Golden prawns @ 金源小館 Your Restaurant
Last time I came, I had the Shandong chicken with Vinegar spare ribs, this time ordered the fried soy sauce prawns.
During the last visit, the table next to us ordered that dish, it smelt so nice sitting next to them, and also the people were saying out delicious it was.
Same with the vinegar spare ribs, you could smell it before it was brought out.
All their dishes are simple, yet delicious, and this is what I call real Chinese food, not the weirdo fusion from the cha chan teng's which is just any stuff cooked together and served as a dish, but dosnt taste nice at all.
The prawns, were fried and there were crispy bits of spring onion and garlic around it on a bed of finely chopped cabbage.
Even the cabbage tasted good, drenched from the saltiness of the prawns and soy sauce.
I really appreciated the fact that everything is edible excluding the plate and bones!!!
Anyway the prawn shell tasted really nice, especially the head, it tasted like burnt soy sauce, but not to the extent it was bitter.
I reckon the prawns were probably soaked in light soy sauce, then deep fried and tossed in garlic and spring onions.

Passionfruit snow flake ice @ 四哥台式雪花冰專門店
When I hear the name four brother, I immediately associate the chinese actor Tse Yin, anyway it probably has a different meaning to them.
I thought I might as well try this place even though I have tried most the places for snowflake ice.
The décor is quite colourful, colourful take out bags, straws and calpis bottles.
As the place was quite vibrant, I decided to order the passionfruit flavoured snowflake ice, with Aiyu jelly and caramel sauce. The Aiya jelly was much firmer than the ones at Sweet pak fu.
The passionfruit base did not have any artificial taste to it either.
They have also put up pictures of Marsha Yuen at the place too, the last time I saw her, she had dessert at berrygood in central.

Buffy the bakery @ 波菲 Buffy's Bakery
The name of this bakery reminds me of buffy the vampire slayer, however the bakery there is fabulous.
I really like their simple packaging, they have used self adhesive plastic bags.
I have brought good buns from here before, but the shop looks different to the one in Tsuen Wan. Anyway today I got the pistachio souffle cake and the seaweed crunchies.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Souffle cake:It was so dreamily delicious, I need to get more next time, I was expecting some sweet old cake, but it was soft like chiffon, and the pistachio paste in the middle was smooth as truffle.
The pistachio paste was very nutty with a slight bitterness.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Seaweed crunchies:Not as good as it should be, like all Asian bakeries, all the savouries items will taste sweet.
However its textures and shape is exactly the same as the british JACOB’s Twiglets, a wheat based crunchy.

Bacon and egg taiyaki @ The Taiyaki Crispy Hot Sandwich
The bacon and egg taiyaki was just simply an egg and a slice of bacon sandwiched in between the crusts.
It was interesting that the egg was well done inside and didnt have a runny centre.
The bacon was ok, I would have preferred sausage.

Delicous chilled green noodles @ 元八拉麵 Ramen Ganpachi
Previously I spotted a picture posted on Openrice showing these cold noodles, so I had to try it, however when i went to try the causeway bay branch they did not have it.
Finally they had it on their seasonal menu.
The set includes a drink, noodles and rice with prawn, better than the set at TST.
The rice comes with fried prawn and onion, a bit like tempura, but prawn and onion dipped together in batter and fried together, abit like the onion rings served at steakhouses.
The rice tastes good with vinegar too.
The noodles, were springy and smooth, tasted good when it was mixed with sauce.

Konjac buckwheat ramen @ Ajisen
Konjac chilled noodes:
They were totally different from the picture. the strands were squiggly like twisted elastic bands, but in the picture they appeared like straight cut buckwheat noodles.
As for the texture, it was like jellyfish, the normal konjac texture not nice for noodles!
