Hindu Curry Restaurant

There are not many curry places in the East side of Hong Kong so this was why we went here.

Apparently, Hin Ho Curry is really famous and serves a good variety of curry.

Started off with Masala poppadoms which were topped with crisp fresh tomatoes and onions that made you hungrier as you ate.

++++++++++++++++++++++
Next we had the samosas which were vegetarian filled with fluffy potatoes and peas.
There is a lamb option as well.

+++++++++++
Chicken satay:
Then we had lightly spiced chicken satays which were tender and juicy.

+++++++++++++
The lamb shank was soft and the lamb came off the bone easily.

To go with the curry, the rotis were perfect because they were soft and light.

The naan was soft and fluffy

++++++++++
We also had my favourite saag paneer which was spinach and cottage cheese, a lightly spiced curry.

++++++++++
I was surprised to see curry crab on the menu but this was very spicy.

+++++++++++
These were huge prawns in a sweet and mild curry sauce.

+++++++++++
For tandoori, there was a good variety ranging from: chicken, lamb, pork neck meat and squid.

My favourite were the squid and lamb.


The Tandoori squid was my favourite because it was surprisingly springy and tender.

++++++++++++
To finish off, there was strawberry lassi which was blended with fresh strawberries but I found it a bit sweet.

++++++++++++
Overall the food was ok but service can be slow especially during lunch.
They also have other Asian options to cater for everyone.

Chewy goodness at Mrs Fields Cookies

Mrs. Fields Cookies never disappoint.
Discovered that they had some new flavours so got the super chewy ones and the coconut and macadamia cookie.


I couldn't resist the cookies so some were already finished before I took any photographs.
Obviously, the coconut and macadamia were good because the fragrant coconut and nutty macadamia tasted great together.
The mocha chocolate chewy was divine as it was not too sweet and I loved the chewy texture.

New Tuna Patty at Pololi

Went back to Pololi because I had a craving for rice and sashimi.


There were new items so I tried the Tuna patty and brown rice, which were not there before.
I added an extra $60 for extra poke which was not as much as I imagined because I was going to try all the flavours and write them here but you only get a few cubes of each so I decided to get two flavours instead.





The brown rice was definitely good because the texture was coarse with a fragrant wheaty rice flavour.
As for the tuna patty, I found it a bit dry and the cubes of tuna had quite a fair bit of membrane in it which was difficult to chew.


I also had spam musubi because the spam is really good and I love the saltiness that goes nicely with the rice, seaweed and egg.

The beauty of Bread & Beast

Went to the Tong Chong Street market and tried the Philly cheese tongue which is an exclusive bun served by Bread & Beast at the market.

Samples of the food at the stall.





The Philly cheese tongue is sandwiched with ox tongue, caramelized onions, American cheese, mustard and sauerkraut.

It was really good because the sauerkraut made it really appetizing and the beef tongue was thinly sliced.


I also tried the lotus root chips which were smothered in sauce.

TVB under the knife, TVB gets knifed

::::TVB mooncakes by Maxims::::::

I love TVB and we had TVB in Europe, they started off with video rentals for TV series but now they have satellite channels where they sometimes broadcast stock series so we get to watch them earlier before they are broadcasted in HK.
Subscribers would get a TVB calendar every year that has the current Miss HK pageants on the front page.

Anyway, someone had mooncakes from TVB so we were really lucky to try them.






They are made by Maxims.
In the box there are two flavours:
White lotus seed paste and egg yolk and lotus seed paste and egg yolk.




Basically they taste the same as the ordinary Maxim's mooncakes which are sweet and sickly.
