五月頭上深圳食過探魚烤魚，回味無窮。今日行過APM，見到探魚原來有一人烤魚午餐，咁就好啦，以前一大鍋一個人肯定食唔晒，而家有一人一鍋，隨時心血來潮都可以過嚟食！新菜式？ 下次再嚟試吓，今次都係要返一人一鍋。好耐未飲過酸梅湯，佢加咗片檸檬同桂花，有好香嘅桂花味，頭嗰幾啖好濃，要等啲冰融咗淡咗之後就啱啱好 。等緊上菜嘅時候已經急不及待去冰粉吧整定碗冰粉先！上次上深圳，冰粉吧冇咁多選擇，又有好多其他客搶住攞冰粉，有啲混亂。相比之下，觀塘呢度就舒服好多。有齊晒我鍾意嘅桃膠，爆珠燕麥，同埋黑糖麻糬！原來一人餐都幾大份，又有豆皮，豆腐，大白菜 。烤魚仍然係好香，但完全冇骨，啖啖肉。😙但係唔知係廚房唔同定係一人餐嘅關係，整體調味唔係好濃，鍾意清淡啲嘅人就啱晒。可惜我好想食嘅糍粑竟然售罄…唯有點返個香烤花菜作補償。…Read More

There are a couple of other seafood restaurants in Sai Kung but I chose this one because it got Michelin 1 star before and more cozy environment for a birthday celebration. My second time here after 7 years!I really craved for giant mantis shrimps for celebration so on top of the set menu for 2 ($1098), we added two more giant mantis shrimps and two razor clams. The entree of the set dinner menu for two starts with this plate cucumber in garlic and soy sauce. Very crunchy and appetising. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Then this signature fried tofu. Simple but very delicious! Must-eat. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Instead of garlic, the scallops are made with 紅酒糟. Tastes good and special and not too salty. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Then it’s our additional order of mantis shrimps! It’s of the length of my arm and they are very meaty! I asked the kitchen to cook with salty goose egg yolk and it comes out extremely yummy! Not as salty as 避風塘. It’s really fulfilling to have the giant mantis shrimps. These two cost $700 in total plus an addition of $208 for cooking them. These are the two additional razor clam ($160) in black soy beans and pepper. Okay la. Springy but just typical. $118 for the cooking.Clams. Typical. This friend abalone is very yummy and soft~ We are already quite full when it gets to the lobster with noodles in cheese. So we packed the lobster and boodles home but it still tasted extremely good when we ate it the next day. Pork rib in muster salad dress. Meaty, soft, yummy but only a small portion. Well, i don’t really like these two jelly to be frank…Though it’s generally good, this restaurant is really far more pricey, at least a double, than other seafood restaurant. …Read More

As for lunch, we ordered pasta and burger to fill our stomach first. Bolognaise, as what it is supposed to be. The pasta is a bit thinner than typical spaghetti but not as thin as angel hair. My friend’s pasta in soup. The soup tastes really yummy but it’s just a bit too bland when eating together with the spaghetti. Burger. No special comment from my friends. Then it comes the dessert time!This tiramisu is good. Though they say it’s a pancake, but the texture is more like a brownie. Indeed i quite like its moisture. Their signature soufflé pancake! Rich in egg flavour …Read More

年廿九西貢唔太多人，所以終於唔使排長龍就可以試吓呢間想試左好耐嘅Little Cove Expresso. 餐廳大致上都係以早餐及Brunch為主， 所以all day breakfast, open toast 及coffee 嘅選擇比較多，今日係食午餐，所以點了只有四五項嘅主食項目入面嘅Ragu意炒及中東風味嘅手撕羊再加招牌French toast. 英文餐牌，英文點餐 。服務員都非常殷勤有禮。中東風味手撕羊好特別 。有好多舊中東香料煮椰菜花，擺碟好豐富好靚！羊肉好淋～另外手撕Ragu牛有啲手撕羊嘅質感，都好淋 。番茄醬酸酸辣辣，非常野味😋另外french toast 更是必食！脆脆焦糖喺暖暖的多士上面，配凍cream，溫度好感都好多變化，非常美味😋#littlecoveespresso #saikung …Read More

