In this case, the spoon was dirty with bits stuck on it.
The beef was really salty and oily and the only thing I liked was the Chinese terrine.

[Joy Luck House, Lok Fu] Chinese cuisine again
Chinese cuisine again and it is a traditional Chinese thing to rinse the cutlery in hot water because the restaurants give you dirty cutlery.

[Hak Ka Hut ] Cantonese style Hakka cuisine
Chinese cuisine again and it is a traditional Chinese habit to rinse the cutlery and bowls in hot water because the restaurants give you dirty cutlery. Had the set dinner which is a con because they have really weird stuff like fried cuttlefish fishballs which they just buy and fry!
The sharks fin soup was a bit weird with strange pieces of white worms which were shredded pieces of pork that have been marinated in flour.
I liked the platter because of the tofu but it was a bit sweet and the rice was weird because it had sweetcorn in it as well.
Customer service was not that good and they were understaffed.

[Heritage Tea House] Chinese tea in poho
Discovered this teahouse the other day while I was looking for lunch.
The Heritage Teahouse is the same one as Shek Kip Mei serving a variety of teas that cost around $40 with no service charge which is pretty good.
I chose the Monkey picked Iron Buddha which had a grassy taste but it didn't seem to taste strong enough.
The tea came with nuts and dried fruits.
I will definitely come back again for tea.

[聯盛宴 Federal Banquet] I love the uniform
Surprised that there are no comments here but this restaurant used to be on the top floor accessed by escalators.
The new place is slightly smaller than the old place.
The food here is OK and the uniform is quite nice because I like red tartans.
The manager Jxxxx wears a light turquoise tartan suit which makes him stick out from the crowd.
As usual, you have to rinse the bowls before you eat and the rinse bowl looks a bit like a piss bowl because of the shape LOL!
The soup and suckling pig were good.
The chicken brain was quite small with less folds and complexity compared to the human brain.
It tasted fishy and Goose brains tastes much better.
I want to try the pig's brain next time LOL but it was sold out when I attempted to try it in MACAU!
Cute flashing red light bulbs stabbed right in the eye sockets!

[稻香 Tao Heung] Ruined by the oil and pork
Went here because the locals wanted Chinese food.
Ordered the lobster and e-fu noodles which looked good when it came and the lobster actually had lobster meat unlike some places you get dehydrated lobsters.
Unfortunately, the oil was old hence it killed the lobster, the taste of the oil was stronger than the fresh lobster taste.
The other dish we had was the spinach with salted egg and century egg which doesn’t normally contain pork but here they decided to throw it in as a bonus but the pork wasn’t fresh so it ruined this delicious dish with a bad pork flavour.
The spare ribs were just bones and fat and the other vegetable dish was ok but it was weird that it was garnished with mushroom slices.
The waiters were quite nice but also annoying at the same time because they have a quota to meet hence they keep pestering you to order more stuff like rice and desserts.

[Das Gute] Mini custard mochi bread
I was captivated by these mini custard mochis which looked like baby donuts dusted in icing powder but when I got closer it was actually mochi.
They cost $4.5 each or $17 for 3 which is quite pricey considering they are just a small bite.
Anyway, I got one because I wasn’t sure if they were delicious or not.
The custard mochi was quite nice because the mochi is not as oily as donut but the texture is a bit like chewy donut and the filling was ok, but the custard had a sickly white chocolate/condensed milk taste.

[Good BBQ] Not just Chinese roast
Li Yuen Street East is becoming a popular street for modern eateries hidden behind the market stalls.
There is GOOD BBQ which is a modern roast shop that has other dishes as well as roast with an EXCELLENT English menu because it states clearly that you can choose lean or fatty roast pork.
The food boxes really appealed to me because they were modern and chic.
Sadly, the slow roasted pork was sold out so I got the sides which were just as good.
Ended up getting two tubs of roasted okra with spices in Szechuan chili oil.
It was delicious okra in a sweet vinegary sauce with crispy roasted coriander seeds in it.
Luckily, it wasn't very spicy.
