2021 Royals' Deluxe Rice Dumpling Combo at Royal Plaza Hotel!

Evidently the omnipork rice dumpling (zongzi) from Royal Plaza Hotel was really successful last year as 
they are doing it again this year.

The Royals' Deluxe rice dumpling combo is really good as you get a mix of vegan, sweet and savory so there is a dumpling for everyone.

I like the fact that they are smaller than the regular size hence this combo is good for small families and they are quicker to steam.

Royals' Deluxe rice dumpling combo:
Glutinous Rice Dumpling with Morel Mushrooms,Chestnut and Omnipork
Glutinous Rice Dumpling with Osmanthus, Quinoa and Red Bean
Glutinous Rice Dumpling with Matsutake, Dried Longan and Coix
Seed Mini Glutinous Rice Dumpling with Conpoy and Salted Pork
Mini Glutinous Rice Dumpling with Sweet Lotus Seed Paste

This will all set you back at HKD254 (Originally HKD338)

Glutinous Rice Dumpling with Matsutake, Dried Longan and Coix

Glutinous Rice Dumpling with Osmanthus, Quinoa and Red Bean

The Osmanthus, Quinoa and Red Bean is healthy and nutritious especially for the elderly.

Seed Mini Glutinous Rice Dumpling with Conpoy and Salted Pork:

Mini Glutinous Rice Dumpling with Sweet Lotus Seed Paste

Glutinous Rice Dumpling with Morel Mushrooms,Chestnut and Omnipork

The Glutinous Rice Dumpling with Morel Mushrooms,Chestnut and Omnipork is still my favourite because I love morel mushrooms and omnipork.

Tornade omelette to the next level 六國酒店 旋風蛋叉燒飯

As well as delectable buffets at Le Menu, you can get an instaworthy lunch with the Tornado omelette 旋風蛋叉燒飯 or if you are hungry you can pay a little more to include salad buffet and a drink.
When I saw them post this on FB, I was definitely captivated because they have given the Tornado egg with a local Chinese twist with the use of Barbeque pork and spring onions.

Finally went for late lunch and I was the last to have it.

When it arrived, it was stunning like a swirled omelette generously sprinkled with crisp green spring onions and sweet purple shallots.

The Barbeque pork is piled on top of the rice beneath this pretty omelette skirt.

I seriously recommending watching videos on youtube on how they make it because it is so magical watching the chopsticks twist in the middle of the omelette to get the tornado effect before the egg gets cooked.

Anyway, back to my Tornado omelette, there is a side of house made sauce which tastes like the soy sauce from that famous place Shun Hing in Tai Hang infused with spring onions.
Adding their secret recipe sauce makes it complete.

Every spoonful was divine with the omelette and spring onions in your mouth while the slices of barbecue pork are tender, lean and flavourful complimented by their house special sauce which tastes like fragrant soy sauce with the sweetness of stir fried spring onions and sweet purple shallots.

2020 Nutritious Zongzi combo at Royal Plaza Hotel!

I am sure there are many omnipork zongis around but this is the first year Royal Plaza Hotel has omnipork in the nutritious combo which includes:
-Morel Mushroom, Chestnut and Omnipork
-Matsutake, Dried Longan and Coix seed
-Osmanthus Quinoa and Red bean
The omnipork one is amazing because the pairing of morel mushrooms and chestnut make it tasty as well as festive.

Tried the Matsutake with dried longan and coix seed last year along with the osmanthus quinoa and red bean which are both nourishingly light as well as fulfilling.

The Morel Mushroom with chestnut and ominpork was definitely the star of the show because the flavours of the morel mushrooms which are earthy with a strong umami taste complement the omnipork nicely.

Then we have the nutty chestnuts that are wholesome and festive to add a little sweetness to the taste!

[Review] Vegan Roast at The Victoria Hotel

Quoted from The Victoria Hotel;

[The Victoria Hotel, tucked away in a quiet street near Eastbourne's glorious seafront, has a very welcoming atmosphere and serves up a fine selection of Harveys Ales, including championship winning Best Bitter and a host of seasonal ales.]

I was recommended this pub which is located on the ground floor of The Victoria Hotel by some vegan friends who eat here regularly.

There is nothing like a Sunday roast and here they have Vegan Sunday roast as well as a section on the menu dedicated to vegans!

The Victoria Hotel is at a lovely location near the seafront among some residential houses.
Inside, the decor is instaworthy with a quirky mannequin inside the iconic red phone booth!

Every corner has something that catches your eyes!

Back to the food, as it was Sunday I was there for the Vegan roast which is available with a choice of nut roast or Quorn.
Quorn was sold out that day so I had the Nut Roast.

There were three sizes, Regular, Small and Children's.

Ordered the Regular and small.

Regular:

Having ordered the small, it was very substantial portion in size.

On the plate were roast potatoes, vegan Yorkshire, Swede, gravy, beans, cabbage, stuffing and Nut Roast.
The crucial element had to be the gravy which gives it that roast dinner touch.
As for the vegan Yorkshire, the texture is denser compared to the non vegan version.
The nut roast was very filling flavoured with curry like spices.

Overall very satisfying and I appreciate the vegetarian and Vegan menu offerings.
I was too full for dessert but tried a tweeny bit of the vegan brownie and icecream.
The vegan brownie was rich, soft and sugary while the vegan icecream had an almond taste.

Tea was served with a biscuit.

Will definitely return if I am in the area.
