Back at Green Orange

Since my last visit, not much has changed and the food is still good.
Here was what we had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Smoked salmon and caesar salad :

The salad was really creamy with a tart caesar dressing
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Truffle and mushroom cream soup :

The truffle and mushroom soup had a strong truffle oil and milky taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Crab meat in filo pastry:

The crab meat in filo pastry and risotto tasted similar except the risotto tasted milkier with lots of rice.

Crab meat risotto with truffle :

BBQ US baby back ribs :



The ribs were juicy and fragrant with a hint of spiciness.

At the Green Orange again
Green Orange (Sheung Wan)

The nice pasta is back at Saizeriya Italian Restaurant

Haven't been to Saizeriya Italian Restaurant for a while so decided to give it a visit because they always have new items every now and then.
This time they had a new icecream.

The pasta is back to normal so I am going to order pasta from now on because the pasta that was served a while ago was chewy, weird and elastic like thick Yunnan rice noodles.

For dessert they had this Italian icecream which is like a ball.

The one I had was deformed but it tasted really nice except the artificial blueberry tasting jam in the middle.

Saint Honore's Crispy chocolate roll

I was intending to get the fruit roll but they didn't have it so I got this new Crispy chocolate roll which was big and cheap costing $34!!
It seems that the rolls are inconsistent because the amount of cream is different in every roll.
The one I got had too much cream in it.

The roll was really good because it was soft and chocolately but the jelly tasted weird because it was sour and didn't quite match the taste.

The taro cake was also too sweet but hope to see them come up with a taro roll or pandan roll.

Uji Matcha series at Arome Bakery

Arome Bakery has launched a new Uji Matcha series and the cake looks like a woven green basket!

Anyway I tried the bun which could have tasted better because it tasted like raw dough and it was rather sweet.
The bean paste in between the bun had a starchy texture and was quite nice.

My second visit to Seafood Thai

When it comes to seafood, Sai Kung springs into mind but there are actually lots of other places that have great seafood such as Tuen Mun and Lei Yue Mun.

This time we ventured into Tuen Mun's again for Seafood Thai 泰海鮮.

蒜蓉粉絲蒸元貝‏。Steamed scallops with garlic and glass vermicelli

As well as the lobster and cheese, the steamed scallops were really nice because they were fresh and springy with a sweet garlic taste from the finely chopped garlic.

I purposely ate the glass vermicelli last so that it would absorb the scallop and garlic flavours.

Yummy!

Back at Boomshack

Since my last visit, there are so many new items on the menu and the existing items have improved.

We came in a big group so we shared.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Chips and Salsa:

These were addictive and moreish with the tasty salsa, guacamole and sour cream dips.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Fajitas:

This is a new item with a colourful 7 layered dip made with refried beans, guacamole, cheese, salsa and olives.



The beef was juicy and delicious with the lime wedges that were given.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Beet Fries:

The beet fries are coated in cornstarch flour which gives them a lovely crispy coating while the beetroot is kept juicy and moist.
They were definitely addictive!!
But be warned cooked beets will change the colour of your urine and faeces, so don't be shocked!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Tater Tots:

These were crispy mashed potato nuggets which had a nice crunchy and cheesy taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Chicken Waffle:

This is an improved version of the waffles I had before because the waffle is different and it had a nice sweet and savoury balance.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
King Kong:

I liked this burger because it had spam in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆

Surprisingly good at Congress Plus

I have always wanted to try this place because my friend LLWL who loves to eat and does not post publicly on social media said this place was good.

Prices are about $6xx per person with further discounts when more people dine with you.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The buffet area was spacious and there was a wide range of cuisines ranging from Chinese, Okinawan, Seafood, Desserts.
Cold cuts:


It was impressive they had blood sausage as well.


Japanese crab congee


Grilled beef




Chinese delicacies of fish maw and tendons.


Chinese roast


Puff pastry seafood cup


Indian tikka roll


Mixed grill

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
I basically couldn't wait to eat so I started on my favourite salad which had seagrapes in a refreshing dressing.

The baby sardines in grated radish was a nice appetizer in a delicious vinegar sauce and the crab congee was light and delicious.


I tried the soybean salad which was sweet with kelp mixed into it.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Next we had seafood which was fresh and my favourite was the tuna.



★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
In the Chinese selection my favourite was the fish maw and tendons which were soft in rich gravy.



The retro skewer has been modernized into a healthy one which does not contain a slice of pork fat, I tried it and I loved the juicy melon and silky chicken liver.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
For soup I had the delicious seafood soup which is made to order and it had a lovely strong parsley taste.
