Misocool i-s-o-oily
Misocool (將軍澳)
http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/commentdetail.htm?commentid=2286380
The first time I dined at Misocool was at their first branch in Quarry Bay.
After that visit, I did not dine at Misocool again until they had froyo at their isquare branch.
http://www.openrice.com/english/restaurant/commentdetail.htm?commentid=2050802
I was surprised to see that they have a new branch at MetroCity because it is located in the suburban side of the city.
Although recently there has been so many new restaurants opening at Metro city such as Pasta Marche and Spaghetti 360.
I only tried it this time because of their new dishes.
Frankly the earlier menu at Quarry Bay was quite limited and served mainly noodles.
Now they have western dishes, froyo and lots of other snacks and the prices were not as expensive as it used to be.
The tables and decor are much nicer at this branch in comparison with Quarry Bay.

Mixed spaghetti with stir-fried garlic beef $48:
This was quite cheap for $48.
I liked the mix of squid ink spaghetti and ordinary spaghetti. It was quite nice to start of because the garlic taste was strong, however the beef did not taste that fresh.
After finishing the spaghetti, I realised they put so much oil in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Grilled fish filet with scrambled cheese and Japanese rice:
The grilled fish was a piece of salmon and it tasted extremely fishy and the fish was quite dry.
The rice was not cheesy and tasted very milky and creamy.
The peppers and onions ruined it because it tasted stronger than the rice in cream sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Hokkaido milk Froyo float with cream soda and popping boba:
Lastly the drink was the best because froyo is not as sweet as ice-cream so it tastes really nice when you mix it with the cream soda.
As a personal preference, I would prefer the drink without the popping boba balls because they taste really artificial and syrupy.

Stingray! Stingray! Stingray! Stingray!
薄荷葉泰國菜 (元朗)
Mint House
http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/commentdetail.htm?commentid=2286381
Tagged along with some friends to this restaurant because I wanted to try Sense Dessert nearby.
The portions at this place were big.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Salt and pepper stingray:
This was the highlight of the meal because I have never tried it before.
The texture of the stingray and its bones are similar to SKATE!
It was really worth trying and I loved the salt and pepper seasoning.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Grilled pork neck:
The salad that came with it was big and there was so much meat on the plate.
The pork tasted nice with the refreshing sauce and it was not too dry or fatty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Clethra Loosestrife Herb soup with tofu:
I loved this soup because the taste was strong and slightly bitter.

Six good friendsの六樓后座@六座雲吞店
6座雲吞麵 (佐敦)
Six Noodle
http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/commentdetail.htm?commentid=2286385
I do not usually go for Wonton noodles but went here with some friends.
While we were going to order, they asked the waitor so many questions and he was surprisingly patient and willing to answer us which is rare in Hong Kong.
Apart from that, I loved the simplicity at this joint, the Chinese characters were really cute, they were all designed to look like SMILES.
The other handwritten menu was nice and simple too.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Wonton noodles:
The noodles were quite nice and the portion was big for $2X.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Satay sauce:
The satay sauce was the best.
It does not taste like the usual sweet satay sauces.
It was strong and tasted a little bit like curry and it was really nice adding it to the noodles.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Single boned chicken wings:
These chicken wings were impressive because the larger bone had been removed making it easier to eat.
The chicken wings were dusted with dessicated coconut.
While we halfway through the food, the owner found out that one of our friend's friend knows them, and they gave us more chicken wings.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The experience eating here was fun and there were six of us as well which reminded me of the film Sixth floor rear flat (六樓后座).

Double scoop of Mint leaves & chocolate ice cream
http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/commentdetail.htm?commentid=2286387
Häagen-Dazs (太古)
I was craving for HD's Mint leaves & chocolate ice cream and luckily I had a $50 coupon from OpenRice, so I got two scoops.
For both scoops I chose Mint leaves & chocolate because it is now my favourite flavour.
The price has slightly gone up because it used to be $52 for two scoops and now it costs $54.
The ice cream tasted really nice and minty with pieces of dark chocolate every now and then.
It was good that they did not use artificial colouring to make it green like the other brands.

A wonderful cookie assortment @ Cookie Galerie
曲奇薈 (上環)
Cookie Galerie
Thanks to 糖小妹 for these cute cookies.
She gave me the Tea box selection which has the following inside:
Rose, Lavender, green tea, coffee, chocolate, oat and fig.
As well as the Tea box selection, Cookie Galerie also do a Nut selection, Chocolate selection and Chinese selection with Momordica fruit cookies.
They even do Palmier's with flossy pork and Sweet osmanthus.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tea box selection:
The cookies were really cute and colourful with different shapes.
The sweetness was just right and oat and fig was the best because it was nice and sweet.
The green tea was nice and the green tea flavouring was not too grassy and visually I liked the colour.

Cheese and ham toast @ La Rose Noire Bakery
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cheese and ham toast:
I have always wanted to try this but every time I go to La Rose Noire Bakery, they are always on display and it seems they have been sitting there for half a day.
Luckily they heat it up for you but I still prefer them freshly done and ready to go because after they are heated up the cheese is hard.
The toast and cheese was slightly hard and dry as expected but it still tasted quite nice because it was cheddar and ham on toast.
