A very eggy rice roll @ Happy Welcome Restaurant

I never knew that you could get egg rice rolls, but I recently read Ivy's review about this rice roll place in Wan Chai that serves rice rolls with egg in it.

When I walked past this place, I saw a picture of rice rolls with preserved egg and egg so I decided to try that.

Apart from preserved egg, there were so many other choices for rice rolls.
Next time I am going to try the famous one nearby, but they only open during the evening.

Preserved egg and egg rice roll:
I was slighty disappointed with this because the preserved egg was a bit hard and tasteless. The egg on the other hand was really nice and had strong egg taste.
After putting lots of soya sauce on it, the rice roll tasted really nice.
Since the rice rolls were tasteless, it would be great if they made preserved egg and salted egg rice roll!

Gwat Gwat Guangzhou style rice rolls in Sai Kung

Tried this place because of the banner showing these weird looking rice rolls.
Initally I did not know the Chinese for it but it turns out it is pronounced "guaat" which means rough I think.

Gwat gwat rice rolls:
When it came, these rice rolls looked like long straight umblical cords and they also reminded me of the Chaozhao style rice rolls too, however the Chaozhao rice rolls are served circular and look more like a sheep's placenta.

I just felt they tasted like ordinary rice rolls but because they had extra ridges, it was slightly al-dente and the ridges hold the sauce, so it tastes better.
I asked them if these were Chaozhao rice rolls and they said they learnt it from Guangzhou!

Snacks:
There was nothing interesting about the frankfurters, fishballs or shaomai.

Inmitation sharks fin soup:
This was like gunge and it was so lumpy that you can taste the starchy flour.

Soy bean drink:
It was good that it was not sweetened and the sugar is added by yourself