Really thrilled that Alchemist Cafe has its branch opened in The Lohas — a desert of gourmet, and with its food and service quality guaranteed. Last time I bought takeaway lunch and was surprised by its delicately packed lunch boxes and the discounts for takeaway orders. This is my first time eating in to enjoy their very comfy and warm ambience. I was seated at about 5:55pm and the light was dimmed for dinner session at 6pm, making it even more cozy. The food items are indeed reasonably priced — you know prices are very likely to be marked up at Lohas— and I was actually brought away by their catering package, thinking it’s really a good option when throwing parties. As I was eating alone tonight, I picked the set for one-person! It’s really a good bargain to have an only additional $58 for an appetiser, drink and dessert of my choice. And I found my favourite — sweet potato fries! Fresh from the oven so I’d particular crispy and yum! Raspberry yoghurt with cream cheese milk foam is both refreshing and rich~ It’s a nice pick The chicken wings are in good size and crispy. The add-on sauce is with a kick of mild spiciness. The bite-sized steak is very tender and flavourful with a taste of garlic. Main dish — lamb chop! It’s done just right to still have the pinky colour. Sooooo tender with the lamb taste I really like!!! And the volume is quite a lot to be enough to fill your stomach. Finished the dinner with their cake-of-the-day. Satiate …Read More

I didn’t expect anything just seeing quite a queue when I passed by this yoghurt drink shop, I impulsively decided to get into the line to give it a try. It seems their signature is avocado yoghurt, but feeling a bit heavy after my lunch, I craved for a bit of sourness for refreshing my taste buds. So I picked the hawthorn yoghurt drink. So, I got hooked to it! It’s really refreshing and there are a lot of hawthorns added. Basically they also have almonds added to the yoghurt for blend. So I’d say it’s very fulfilling. I found hawthorns left when finishing the drink. Though I’m glad to see they are very generous in terms of ingredients, it’d be better to have them well-blended. …Read More

行到呢間舖頭覺得有啲得意，因為佢哋係重量嚟決定價錢，簡直係「磅秤自助車仔麵」！入到舖頭初頭有啲疑惑…店員耐心有禮地向我解釋點單程序：首先要去消毒櫃入邊攞個筲箕同鉗，之後再去食物櫃揀選自己喜歡的食材。食材基本上係各種丸，菜，雞肉，肥牛，牛腩，面都有好幾種。最近減醣，所以專登揀啲非澱粉質健康啲嘅食材 。拎住一筲箕嘅食材同飲品，去到收銀度磅重同揀湯底。佢哋嘅湯底都好特別，當然我二話不說就即刻揀咗我嘅至愛藤椒湯底。佢哋宜家有會員計劃：$138就可以入會做會員，送50支飲品同全年九折。諗諗吓其實為起支飲品都係兩個幾，真係值回票價。買咗單先見到佢哋兩款手調檸檬茶，下次要試吓。今次第一次食呢一間，試咗一啲比較特別嘅食材：蛋角同潮汕餃好好味，好值得推介。呢度仲有筍同牛脷可以揀，真係第一次見。以為大大條蟹柳冇乜特別，咬咗落去先發現原來係芝心蟹柳！有驚喜。佢哋有廚師腸，芝士腸。但我對波波腸情有獨鍾。好味。佢哋個藤椒湯底真係冇令我失望，好香麻椒味但又唔太辣，冇點面食嘅我都過足癮口，好滿足！…Read More

