Hot Pot @ Taste Full Kitchen

Located in Hang Hau, I was surprised this restaurant was quite nice especially the interior. When I entered the restaurant, the logo reminded me of Megan's Kitchen 美味廚 in Wan Chai.
Both these places share the Chinese characters 美味 in the name and they both offer some unique items for the hot pot.
In the end I found out that this restaurant is part of the Victoria Harbour restaurant group.

I chose the broth with pork bones and when it came it was white with some sweet corns, shitaake mushrooms and chives in it. I was expecting it to be tasteless but it was really strong, it was as nice as the broths at Little Fat Sheep so for people who do not favour red meat, the veggies and other items did not turn out to be tasteless due to the broth.
There were lots of spices in the broth too.
As well as the nice broth, they had nice sauces. Although I am allergic to the sichuan sauce, the sichuan sauce was really nice, it was not that spicy but the taste and smell was really aromatic.

======HOTPOT ITEMS====== ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dumplings with truffle:
It was such a waste with the pieces of truffle placed on top, when it is in the hot pot the truffle pieces float away.
The truffle pieces should have been wrapped inside.
The skin was really thick so the filling was hard to cook.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Oysters in the tub:
I was disappointed with the size of these because I have seen bigger before, however I found a tiny pearl that was forming.
The taste was creamy but slightly too mushy.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hiroshima Oysters:
Surprisingly these taste better than the ones in tubs.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Fish maw and fish belly:
These were nice just plainly blanched in the hot pot because the soup broth was strong but after adding the sichuan sauce it was really nice as well.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Apart from Hot Pots I will be back for their dinners because they had some interesting items such as oysters, steamed alaskan crab legs with huadiao wine.

Hot pots and lovely sauces @ Pier 88

I am not a fan of hot pots because it is just meat, meat and meat balls and getting my mouth burnt and not knowing when the food is cooked.

Unless the hot pot broth has a strong flavour, most of the food is tasteless and relies on the sauces.

In this case, they had so many sauces here to enhance the food.
The only item I tried was the fish noodles which are squeezed out from the pouch, forming noodles when it comes into contact with the boiling broth.
The broth was bland so the sauces were heavily relied on.
The noodles were nice and soft and there was some slight MSG in it.
My favourite sauce was the scallop and the bean sauce.

Noodles under the heavy rain @ 家記茶餐廳

Only came here because LAB MADE was not open yet and heavy rain started pouring.

Anyway, ordered the noodles with spicy pork.

I was not expecting it to taste nice but it tasted ok, the temperature of the noodles were piping hot.
There was a layer of spicy oil on top of the noodles and lots of lettuce.
The noodles were just right softness but slightly bland because it did not absorb the broth. I think I was the last customer because the main door was closed and I had to exit from the side!
