[聯盛宴 Federal Banquet] I love the uniform

Surprised that there are no comments here but this restaurant used to be on the top floor accessed by escalators.
The new place is slightly smaller than the old place.
The food here is OK and the uniform is quite nice because I like red tartans.

The manager Jxxxx wears a light turquoise tartan suit which makes him stick out from the crowd.

As usual, you have to rinse the bowls before you eat and the rinse bowl looks a bit like a piss bowl because of the shape LOL!


The soup and suckling pig were good.

The chicken brain was quite small with less folds and complexity compared to the human brain.
It tasted fishy and Goose brains tastes much better.
I want to try the pig's brain next time LOL but it was sold out when I attempted to try it in MACAU!


Cute flashing red light bulbs stabbed right in the eye sockets!

The queue never ends at Federal Restaurant

Federal Restaurant (Diamond Hill)

Whether the food is good or bad, the queue does not end for this place because Chinese dim sum is a tradition.
It's location is also good too, right in the heart of a residental area and above the MTR station.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chinese radish puffs:

Oily pastry
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tofu:

This was not really a dim sum item but the only dish that tasted ok.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Stir fried noodles:
Oily, greasy with a nasty rancid wok taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Spring rolls:
Effortless fried spring rolls with nothing much inside it and extremely oily.

Chinese food @ Federal Restaurant

Federal Restaurant (Diamond Hill)

Went to a Chinese dinner at Federal Restaurant.
This review is going to short because I am not fond of Chinese food because it is always too salty and oily!

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Marinated goose wings:

I loved these marinated goose wings, they were gelatinous and soft.
It would be great if they were not so salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Roast pork belly

A good even distribution of meat, fat and crispy skin.
The taste of the roast pork was good and not too salty.

Back for my favorite green tea tiramisu

Restaurant: Maccha House (Diamond Hill)

Came back for more Maccha desserts because I did not get to try them all last time.


Maccha House has been opened for quite a few months so operations are going smooth.


On this visit, I still could not try the Maccha brulee because when it arrived, it was still frozen
I wish they could improve on that because on my first visit, the Maccha brulee was frozen rock hard!
On this visit, it was also rock hard.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tuna Ochazuke:

The rice is covered with tuna sashimi served with a pot of Ochazuke.





In Kyoto, ochazuke is known as bubuzuke. When a Kyoto native asks if a guest wants to eat bubuzuke, it may really mean that the person has overstayed and is being politely asked to leave.





After the ochazuke was poured onto the rice, the rice softened up a bit and warmed up, but the ochazuke was not hot enough.
There were also pickles and wasabi to enhance the tuna.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Curry chicken with spinach and egg rice:


This was also delicious but if you plan to have desserts do not order it because it is quite filling.
I liked the steepness of the bowl because the curry sauce gets concentrated at the bottom so there is enough curry sauce throughout.
There was too much excitement in this dish because there was egg, chicken and spinach.
The egg was scrambled really nicely, soft and fragrant, and tasted delicious with the spinach.
On top of that there was chicken that is bound to make you really full and the curry sauce was delicious but slightly spicy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Soup:

The soup was plain vegetable soup with a light flavour.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Green Tea tiramisu:





When it arrived the top layer was quite runny which was interesting but it turned out to be really creamy.
Every part of the maccha tiramisu was delicious from the sponge combined with the creamyness of the dessert followed by the freshness of the green tea powder.
