Indeed It's a Tuck Shop tucked neatly behind Hennessey Rd

After I finished dining, I noticed this shop accross the road, it stood out from the rest of the places on this grey street.

 

Anyway, there was bright lights above the name so I could only see "?UCK SHOP"
I saw that from a view in a 10' o Clock direction from my left.
Then when I crossed the road I realised it was TUCK SHOP.

I love Tuck Shops in UK because you can get flying saucers and sherbet fountains.

The one here sold Japanese canned drinks, sweets, crisps and on the corner they have hotdogs, popcorn and they sell coffee and smoothies too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As I just had dinner I decided to get a hotdog without the bun.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

Johnsonville sausage
The hotdogs they use are by Johnsonville and it was grilled and served with Mustard.
It was not as hot as I'd thought it would be but since I was in a hurry it made it easier for me to finish it off and it just tasted like the usual hotdogs.

I wished I got popcorn instead because it looked good too and it seems to be coated in caramel or chocolate because it was dark and glistening. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Deep fried salmon with fresh orange sauce @ 雅涴粉麵茶餐廳

The dish sounded really interesting in Chinese [鮮橙香脆三文魚] it was literally Fresh orange and crispy salmon.
I thought it was going to be how the usual sweet and sour fish but with orange sauce.
Usually when they say FRESH it does not necessarily mean fresh.
I also ordered it because not many Chinese cuisines serve salmon, however there are lots of Chinese cuisines trying to be Western by making baked rices and putting salmon in it.
When it came, it was fried thinly sliced salmon in bread coating.
The texture of the salmon was surprisingly not too fibrous.
The orange sauce really matched the fish, especially because it was watery and had bits of freshly squeezed orange in it.

The other egg dish was also interesting 菜花蜆肉煎蛋, clams and chives omlette.

Grilled beef @ Chili Club

As always the food is great here, decided to post the pictures here and not on a commercial website that reviews food.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Charcoal Grilled Fillet of Beef served with Spicy Sauce

The beef was tender and grilled just right.

The sauce accompanying it was the best, there was lots of lemon juices and finely chopped herbs.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Stuffed Green Mussels in thick Curry Paste

The curry sauce was good but the mussels were frozen ones that lacked the fresh taste.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Baked Rice with Minced Pork and Black Olives

The portion used to be small but now you get loads of rice.

I love the dark soy sauce and chopped up olives.

Thai Pineapple fried rice @ 美食吧

I have never liked pineapple fried rice but this one was nice because they did not add sugar to the rice nor were the pineapples syrupy sweet.

Anyway, I suddenly had an inspiration to make apple fried rice with chicken.
The fine diced apples should be added at the last minute when the fried rice is done so they do not go sour.
The apples should be diced to about 5mm and green apples should be used.

Bumped off da tracks, please get back on track!

I have always wanted to go this place because there are so many choices of broths and noodle combinations to choose from.

Got there late in the afternoon and there were only three people finishing off their tea then.
The air conditioning at the restaurant was quite stuffy so it was lucky that it wasn’t that hot that day, but hot enough that you felt the air conditioning was not adequate.
On my table there were lots of toast crumbs which didnt seem to bother me, but it meant that no one wiped the table after the previous customer left.
I doubt they were busy because there were only three people in the restaurant and about five empty tables.

Again, I learnt another lesson, I should have dined here a few years ago before they changed the menu and when it was on good tracks.
Before they changed the menu, there were so many items that you would have difficulty deciding what to get.
I would have ordered Grilled beef, deep fried squid tentacles if they had them.

OLD MENU:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Pork bone broth
I am not expecting the quality of the broth served at ramen joints but it was so bland and pale.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Bite sized dumpling
I didn’t realise they were that small.
Anyway they reminded me of those miniature Taiwan gyozas that used to be sold in MK a few years ago, it was such a shame I didn’t take pictures of them then.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Courgettes
There were three slices and a total waste of money for $3, they were not fresh and undercooked.
They were still crispy and the bitterness of courgettes were nearly as bitter as bittermelon.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Fried scallops
It was impressive some of the fried items were served separately so they remained crispy.
This was the only item that tasted nice!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hopefully this restaurant gets back on its track and serves the nice noodles it did a few years ago as seen on Openrice.

Kumamoto Prefecture beef noodles @ Ajisen

Tried the Kumamoto Prefecture beef noodles [熊本牛拉麵」

 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

Kumamoto Prefecture beef noodles
When I saw the menu it just reminded me of Taiwanese noodles with beef shin and pickled vegetables.
The presentation looked awful especially the broth.
Anyway, the ramen just tasted how it usually does with pork bone broth however I felt that it was slightly too salty.
The pieces of beef shins were quite big and tender.
As for the pickled vegetables they were my favourite and taste the same as snow cabbage.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

They look off and dehydrated!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
SAME AS ALWAYS the air conditioning at this place is always too cold.
