My Ramen @ Hakata Ippudo

Shop: Hakata Ippudo

Went to Ippudo for a light meal and chose My Ramen.

My Ramen basically lets you choose the broth, type of noodles and extras.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
My Ramen:

I chose the Bonito and pork broth with hakkata noodles.
This option is quite good if you do not eat meat.
The noodles were hard just as I requested and the Bonito and pork broth complemented it nicely.
There was pickled ginger and crushed garlic to enhance the noodles too.

There is a promotion at the moment and you get a sticker for the designated noodle ordered, once the stamp card is filled you can get a free Ramen.
Terms and conditions please see the stamp card.

Indonesian sweet delights

Restaurant: Padang Indonesia Restaurant (Causeway Bay)

I love the Indonesian sweets here and they are labelled.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pandan Katam Hitam:


It is a two coloured cake made from glutinous rice.
This cake was really nice, it was chewy, and a slightly sticky texture from using glutinous rice rather than normal flour.
The texture was very similar to a sweet malt loaf, but not so dense and chewy with gorgeous pandan and glutinous rice flavouring.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Kue serabi:


I thought the bun would be filled inside but it was solid and it comes with a tub of coconut sauce.
I tried it without the sauce and you can taste the pandan but the bun is not sweet.


It was slightly savoury but after you dip it in the coconut sauce it tastes nicer and the more sauce you dip, the sweeter it is.

BBQ pork bun @ Taipan Bread & Cakes

Taipan Bread & Cakes is located right next to Wing Wah Bakery on the basement floor of Metro City.


Contemplated in getting a custard bun covered with wheatgerm or a BBQ pork bun but the Custard bun was quite hard in texture when I picked it up with tongs so I chose the BBQ pork bun.

BBQ pork bun:


The bread was sweet as usual because it is the Chinese style bun.
The filling inside was quite nice and not too sweet, the barbecue pork was lean.

Vegetarian sushi selection

Shop: Bento Express by AEON (Tseung Kwan O)

I went to Bento Express by Jusco to get some sushi.

While I was choosing the sush, I realised they had VEGETARIAN sushi sets as well so I got that instead!



Again the vegetarian sushi costs more than non vegetarian sushi.
It was late that day and all sushi was at reduced price except the vegetarian one!


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Vegetarian sushi:


When I opened the box, there was no wasabi! It was just two sachets of soy sauce
The ones that tasted the best was the vegetarian eel because I hate the eel version because it contains bones and it is always too sweet. The vegetarian version tastes like grounded cooked tuna.
The vegetarian tuna tastes good too because it tastes like the real thing.
The white vegetarian shellfish did not taste that good because the texture was like konjac.

Chicken steak with omelette @ 永盛鮮果汁店

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken steak with omelette:
Went back for more of their stingy chicken because the chicken tastes quite home-made.
This time chose chinese style omelette with pickles and the chicken.
Just as expected only got a few pieces of chicken.
The omelette contained Chinese pickles (choy-poa) which I found too sweet so I didnt like the egg, but the chicken tasted ok.

Black chicken and Chinese herb soup

龍德樓
G/F, 10 Victory Avenue, Ho Man Tin
何文田勝利道10號地下


Discovered this restaurant from a local TV show so went to Victory Road to try this restaurant and this other restaurant.

There were seven soups ranging for $28-$90.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Black chicken and Chinese herb soup:
I chose the black chicken soup because of the black chicken.
When it arrived, I placed the soup ingredients into another bowl and there were two pieces of whelk, one piece of black chicken and other Chinese herbs.
The soup tasted naturally sweet because of the chicken and whelk.
It was really nice so it was worth trying.

Sweet and sour chicken @ Sengdim

Havent had this for a while so decided to get the Sweet and sour chicken because it was new on the menu.

The average price of their set lunch has gone up from $38 to $40 which now includes a soup.

For some lunches the portion size has gone down and they now put the food in flat card boxes.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Soup: Chinese style soup


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sweet and sour chicken:The chicken was rather artificial and it was marinated in soda flour for a quite a long time because it was too soft.
There was no chicken taste and it almost tasted like frozen chicken.
The sweet and sour sauce was slightly too sweet and it was really oily.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mixed rice:
The rice was a bit yellow today but it was still soft and delicious.
If all fails at least rice tastes ok!
