Oyster sauce made with REAL HIROSHIMA Oysters

I have always wanted to eat here because of their luxurious noodles with foie gras and truffle, however Tai Kok Tsui is really hard to locate!

Anyway finally found it but I went during the day so I couldnt order the noodles with foie gras but I ordered the signature preserved egg and noodles with oyster sauce and foie gras oil.

Preserved egg From the photos this preserved egg looks so cool! The preserved yolk is molten.
When it came it was exactly like the ones in the previous reviews.
The texture of the preserved egg is mushier than the usual preserved eggs that when you pick it up with chopsticks the preserved egg white breaks.
The taste of the preserved egg yolk was really strong and delicious.

Preserved ginger Initially I thought it was boring sweet pickled ginger but I was wrong.
I appreciated the way they did not use colouring to make it pink.
The taste was really sour and I loved it and I ate all of it, and it was really refreshing to finish off with that after eating a really strong tasting preserved egg.
The pickled ginger is preserved themselves.

Oyster sauce
When I ordered I thought the oyster sauce would be seperate from the foie gras oil.
I usually ask them not to give me the oyster sauce because I do not like the Lee Kum Kee type.
Anyway when it came the oyster sauce looked different so I gave it a try and I was amazed!
It had real oyster taste, the Hiroshima oyster type.
The only complaint was that it was too sweet, but it went nice with the noodles and the lettuce.
As for the foie gras oil I could vaguely taste it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Lettuce The lettuce was nicely blanched and the soup was really nice and not water as I initally thought, so the lettuce had taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Noodles I loved these egg noodles and the lovely oyster sauce really enhanced it.

Next time I will come back in the evening and try the truffle noodles. Tissues:

Home made pate with cognac and thai dessert @ Greyhound

Homemade Pate‚ with Cognac and Fresh Green Peppercorns
Ordered this because I needed to eat something before eating a sweet dessert.
The pate was really smooth but the cognac was not strong enough.
The fresh green peppercorns were really interesting, they were not solid inside, when you bite into them they burst open with juice!
The peppercorns were not hot as I imagined but the skin of the peppercorn was where the peppercorn taste came from.

Last time I did not try this so I came back to try it again.
Basically it is a scoop of young coconut sorbet with coated waterchestnuts.
The sorbet was sweeter than the one I tried previously and this one was icier and it had less young coconut meat in it.
The coated waterchestnuts were nice and crunchy with some gellish texture outside.

Harringtons anyday anytime would be great

I love my perfect Sunday roast and I found it ! Right here in Harringtons!

Shame it is only served on Sundays.

Anyway for $228, there is a choice of starters, roast at the carvery table and dessert.

From the moment I stepped in the restaurant it just felt like home, well spaced out tables and resonable high ceilings.

My table was by the window, and the air conditioning was just right, it was not like a refrigerator and it was natural, gentle relaxing breezes.
Although there is not much of a view from the window, but the bushes by the window were really comforting and I don’t know why.
Along with all that there was BLUR and other songs playing in the background smile
There were no bugs or flies on them and it did not have any strong plant smell.

The tiling on the floor was a familiar scene too.
On the previous review, it said “the fish pie was to die for” but I wanted the roast, so I ordered both!
But in general, if the food is real pure British food, it can’t taste wrong!

For starters there were two I really wanted to choose which was either the prawn cocktail or the crab cakes.
In the end I chose the crabcakes, and for dessert I chose Strawberries and cream.

Fish Pie
The same comment as the previous reviewer, it was really to die for.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Crab cakes
These were delicious but the crab cakes were tiny!
The crab cakes were made with 98% crabmeat.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Roast from the carvery
Its hard to see from the pictures because of the red lamp, but there was swede, roast parsnips and carrots.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Strawberries and cream
Although it was just simply strawberries and cream, it was just simply delicious. The cream was thick and tasted similar to clotted cream but a whipped version, it was slighlty sweetened.
It would be great if there was more cream, because I was eating it sparingly.
