All you can eat Dim Sum buffet @ 小肥羊 Little fat sheep

Went to try their Dim Sum buffet, $55 per person plus 10% service charge and tea.

Their Dim Sum range includes all the basics you can eat in any restaurant, such as the Prawn Hargau, Various rice rolls, Beef balls, chicken feet, dessert, and their Mongolian dishes.

I was surprised most of their dishes were satisfactory, the Har Gau was wrapped more like the Mongolian dumplings/Italian tortellini. The dishes that let it down were the beef balls, and lamb dumplings. The beef balls were very red, either caused by soda powder or being uncooked. The lamb dumplings were the worst, it tasted so foul, I wanted to puke after taking one bite.

Savory Olive cherry tomato mousse cake @ caffè HABITŪ

Was intending to try the Molten sea salt chocolate cake, but it was sold out, so opted for the tomato mousse cake with Olive oil.

A bit strange, the combination reminded me of Italian Panini, anyway tasted a bit weird but ok.
The bits of tomato tasted hard and sweet, like glazed cherry.

Also ordered Breakfast tea as well, but I can never understand why people never give milk with tea, unless you request for it.

Beef fried rice @ Pokka Cafe

Ordered the Supreme beef fried rice, garnished nicely with a piece of seaweed.

The rice was Japanese pearl rice, it also had shredded lettuce, lumps of beef.
Not too salty or oily.

The portion was sufficient for lunch.

lettuce and fish patty soup @ Cafe De Coral

Ordered a mini roast pork with rice, including HK style tea, and also ordered a lettuce and fish soup.

The tea I gave away, and the rice was nice and soft, and the roast pork was not too fat or lean, with enough soy sauce.

The soup, had bits of lettuce and fish patty, the advantage having it here, is that it is more hygienic than the one served in the congested streets.

Tender flamed grilled chicken @ Burger King

Finally paid this branch a visit, and ordered the Tender flamed grilled chicken.

I really liked the bun, topped with yellow maize rather than sesame seeds.

The burger was neatly presented, no lettuce falling out or sauce on the sides.
Very managable in terms of size, and not too much salad in the bun.
The chicken was very juicy and tender just as stated, and the chicken was thigh meat which could not go wrong.

The fries were crunchy, much better than the BK at the airport branch.

Also had a spicy grilled chicken wing, good as expected and not too dry or overly spicy.

Delicious chips with cheddar sauce @ Burger Mix

Again I was drawn to this place because of chips, not the chips itself, but the cheese sauce, not the melted cheese type, but a smooth runny cheddar sauce.

I like various styles of chips, especially poutine, gravy and chips, curry sauce and chips.

Anyway the chips here and the sauce complemented each other very well. Firstly the chips were light golden yellow, and not too burnt, giving it a crispy skin with a nice and soft starchy centre.
The oil was fresh, hence there was no foul taste in it.
The sauce was nice and runny, and salty enough to flavor the chips.
It reminds me of the American Cheese sauce, shown on the pic, but not as thick as that, and the sauce here does not go thick after a while.

I was a bit hesitant in trying outside food bars due to the hot weather, but the chips were hot, but not piping hot, and they were ready very quickly too, so either they had been done for a while.

I wanted to try the burgers, but there wasn’t a comfortable environment to eat.

Price wise, I thought the fries were a bit expensive, just a small cup, but since the quality was so good, I thought it was worth it. Comparing the cost of fries and their burgers, they both cost around $1X so if you are ordering burgers and adding additional fries, it would be a better deal.

In the distant future, when the weather cools down, I will probably try their burgers, mainly because the reviews say the patty is thin, and also the cheese sauce is good.
Apart from the tuna burger I had at Freshness, I believe this is the second place in HK that serves it, but only for breakfast/afternoon periods.

The menu saids you can choose the fillings, sauce, but it didnt say what sauces they had, so I am guessing the usual tomato, cheese, mustard etc.

Even if food is not an option, the drinks would be an option to me, Grape smoothie sounds interesting, Apple honey, and exciting sodas such as Peach, Strawberry.

The price for the sodas are quite reasonable too for $10. The smoothies are also quite cheap for $15 too, usually they are at least $30 or more. They even have milkshake too, but not sure what standard they are.

I hope next time I visit, their fries are still at that standard, not overcooked, and their frying oil is kept fresh.
