Back for the fried milk at 滇品．米線

This place used to good for authentic Yunnan cuisine but there is a lack of demand for some special items such as milk cake (雲南乳餅) so it is not available anymore.

There is another restaurant that serves it but the restaurant is located in San Po Kong which is in the middle of no where.

Since the milk cake was not available I had to order other items.

They give you Jasmine tea which tastes and smells like Jasmine flavoured toilet freshener.

The cucumber with bean sauce was lovely because the bean sauce was strong with a hint of chili.

I ended up ordering fried milk which tastes like cheese crisps but it was ruined with the stupid sugar on top.


The fried rice was good, each grain was distinct and al-dente and the rice was evenly flavoured.

Third time at the Opera House Italian for lobster

This was my third time here for the lobster and there is a fourth too but I have decided to write the third visit before the fourth.

It was during the holidays so there were quite a lot of people.

The lobsters were fresh and succulent, the cheese and the plain were the best.



The ravioli was very firm and al-dente.

The lobster carpaccio was sweet and springy.

To finish off I had my favourite gelato icecream which had a very strong natrual pistachio taste.

Bitter Chinese radishes at 王老吉涼茶

Last time the food was ok but this time the Chinese radishes were really bitter and after eating them I felt sick and needed the shxts.


The noodles were ok, the curry sauce was bland and watery.

A taste of Swiss cheese

Cheese is a must in the Western diet but in Hong Kong there are not a lot of varieties at the local supermarket and it is expensive.

I was attracted to this place because of the cheese fondue but I ended up having the Bayonne ham and Emmental cheese brioche. It satisfied my craving for a cheese toastie.

The ham was soft and tasty while the melted cheese held it together in the soft toasted brioche which was similar to toast.

I will be back for the cheese fondue which is quite a good deal and includes the ceramic pot and candle burner.

Second visit to Street meat

Went to Street Meat again because I wanted to have the yoghurt chicken again.

The portions were slightly smaller this time and the roti that they used for the lamb has been carefully halved so that it was a thin cracker!

Flushing lamb wrap:
Sous vide lamb with grilled leeks and Xinjiang spices.

This was gorgeous and flavourful, there was quite a lot of sauce too which made it difficult to eat but the flakey roti pastry held it together.

Midtown Halal bowl:
chicken sous vide with secret white greek yoghurt sauce and iceburg lettuce

This was my favourite because there was rice beneath it which was crispy and sticky, while the chicken was tender in generous appetizing yoghurt sauce.
The chicken was slow cooked but the portion was tiny this time.

Street Meat

50 Wyndhan Street

Central

Lab Made Cafe in CWB

Tang lung street used to be a street dominated by cars and red minibuses, it was dark and dirty.

Butao was the first brave restaurant to settle a branch there followed by a few others.

Now with the newly built Soundwill Plaza, Tang lung street is so much more glitzy with Jamie Olivers, The Point pizza and pasta and Lab Made.

The road is partially cordoned off which makes it safer for people.

Anyway, this new branch of Lab Made fits the scene and you can dine there comfortably for a coffee or cake as well as their famous nitrogen icecream.


That day I had the salted caramel icecream which tastes similar to the grill a corn.
It was slightly salty balanced by the caramel sauce with pieces of crunchies in it.



Next time I am going to try the volcanic lava cake!

Brunches at Crafty Cow!!

The brunch hours here are good because it goes on until 4:30 so 2pm is still not too late to get out of bed!

Anyway, they brunch is priced at $148 per person with a drink.

I went to Crafty cow for brunch because of the potato rosti and I love potato rostis.

Sadly, they didn't have potato rosti that day so I was served salad.

Apart from that minor glitch everything else was good!

Luckily I sat by the bar because I could see what the brunches looked like.

Here was the Big ass truffle grilled cheese and B.E.L.T being served.

[b]Beetroot juice:[/b]

It was freshly pressed beetroot juice so the taste was natural with bits of beetroot in it.

[b]smokey heart Reuben:[/b]

This was thin slices of cow's heart topped with cheese and pickle.

It was grilled to perfection and the cheese was still stringy.

The cow's heart tasted like beef pastrami and it was complemented nicely with the crunchy pickle.

[b]Wagyu steak salad:[/b]

The beef was soft, sweet and juicy which went well with the crisp salad leaves and delicious soft tasty potatoes.
