Go under the bridge for CRAB delights

Eating here was memorable and an invaluable experience as I have never officially had crab from a restaurant that specializes in crab.

While we were there, we filmed this food show called 食得招積.







★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

We started off with steamed crab in HuaDiao wine.



The steamed egg white was amazing because it was silky and full of wine flavour, while the crab was springy with a fermented wine taste.

Then we had the congee which was loaded with baby oysters, rice and thinly shredded ginger in a delicious sweet fish broth.



To finish off, we had the stir fried noodles in crab oil.

Each strand of noodle was evenly coated with fragrant crab oil balanced by the yellow chives.

Michelin style seafood at Sing Kee

This was my second time dining at Sing Kee.

The first time was rather memorable because it was my first proper seafood meal in Sai Kung and the first time meeting Gaufu.
It was even more memorable this time because I got to meet Chef Chau and film 食得招積 at Sing Kee Seafood Restaurant.

I got to eat my favourite abalone again which is cooked in two ways.
The pot contains fresh abalone cooked in sauce braised from dried abalone which gives it a rich flavour.
There is so much sauce which makes it good for dipping or as a delicious gravy with rice.

Then there is crispy abalone which is coated in a lovely light coating infused with garlic, pepper and their secret spices which does not over power the natrual taste of the abalone.


The second dish was the spicy crab which had a nice medley of flavours, it was spicy but had a nice pungent taste of egg yolk on the coating.


Lastly we had Chilled razor clams in secret sauce.


This dish was rather unique and great for the hot summer because it was extremely refreshing with chopped garlic, sesame seeds sprinkled on it.
The clam meat has been detached from the shells so you can just grab it with chopsticks and eat away with ease.

Durian gelato from Honeymoon dessert

Not everyone likes Durian so it was hard to get people to try it with me.

At Honeymoon Dessert, they have got this new Durian Gelato!!!!

It costs $38 per tub.

50% off if you dine there and order Durian desserts.

As well as durian gelato, they have this new green tea jelly dessert which I want to try too.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Durian gelato:


The durian smell is not that strong because icecreams don't really give off smells.

Anyway, I was quite impressed because it actually had pieces of durian flesh in it and the taste was natrual, however it can be a bit sweet.

The texture of the gelato was a little icy and could have been smoother.

Wasabi smoked salmon nori

Pret A Manger have launched these new nori wraps which add a little Japanese twist to the wraps by adding a layer of nori to it.

There is Salmon or Chicken.

The Wasabi smoked salmon nori contains: smoked salmon, wasabi, pickled daikon and ginger, spinach, cucumber and mayo.

The Bang Bang chicken nori contains: chicken, pickled carrot and ginger, nori, spinach, red pepper, cucumber, roasted sesame and sesame dressing.

I chose the salmon because it had all the fillings that I liked.

The green goodness looked good but I was already having the miso soup.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Wasabi smoked salmon nori:


The wrap was made so much nicer with the nori (seaweed) because it gave it an extra touch of umami but it made the wrap quite tough to eat because the nori was soft and chewy.
The daikon (Chinese radish) gave it a lovely crunch with a pickled taste which went well with the salty smoked salmon and wasabi dressing that gave it a good Japanese kick to it.
It also had pickled ginger in it too but I picked it out because I don't like it.


Miso soup:
The miso soup tastes lighter than the ones you get in Japanese restaurant, but it was ok for me because I don't get so thirsty after drinking it.

These were the juices I liked.
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
greens 3:
apple, celery, cucumber, ginger, kale, lemon, lettuce, parsley, spinach

The greens 3 was refreshing because it had lemon juice and my other favourite greens.
This was the ultimate one for me as it was natural and unsweetened.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
boxed water:


I got this because I liked the carton.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
almond mylk:
almonds, dates, filtered water, sea salt, vanilla bean

For the sweet drinks, I loved this one because it had a strong vanilla taste and it was quite thick and filling.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
zest 4:
coconut, cucumber, lemon, pineapple
The zest 4 was soothing and appetizing because of the pineapple and coconut.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Everyone has different preferences, the three above reflect the flavours I like.

Nyonya Comes to Sai Ying Pun

Malaysian food comes to Sai Ying Pun!!!

Nyonya Coming is a small joint located on the corner of Water Street.
There are about six seats inside but no air conditioning so it is sweltering if you eat there.
I haven't been to Malaysia before but it feels like Malaysia because it is so hot in there.

The menu is really good because there are quite a lot of choices of vegetarians ranging from vegetarian laksas and curries with a choice of pumpkin or okra.

A joke for Hongkongers or those who can read Chinese.

The food there was really affordable so I ended up ordering lots of stuff.

They also had kaya toast which is the new hype at Ka Yun.

Here was what I ate over three visits.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pandan drink:

This was made with freshly grounded pandan leaves, I loved the aromatic pandan taste but it was too sweet.
It tasted better after diluting it with water.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Okra vegetarian laksa:

The laksa was slightly different to the ones I had because it lacked coconut milk but I don't like coconut milk anyway.
The soup was quite savoury and not too spicy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Kaya toast:

The toast was perfectly toasted with delicious kaya spread in the middle.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Durian egg tart:

The egg tart was interesting, it was an eggtart with shortcrust pastry topped with durian spread and fresh durian flesh.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Durian kaya toast:


Compared to the kaya toast, this one tasted better because it was not as sweet and it had both durian and kaya in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Vegetarian pumpkin curry:

I loved this curry because the spiciness was mild and appetizing.
It had pieces of pumpkin which gave it a hint of sweetness that balanced the spiciness.

Pleasure time having crepes at Leisure Time

I was having a food tour at Sai Yung Pun and this place captivated me because of the beautiful deco, it was dreamy and relaxing.
Even their toilet felt like a palace.

On my Sai Yung Pun tour, the restaurants I went to were:
Nyonya Coming, Homelite Coffee (which can't seem to be listed on Openrice) and Eat my cakes.

This little gem was hotel standard from the uniform the owner was wearing to the Sachertorte cakes that they serve.
The owner makes their own marshmallows and corned beef too.

The crepes were surprisingly good because I had bad experiences from the local Japanese and Chinese crepes which are too sweet with too much aerosol cream.

The crepes they serve here are basically English pancakes which are thin and soft rolled with fillings.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Avocado and brie croissant:


Started off with the irresistible croissant because it had my favourite avocado and brie.
The avocado and brie paired nicely giving a lovely creamy and buttery tone to the flakey croissant.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Savoury cheese, tomato and mushroom crepe:

This was seriously good because the pancake base was not overly sweet like the ones at Mazazu.
The simple cheese, tomato and mushroom filling tasted good and the French dressing helped to bring all the flavours together.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Smoothie:

I was surprised by the smoothie too because I was expecting it to be too sweet but it wasn't.
It was refreshing with tones of banana, strawberry and pineapple.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
I will be back for the corned beef and marshmallows!!!!
