[OMQ Diningroom] Old Master Q comic themed restaurant

According to wiki Old Master Q is a popular Hong Kong comic portrayed in cartoon form in newspapers and magazines as far back as 1962 which was later serialised in 1964.

OMQ Dining room is basically decorated with Old Master Q so it makes a great tourist attraction for people to experience.

Foodwise, they serve the typical cha chaan teng stuff like Swiss wings, baked pork chops etc, fancy desserts and drinks.

I had the fancy sweet potato drink with black diamonds which was actually grass jelly. A surprisingly good drink because it was not too sweet or artificial and I liked the sweet cream on top.

The food was so so especially the lasagne which was too sweet.

Overall a great place for gatherings because it is quite spacious with baby chairs.

The seats are big enough for large people!
Not funny but funny because the character looks decapitated!

[The Place] Summer in Hawaii

In Hong Kong, buffets are just buffets with oysters and lobsters because this is a basic requirement that Hong Kongers want to have.
At The Place, Cordis, they are doing a Hawaiian themed buffet for summer which is really worth trying because there are only one or two places in HK for Hawaiian food.

From appetizers to desserts, you will find something exciting.

Lomi lomi salmon, tako poke, seared ahi nori roll:

Lau lau roasted pork:

Desserts:
Rainbow shave ice:

Macadamia souffle:

Almond rice pudding:

Pina colada cake:

Pineapple mousse cake:

They also have craft beers from Hawaii at a special price of HK$50 per bottle.

My sweet tooth totally kicked in because of all those exotic desserts.
The macadamia souffle was divine because the creamy nuts really give it texture and flavour while the shave ice was the best thing to have on a hot day.
Shave ice is not to be confused with Shaved ice because that is how they call it in Hawaii.

WASHOKU spring dinner buffet at La Scala: Media preview

Spring is here and La Scala have just launched a WASHOKU Japanese-themed buffet.

There are Robatayaki delights, seasonal sushi, seafood, freshly shucked oysters, grilled steak and a new yoghurt DIY corner.

For the health conscious, they have a Japanese-style salad bar with okra and other healthy treats.

The cheese section, a must for expats!

Sweets for kids:

Ginko nuts:

Japanese grilled fish fins:

Oysters:

Cantonese roast:

 Sushi and sashimi counter:

Here was what we had:
There is something for everyone but as a carbs lover, I liked the Hainan chicken rice and pasta.

At this media gathering we got to try this realistic sashimi don cake.
When I was taking photos, I assumed it was vegetarian sushi but then it was revealed that it was a dessert made with blood orange jelly and raspberry to mimic the salmon and tuna.
The wasabi was mimicked by green tea mousse.

We also got to make a mini version to take home.

Coming in April, there will be a new tea set in collaboration with Benefit Cosmetics, featuring girly treats!
