Japanese sets @ 大喬日本料理 Daikyo Japanese Cuisine

Ordered two sets, lots of sauces accompanying the dishes, and the food was good.
The only thing that let the meal down was the "large" clam soup as stated on the menu and pictured by others.

From pictures posted, the clam was nearly as big on the bowl, but it was tiny, after complaining, was given another bowl, not slightly bigger, but I believe so they can get a good review here.

Anyway the beef was good, I am not a beef eater, but the beef here is perfect, thinly sliced beef wrapped with spring onion inside.

 

 

 

 

 

Peanut butter snowflake ice @ 甜品大少 Mr. Sweetheart

After trying their signature items previously, was not expecting myself to come back again so soon.

This time I came here to try its grated ice dessert, tried most of the flavours in various dessert place, this time tried the peanut one.
I wasnt quite sure how it would taste, ie if it would have crushed peanuts in it, but probably not, as it might break down the ice grater!!

The taste of the grated peanut flavoured ice was better than imagined, buttery and creamy just like peanut butter in frozen form, less salty than real peanut butter and velvety texture.
Had coco pops as a topping, which went quite well.

The other vanilla one was rather boring, but coming here, it made me try the chiuchow jelly as a topping, chewy cubes of flour.

I was quite impressed with the menu too, and the translation was correct too, such as coco pops, and chiu chow jelly.

 

International choices of curry @ 專業咖喱皇 Curry Expert King

I am a curry lover, especially the Indian type, the variety here is quite good, but geared towards the Indian taste of the strong herbs.

There are lot of curries, ie English, Malay, Argentina, Sweet and Sour, Mango, Italian etc.

I ordered English thinking it would be the pub type with raisins and apricots, which is was not, I was told it contains milk, but anyway it tasted good.
Also ordered the Sweet and Sour one with tomatoes, could not taste the tomatoes or the sourness, but still strong on the Indian side.
Same with the Italian one, couldnt taste the cheese and potato.

The good thing with the curries, you can select the level on how hot you want it, the Indian Naan is better than the other places because it is the dry non oily type.

Tofu drink @ 豪江豆業 Macau Soybean

Usually sweet tofu is served from the wooden buckets and into bowl, with yellow sugar added according to each persons taste.

I was intrigued by this place, as they have it in drink form.

For $5 I got a cup of sweet tofu with tapioca pearls in it. I have tried Soya milk before, but not Sweet tofu as a drink.
Apart from tapioca pearls, you can also choose red beans in it, as the other option.

The whole drink is not aesthetically pleasing, it looks like puke, but it tastes good, not sweet, but a bit savory, almost like cooked tofu. There was however a slight tinge of sourness.

As for the staff, they assume you know what it is, not that willing to explain.
I had to guess the price of the drink, as she didnt tell me how much it was.

 

Spinach noodles in tomato soup @ 羅坤發粉麵 Lo Kwan Fat Noodles

After seeing the appetising pictures posted on Openrice, I was there to try the spinach noodle in tomato soup, honestly if the noodle had been white or yellow, I probably wouldn’t have read the review in much detail, but it turns out the green noodle is spinach noodle.

When I got there, I poked the picture of it, and didn’t know what “ngau gan” was, as I couldn’t see clearly from their picture, so asked the waitress.
Anyway I got this very impressive answer; well “ngau gan” is just “ngau gan”!

It turns out when I got the noodles, the “ngau gan” is just beef tendons.

The bowl was filled with halved tomatoes, plenty of beef tendons and the green spinach noodles.

Took a sip at the soup, not very sour, but not artificial tomato soup, as for the noodles not that tasty, but after waiting a while for it to soak up the soup, it was ok.
As for the beef tendons, I selectively ate them, as they usually contain animal hair in them.
It was quite soft, and strong in that beef belly marinade.

The place was not as clean as described, but OK to eat there.

 

Chinese French toast with hash browns @ KFC

Went to KFC for breakfast, already had in mind to order the chicken and cheese muffin, however saw this new sandwich, chicken, egg, hash brown sandwiched in between the Chinese French fried toast, the one dipped in egg and fried.

It looked big on the picture, but not that big when I got it, the chicken, egg, potato were not on top of each other, but laid side by side, so the sandwich was manageable.

Tasted ok, but the bread was slightly wet and soggy. There could have been more sauce, and the sauce wasn’t as orange as shown on their product photo.
I think if the muffin, had these ingredients, I would opt for muffin, not a great fan with french fried toast.
