Creative light and healthy toasts at Café O

Every time I walked past I was tempted by these toasts:
apple butter, cheddar and turkey
green peas and mint on salted yoghurt
prawn and salsa verde sweetcorn puree
pear and cinnamon nutella

That day I was still hungry after lunch so went in to try them.
Before I ordered I asked if they were big and they said they were quite small so I decided to order two different ones.

I was shocked when they arrived because there were two of each.

The waitress reassured me that it was right there were two pieces per portion so I guess I shouldn't complain.
According to the menu, it is $48/pc so my order should look like this!

Green peas and mint on salted yoghurt

It was cream cheese and not sour yoghurt but it was still good with thick starchy peas on top.

Prawns and sweetcorn:

The prawns were nice and springy but the sweetcorn was too artificially sweet.

Chicken again [Healthy Chicken]

Went here ages ago when you could choose two different rices at no extra charge.




Although they said the chicken was saltier than usual, it was really nice with the spinach rice and tomato rice.

If you have been recently, you will notice that they use plastic boxes and not the cardboard ones shown above which attract tiny mites.

Charcoal toast at Saiyu Japanese Restaurant

Went here because no one was dining there but it makes sense because the food takes ages to come.
Ordered the cheese and ham toasties which comes with a side of weird salad because it is dressed in sweet sesame sauce.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
burnt toast:

It was so uniformly black on the burnt edges that it had a lovely bitter taste.
This is probably the prized activated charcoal that health shops are trying to sell!!
The ham was a too salty as well.

Not green tea but melon pudding at Arome Café

When I saw this, I thought it was green tea but it was melon so I decided to try it.
I liked the layer of melon mousse and chunks of melon but the melon jelly on top was too sweet.
The dessert cup design was quite nice because it had a irregular shape that confuses the eye.

Surprisingly good scrambled eggs at‏ Yue Mic Ka

YMK is famous for rice noodles but my favourite dishes are the risottos.
I got bored of the risotto so had the all day set.

All day meal:
This time I tried the all day meal which had scrambled egg and I loved it because the egg was fluffy and fragrant.

I wish it was sold separately because I don’t really want the noodles or the slice of Chinese ham!!!

A new discovery in Kwai Hing at MX

Kwai Hing has finally got a decent eatery because there are not many good places to eat round here.

I used to curse my boss who ate the same dish in the same restaurant everyday that I went for another job elsewhere because there were more food options.

The style at MX is relaxed and you can take it easy while you eat, hence the slogan:
TAKE EAT EASY!


Octopus users have an advantage because you can order and pay on the self ordering machine which has English too!



After you have ordered, you are given a device which vibrates with red lights when the food is ready.



At some tables, they have USB chargers and there is also free wifi which you can use for a period of time.




There is self service hot and cold water.

After you finish the meal, they encourage you to return the trays and you are rewarded with sweets.



Anyway, here was the food I had.

Beef with cheese, black pepper rice teppanyaki:

The highlight of this is the CHEESE!~ See the cheese on top!!

After mixing it, it was nice and cheesy with delicious slices of beef in it and the black pepper adds more dimension to it.
For extra flavour, there is a side of sauce that you can add.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Curry beef in a pot with rice:

The curry comes in a cute metal pot and the curry was strong and spicy with big chunks of beef in it.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
boneless Hainanese chicken:

As well as delicious chicken and sauces, I loved the mountain of thinly sliced julienne cabbage in a refreshing yuzu sauce.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
chilled tomato with sesame sauce (add on option):

This is one of my favourite appetizers, tomato with sesame sauce that is not too sweet.
The tomato was sweet and juicy with thick sesame sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Salad (add on option):

A good balance of greens to the meal with a side of salad and dressing.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
green tea pudding with red beans (add on option):


The green tea pudding was creamy topped with starchy red beans on top.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
sweetcorn pudding (add on option):

As well as the green tea pudding, the sweetcorn was also fun to eat because it had an interesting mix of flavours with bits of sweetcorn in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
grape soda with aloe:

My friend tried this and said there were lots of aloe in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
orange and passion fruit soda:

I had the orange and passion fruit soda which was a refreshing drink on a hot day with summery passionfruit.

Star's Taste cookies

Thanks to a foodie for getting me this.
There is a branch in Jordan which is poorly lit hence the reason I have not been there.

Had the black and white sesame cookies which are crispy and crumbly with a buttery taste.
