澳門新龍記 (Santo Antonio)

Macau is famous for noodles topped with delicious toppings especially crab roe.

This is one of the restaurants that is famous for them, the other one is 牛記咖喱美食 Estab De Comidas Ngao Keo Ka Lei Chon which I must try on my next visit.

I chose this place first because they had Silkie chicken noodles and the squid patties reviewed by many Hong Kongers.

The menu was quite extensive and there were too many items I wanted to try.


The decor of the restaurant was basically the same as the Hong Kong restaurants.

Salted lemon with sprite:
There were two big pieces of salted lemon in the cup which was sufficient to flavour the whole bottle of sprite.

I do not like sprite but the saltyness of the lemon got rid of the artificial taste of the sprite.
The saltyness of the drink was just lovely.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tossed noodles with crab roe:

The crab roe was really nice but too salty, the taste of crab was as its max, but after I finished it there was so much orange oil left on the plate so it is not very healthy.
It was pretty cheap for MOP23 which is approximately HKD$23.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tossed noodles with silkie chicken in wine:
As well as the noodles with crab roe, I was looking forward to this too because of the silkie chicken in hua dao wine.
The wine taste was lovely and strong and the noodles did not have the alkaline taste.
It would be great the chicken was not so bony.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Squid patties:
The squid patties were ok, but not as good as I expected them to be because the squid taste was weak, but after adding the chili oil to it, the patties were delicious.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chili oil sauce:
I was surprised the chili oil sauce was great because it had black beans in it giving it more flavour and not just spicyness.

Bittersweet obanyakis and green tea puffs

Sweets House Cha Cha (Tsim Sha Tsui)

Usually I am here for the soft serve but now they have custard puffs and obanyakis too.

When you come up from the elevators, you will see that Sweet House Cha Cha has three counters, one for soft serve, one for custard puffs and one for obanyakis.

They all had displays and easy to understand menus.






★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Green tea custard puff:
The custard puff had a crispier outer pastry compared to other puffs such as beard papa.
Inside the puff was lovely and cold green tea custard.

The green tea taste was grassy and I felt that it was a bit too bitter.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Matcha custard obanyaki:
The obanyaki was crisp on the outside because it was freshly made and the inner part was a bit chewy like mochi.

The green tea custard was sweeter than the one in the custard puff and also very bitter as well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
As a conclusion I liked both of them and its best to consume them straight away.

Delicious Japanese premium cookies

Thanks to Mjqueen7e for getting me these delicious cookies.

I am a fan of Arome bakery room and their products are nicely packaged and taste good.

The box was really nice with a handle on the top.


There are five flavours inside: cashew, charcoal and coconut, green tea, Okinawa brown sugar, and dark rye with walnut.



Each cookie is individually packaged.

The texture of each cookie was delicate and crumbles in your mouth.
My favourite flavours were the green tea, Okinawa brown sugar and the charcoal with coconut.
The charcoal with coconut had big chunks of coconut which gave it more mouth feel and the Okinawa sugar flavour had strong sugar flavour without being too sweet.

A nice Genki Surprise

Genki Sushi (Tseung Kwan O)

I am not a fan of Genki Sushi because the choice of sushi is not very creative, so I have not been for a long time.

At the entrance, there was a no camera sign!
But I took these photos using a phone so I guess its ok


After this visit, I felt that their sushi is getting better and there are more choices offered especially for dessert such as Haagen Daz and cakes.

Basically every table was by the sushi conveyor belt so you could grab what you want and if it was not there you can place an order.

Green tea:
I liked the way they did not use tea bags because the taste gets bland after a few refils.
Here they use green tea powder so you can decide how strong you want it.
The green tea taste was slightly bitter and grassy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Genki roll:

Initially I wanted to try the deep fried salmon skin but the genki roll has deep fried salmon skin in it, so I tried that.
It does not say that on the menu, but you can see the deep fried salmon skin if you look carefully.
The salmon and salmon skin tasted really delicious because it was like eating fried salmon with raw salmon.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Seared black pepper salmon:
The seared salmon was really nice but the salmon and rice was too soft that it did not hold together.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chocolate cake:
The cake tasted the best because the strength of chocolate was just right and not too sweet along with the soft cake.
Adding green tea powder made it even more delicious.



★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Japanese cheesecake:
The cheesecake was lovely and soft, but it got quite sickly because the cheese taste was strong and similar to eating sweet creamy dairylea spread.

New menu at Delaney's

Delaney's Wanchai (Wan Chai)

Have not been here for ages so went again for English and Irish fare.

The menu has finally changed and is slightly better but the prices have gone up.

There were three that caught my eye and not previously there:

WARM POTATO & BLACK PUDDING SALAD $98 (garden greens with warmed potatoes and fried black pudding)
PAN FRIED COD FILLET WITH POTATO & LEEK GRÂTIN $175 (cod fillet served with grâtin potato and daily vegetables)
ROASTED HALF CHICKEN $138 (chicken seasoned with fresh rosemary and garlic with seasonal vegetables and house fries)
In the end I had the black pudding salad because I had a tasting later that day.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
WARM POTATO & BLACK PUDDING SALAD:
When it came, it was exactly that, ie potato, salad and black pudding.
The potato was delicious because it was my favourite potato from the salad bar warmed up, and the mayonnaise was delicious.

The black pudding did not taste as nice as the ones at Queen Victoria.
I am not sure if the black pudding was a different brand or the oil was rancid because their fried stuff is not as good as their roast.
