Oh my "cod", it's me again!

Travelled all the way to Mui Wo because they had new items on the menu.

They had battered sausages, bread and butter pudding and really irresistable pies of the day.

They have new chairs with blue cushions that are really comfortable.

Sea view.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
New menu:



★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
BLT Roll:


These were gorgeous and loaded with delicious lean bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise.
Each bite was moreish and tasty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
A salt and battery:

The sausages come with their homemade sauce which tastes like a concoction of HP sauce and Branstons pickle.

The Yorkshires sausages were amazing with a strong herb taste and a lovely crispy batter on the outside.
However the fries were a little dark because of the starch.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Bread and butterpudding:

The size of this was HUGE and the bread and butter pudding was surrounded in generous delicious Bird's eye custard.
How could you not love it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tea:


Simple tea with milk and sugar was just perfect.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pie of the day with shoestring fries:

This pie was better than the other pies on the menu because it had bacon, egg, baked beans and sausage.
Utimately a Breakfast pie!!

Before I ate it, I was curious if the egg would be a sliced hard boiled egg or mashed egg but it was actually a fried egg omelette in the middle which was tasty, and the bacon, sausage and beans definitely tasted good together.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
All day breakfast:


A lovely fry up with my favourite earthy mushrooms and a delicious sausage.

SoHo's Fish & Chips

Saw this shop listed on OpenRice so decided to check it out.

It is located on Staunton's Road on the corner of some road.



The joint is quite small with a few tables serving pizzas, kebabs, curries, burgers and Fish and chips.


The staff that work there all wear the Union Jack bandanas.

Lunch sets are a good deal if you go there during lunch.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mixed meat box with pita bread:


Basically, it was mixed meat on top of pita bread with the usual garlic, mint and spicy sauce.

Not quite the greasy kebab that I was craving for.
The Pita bread was a bit dry and hard which was improved after sauce was added and the mixed meat did not have any strong spices in it.
There was chicken and lamb in the mixture and I was disappointed that I could not taste the chicken tikka.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The menu could be improved because the Tikka and Jalapeno peppers are the wrong way round.

The pasta should read Olive oil instead of oil oil.

Stunning black egg at Lazy Hog

Dined at Lazy Hog because of the black egg!

Lazy Hog is located on Bridges Street.


Here was what I had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pineapple lime:

It was a pineapple steak at the bottom with pineapple carpaccio slices on top drizzled with lime juice and fine lime peel shavings.
This was very refreshing to start off with especially with the tangy lime juice and juicy pineapple.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Squid ink egg salad:
It had a great presentation and definitely worth ordering.
The egg was BLACK and looked like a black burrata.

However I was slightly disappointed that it was solid all the way through because there was meant to be liquid oozing out from the middle as shown on the previous review.

It would be great if it had liquid vibrant orange yolk in the middle or something runny to mix with the salad leaves.

Although it did not have a runny centre, it tasted so amazing with a strong squid ink taste.
When I eat squid, the taste is similar to egg white so when delicate egg white was infused with squid ink, the taste and texture was divine.
The pieces of toasted bread were nice but a little too crispy.
As an alternative I would not mind having soft pieces of squid ink bread instead.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Digital bill:

They also give you a printed receipt as well and I kept the change because one of the fifty cent coins was a really old one.

Desserts at Ho Lee Fook

I have always wanted to try this place because it is Chinese food with a Western twist.

Came here twice.

::FIRST VISIT::



On the first visit I had the dessert BUT refused the glass of water because in one of the reviews that person got charged quite a bit for it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Passion fruit sorbet, lime and coconut marshmallow, pomelo, roasted rice:


This was refreshing especially the passion fruit sorbet which was balanced with the sweetness of the marshmallows that had a gorgeous coconut taste and a hint of lime.
You could visually see fine shreds of lime rind in the marshmallow and the texture of it was as light as egg white.
The roasted rice was crispy and gave a pretty dusting to the marshmallows with a roasted taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
::::::::::Second visit::::::::
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Granny smith apple granita, calpis sorbet, mochi, koji jelly:


I had this dessert on the second visit and asked for it without the calpis sorbet because I don't like Calpis.
I liked it because they used Granny Smith apples which are green and tart.

Another surprise was the jelly, it was pink with bits of rice in it and there were pieces of chewy mochi in it.
Compared to the first dessert I found it a bit too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
When the bill I arrived, I got two fortune cookies which I did not get on my first visit.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fortune cookies are not Chinese but is a novelty snack invented overseas with a fortune slip in the middle when you crack the cracker in half!!

Scottish All-day breakfast at The Canny Man (Wan Chai)

I haven't had the Scottish Breakfast for a while so decided to have it.


It's quite pricey but then this is the only place that serves it.
You need to phone in advance for it because I went there before and they did not have it.

The Scottish breakfast consists of:
Scottish square sliced (lorne sausage), bacon, eggs, black pudding, tomato, sauteed mushrooms, onion and potato, baked beans and toast (choice of fried bread).
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Scottish breakfast:


The sauteed potatoes were my favourite because they were tossed with onions and herbs.

The mushrooms were good as well because they were earthy and tasty.


However the Lorne sausage and black pudding were a bit greasy and there was too much milk in the scrambled egg because the taste was too dairy.