聽聞呢間探魚烤魚喺APM開左唔係好耐，今日同朋友食個late lunch，一踏入餐廳已經聞到好香嘅花椒味，即刻垂涎欲滴🤤橙色招牌燈閃令令很道地大陸style🤣過咗lunch hour所以只有幾枱客，所以很spacious坐得好舒服！點了蔥蔥蔥蔥明魚， 烤魚烤有三種不同價格嘅魚可以選擇，隻隻都未聽過，所以隨便選左最低價嗰隻 。等烤魚期間我哋先去冰粉吧！只係$9就有任食冰粉，仲有任飲茶水跟面紙巾😆 好抵呀！仲有好幾種配料，滿足感爆棚～ 我哋最終食左兩碗冰粉，最緊要要係加左好多桃膠，好滋陰😙過左五分鐘左右飲品烤魚同配料陸續上枱 。大盆烤好香呀！但要忍住，要趁熱趁仲脆食左糍粑先！呢度嘅糍粑係雙色有餡㗎！比普通糍粑好味好多！烤魚肉質嫩滑！個湯底勁野味🤤！真係想叫佢哋俾隻碗我飲湯！豆腐浸左湯好入味！可惜寛粉賣晒….朋友點了脆魚皮，我第一次食，覺得唔錯！調味調得好好 。啲侍應好有禮貌好殷勤 。兩個人五百幾蚊食到捧住個肚走，好滿足！…Read More

早排喺YouTube見到YouTuber推介呢度嘅沙嗲牛肉麵，所以又慕名而來試吓，但係失望而回 。$55牛肉沙嗲撈麵，牛肉都夠厚身有嚼口，但係沙嗲味唔係咁好食，牛肉都比較淡。但我呢一個$55嘅牛脷沙嗲湯麵仲差，杰撻撻諗住沙嗲味應該都幾濃幾香，一飲落去冇乜味，好似溝咗好多豆粉漿咁，同埋唔記得落鹽？牛脷本身都幾厚，但又係好淡….個色色薯條幼幼咁，冇乜特別，但心諗好彩有叫呢個薯條，因為全靠呢個薯條，我有一籃調味粉，可以加落碗沙嗲牛肉湯麵，如果冇咗呢啲調味粉，都唔知點樣先能夠食晒碗麵….都唔知點解啲人人會推介呢間舖頭，本身我都想支持多啲本地餐廳小店，但係大家對「好味」呢個標準有太大嘅分歧，唯有勸戒自己， YouTubers同Openrice嘅comments都未必可以盡信。…Read More

環保外賣紙碗紙匙羹很紮實手工仙草杯$28 芋圓+珍珠+紅豆+多一份仙草雖然冇其他連鎖芋圓店咁大碗，但係$28仙草底再可自選四種配料就絕對超值 。而且我覺得其他連鎖店大碗都係因為超多水份，而Milksha呢碗就淨係配料，額外附上一小盒椰漿，反而咁樣就唔會水汪汪，味道唔會咁淡 。Milksha嘅珍珠同芋圓基本上size差唔多，透明啲嗰粒就係珍珠。倒咗椰漿落去之後都睇唔出邊粒係芋圓邊粒係珍珠 ，𡁻起上嚟比較煙靭嗰粒就係芋圓。手工麻糬仙草杯$32芋圓+紅豆+多一份仙草另外我今次都在試買麻糬仙草杯，佢哋個麻糬甜味剛剛好，麻糬本身比較軟糯，有啲似日本湯煮年糕 。放咗喺碗底，要撩上嚟先食到，淨係食麻糬都好滋味。比起其他芋圓連鎖店，四十幾五十蚊先一碗嘅芋圓仙草凍，呢個價錢呢個質素絕對可以無限encore。本來只係買開首條飲品嘅Milksha隔咗呢兩隻甜品帶來驚喜，希望佢哋會一直買落去。…Read More

arriving there at about 12:30pm and the crowd still not yet appeared so we could get seated directly. Ordered their signature mazesoba for our first time. It took about 15 mins to prepare for our food even though there were not many people there yet. Looked around and found the guide showing the different styles of eating the mazesoba. Worth noting is the konbu vinegar. The bowls of mazesoba were smaller than what we expected. But the presentation was nice. The soba came with colour / sauce even though i hadn’t mixed it. It tasted very good!. Though they suggested adding black pepper to vary the style, i think the black pepper taste it came with is heavy and spicy enough. The two tiny pieces of chasiu are indeed very yummy 😋 really hope they can make them larger! They also recommend mixing some rice with the sauce leftover. It’s no double very tasty as the sauce itself is good. Just a tiny rice ball, so you wont feel it’s too heavy. …Read More

