Baked rice @ 天藍坊

On my last visit I saw them prepare baked rice and after I saw them prepare the baked fish with spinach I had to give it a try.
Although it takes a while for the food to be ready, it is definately worth the wait.

The fish was baked from raw so that was why I tried it because I was expecting it to be moist and tender.

It is also interesting that they use a dish as a base and then put foil over it to form a bowl, once it is baked, the foil becomes the dish and they put that into a PVC box.

 

 

As the baked rice was really delicious I came back for the baked salmon and rice and tried the chicken wings as well.

Baked rice with fish and spinach:

 

 

I was just expecting the fish to taste good because I was expecting the rice to be the usual Chinese style egg fried rice beneath it but it was plain Japanese pearl rice which was even better.

 

I do not usually bother ordering baked rices in Hong Kong because the rice beneath it is fried rice and has an oily smell after it has been baked.
However the pearl rice was delicious and matched very well with their sauce because it tasted like risotto.
The rice was quite hard but it was quite nice and I wish there was more spinach.

Baked rice with smoked salmon:

 

The normal version contains surimi crab meat but as they ran out of that it was salmon and sweetcorn only with mushrooms to replace the crabmeat.
Again this was delicious and the sweetcorn tasted natural.

Baked spaghetti with seafood:

 

The spaghetti was nice and al-dente.

Chicken wings with lemon and honey:

 

The chicken wings were partially fried and coated with lemon sauce with real pieces of lemon in it.
It would have been great if one of the bones was removed then it would be easier to eat.

Next time I will try the baked rice with chicken in cream sauce.

Haggis spaghetti @ The Canny Man

Had the haggis spaghetti lunch set which includes soup/salad, ice cream and drinks.

Pumpkin soup:
The soup was just the usual soup.

Haggis spaghetti:

 

Basically it was spaghetti sprinkled with Macsween's haggis.

 

It was really nice but at the bottom there was too much oil and the crushed garlic over powered the haggis.
It would have been great if there was more haggis.

Ice-cream:
This was vanilla icecream with chocolate syrup drizzled on top.

Tea:
Lovely hot tea served with milk.

Children's egg white dessert @ Lung Fung Cafe

On my last visit they had a large egg white dessert that was served after nine and you would need quite a few people to share the dessert.

 

However this time I walked past they had a junior version of the dessert for $39 so I decided to try it.

It was really good because they had a variety of choices for the egg white dessert such as red beans, green beans, mixed fruit, grass jelly, coco de nata and pineapple.

 

In the end I chose grass jelly.

Junior egg white dessert with grass jelly:

 

 

When it came, it was a bowl containing a scoop of dreyer's vanilla icecream (acc to the menu) at the bottom surrounded with grass jelly and topped with whipped egg white.

 

Compared to the large version, the whipped egg white was not baked but I wonder if it was meant to be baked.

It was decorated with cocoa powder and chocolate syrup.

Overall the taste was really nice and not too sweet because the icecream and whipped egg white complimented the grass jelly nicely.
It was an interesting pairing of Chinese jelly with western dessert elements.

There is now a branch in Wan Chai which I have not checked out yet, but it would be interesting if they were located next to the other Lung Fung restaurant near the historic blue house.
