This is the worst delivery experience that I've ever had with McDonald's! It took them 50 minutes to deliver!!!huffy

We called and placed order for 2 sets of breakfast set at 8.05am in the morning. After waiting for 50 minutes, we decided to call back to the hotline and ask for the delivering outlet's information. We were told that it is Amoy Garden's outlet and they will inform the outlet manager to give us a call on the delivery status.

Our door bell rang at 9am and it was the delivery staff. And at the same time, the outlet manager called and asked if the delivery has arrived. We told him that the order just arrived. The manager just said good that we have receive our order and nothing else. I was so pissed and asked why is this happening and it is not the first time. The manager just simply apologize without explaining and said that they will take note (as usual but nothing changed). Not only that they didn't mention anything apple pie coupon (which they always emphasize for delayed delivery), but they attitude was simply unacceptable. The manager was indifferent to the matter and the attitute of the delivery staff was bad all the time.

All Day Breakfast Just OK Mar 19, 2012

Categories : Western | Western Restaurant

I am not an early person, so missing the usual breakfast timing of the local restaurants or cafes is a norm to me. tongue
Through friend's recommendation, we found out about this place which serves breakfast all day long - perfect place for us!
We went over to check out this place last saturday. It was pretty full when we got there, but lucky us, there was one empty table left and we got seated. We spent a few minutes checking out their menu and finally made our orders. We've ordered one Full English and one Biscuits & Gravy.

This place looked a little like those American old diners with blueish-themed deco. The ceiling was pretty low and the tables were crowdedly arranged, which made the place quite noisy especially when there are lots of customers. The two of us were seated between a group of three and six people, our conversations were "interrupted" many times by the shouts and laughs from the two groups. sad

Back to the food.. Fruit juices which came with the breakfast set were served first. Like what were told in other reviews, they came in tiny glasses and could actually finish drinking it in one sip.

The Full English which came with two eggs - we asked for over easy; tomatoes; two sausages; baked beans; a piece of bacon; some sliced mushrooms; and toast which we've got it changed to English muffins. Well, eggs are eggs and hard to get wrong for baked beans as it just needed to be tipped out from can and heated up before it's served. The sausages and bacon were fine, nothing fantastic to be mentioned.

As for the Biscuit and Gravy, it came with biscuits with gravy (of course); eggs - asked for scrambled egg; sausage meat; and two sides - asked for baked beans and tomato soup. The scrambled egg and the tomato soup were just alright. But the biscuits were rather flavorless and the gravy was basically tasteless. sad The sausage meat (guess it is chicken) was dry and one of it had broken into pieces and they hide it under another piece. The whole dish was rather boring and tasteless that I actually ate most of it with lots of ketchup. sad

Overall, this place wasn't a fantastic place for food and their service was neither good. The price was not really cheap even though it is slightly cheaper than Simplylife (but their food and service are good!). We used to go to Simplylife for breakfast and thought we've found a nearer and convenient place for breakfast, but this place was just not as good. Nonetheless, we would still keep our options open and keep this breakfast place in mind. Will probably try out other menu items but definitely not the Biscuits & Gravy.

Nice Tonkatsu!  Smile Mar 19, 2012

Categories : Japanese

Accidentally discovered this restaurant when we were shopping around Causeway Bay and we decided to check it out. There was one customer waiting when we reached there, and we got seated after waiting for about 5 minutes.
We've ordered one combo cutlet set which came with prawn, pork loin, pork tenderloin, and creamy crab croquette; and one curry cutlet set.

Shredded cabbage was served first, together with some pickles. Both are bottomless! lol There were two dressings available for the shredded cabbage - sesame dressing and grapefruit vinegar dressing. I'm usually a fan of grapefruit vinegar dressing but decided to try their sesame dressing too. The sesame dressing wasn't very thick. Its mild sesame flavor, mixed with the grapefruit vinegar dressing, went very well with the shredded cabbages. smile The shredded cabbage was very fresh, like it a lot - and they help in balancing the "greasiness" from the deep fried cutlets. tongue

We were given a small bowl of black and white sesame for the combo cutlet set. By using a small wooded stick, these sesame was to be grinded till desired texture, and followed by adding in the special tonkatsu sauce. The sauce was thick and enhanced the aroma of the sesame - made a good combination.

