Tastless noodles @ Man Fai

There used to be three branches of this restaurant and now there was only one in left in Causeway Bay.
The noodles this time were extremely tastelss but extremely healthy.
Anyway, the tables at this branch were crowded but you were allowed to sit where ever you wanted.
I tried to order the items I ordered last time but could not find them and the octopus tasted rubbery and tasteless.

Prices have gone up! and its Hot Hot Hot!! @ Sabah

Ordered the tea set: Tom Yum Kung Vermicelli with Orange juice and Pork Bone Tea instant noodles with Coffee.
The Pork bone tea set used to be $25 but now it costs $38.

Pork Bone Tea instant noodles
The broth is always nice with strong dong gwai herbs.
However I do not like the instant noodles they use which are foamy and rough and not springy at all.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tom Yum Kung Vermicelli with chicken
This was too spicy so if you can eat spicy food this would be the item to pick.
The soup base was really strong and on top of the vermicelli there were lots of onions, chicken and herbs.
If the spicyness could be reduced it would be perfect.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Orange juice
This was freshly squeezed orange juice which was good but unfortunately it was sweetened by syrup.
Coffee
No comment

Cool Lime and cheese and broccoli pie @ Starbucks

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Cool lime
The drink looked quite nice when I got it, lots of frothy bubbles on top.
However there was some solid bits which I thought was lime but then it turned out to be plastic when I took it out, perhap part of the lid.
As for the taste, there was nothing wrong with it, but not my cup of tea because it had mint and lemongrass which I do not like but the poster just said Cool Lime so I was expecting Lime to be in it and not those ingredients.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Cheese and broccoli pie
I expected the pie to be nice and cheesy and did not expect to use the ketchup however the pastry had a really strong butter taste and smell so in the end I needed the ketchup because the cheese and broccoli filling was tasteless.

Soft Raspberry cheesecake @ Pacific Coffee

I got this raspberry cheesecake because the raspberry layer looked light and airy and I thought it would be soft because its name said so. However, the cheesecake did not turn out to be soft and it was quite heavy.

The raspberry taste was not strong enough and the cheese was quite heavy.
