A delight for Choi Hung expats

Subway
If you have been to Choi Hung, there is ABSOLUTELY no Western food about!!

I was so glad to see this open!!!

Interestingly I began to see expats around the area which is a rare sight because I don't often see expats in Choi Hung except locals.

The new Subway is located in the MTR station where QQ Rice used to be near Hang Sang's ATM machines.

Veggie delight:



The sub was a bit annoying because the bread was really sticky as the person who made it obviously had sticky gloves on.
I chose the mustard sauce and the rest in the sub were tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, green peppers, and gherkins.
The sub was delicious as always with the juicy tomatoes and acidic American mustard sauce.

Vegetarian Thai food

Great place but food needs more fine tuning.

Meals come with soup, salad and tea.

It was amusing watching the guy attempt to balance the fork on the bowl.
I don't think the bowl was designed to have a fork put on it so they should have placed the fork on the table.

The salad was fresh but the sauce was too sweet and killed it. What was supposed to be healthy made unhealthy but it had nice mustard seeds in it.

The soup was pumpkin and ginger but I don't like ginger.

The main dish was really good but again they need to fine tune the salt and sugar they put in it because it was too sweet and salty. Again a healthy dish made unhealthy
However the spiciness was just right.

I desperately needed more rice to finish the rest of the dish but you get charged for extra rice, so I was still quite hungry after the meal.

The couple next to me complained about their sweet and sour dish because there were only two pieces of vegetarian meat and they joked that it should be called mixed fruit and not sweet and sour meat!!

Lastly, I could not drink the tea because it was rose and mint, the two things i hate the most.

Pacific Coffee's Chicken schnitzel

I was really hungry so got the Chicken schnitzel because I have tried the quiches, bagels and other stuff.

Chicken schnitzel:




The chicken schnitzel tasted better than my expectation because I thought the chicken was going to dry after being reheated, however the chicken was crisp and juicy sandwiched with lots of lettuce and tomato.
The bun had lots of dried seeds such as sunflower seeds, flax seeds and maize which gave it an extra bite of flavour too.
Although it tastes really good, I always feel thirsty for the whole day after eating sandwiches from Pacific Coffee!

Quiche of the month: mushroom and broccoli

I was checking out the new joint opposite which was why I was on this street.

La Rotisserie happened to have the mushroom and broccoli quiche which I haven't tried before so decided to get it.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mushroom and broccoli quiche:


The quiche had lots of mushrooms and broccoli but the taste was a bit bland and it lacked a cheesy taste.

Sense Dessert Cafe now in Kowloon

I was early for a tasting so stumbled upon this new branch of Sense Dessert.


A while ago I made a trek into Yuen Long to try this place.

Furano 3.7 milk pudding and Earl grey (with meringue):

Note: The product shot and actual dessert look slightly different because there is no cream as shown on the picture.

The earl grey was really milky and creamy with a strong earl grey taste, while the meringue was really sweet on its own.



After combining the two, the creaminess of the earl grey was balanced by the sweetness of the meringue pieces.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Coffee icecream:

Not my favourite flavour, but it tasted ok.
This was given free to every customer during their trial operations period.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Water was not given, but provided if you ask because the table next to me asked and they gave it to them.
It would have been nice if they offered me some water as well while they are at it!!

New secret hideout in central

A while ago I stumbled upon this new branch of Dolci 2/3 when I went to Holly Brown.

It was going to open that day but as I was busy I came back another day.


A few days later, I had a tasting in central, so the new branch was a perfect place to have a drink beforehand.

Although Dolci is famous for gelatos and cakes, they had pies and quiches.

quiches and pies
There are sandwiches if you need something more filling.

Baguettes
For the gelatos, they had 14 choices to choose from!!!

14 flavours!!!!!
A lovely tea selection.

Salmon quiche $30:


The salmon quiche was really good because the thickness of the pastry was just right.
I loved the hints of cheese and chunky pieces of salmon embedded in the quiche.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pistachio florentine:

Made with 66% French chocolate, pistachios and crunchy caramel.
This was divine, you could see there was so much pistachio in it and some crunchy caramel that held it together coated in chocolate.
It was like eating a lovely pistachio brittle and each element did not over power each other.
The texture and taste of the caramel was really nice because it was crunchy with a roasted taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Earl grey tea:

To finish off I had my favourite Earl grey tea which had loose leaves in the teabag that give it that rich earthy aromatic taste.

Tofu Korrito

I love their Korrito rolls so came back for more.
On my previous visit, ordered the beef K Roll which I did not like because it was too sweet.





★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tofu Korrito:




The Tofu roll was just colourful and neatly sliced.
You could see the leafy green lettuce and fresh purple cabbage with crunchy pieces of fried bits and tofu in the middle.
Each mouthful was packed with freshness of the vegetables and the sweetness of the honey sauce complemented by the tofu in the middle.
The only problem was that it was slightly messy to eat because it kept falling apart.