Minutes later, the mains were served with soup and rice. We were told that the soup was bottomless too! lol For the cutlet combo set, the coating was thin and crispy, but a little loose and fell off quite easily. The prawn was alright. The pork loin was alright but a little dry. The tenderloin was much better, juicier and much tender compared to the pork loin. As for the creamy crab croquette, it tasted alright but a little too "creamy".
Curry Cutlet Set

The curry cutlet set was pretty good. The tenderloin was juicy and tender, but same problem - the coating tends to fall apart from the cutlet. The curry was good too, can be considered as one of the good ones in town. smile The rice provided was a lot, can't finish them. tongue

Overall, the food was good and its service was great too. Will come back to try out other menu items. smile

Good Hotpot But Pricey Smile Mar 13, 2012  
Share with MessengerShare on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Dim Sum Restaurant | Hot Pot | Chinese BBQ

It was a cold evening and we wanted to have hotpot for dinner. We were trying our luck to see if they have tables because we didn't make any reservation in advance. Lucky us, the restaurant wasn't really full that day and we gotten a table without waiting.

Ordered for their signature broth (comes with some pork trotter, chicken feet, green veges, corn, tomatoes, etc in it) and some hotpot dishes to go with it:
-3 "combo balls" which consists of prawn balls, cuttlefish balls, and pork balls - good, nothing special to be mentioned;
- Fried and rolled bean curd skin - very good, love it. Crispy to be taken straight away, or can be dipped into the soup for 1-2 seconds to get a mixture of soft and crispy texture, lol ;
- Fresh prawns - very fresh, prawns were still moving (a little) when being served;
- Bean curd skin with fish paste - ok, nothing special to be mentioned;
- Pork stomach - ok, nothing special to be mentioned;
- Baby cabbages - ok, nothing special to be mentioned.

Overall, the environment and service are much better compared to most hotpot places in Hong Kong - may be that is why the price is much more expensive? tongue Food wise, pretty good, they emphasis on fresh and live seafood. We noticed that there were lots of photographs with Hong Kong celebrities pasted on the walls, not too sure if they are the regulars here.. tongue

All in all, good food, good service, pleasant environment, but pricey. HK$5xx for two person is almost twice the price for other local hotpot places. Do note that, we noticed a obvious "dry-mouth" feeling after the meal, so, people whom are MSG-sensitive would probably think twice before trying.

Good Prawn Noodles Smile Mar 13, 2012

Categories : Singaporean & Malaysian | Noodles/Rice Noodles


I always like Singaporean and Malaysian food, and prawn noodles is one of them.
Ordered a prawn noodles (asked for yellow noodles + vermicelli, as usual) with sliced meat + hard-boiled egg, and a noodles with thick soup, namely "Loh Mee".

The prawn noodles are good - that's their specialty! smile It wasn't spicy to me even though it looked spicy. In fact, prawn noodles looks spicy but in fact it's not that spicy, and you can adjust the spiciness according to your preference by adding chilli paste to it. The meat and prawn slices are fresh too. This is not the best prawn noodles i've ever had, but it's the closest to authentic which I could find in Hong Kong so far. smile

As for the noodles with thick soup/gravy - yellow noodles in broth thickened with corn starch and eggs, It was just alright. It wasn't really good if I would to compare it with those I had in Singapore or Malaysia, but again, this is the closest that I can find in Hong Kong so far.

Overall, feels a little uneasy having meals there as their shop is quite small and the seats are pretty crowded. The food is good especially the prawn noodles. I will think of this restaurant wheneven I crave for prawn noodles.. lol
