Luckily I was too lazy to
make the trip to Tsuen Wan because at that time they had closed down to relocate
to Tin Hau.
After looking at the menu, it appears the choices food range
has been compacted to the most popular items which reduced my headache for
choosing what to eat, but it was still a headache because most of the items were
the ones I wanted to try.
However they do not serve
the
lemon chicken burger or the
purple potato sandwich which used
to be served at the TW branch.
On the first week that they opened, it
seems that the new shop was manned by a group of young guys which look different
to the people shown on the reviews for the TW branch.
They seemed to be
Chinese expats possibly from the US.
The decor is similar to the Tsuen
wan Branch with bright logos and decor.
Basically, there is a bar
table and there are six stalls available.
All the food ordered is
freshly prepared and made to serve.
As well as the food I was
looking forward to their cute and unique packaging, which was how I noticed
their Tsuen Wan Branch.
In the end, after
struggling to decide what to order, I ordered the veggie egg wrap, sweet potato
pancake and a burger.
They also had vegetarian options too which was
thoughtful of them!

Veggie egg wrap:
The wrap pastry for this
was interesting, it was slightly elastic and similar the Vietnamese white
pancakes (Bánh cuốn), however the taste was amazing.
It had a strong pepper
taste and the egg inside it was well cooked without any oily taste and the sauce
that they gave complemented the wrap well.
The sauce was garlic and soy sauce
which actually looked like a clear sweet syrup but it was
not.

Taiwanese ham burger (Sage's ham):
I am quite puzzled why
this is called Sage's ham as I could not taste any sage in it.
Anyway the
appearance of the ham was interesting, it was similar to a slice of luncheon
ham, but the taste was far better.
The best thing about the burgers here is
the bun, it is a wheat bun, and the whole bun was delicious because it was
toasted well that it was crispy on the outside and the soft on the inside.
The sesame which I
usually hate was delicious as well because it was toasted golden and you can
actually taste the sesame aroma.
In the burger there was a delicious
concoction so sauces that was really
delicious.

Sweet potato pancake:
I thought this was going
to be similar to an Indian Roti, but it was not, however it had so many layers
like a roti.
The pancake had lots of sweet potato in it and it was nice and
chewy too.

Since this shop was opened since
2009 and made their way from Tsuen Wan to the city, I was expecting their food
to be good, otherwise they would not have made it this far, but the food tasted
far better than I expected and I hope to try their other burgers
ASAP~
Usually I avoid Taiwanese food because the HongKongised version is
alway sweet but the food here was not really sweet and it was savoury as you
would expect it to be.
It fun was dining here because it was directly
under a bridge/highway, usually I don't notice it because I walk directly into
the restaurant on this road!
Hopefully once their operations are smooth,
they will add back the choices they previously had.
At the moment, there is a
slight wait for the food, so don't all flock here at once, but the food is
irresistible so I don't think anyone can resist!
