Chinese fried treasures @ 大家姐 chez a grande soeur

Everytime I go past this snack bar, it is always full of people.

So I finally tried it and got hooked on their fried snacks.
They serve good quality fish siumai, not too soft and not too oversteamed.

Their fried treasures are even better, big tofu stuffed with fish patty, the fried fish balls are also good, quite big too.
The chicken satay is also good too, sweet peanut sauce.

Happy restaurant and happy food @ 開心餐廳

So glad this place is finally listed, because the food is good.

I walked past and saw some people eating rice with fried egg and gravy,
lots of gravy too, so I sat down to try that dish.

They offer many combinations: egg and frankfurter sausage, sausage and chicken, beef steak and egg, served with gravy, black pepper gravy or sweetcorn sauce.
I have tried all the sauces, and think the original gravy is the best, although I think there is too much colouring in the gravy. I got some of the gravy on my thumb, and it stained it, hence u can imagine the colour of my intestines.
But anyway the egg is done just right, and you can eat the liquid yoke with the rice.

Reasonably prices around $2x, and a drink is included.

Pandan drink @ 泰國人海南雞 Koon Thai Hai Nam Chicken

I didnt intend to eat here today, but i walked past and saw they had Tamarind juice and Pandan drink.
Hence I got the Pandan one, cos not many places serve this drink in hk.
The last time I had it, was in Elements, obviously at double the price.
Here it only costs $8

I will try the Tamarind one next time.

Worth coming all the way!! @ 神廚館

So bored, so decided to try this restaurant despite being located in an unconvenient place.

When I was arrived, I saw this little restaurant with its brightly colored banner.
The overall restaurant seemed pleasant and surprisingly neat and clean.

Without further ado, I ordered the signiature Squid patty and rice with fish soup.

Fish soup:
White in colour with lots of spring onions and one piece of tofu puff.
Strong taste of white pepper, not much fish could be tasted.
Anyway not bad.

Squid patty, fried egg and rice:
The best combination, the squid patty was chewy, yet there were still bits of ungrounded squid. Pieces of carrots embedded in the patty. The taste of squid is obviously there.
Was so delicous combining the patty, egg and rice together in one mouthful.
I also poured the soy sauce provided, but it acted as a moistener, because the soy sauce was obviously watered down. Finally the shredded seaweed was a good decoration and enhances the overall seafood taste to it.

Heavy dessert afternoon @ BerryGood

I had a photo shoot in Kwai Hing, so I thought I’d try Best Berry after trying Berrygood last time.
Before going, I had an expectation the yoghurt would be similar to BerryGood.

When I got there, the choice of toppings was less than Berry good, but there were more cake and some lunch sets.
In busy Kwai Hing, this café on the isolated corner of the mall is a good place to chat or sit for a while.
However the tables are not big enough, a lot of people were combining tables to make the table space bigger for all the desserts and cakes.

We ordered 3 sets:
Set 1: cheesecake and coffee.
Set 2: Original yoghurt cake, Yoghurt with blueberry sauce, and Yoghurt shake (berry flavour)
Set 3: Strawberry yoghurt cake, Yoghurt with a choice of three toppings, and coffee.

The cheesecake is just an ordinary cheesecake, but the original yoghurt cake was good, a big piece square cake, a thin layer of yoghurt cream on top of the cake, if there was more yoghurt cream in proportion to cake it would taste better, as the cake was too sweet.
As for the strawberry yoghurt cake, it tasted ok, enough yoghurt in proportion to the cake, but the size was smaller compared to the original one. The yoghurt is slightly too sweet.

The drinks were a bit sweet, and I think the set was a bit too heavy, too sickly.
Overall I think I prefer Berry Good, a much lighter option.

Summer donuts @ Krispy Kreme

Got some takeaway donuts from Krispy Kreme, tried 3 of their new flavours out of the 6 choices of lime, mango, melon, pineapple, blueberry and cranberry.

Cranberry:
This was my favourite, since cranberry was sprinkled evenly over the icing, giving it some chew to the donut.

Blueberry:
Not bad, tasted of blueberries too.

Pineapple:
This was my least favorite, since the pineapple flavor was a bit artificial, if it had a little sourness in it, it would mimic the real pineapple taste. Also there was only one piece of the pineapple in the donut, not as good as the cranberry, because that was sprinkled all over.

Cutie cakes @ Petits

After seeing pictures of their mini cakes, I just had to go in and get some.
So I got the Eggy, Baileys, and the white one.

I really liked the eggy, because the topping tastes like marshmallow cream, and the bailey was my favourite too, because of the Jelly topping. As for the other one, it didn’t stand out as much as the other two.
