When I saw reviews for this place I was really excited and wanted to go as soon as possible.

The last time I had a nice Japanese hotdog was in Sai Kung at Juicy J's and here it seems they have more flavours for Japanese Hotdogs.

Luckily it is quite close to Tin Hau MTR station, so you do not need to walk as far as Tai Hang Village where most of the eateries are.

Anyway, from the outside it looks like a giant vending machine which is obviously for decoration purposes.
 
 
 
The menu is nice and simple.

Compared with Juicy J's the interior was quite Japamese ,
 
 
The only let down was the dripping air conditioning.
On the photos you can see there are lots of big droplets about to fall.
 
Apart from the water dripping I was surprised they had separate bins for plastics, cans and paper.
 
I do not have a picture but their takeaway boxes for the hotdogs were nicely designed but you have to pay $2 for takeaway.
Also their napkins have their logo on it and cost $1 per pack.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
They offer six different types of hotdogs and a mega long 50cm one which has four different fillings in each segment similar to the quattro four seasons pizza except the fillings are side by side.

They have put thought in pairing the fillings with the sausage to give you the best taste, but the ony disadvantage is that there is no flexibitliy like other hotdog places where you can choose the sausage.
It limits the choice for people who do not eat pork or beef.

So here you have to decide which is the most important item, the sausage or the filling?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There are seven different hot dogs to choose from:

D0 - 50 cm Jumbo family dog ( 4 flavours)
D1 - Nori dog - Seaweed, onion, chicken sauce, mayonnaise and chicken sausage
D2 - Sabi Dog - Cucumber, wasabi, mayonaise, cheese sausage
D3 - Daikon Dog - radish, spring oninos, beef sausages
D4 - Kaso Dog - bonito flakes, cabbage, pork sauce, mayonnaise, pork suage.
D5 - Niko dog - crab roe, cucumber, mayonnaise, inmitation crab,
D6 - Chimi dog - tomato sauce, spice powder, onion, mayonnnaise, spicy sausage


All the hot dogs have matching names. The hot dogs I was interested in trying were Sabi Dog, Daikon Dog and Niko Dog.
I think the Niko Dog is quite a good option for something light because it is just crabment.
In the end I chose the Daikon dog because it was similar to the one in Sai Kung with radish but they did not let me change the beef sausage to chicken so I chose the Nori Dog instead.
Thinking back I should have ordered the Sabi Dog because cucumber, wasabi and sausage is also a good combination.
But anyway I will be back to try the rest.
As well as hot dogs they also serve other fried snacks such as scallops which I also want to try.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The items I would order:
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Luckily I did not order two hotdogs because the hotdogs were huge, about 9 inches long, the hot dog was longer than the A4 Tri-fold leaflet as shown on the picturet!!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
 
D1 - Nori dog
The bun for the dog was quite nice and it was soft, it had black sesame stuck to the centre of it.
Beneath the generous seaweed there was plenty of mayonnaise sauce and diced onions which tasted nice however I found the sausage slighty too chewy and rubbery.
The only cutlery they had was a plastic fork which can make eating quite messy and same comment as the previous review they only had a steak knife.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

出發前看過其他食家的評價,對紅肉上癮的我是衝著牛肉石鍋飯($39)而來的。這裡並不難找,拐進阿士厘道不久已經可以看見那個醒目的青色招牌。看心裡就有點激動,因為我不只是「hungry」而是「starving to death」呢!

走進店裡,位子剛好坐滿。看到先前有位食家提過的那位「店長男生」,說得一口流利的美式英語,還很有禮貌地請客人先排隊點餐再找位子。點過餐,剛好有 2 個位子空著給我和朋友,心裡立即讚好 lol

食物等了差不多 10 分鐘。朋友點的是雞肉鐵板燒配白飯($48),我的就不用多說啦 tongue

我不是專業食家,就不「扮代表」了。弄石鍋飯一家要下一定份量的油才能做出脆脆的鍋巴,所以以這準則來說,牛肉飯不算過油,吃上去沒有那種後悔得要死的罪惡感,也沒有想要不停灌水的味精後遺症。朋友的那碗白飯呈圓拱形,份量十分慷慨;可是雞肉有一層泛光的油,我只敢吃頂端的椰菜和雞肉,甜甜的也很不錯,換是以前的我一定吃得食指大動!

朋友朋友,我期待下次再跟妳「大吃大喝」,只少對我來說是吧!

Casual Argentinian Dinner Smile Jul 29, 2011

Came to La Pampa with my girlfriend for a relaxing dinner after work, and was quite genuinely impressed.

Started dinner off with a Chorizo (beef sausage) and a Pie Appetizer, and immediately felt I had picked the right place for dinner.

The Chorizo was flavored very well, and most importantly was grilled to prefection, the skin still slightly crispy.

The Pie Appetizer, which comes in two pieces, which we chose 1 chicken and 1 beef feeling was great. Would definitely come back for this again.

Next were the main courses.

I chose the 250g tenderlion, and my girlfriend had picked the lambchop.

Given the amazing appetizers, I had expected slightly better from the main courses, but in general the food was roasted quite well. I felt that the meat could have been better marinated, as it felt the meat, although juicy, was not quite flavorful enough.

Overall, I would say La Pampa would be worth re-visiting though.
