Vegetarian sushi selection

Shop: Bento Express by AEON (Tseung Kwan O)

I went to Bento Express by Jusco to get some sushi.

While I was choosing the sush, I realised they had VEGETARIAN sushi sets as well so I got that instead!



Again the vegetarian sushi costs more than non vegetarian sushi.
It was late that day and all sushi was at reduced price except the vegetarian one!

Vegetarian sushi:


When I opened the box, there was no wasabi! It was just two sachets of soy sauce
The ones that tasted the best was the vegetarian eel because I hate the eel version because it contains bones and it is always too sweet. The vegetarian version tastes like grounded cooked tuna.
The vegetarian tuna tastes good too because it tastes like the real thing.
The white vegetarian shellfish did not taste that good because the texture was like konjac.

Chicken steak with omelette @ 永盛鮮果汁店

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken steak with omelette:
Went back for more of their stingy chicken because the chicken tastes quite home-made.
This time chose chinese style omelette with pickles and the chicken.
Just as expected only got a few pieces of chicken.
The omelette contained Chinese pickles (choy-poa) which I found too sweet so I didnt like the egg, but the chicken tasted ok.

Black chicken and Chinese herb soup

龍德樓
G/F, 10 Victory Avenue, Ho Man Tin
何文田勝利道10號地下


Discovered this restaurant from a local TV show so went to Victory Road to try this restaurant and this other restaurant.

There were seven soups ranging for $28-$90.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Black chicken and Chinese herb soup:
I chose the black chicken soup because of the black chicken.
When it arrived, I placed the soup ingredients into another bowl and there were two pieces of whelk, one piece of black chicken and other Chinese herbs.
The soup tasted naturally sweet because of the chicken and whelk.
It was really nice so it was worth trying.

Sweet and sour chicken @ Sengdim

Havent had this for a while so decided to get the Sweet and sour chicken because it was new on the menu.

The average price of their set lunch has gone up from $38 to $40 which now includes a soup.

For some lunches the portion size has gone down and they now put the food in flat card boxes.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Soup: Chinese style soup


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sweet and sour chicken:The chicken was rather artificial and it was marinated in soda flour for a quite a long time because it was too soft.
There was no chicken taste and it almost tasted like frozen chicken.
The sweet and sour sauce was slightly too sweet and it was really oily.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mixed rice:
The rice was a bit yellow today but it was still soft and delicious.
If all fails at least rice tastes ok!

Lovely plain Hokkaido icecream

Shop: Kasho Chaya (Causeway Bay)

Came back for their delicious ice-cream!
It is so nice you can never get sick of it.

This time I got plain icecream because I was not interested in the rest of the fancy addons such as red beans, green tea jelly etc.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Hokkaido icecream:


The plain icecream is not a bad deal because you actually get quite a fair amount of icecream in it.
The ice-cream was very dense and thick, yet very airy, with fine air bubbles infused inside.
It was very interesting, because it was like cold thick mousse and gooey marshmallow.

Sanuki udon and cheap tempura

Shop: Udon Dokoro Imasuke (Tai Kok Tsui)

To be honest I do not like Sanuki udon but I only came here because Hyatti was closed.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Udon with sakura shrimp:




There were quite a lot of choices for udon, I wish I chose the one with mountain yam but ended up choosing this one.
The udon here is homemade because it is not quite uniform.
There is nothing wrong with their udon but I have never liked the Sanuki type because it is chewy and tasteless.
The one I ordered was quite tasteless too because there is no sauce on it and the waitress said the soy kelp sauce was for the tempura.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Seaweed prawn tempura:



The batter was quite thick and the oil was slightly rancid.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mochi tempura:
The mochi tempura was tasteless.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The tempuras were quite cheap, they were around $10 per portion.

Back for more Eastern delights

Shop: 京川滬風味小食坊 (Prince Edward)

Since my last visit, the tiny joint has expanded from a 6 seat shop to a slightly bigger joint.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Ribs in sauce:
They provide you with gloves and a bag for the bones.
I have tried this before but this time the meat was not that soft and it did not come off the bones easily.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pearl rice dumplings:
These were minced pork balls covered in moist soft glutinous rice.
They are exactly like Shanghai dumplings but covered in glutinous rice.
The glutinous rice on the outside was really soft and moist it reminded me of wrapped glutinous rice.
Anyway, they taste really nice after you dip them with the magic chili bean sauce provided on the table.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beancurd sheets with kelp:
The beancurd sheets and kelp were well seasoned with vinegar but the beancurd sheets could have been softer.
