Oyster sauce made with REAL HIROSHIMA Oysters

I have always wanted to eat here because of their luxurious noodles with foie gras and truffle, however Tai Kok Tsui is really hard to locate!

Anyway finally found it but I went during the day so I couldnt order the noodles with foie gras but I ordered the signature preserved egg and noodles with oyster sauce and foie gras oil.

Preserved egg From the photos this preserved egg looks so cool! The preserved yolk is molten.
When it came it was exactly like the ones in the previous reviews.
The texture of the preserved egg is mushier than the usual preserved eggs that when you pick it up with chopsticks the preserved egg white breaks.
The taste of the preserved egg yolk was really strong and delicious.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Preserved ginger Initially I thought it was boring sweet pickled ginger but I was wrong.
I appreciated the way they did not use colouring to make it pink.
The taste was really sour and I loved it and I ate all of it, and it was really refreshing to finish off with that after eating a really strong tasting preserved egg.
The pickled ginger is preserved themselves.

Oyster sauce
When I ordered I thought the oyster sauce would be seperate from the foie gras oil.
I usually ask them not to give me the oyster sauce because I do not like the Lee Kum Kee type.
Anyway when it came the oyster sauce looked different so I gave it a try and I was amazed!
It had real oyster taste, the Hiroshima oyster type.
The only complaint was that it was too sweet, but it went nice with the noodles and the lettuce.
As for the foie gras oil I could vaguely taste it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Lettuce The lettuce was nicely blanched and the soup was really nice and not water as I initally thought, so the lettuce had taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Noodles I loved these egg noodles and the lovely oyster sauce really enhanced it.

Next time I will come back in the evening and try the truffle noodles. Tissues:

Hot Pot @ Taste Full Kitchen

Located in Hang Hau, I was surprised this restaurant was quite nice especially the interior. When I entered the restaurant, the logo reminded me of Megan's Kitchen 美味廚 in Wan Chai.
Both these places share the Chinese characters 美味 in the name and they both offer some unique items for the hot pot.
In the end I found out that this restaurant is part of the Victoria Harbour restaurant group.

I chose the broth with pork bones and when it came it was white with some sweet corns, shitaake mushrooms and chives in it. I was expecting it to be tasteless but it was really strong, it was as nice as the broths at Little Fat Sheep so for people who do not favour red meat, the veggies and other items did not turn out to be tasteless due to the broth.
There were lots of spices in the broth too.
As well as the nice broth, they had nice sauces. Although I am allergic to the sichuan sauce, the sichuan sauce was really nice, it was not that spicy but the taste and smell was really aromatic.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
======HOTPOT ITEMS====== ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dumplings with truffle:
It was such a waste with the pieces of truffle placed on top, when it is in the hot pot the truffle pieces float away.
The truffle pieces should have been wrapped inside.
The skin was really thick so the filling was hard to cook.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Oysters in the tub:
I was disappointed with the size of these because I have seen bigger before, however I found a tiny pearl that was forming.
The taste was creamy but slightly too mushy.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hiroshima Oysters:
Surprisingly these taste better than the ones in tubs.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Fish maw and fish belly:
These were nice just plainly blanched in the hot pot because the soup broth was strong but after adding the sichuan sauce it was really nice as well.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Apart from Hot Pots I will be back for their dinners because they had some interesting items such as oysters, steamed alaskan crab legs with huadiao wine.