一入餐廳聞到花椒香氣撲鼻已經食指大動！ 好難抗拒呢種香味！其實我從來未試過酸菜魚，亦提不起勁去嘗試，今次朋友有我去試呢間麻辣烤魚窩令我很驚喜! 首先的驚喜係$6無限冰粉台! 我就食咗兩碗😋😋透明嘅冰粉望到都透心涼🥰有滋潤的桃膠，桂花蜜及軟糯嘅白珍珠，寒天晶球，黑糖紫薯，煙韌嘅葡萄乾，再加生椰🤩🤩😋😋😋正是菜牌上形容的「解辣」良方😙雜錦炸物，當中有一嚿大雞柳，兩塊炸金菇，好幾條肉條，同埋一片片嘅薄脆。當中我就最欣賞薄脆，點上甜辣雞醬，非常可口。主菜鮮青椒爽麻烤魚最後上場。一嚟到花椒嘅香味撲鼻，醬汁非常惹味，一食落去，就好似坊間「辣條」嘅惹味麻椒辣味道。湯底好夠味，條魚本身亦醃得非常入味，不停地喺度慢火煮，魚肉仍魚好滑，越煮得耐汁就越濃， 窩邊嘅豆腐就越來越入味。呢個一把楊育就麻麻哋啦，每串楊育都係丁屎咁細粒，味就OK，但不會推介。糍粑都非常之出色，可惜我哋一早就落單，所以好早就上枱，食晒所有嘢之後先食呢個糍粑當甜品，所以外層已經冇咁脆，但仍然非常軟糯，中間有唔會太甜嘅餡料。整體服務味道都好好，可惜香港嘅探魚烤魚鍋只有烤魚同豆腐，但大陸店入面已經配埋有冬粉及其他配菜，所以會更加抵食好味。…Read More

Randomly picked this place from Open Rice for meeting up my friends at 5pm. All the waiters and waitresses here had no uniform so I had no clue who I should look for when I stepped into the restaurant. Then a girl in casual wear just asked me to wait with a not very friendly attitude. The ground floor is really crammed… six diners seated at three small tables, plus one bigger round table filled with a crowd of young people laughing and playing with a dog… they are the staff here…?!?!They signalled us to go to the second floor and there were only two tables of four diners there. The boy serving us was with a cold attitude and finally we got our food. The salmon salad is normal. This scallop meitako pasta is really good. Love the special shape and the taste very much. This meitako omelet with crab meat’s highly recommended in OpenRice. But indeed, it’s rather tough… nothing special and u’ll find bits of crab shells in the omelet…. I personally would not recommend it. The drinks are normal. But the point is the servers there were absolutely far from pleasant and not attentive at all. For more than 15 mins there’s no one on the second floor. We had to go down to look for someone who could take our order and their cold manner…. We wanted to place order for the second time but in the end we gave up becoz their indifferent manner really killed our appetite. We ended up going to another restaurant. 😒 …Read More

The decoration of this dessert shop is really cute😍😍😍! It’s really spacious and I love the seats the shop provides. I order the one with sweet tofu, herbal jelly, taro mochi, sago, green beans with coconut milk. Basically they didn’t add any syrup into it. The sweetness comes from the green beans. The tofu has soy bean taste. But to be frank, it’s not my cup of tea as I prefer the traditional sweet tofu, which is much lighter and softer. This one is not as smooth and much heavier. Plus without the sweetness of the green beans, it’s rather bland…The plastic bucket it comes with is a plus. I even took it home for future use 🤭…Read More

I am always in search of pani puri as i love this Indian street snack very much but usually it’s rather pricey, like almost HK$80 for 6 balls of pani puri. I got to know this little shop from YouTube and it’s really at a good value to have 8 pieces for about HK$45. Though it’s rather distant from my home, I paid a visit and tried them. Lovely presentation and they also gave us a bottle of that traditional watery sauce to add onto the pani puri before putting it into our mouth. Crispy enough just the taste is not rich enough. It’s be better if they could have added some tamarind sauce…We also tried their Nepalese pan-fried dumpling. Juicy~ but the peanut butter dipping is not impressive. They sell made-in-HK kombucha! This fermented drink reminds me the water kefir carbonated drink! …Read More
