Fritillary and apricot drink

After trying the delicacies on my last visit, I went back for the drinks.

They had quite a few interesting drinks such as the cashew nut drink, wolfberry and tomato, apricot juice with fritillary.

I assumed they would use fresh fruit for the juices, but they used dried fruits, nuts and berries.
For each drink, all the different ingredients are put in the blender.
Each ingredient comes in indiviudal packs ready to be opened and put in the blender with ice.

It was fun watching them make the drinks, taking out the relevant packs to make each drink.
Same with the ready to eat delicacies, each item was packed in different bags, sachets of tendons, abalone, vegetables.

When I ordered the Apricot juice with fritillary, I saw them get a packet of dried apricots and a packet of fritillary and put the contents in the blender.
Initially I didn’t find the ginseng drink interesting, but blended dry ginseng sounds interesting.

Fritillary and apricot drink
I requested the drink without honey because the apricot was sweet enough, and it turned out just right.
However the drink was thick and syrupy.

Sea cucumber stuffed with prawn patty in truffle sauce
The sea cucumber was not soft enough and the truffle sauce was not strong enough.

First visit to Hokkaido dairy farm milk restaurant

I have always wanted to try this place but when I went to the Wan Chai branch last year it was closed.
The branch in Wan Chai used to be open during the day, but now they have extended their opening hours.

Anyway I decided to try this branch first.

You order and pay at the counter and they will bring over the food.

There are a bar tables or tables to choose from.
Being my first time here, I found the menu confusing, so in the end ordered the set with scrambled eggs, ham, toast and spaghetti in soup with roast pork.
Although this restaurant is Japanese, I felt it was so Chinese because of the style of the sets with the typical pasta, eggs and toast.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Scrambled egg
The egg was soft and fluffy and not too buttery.
I was really impressed with the egg.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fried egg
They were not as tasty as the scrambled eggs, but they were interesting.
I kept dropping the yolk from the spoon by accident on to the plate because the egg was so slippery, but the yolk membrane was so strong that it did not break!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Ham
The ham tasted fake and the texture was like plastic.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Spaghetti in soup with roast pork:
The soup was really nice and creamy and the roast pork was very Chinese.
The roast pork was quite lean yet soft.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Toast
I liked the toast as well, it was crispy and soft in the middle. The toast had real salted butter spread on it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sesame oil
It is thick golden brown sesame oil in the bottle. When the lid was opened, the smell of sesame oil was strong.
After applying it to the food, it really enhanced it and there was a lovely sesame oil taste, althought there was a slight bitterness to it.

Hokkaido Dairy experience at Wan Chai

Last time I came, this branch was closed and now they have extended the opening hours so I decided to give it a try.
After dining at the Admiralty branch there were other items I wanted to try.

The ordering style at this branch is different to the Admiralty branch.
You find a seat first and order at the table.
However the setting of this restaurant was not as comfortable as the Admiralty branch.

 

 

This time ordered the scrambled eggs with mushroom and the scrambled eggs with tomato set.
The set comes with coffee or tea but you can order drinks that are the same price as the coffee or tea, which they do not tell you.
I only found out because I do not drink HK style tea or coffee so there is no point ordering the set.
In the end I ordered the Almond tea with the set.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Scrambled eggs with tomato
The scrambled egg was nice and the tomato was just tomato puree, however there were pieces of eggshell in the egg.

 

★☆★☆★☆★☆★★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Scrambled eggs with mushroom
The amount of mushroom was stingy compared to the Admiralty branch.
The mushroom and sauce was extremely nice.
Again found eggshells.

 

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Macaroni
The amount of soup was stingy compared to the Admiralty branch

 

 

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Eggshells
Not often served with food, but there were a few pieces in the egg.
It had a very gritty texture, which contrasted the lovely smoothness of the scrambled egg!
If your lucky you might come across some!

 

 

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Almond tea
I was surprised it was really nice, the sweetness was just right.
There was slight curdling on the surface of the almond tea.
