Seafood Sunday brunch with music

Wake up to a good brunch with live music and seafood at ALIBI - Wine dine be social, CORDIS in Hong Kong.

There are plenty of freshly shucked Pacific rock oysters, poached prawns, New Zealand mussels, scallops and Canadian snow crab for those who love seafood.

On the Western selections, there are cold cuts, cheese, Raclette cheese, Live egg station and more.

Hot dishes include paella, slow roasted suckling pig, vegetable gratin and grilled prawns.

There was free flow of fruit juices, meji yoghurts and sweet treats:

Now to the food, I loved the scrambled eggs because you get to choose the ingredients and the Raclette cheese is always my favourite.

For mains, there is a choice of Wagyu beef, Lobster thermidor and lamb so we had different mains.
I thought lamb and beef were the best.

Finished with a Citrus flavoured souffle and Belgian waffle.

[Sharmaji] Indian vegetarian gem

I discovered this restaurant because I was in the area and I had to make a special trip here because the location is not exactly convenient.
I got the MTR to Homantin station thinking it was close but I was wrong.
Whampoa might be a better stop but you still have to walk.

At Sharmaji, they serve North and South Indian vegetarian food at affordable prices.

There were so many things I wanted to eat but in the end I went for the Noodles, Vegetable cutlet, Palak tikki and Pau bazi.

The vegetable cutlet and palak tikki were good but a bit too dry for my liking but it was good you can order by piece to try them out.

The Pau Bazi was buns with some curry and dips to complement it. It didn't look spicy but it was extremely spicy and you can taste more spices in this than other restaurants.

The fried noodles were a bit too soft but again super spicy.

Other dishes that I hope to try on my next visit if I am in the area.

 The bill amounted to HK$123 so it wasn't that expensive.

[2017] Eggsentially Art at Lee Gardens

Eggettes, Egglettes, Eggpuffs, EggWaffles these are all the same thing.
A waffle with connected semi spheres that is a popular street snack in Hong Kong that costs around $18-$50.

At Lee Gardens, they have held an eggette fair with many popular eggette stalls in one place.

Most of the eggettes cost $30 each which makes it easy when buying cash tokens as they comes in bases of $30.

There is a list of stalls with the eggettes they are offering.

There were some interesting flavours such as Takoyaki style from Fullhouse Egglet and Chocolate avocado from Mammy Pancake.

In the end I got eggettes from Eggspectation because I love their eggettes.
All their eggettes are made from duck eggs which was the traditional recipe back in the 1950s.
I tried the pork floss and seaweed which was really delicious because it was not too sweet and the pork floss tasted surprisingly good in the eggette.

I also tried the Lof10 style eggette which was topped with crispy parma ham.

The best Temaki Sushi hand rolls

As I was in Tuen Mun for a photoshoot, I got some recommendations for food.
My friend recommended me this Temaki Sushi hand roll joint at Waldorf Shopping arcade.

I didn't have any expectations because hand rolls are just cold clumped sushi rice and the only exciting part is the first few bites because all the ingredients are on the top.
Secondly I find it messy eating hand rolls because the toppings and rice go everywhere after taking a bite.

Anyway, after the photo shoot I decided to check it out as I was really hungry and could do with some carbs.

It was a small joint beneath the busy mall yet they had so many hand rolls to choose from that it was hard for me to decide, so in the end I picked the hot items.
The interesting thing was that I saw a grandpa eating a roll so it must be good because elderly Chinese do not usually eat sushi as they consider it rather modern.

++++++++
[grilled flounder fish hand roll]
Began with the flame grilled flounder fish which was a good start because the rice was at room temperature and it wasn't clumped together but loosely held together yet firm.


It was wrapped in paper so it was easy to eat AND I did not make a mess and the fish didn't drop out, the seaweed was fresh and crisp that it lets you get a clean bite without needing to tug it.
The fish itself was fresh and the oils infused with the rice nicely that I didn't need any seasoning.

+++++++++++++++

Next I had the cheesy roll with a prawn cutlet in the middle.
It was topped with egg and cheesy sauce.


Normally I am not keen on Japanese egg because it is sweet but when you take a bite of this, all the flavours are fantastic because the sauce is tangy and then you get the warm crispy prawn in the middle and then you have the egg and cheese.


The best thing is that the frying oil was fresh so it didn't kill the roll.
++++
The next roll I had was the hand roll with uni, scallops and salmon roe, basically all my wishes in one as if I was eating a hand rolled donburi!!!


Again, all the ingredients were fresh especially my favourite popping salmon roe and in the middle it was not just solid rice, there was salmon in the middle.


+++++
As I was still hungry, I decided to get the fried soft shell crab with crab paste hand roll because the fried soft shell crab is guaranteed to be good judging by the fried prawn I had earlier since their frying oil is fresh.
When it came, you could see the how vibrant the crab was, it was bright orange and you can see the claws clearly because the coating of flour is thin.


I just loved every bite of this because the crab paste was so fresh and not fishy and the soft shell crab was light and crispy.
+++++

I am definitely coming back when the MTR is half fare again.
