The secret menu at The Butchers Club Burger (Wan Chai)

On the first visit, I only got the duck fat fries because I did not know about the secret menu.

After I found out about the secret menu, I discovered a vegetarian burger called What food eats.

This veggie burger has a delicious breaded and fried patty made with Chickpeas, white beans, kidney beans, zucchini, peppers, carrots, onion, garlic and crushed, puréed potato.
It then has oyster mushrooms, tomato slices, lettuce and pan-fried halloumi slapped on.

$120 is quite pricey for a Vegetarian burger but luckily it was the best Vegetarian burger I have ever had.

What food eats:


The veggie burger was just awesome because it was filling as well as delicious especially with the Halloumi cheese and oyster mushrooms.
Basically it had the delicious key elements a burger should have which are cheese and mushrooms and a delicious patty.

The veggie patty was not oily and flavourful with beans and my favourite pureed potatoes.

Buttery butter cookies:



These cookies were crumbly and buttery!

My favourite flavour was the chocolate almond and coffee which were great with tea.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Crispy sooo
These are cookie balls and there are so many flavours with a choice of sweet or savoury.


I natrually went for the savoury flavours but there were quite a few that I wanted because they had spring onion, curry etc.
In the end I settled for cheese.



The cheese cookie balls were surprisingly delicious because they were quite cheesy and buttery.
Each one was moreish!

Last but not least, the chocolates were just too cute not to try them.

K-pop Korean grill hits Mong Kok

Restaurant: MeokBang Korean BBQ & BAR (Prince Edward)

Korean BBQ is getting popular and now there is one in Mong Kok on Nathan Road.

It is down the basement with hip décor, fume extraction fans and you can neatly store your bags in the seat by lifting the seat top off.

Usually with BBQ, you just get Wagyu beef and Iberian Pork but with Korean BBQ, there are so many rare cuts I have not seen before.
You can literally try any part of the pork or beef!

The menu was amazing and I deeply appreciate their menu because it has English, Chinese and Korean with photos which really helps when people are not familiar with the cuts.

There is a good selection of seafood too to cater for people who do not eat much red meat.

Started off with the ox tongues and ox belly which was thinly sliced and easy to cook.



The belly was served with lettuce to balance out the fattiness which made it delicious and appetizing.


Then we had the Prime spare ribs which was a huge piece of meat that was unrolled on the grill, then cut into pieces when it was nearly cooked.



The rib was juicy and soft with an even fat marbling.
It was followed by my favourite juicy rib eye which was fun grilling that.

After getting through a fair bit of beef, we were given some chilled pumpkin and wolfberry puree which was sweet and soothing.


It was time for seafood and vegetables.

I was surprised they had Ganjang Gejang (Raw Crab Marinated in Soy Sauce) as well as specializing in BBQ meats.


As a carb lover, it was comforting having delicious warm rice with yolk like crab roe that was flavoured by the soy sauce.

After that, we grilled the huge prawns which were neatly sliced in the middle to make it easier for grilling.


The egg on the edges were ready to eat.

We then took a break from grilling and had the pan fried zucchini pancakes and the panfried seafood pancake which were filling.



The noodles were also soothing because Korean noodles were iced and they have sweet crispy pear slices in it.


If you have been watching Korean soaps, you would have noticed them eating Pig's skin and they have it here too!~
The texture is really different to the Chinese ones which are springy with capillaries. The pig's skin was surprisingly chewy with a strong elasticity.


Last but not least, INTESTINES of pork and beef which I did not try.



After all that I was extremely full and I would recommend this place for gatherings where people can try different cuts of pork and beef.
On the menu, there are some interesting cuts like chuck flap tail and skirtmeat.

As well as good food, there are a wide range of drinks too including Korean alcohol such as chamisul-fresh, Chung ha, Backseju, Maehwasu, Sansachun, Maggeolli, bokboonjaju, Erdinger, Asahi and HITE Hite.

Jasmine tea at Pacific Coffee

Stopped by for some Jasmine tea and found a comfortable spot to sit because there were not many people at this mall.

The Jasmine tea had a balanced floral and grassy tone to it which was pleasant to drink.

Tallore is a food galore for my stomach

Tallore (Wan Chai)
I come here really often because there will are new salads and soups every two to three days.

The food here is healthy and basically staple food for expats and Westerners.

Everyday, the menu is updated on Facebook so it becomes a habit to check.

Here are all the great salads and soups I have had!!!
As I write, a new African soup has just popped up on the menu.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
New Potato Salad with Grilled Cumberland Sausage & Caramelized Onions:

The potato salad was a surprise because I found sweet potatoes in it which added colour and taste making it different from the usual potato salad.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Belgian biscuits:


Belgians dip these into their coffees but as a Brit I prefer dunking them into tea.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Couscous with Roasted Pine Nuts & Potato Bits Veggie Mix:

(right on the photo)
I love this so much, soft and tasty cous cous with delicious bits of potato and nutty pine nuts.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Spinach lemon soup:

This was one of my favourite soups and it does not contain any cream.
A combination of my favourite spinach and lemon, the hints of lemon was certainly appetizing without being too sour.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mediterranean Pasta Salad with Cranberries:

I love bowtie pasta and it was dressed with dressing that was not too oily and the cranberries were not too sweet with a lovely chewy texture.
There were also delicious olives, cherry tomatos, cucumber and feta cheese which all gave it a gorgeous Mediterranean taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Belgian Endives Salad with Pears, Blue Cheese & Walnuts:

(Left on the photo)
This was another great one for annoying hot days, it had proper pears and crisp endives flavoured by the strong tasting blue cheese and gorgeous walnuts.
I was elated eating this because these pears are European ones with a soft texture that is not cloyingly sweet like Asian pears.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Curry Chicken with Wild Rice Mix & Mango Salad:

I found the rice too spicy and a bit too hard but this has improved.
But as a carb lover, I truly liked it because it was fruity with bits of apples, mangoes onions and lettuce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Kale, Tomato & Mushrooms with White Beans Soup back:

This soup was nourishing as well as delicious because it had a rich plum tomato taste which tasted like canned plum tomatoes and it was loaded with kale and protein rich beans such as chickpeas and there were mushrooms in it as well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Shrimp Soba Noodle Salad:

This was soba noodles tossed in Sesame Peanut Dressing that is not cloying sweet as the Asian peanut sauce.
Tossed with the noodles were delicious grassy pea sprouts, juicy sweet crisp julienne bell peppers, purple onions, cucumbers and prawns.
