Mint chocolate Easter Egg and pate

A cooling and soothing Easter Egg Mar 23, 2013

Scottish mackerel pate:


~smooth pate with soft cheese and a hint of horseradish~
This is my favourite spread for bread so I got it, it was creamy with lots of grounded mackerel.
The taste of soft cheese was light and the horseradish acted as pepper and balanced out the fishy taste of the mackerel.

Bubbly mint truffle egg:



I was purely attracted by the green mint packaging and because it was bubbly chocolate.
It tasted similar to the mint aero but this one was mintier and sweeter.

Prawn burger:
Came back for the prawn burger.


The prawn patty was coated in breadcrumbs, layered with lettuce and drizzled with ketchup.
The bun was delicious with crispy sesame seeds on top.


Overall the prawn burger was nice but the prawn patty did not have much taste.

Lemonade:
The product shot for this looked refreshing and summery so I got it.

I was worried it was going to be really sweet but it turned out to be the opposite!
It was really sour and the lemon taste was really artificial.

Buffet at The Market

green iconic market  

The Market (Tsim Sha Tsui)
The decor and interior of this place reminded me to Hotel Elan, it had style and promotes greeness!

They have the hotel name boldly incorporated on a dining table which can be seen from above.


I have always wanted to try this place for their buffets but it is not near the MTR station.

The name THE MARKET is rather unusual, The Market to me is a place with stalls of vegetables, fishes etc at bricklane.

The buffet here was quite good especially the Chicken tikka, Indian curries and rice.

The puddings were served in cute egg cups, my favourite was the honeydew melon jelly but it was slightly too sweet.

Rickshaw noodles:


As usual I chose vermicelli and tried the marinated quail eggs.
The quail eggs tasted like the packaged ones.
The vermicelli was soft but the broth was not as strong as my previous visit.

Strawberries stingyness

Yumemiya
We dined here because our foodie friend wanted to try the Chocolate rain tea set.

Before we ordered, it was promising to see the tea set that was on the other table next to us had four huge red strawberries (dosnt show 4 strawberries on the photo but I saw four whole strawberries).

Strawberries on another table
However when ours arrived it was two strawberries sliced in half and they argued that they serve strawberries by weight when evidently the other table had much bigger strawberries and whole strawberries too.


our plate!
The taste of the strawberries were nice and sweet.
The texture of the strawberries were much firmer than the usual ones.

We also ordered other stuff, but since we did not get the full portion of strawberries, my review is only featuring half of what we had!
Please refer to the product shot on the Chinese review below and it shows WHOLE strawberries!

Udon tempura is coming

Marugame Seimen
Since my last visit, there are new items on the menu.

They have wasabi inari!


They also had UDON TEMPURA which was not for sale as it was on trial.
They looked like snacks called potato sticks.

Anyway I tried one and the texture and taste was exactly like those potato sticks.

Curry Udon:


I am not fond of Sanuki udon, but this time it was quite nice because it was chewy and al-dente.


The curry sauce was just right and not too spicy.
It would be great if they had a vegetarian version without the beef or burdock curry.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Udon with meat and burdock:


Beef is not really my favourite meat, but the burdock was nice.
At the end, it was not very pleasant because the lard started solidifying.





★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Squid tempura:





The squid was delicious, the batter was light and it was infused with seaweed powder.
The squid was nice and chunky too but not tough.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Salmon omusabi:
This was delicious but disappointing because it did not hold together!
No improvement from my previous visit.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Overall, this place is good for fast food and you can grab what you like from the Tempura bar.
