Soft Cheese bun @ Maxim's

After trying the Gouda cheese buns at Maxim's I decided to try the Soft cheese one as well.
I think I may have tried this before ages ago.

The bun was softer than the Gouda cheese one and it was dusted.

The cream cheese was evidently creamier and not as salty as the Gouda cheese.
I would have liked this bun filled with gouda cheese because I liked the texture of this bun more.

Second visit to Hop Yick, there will be a third

Since my last visit I was craving for more food from Sham Shui Po, the rice rolls and the liver noodles.

This was my first stop.

Last time the sauces made the rice rolls a bit too soggy so this time I asked for it plain.

Rice rolls:
The rice rolls still tasted as delicious as the first visit and after eating the preserved egg, I used that plate as a sauce plate and dip the rice rolls there.
Their soy sauce is quite strong, so you only need a little bit.
For me I liked my rice rolls with soy sauce only, but on my next visit I will try the full thing with ALL the sauces.

Preserved eggs:
These preserved eggs were really mushy, the yolk part had this alkaline taste to it.

Delicious buko pie again @ Quezon Express

After dining at Greyhound and having the coconut crepe, I remembered that Quezon also has a similar pie which also has young coconut meat.
It only costs $10 per slice.

When I got there, they had new items in the cooked section AGAIN!~
Everytime I come here, there is always something new in the cooked section to tempt me to try.
This time I tried the grilled chicken leg.

When you order you can pick two items with rice which costs around $25-27 depending what you pick.
It generally costs more if you pick fish, steak or chicken.

Grilled chicken leg:
The grilled chicken legs looked nice behind the counter even though it was covered in pink/red sauce.
The taste was sweet and the chicken was nicely grilled, however it was hard eating it using the plastic fork and spoon provided.

Bamboo shoots:
I do not know what the dish is called but it was really nice because bamboo shoots were soaked in vinegar and cooked with chili so it tasted spicy as well.
The taste of the bamboo was also woody but it did not have that weird smell the yellow bamboo shoots have.

Buko pie:
This was delicious as expected and I loved the crust because it was soft and not overbaked.
The young coconut was slightly hard this time and needed a knife to cut this pie.
The sweetness was just right as well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
As well as the buko pie, the egg pie is also delicious:
I also like the way they have their own packaging which is made of card so the food doesnt taste and smell of PFC.
