Super star Nepalese Mo Mo, Thukpa and Chaumin

Although this place is called 2star's, it is worth more Stars in my opinion.

I have never tried Nepalese food but there is one in Central which is up the hill and there is another one there by in Wan Chai however that shop does not look so welcoming.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2star's stood out behinds the stalls and its red colour design reminded me of Pakora that used to be located in Causeway Bay which also had the delicious Tandoori Chicken leg.

Apart from Nepalese food there was also Philipino style fried fish and Indian dishes, but as I havent tried Nepalese food I ordered the Nepalese dumplings, soup noodles, and fried noodles and an Indian curry.
The only disadvantage is that there is no air conditioning, so it is a real torture in the summer.

Nepalese dumplings
In Nepalese they are called Mo Mo and there are two shapes in Nepal, one that looks the same as Shanghai dumplings and the other looks like steamed Potstickers.
The ones that were served here looked like Potstickers.
There were three different MoMo's: Chicken, pork or Vegetarian and I chose the Pork.
Inside the MoMo it was quite similar to the Chinese ones except that they have purple onions inside and not chives.
The purple onions gave it a really nice flavour.
These dumplings are served with soy sauce and spicy sauce (corner of the picture) which is watery and made of pureed chilis and other spices which is extremely hot!

Chicken soup noodles:
As I have not tried Nepalese noodles before I did not know what they would look like but they really surprised me.
The noodles are similar to the Chinese thick noodles which become soft when they absorb the broth.
Although the noodles look simple, it was delicious. It was plain chicken broth with generous chopped mustard greens, coriander and purple onions and some chicken.
The mustard greens had this lovely bitterness that made the soup bitter and I really liked it.
Anyway the presentation of these noodles look like those noodles served in Mun Nam but the soup here is not so thick.
I really loved it because there was lots of finely chopped mustard greens and the strong taste of the mustard green in the soup.
In Nepalese it is called Thukpa
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

Stir fried noodles
The noodles here were the same type as above but stir-fried and it looked and tasted like the Chinese style.
In Nepalese it is called Chaumin.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

Indian lamb curry
Apart from lamb curry there was also other vegetables that were nice and the soup was really nice.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

Soup
The soup was wholesome and there were some spices and pulses.

Peach Agar pudding @ 麗姐私房曲奇

I was surprised to see a cookie shop on this street and it was new one so went in.
This shop has other branches in Causeway Bay and Happy Valley.

 

The owner is from Singapore and sells Asian style cookies such as meat floss rolls and egg floss rolls.

 

They also had cakes but I was disappointed they didn’t have the famous Singaporean Pandan cake or Pandan flavoured items.

 

I was not hungry that time so I just got a Pearl barley drink and an Agar Pudding. The Agar pudding had three flavours: Pineapple, peach and egg.
I tried the peach because it was different.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

Pearl Barley drink
The drink was light and refreshing and not too sweet.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

 

Peach Agar Pudding
Quite sweet and the agar had peach flavouring.
There was also real pieces of peach in the agar pudding too.
The peaches were canned peaches.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Croissant @ Delifrance in Hong Kong

I don't usually buy from Delifrance because the bakery is localised in Hong Kong but decided to get some croissants to spread some Pate on it.

Anyway the croissant was $9 and because Delifrance is celebrating its opening, there was a free Croissant with every purchase.

 

 

See picture:
Croissant on the right was the free one.

Anyway I ate the free croissant first.
The free one was crispier and I knew it was the free one because the one I was picked was soft.
I was a bit shocked because it was savoury and it was sweet as well.
After I finished it, I ate the soft one that I bought, it was also savoury with some sweetness as well but not as sweet as the complimentary one.

Luckily it was buy one get one free because it worked out cheaper per croissant.
I doubt I would get their croissants again because they are localised and taste sweet.

This delifrance branch has a limited range on the ground floor and the full range is served upstairs.

Another good Dining Concept's restaurant

It is one of the Dining Concept's restaurants and the food was good just like other restaurants under that company.

The only thing that let it down was the table allocation.

I booked a table and when I got there it was only 10% full, even when I left the restaurant was pretty empty so I couldnt understand why i was not given a spacious table.

 

 

Apart from that the food was delicious, I had the chicken pasta that day and it was so delicious, the pasta was al-dente and the basil flavouring was strong.
It was slightly too salty though.
