Artistic presentation at Fairwood

I don't really expect anything from Fairwood but the presentation of the food was colourful and artistic but I ended up seeing the funny side of it.

[b]Beef curry:[/b]

The beef curry was surprisingly good because it did not contain coconut milk so it was nice and strong however it lacked some spicyness and the beef tendons were not soft enough.

The presentation of the rice and vegetables were quite cute!

Lovely cheese and tomato toastie from Zai Fe

Randomly came here and the prawn and chicken pie was interesting but it was a strange pairing for a pie because prawn is not usually paired with chicken.
Anyway, decided to get the toastie.

cheese and tomato toastie:

Ok, there was not much cheese in the toastie.

Althought there was not much cheese in the toast, it was proper cheese which tasted amazing, the sourness of the tomato and the saltiness of the cheese were so delicious together and the bread was toasted just right with a crisp surface and soft centre.

Great hot and sour instant noodles 東門町

There are two different broths at this joint:
-Hot and sour
-Hot Sichuan peppercorn

Tried the Sichuan peppercorn so this time ordered the Hot and Sour broth which I can rarely order because it is always paired with Yunnan rice noodles or potato noodles.

Here they let you choose instant noodles with both broths.
For some weird reason the broth does not say hot and sour on the receipt, but the broth I got was the right one which was ok.

Instant noodles in Hot and sour broth:

The broth was really tasty and heavily spiked with spices with a hint of of sourness.
When the noodles went soft and soaked with broth, it was really delicious and I loved the tasty beancurd skins in it too.

A quick treat at Marks & Spencer Food Store

I was still hungry after dinner so went here for some tea and a raspberry jam doughnut.


The raspberry doughnut was soft and chewy coated in delicious sugar and filled with fruity raspberry jam which was finished off with a lovely Earl grey tea.


For regular customers, there is a loyalty card to get stamps but I wasn't given one until now even though I have been there quite a few times!

Tomato day at Tomato noodles (Tsuen Wan)

Went here ages ago.

The food was good but the service was really rude hence it was not on my priority list to share.
I had tomato noodles with pickled soup but the broth was not really sour and there were not much pickles given.

The pork patty with salted fish was quite good because it had a nice crispy surface and the patty was moist.

The squid patty was tasteless with a rancid oil taste.

Naan and curry sauce at Coco ichibanya

I was surprised to see Naan on the menu so decided to order it.

It took longer than normal curries.

[b]Curry and naan:[/b]

The curry was the usual curry sauce but it was quite salty and the naan was quite disappointing because it was Japanese style naan which was soft and chewy, but it tasted ok.

Garden Old English sandwich bread

I never thought I would be reviewing something as basic as bread, but the bread and other baked items in Hong Kong taste really weird especially the texture and aftertaste.

Sometimes, it really annoys me that I need to go to expensive places for some simple damn bread.

Anyway, the Garden Continental bread is quite good if you compare it to other breads in Hong Kong, but average if you were to buy bread in the UK!~
