Green tea fondue at Nasubi

Went here especially for the green tea fondue after seeing MKK's photo.



The green tea fondue

It comes with two square dishes of fruits and Japanese sweets.

Not an expert on Japanese food so I don't know the names of the non fruit things.

The white pearls are almond pearls.


The green tea fondue was better after a while because the sauce goes thicker and coats the fruits better.
It had a mild grassy taste with a strong creamy white chocolate flavour which went well with the fruits.

Overall the staff were really nice and attentative but the only complaint was the chemicals from the burner because they made my nose feel a bit sore when you breathed in the vapours.

Risotto at Yue Mic Ka

Although Yue Mic Ka is famous for noodles, I like their risotto more.
There are two that I particularly like, the squid ink risotto with prawns and the risotto with their famous soft pork bones.

squid ink risotto with prawns:

The squid ink risotto was surprisingly good because the squid ink taste was strong and there were lots of prawns on top.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
risotto with soft pork bones:

This risotto is also a winner because each grain of rice is deliciously flavoured by the soft pork bone gravy and the risotto is quite sticky.

On the way out, saw a poster promoting Yue Mic Ka's poon choi as tried by Shadow, Supersupergirl and Celebrity Chef Chau which has their famous fish broth in it.

The best Putien style Chinese afternoon tea

Putienians living in Kowloon will be delighted that there is a branch at Diamond Hill now!
This branch is very convenient and you don't have to wait for elevators.

Tried the tea set which costs $68, there are six dishes which is a good representation of Putien food.

For $30 more, you can add SET A or SET B which is another set of three dishes.

For fans like me, I opted for A and B because I love their food so much.
When it came, the tea set was huge! The trays were stacked on top of each other.

This was the main set:

There was delicious spinach in thick salted egg yolk and preserved egg yolk sauce, braised bamboo shoots, Jelly pigs trotters, Signature rice noodles, soup and lemongrass jelly.

For SET A and SET B, they both had some really good dishes.
SET A had this delicious rice that was flavoured, then there was crispy seaweed with shrimps and some soft beancurd.

SET B was also good but it was a ligther option without the rice, the intestines were surprsingly good because they were very clean and lean. Then the thinly sliced bittermelon was refreshing.
The dessert was interesting because it was chewy filled with a sweeting filling.



I can't wait to come back for this but this set is only served at this branch from 2:30-4:30pm.

For people who are addicted to the chili sauce sauce, they now sell it! Hooray!

Sunday's Grocery saved the day

Last year when K-Town MTR station had not been opened, I made an effort to go to Kinsale, however they were not taking any reservations.
The brunch at Kinsale is served until 2:30.
I got there at 1:30 but the staff in the restaurant wouldn't bother attending to the customers at the door.
By the time I finally got attended to, I was told that brunch had finished.
Feeling very pissed I went to Sunday's which has never failed me before.









I got the Chicken Schnitzel Sandwich.


As you can see it was neat and flawless, it was sliced cleanly in the middle and looked perfect for a food shot!


The taste was amazing too, the chicken coating was crisp and light with no rancid oil taste.
It was simply delicious with the fresh salad, creamy mayonnaise and chicken in one bite!

Great burger joint at Burger Circus

It just so happens that Boomshack and Burger Circus have both opened around the same time.
I was attracted here because of the decor, it would pass as a great diner and the staff are dressed the part.

However this place is called Burger Circus so I was expecting more circus like decor such as colourful circus tent decals and elephants decals on the wall.

Anyway, as I was having dinner, I only tried the circus fries which were fries topped with savoury onions, American cheese served with Circus sauce.
The fries were nice and crispy and the sauce tasted like onion gravy.
It would be great if there were more sauce though, the pink sauce on the side is Circus sauce and if I am not wrong it tastes like tomato ketchup mixed and salad cream with diced guerkins.


Overall the food was ok but the menu and bill didn't state there was 10% which I think they should if they are charging it.

Pasta and pizza sets at AGE Cuisine Express

When you get there, the staff encourage you to dine there because if you opt for takeout you get a discount.

Anyway, had the peas and beef pizza which tasted ok and I chose it because not many pizzas have peas.
The pizza base was thin and crispy.
As for the pasta, the sauce was quite tasty and the texture of the pasta was al-dente.

Gone downhill [川味皇]

Since my last visit, this place has gone downhill because they did not put as much crispy soybeans as before and the minced pork was just fatty bits floating in the soup.

The taste was ok, but the broth was not as strong as before.
