Great curries again @ Dicken's Bar

Previously I went before the renovation for the curry buffet, but it was only available on weekdays which was quite inconvenient.
Now it is available on Saturdays as well.

 

 

I was looking forward to the pork terrine but it wasnt there that day, but the roast potatoes were good and I was surprised they had the Philipino dessert {Brazo mercedse} which is meringe with some custard in the middle [The exact stuff I got from Quezon].

 

 

The muffins were also good as well.

Prawn dumplings and Sharks fin dumplings @ 嘴兒甜

Had a craving for prawn dumplings and this place happened to have it when I walked past so decided to go in for it.

 

This joint has another branch in Yuen Long which is quite a different location to Tai Hang.

I had forgotten about those usual habits such as washing chopsticks and cups until the staff placed a set of utensils with water to clean them.

 

I suppose it was good because Chinese tea was not compulsory but it only costs $3 for a pot of tea which was good.

 

While I was browsing the menu found out they had sharks fin dumpling so ordered that as well.

Prawn dumplings

 

I thought there would be four per steamer but there was only three.
Anyway the filling was nice but I did not like the dumpling skin, it was too elastic and chewy, the same type they use for Chiuchow style dumplings.

Sharks fin dumplings

 

 

This was really nice but there was a weird taste to it which I got rid of by adding worcester sauce.

Steamed dumplings with grass jelly drink @ 冰讚

 

 

 

Previously came here for dessert but now they have more options for lunch.
I was surprised to find out they have another joint near Brim 28.

Anyway they have extended their opening hours too.

The steamed dumplings looked good so I tried that, there are three types and I chose the seafood one.

 

The dumplings tasted really nice but they were steamed for too long because the dumpling skin broke everytime you picked it up and the fillings fell out.
The filling were really nice, it had scrambled egg and prawns and the filling was filled with so much juice due to the steaming.

There was a sachet of vinegar with ginger sauce for the dumplings too which made it more appetizing.

 

The dumplings came with a can of grass jelly drink which was good because it was not the boring Lemon Teas or HK beverages.
I found it too sweet but after diluting it the drink was really nice.
