet pear chunks.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Marinated sliced squid with diced bean-curd:

The marinated squids were salty and springy, great with beer.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
3 Kinds of Yam (Jelly style, Yam steak and marinated by Lemon vinegar):


My favourite was the Yam in jelly because is was crisp and had a viscous texture.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Dried firefly squid charcoal grill:


The squids were really nice because they become aromatic and tasty after they were grilled.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
dried rosy seabass with pink soy sauce and cooked vegetables:


The delicate and silky rosy seabass was paired with this stunning pink soy sauce from Tottori.
華貴婦人のピンク醤油, or Hanakifujin no Pink Shoyu, means “Flower Lady’s Pink Soy Sauce”.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
"zuwai" crab leg and crab miso charcoal grill:



The crab roe was rich and delicious with the rice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
2 kinds of curry (pink and traditional flavour) with rice:


I was so glad they had this because it was on the news last year, see link below.
Basically it is vegetarian and tastes like Japanese curry with a good degree of spiciness.

Pear compote:

Finished with this crisp and sweet fruit compote!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Nashi liquer:


For drinks we had Nashi liquer which is sweet and addictive because it is almost like drinking pure pear juice with an alcoholic kick to it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Here are photos of the governor Shinji Hirai showcasing highlights from Tottori.




Tottori mascot:

For Tottori fans, EGL are doing tours to tottori and you can also learn to make French style pear tarts and pear jam using the 20th Century pear by attending classes at ABC cooking studio, but if you just want to indulge on a sweet and crisp pear which is great for sharing during moon festival you can get them at TASTE, GREAT and AEON supermarkets.

Minced cutlet curry at Coco Ichibanya

Tried the new Minced cutlet curry, which is basically a minced steak that is coated in cutlet crumbs, deep fried served with curry sauce.

The minced cutlet was quite nice, the meat was finely minced with a fragrant beef smell and had a pleasant meat taste but the let down was the frying oil because it made the cutlet taste a bit rancid which is unnoticeable when you eat it with the curry sauce.....
