I got these curls because they reminded me of quavers but the texture was slightly crispier.
It had a really strong chili kick to it and I loved the tones of sourcream.

Pandamania
I am not a fan of pandas but tried their curry because the presentation was quite creative.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Curry chicken:
Decapitated panda head!!
To start off the curry was a little too salty and there were only three pieces of thinly sliced chicken.
As for the star of the show, the rice was too hard because it got dehydrated in the fridge or when it was heated in the microwave, you could see that the edges of the rice have gone translucent so the texture of the rice was really hard and sharp that I cold not really eat it.
Anyway, the portion size was small so I was still quite hungry and regretted not ordered the soba noodles as well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
taro pudding:
The taro pudding was nice because it was creamy with a mild taro taste, the only thing that let it down was that it was too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Watermelon jelly:
It is clever how they scooped out the flesh and poured watermelon jelly in it mixed with sesame seeds to make it look like a real melon when it is sliced.
As I don't like watermelon, I did not order it, but Loving Hut had an orange jelly ages ago in 2009.

The future of Wharf Road without Hung's Delicacies
This used to be an ordinary car mechanics street in North Point before Hung's Delicacies got famous.
As well as Hung's Delicacies, Yat Woon Min used to be a few doors away.
Now with the two stars gone, I wonder what the future holds for Wharf Road.
Anyway, went to the farewell party for this branch of Hung's Delicacies.
Here was the feast we had.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Vegetarian goose:
The beancurd skin was soft and delicious drenched in rich soya sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Duck tongues in wine:
These are the best duck tongues in wine that I have ever tasted because they were soft and gelatinous and it came off the soft bones easily.
The wine had soaked right through the tongue giving an even wine flavouring all the way through.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fish:
The fish came of the skin easily and it had rich fish oils.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken tendons in mustard sauce:
Although the sesame chicken tendons tasted better, I could not help myself from eating this as well because I loved the texture and the mustard sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Duck chins:
I have not tried these before but they had a nice sesame and spicy taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beef in abalone sauce:
The photo looks like a dish of fish maw but it was actually beef with delicious membrane attached.
The membrane was gelatinous just like fish maw and with the abalone sauce the taste was amazing just like eating fish maw in abalone sauce with some meat attached.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Signature noodles:
These noodles are their signature noodles which are tossed in XO sauce with bean shoots and spring onions.
I liked these noodles because they are the thin type and it was fully flavoured and slightly spicy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Choi lan style noodles::
These noodles are tossed in pork oil with soy sauce, ginger and spring onions which is how Choi lan likes to eat it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Vegetarian mix in red beancurd sauce:
The dish was wholesome and hearty with a good balance of chinese cabbage, tofu, and gingko nuts.
It was sweet with a fragrant red beancurd taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Bay Lobster:
In Chinese it is called peipah prawns but to me it looks like a flat lobster which is probably why it is classified as a lobster in English.
The taste was just like lobster, it was sweet and springy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sichuan ox tongue slices:
The ox tongue slices were tasty with the fragrant Sichuan spices on top.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Garlic chicken:
The garlic chicken was flavourful with the crispy pieces of garlic on top.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steamed chicken:
The chicken was juicy and tender.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Soya goose:
Each slice of goose was divine because they werw soft and tender.
Beneath the duck were tofu slices.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Anyway, I wish Chef Hung and the team all the best at their new location and see what the future holds for Wharf Road!

豆花妹撈米線 at PARKnSHOP's foodcourt
To be honest I have not visited the Sham Shui Po branch again because it is quite far away.
As well as SSP, they have lots of new branches and this one was the nearest to me and they have tables for people to eat there.
I wanted to get the set because of the lime drink but something was sold out so I could only get the original noodles for $15.
It's shocking that the prices have not gone up!!!
My bowl of noodles were actually bigger this time compared to my first visit.
The sauce was rich with a heavy fragrant Sichuan pepper taste and strong peanut coriander flavouring.
Each strand of noodle got covered in this delicious thick sauce.

Peanut butter gelato from 2/3 Dolci
2/3 Dolci (Central)
Had dinner nearby and I was early so came here for gelato.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Peanut butter gelato:
Peanut butter is a rare flavour so I had to get it.
The gelato was nicely flavoured with peanut butter and the gelato had a lovely smooth sticky texture.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Rice noodles with liver
Wai Kee Noodle Cafe (Sham Shui Po)
Normally instant noodles and liver are a popular pick, but decided to have rice vermicelli for a change.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Restaurant photo:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Rice vermicelli with liver:
Vermicelli is just as good as instant noodles but the vermicelli has a sweet taste that goes perfectly with the velvety livers which have a slight bitter taste.

Fuss free French dinner sets
La Marmite Bistrot Francais (Central)
I have always wanted to try this place but couldn't make up my mind on what to have.
The new dinner set menu makes it easier for $300 which includes a starters, mains and dessert.
Here was what we had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Started off with the baguette which had this really tasty aioli sauce made with anchovies, mayonnaise, paprika, lemon, cayenne pepper, chives.
The sauce was so nice that I ended up having three slices of baguette.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
White crab meat with bloody mary sorbet and coriander:
The crab meat was refreshing and prepares you for the coming courses with the cooling yet spicy sweet bloody mary sorbet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
French snails sauteed in garlic butter with parsley puree:
The escargots were soft and tender with a strong buttery taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Classic mussels mariniere with French Fries:
Next had the mussels which were plump and fresh.
The sauce was thick and creamy which was great for dipping the fries.
French mustard also went well with this dish because it made it more appetizing and balanced out the heaviness with a mustard kick.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cheese of the day with truffle honey and candied Genoble walnuts:
I would have liked different cheeses but it was a big piece of brie which I liked.
The honey truffle provides a new experience for the cheese platter because the sweetness is paired with fragrant and strong tasting truffle.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
They also serve brunches too which I shall come back for.
