Good and cheap vegetarian dishes but rude service @ 珍豆漿豆腐花專門店

Being vegetarian can be expensive especially when the places serve processed vegetarian items such as soybean patties and similar items.

Some of the Chinese style vegetarian dishes are really unhealthy especially the soft tofu puffs in sweet and sour sauce, curry sauce etc.

I have always wanted to try this place but you have to battle with the busy traffic, air pollution and smokers before you get there.

I like the variety at this place and the prices are fairly inexpensive.

Before coming I called to make an order but as the it was noisy on their end and they couldn’t hear they just slammed down the phone which I thought was a rude.

Anyway, went there another time and ordered the spare ribs with preserved vegetables and rice and I also wanted to get the prawn dumplings however it was discontinued so I changed to some other vegetable dumpling.

 

When I started eating it, people who did not know this dish was vegetarian asked if it was spare-ribs so they must have looked like spare ribs.

 

Overall it was really nice and oil free, however the preserved vegetables were not washed and there was plenty of sand in it and the rice had a piece of man made fibre/hair.

As for the dumpling it was fairly nice with sweetcorns and mushrooms inside.

 

Fried mushrooms @ Cube Square

This branch used to be located in Hung Hom but it was too far and not near any MTR stations.

I was glad they opened in Wan Chai and was planning to get some snacks from there especially the fried mushrooms.

 

 

However I prefer the choice at Hung Hom because they had fried soft shell crabs and the pieces of chicken had fried basil leaves as well.

I was also attracted to the Hung Hom branch because they had eight seasoning powders: chili, seaweed, lemon, cheese, wasabi, plum and more.

However after I ordered the mushrooms I found out that they did not have the lemon seasoning or the cheese

 

Also the staff who was frying the mushroom was severly sick, he was constantly sneezing and coughing!
I was so afraid my mushrooms would turn into poisonous mushrooms!!!

Anyway, the mushrooms were Ok, juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, I only had a few incase they were infected!

 

Hope that staff gets well soon LOL!!

On my next visit, I hope that they will have the full condiment range and the soft shell crabs.

They had fried chicken drumsticks as well but it was hard to notice because it was right on the top!

 

Hairy chili sauce!

After putting some chili sauce on the sauce dish, noticed some black thing, on closer inspection it seemed to be eyebrow hair or an eyelash!

Breakfast selection @ Maxim's bakery

I wonder if their eggs are cooked there because the egg sandwiches taste really nice and it was warm as well.

The bun version has ham or luncheon meat to choose from.

I prefer the sandwiches because the bun is the typical Chinese sweet buns.

Lemon and French Vanilla froyo @ Yoppi

Most froyos tastes the same these days and alot of new Froyo places are closing and opening fast.
I only try them these days if they have unique toppings or unique froyo flavours or a unique taste.

Anyway, Yoppi has stores internationally from Thailand to USA.

The froyo that I came for was the Lemon and because it was self service I chose French Vanilla as well.
For toppings, I just chose jelly, mochi and strawberries.
I tried the Lemon froyo first because if I had the sweet vanilla first then it would make the Lemon taste extremely sour.

The lemon was really nice and strong, it was citrusy and tasted nice as a froyo.
As for the French vanilla it was sweet as expected and it was nice with the chewy mochi and fruits complimenting it.
