Beefy warrior meal at Wasabi Warriors (Central)

Came back again to try the Warrior meal, there were lots of rolls and bites to choose from.

Crumbled chicken with avocado (left) and cooked tuna (right)

Both were tasty and fresh but I wish there was more filling and it would be good if the rice could be softer.

Soft shell crab and fresh scallop bite

The soft shell crab was tasty but again the rice was too dense.
As for the salmon bite, it was sweet glazed with Japanese mayonnaise and avocado.

Kee Wah's Easter gift set

Easter is coming and I was surprised that KEE WAH Bakery was selling Easter gift sets with a modern design too!!

Inside the box, there are two lovely Western tea tins which contain nougats and cookies.




As usual the cookies are crumbly and the nougats and coconut peanut candy are irresistable.




HAPPY EASTER!

Burger Republic resurrected

Burger Republic used to be on Gough Street in Sheung Wan but sadly they closed in 2009!
http://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/%E4%B8%8A%E7%92%B0-burger-republic/1889713?tc=sr2rvw&con=rvw

After six years they are back!
The last surviving branch of New York Fries have become extinct and Burger Republic resurrected.

It's sad news because I love NYF but then Burger Republic is also good.
The burger selection is not quite the same as before because they don't have the cranberry and cheese burger so I got the chicken guacamole burger instead.

chicken guacamole burger:

It was a good juicy piece of chicken thigh smothered in guacamole and sour cream with some cajun spices.

Rajastani Thalis at Jashan Indian Cuisine

Normally I come here for the curry lunch buffets to get my curry fare but recently they launched the Thalis which is a meal made up of a selection of dishes served in small bowls placed on a round tray.
Here they specialize in Rajastani Thalis and there is a choice of meat or vegetarian thali.


For both the meat and vegetarian Thalis, there are a few dishes that are the same.
The same dishes that are in both sets are:
Rajastnani rice and bread
Traditional cottage cheese smoked with cardamon and marinated with spiced yoghurt
Marwari royal preparation of fresh spinach with corn and pines nuts
Poached fresh corn dumplings simmered in yoghurt, onion and cashew nut gravy
Traditional dessert meal of lentils, flour dumplings and sweetened cereal

Here are the dishes that are different in the vegetarian and meat thalis
Vegetarian:
Smoked cottage cheese cooked with plum tomatoes and cream
Rajastani dry beans and dry fruits with Rajastani spices
Meat Thali:
Murgh tikka kasoori methi
Bhune murgh ka shawta

Both Thalis were good because there were so many different items but personally I preferred the vegetarian one because I love cottage cheese.
The food here is very spicy compared to other Indian places so be warned.

As well as the Thalis, we had the dosa and aloo gobi.
The dosa was light and crispy with a delicious coating of cheese in the middle filled with tasty potatoes.


The aloo gobi was a nice substantial vegetable dish of cauliflower and potatoes which were satisfyingly filling with fiery spices.

Filming the promo of Jamie Oliver in Hong Kong

The great celebrity chef Jamie Oliver is in Hong Kong with his second branch of Jamie's Italian opening in May!!

I was really lucky to be involved in his video which was filmed at the car park of Marco Polo hotel.

Although it was misty, it was quite sunny as well which made it difficult to look up when we were doing the aerial shots.
The weather was hot, so our pink T-shirts were perfect and summery.

It was fun forming the letters and dancing in the video.

Here are some screen shots of the video.

I really enjoyed filming this. 

Jamie Oliver's team and production team were marvelous!

Sushi Take Out's canned products

Sushi Take Out is a successful Taiwanese brand selling affordable sushi.

It is interesting that they have other products such as crab and tinned foods so I went for the tinned squids and salmon which are branded by Sushi Take Out.



★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Braised squid:


The texture of the squid was surprisingly good because it was springy not like other tinned foods where they are mushy and hard.
I found the taste too sweet so I rinsed it with water and it tasted much better.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Braised salmon bone:


The salmon was surprisingly good because it was labelled salmon bone so who the heck would want to eat bones.
Again, the salmon had a natrual soft texture which was not mushy or hard and the bone was soft and edible so it was my first experience being able to eat salmon bones!

Dreamy delicious congee at Dream Tofa

The menu was limited before, they only had silky tofu dessert and fishballs but now they have congee and savoury beancurd.
These new items definitely lured me there because I love savoury snacks more than sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Congee with soybeans and pork:


The congee tasted really nice because there were lots of soybeans in it which were tasty and had some chew to it.
It would be good if they put tofu in the congee because I reckon it would taste nice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Marinated beancurd:

The tofu was hot and silky which was complemented by the sweet sauce and spicy chili bean sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Will be back for more.
