ordered the double dill.pros:-bun well toasted-large portioncons:-bacon was not properly cooked (hope i will be ok...)-color of patties were red brown which is odd; would expect brown.-texture was not all beef, broke apart somewhat easily, very likely to contain fillers.-as Gordon Ramsay would say, needs seasoning.the bacon was probably a one off thing but the burger patty issue is not, so i will not be coming back. your mileage may vary.…查看更多

Read online that this restaurant had jumbo pineapple buns.It was indeed jumbo, at least 50% larger than regular. Sadly, the butter was not upsized and so the bun to butter ratio felt out of whack and took away from the experience.Additionally, as I was eating, I was interrupted and berated by some female staff member for not folding up and replacing the menu on the menu stand, mentioning that the menu was getting dirtied by the falling pineapple bun bits. Just clean and sanitize the menus FFS. What a disgusting service attitude!Beware there is HKD 18 minimum charge per pax so was forced to order something else (salted beef sandwich which was barely edible). Understand why some places have minimum charges but shocked and egregious that a cheap establishment like this would have one. We don’t have huge appetites and were in the midst of a 9 eatery food tour so this really took away from things. Choice was to be ripped off, feel disgusted, or both.…查看更多

I had these egg tarts recently and they were so good I felt like having more today.I was at the airport and was not sure they would be open by the time I would get there so I called ahead and the shopkeeper said they would be open and agreed to reserve 4 for yours truly. So imagine my surprise/shock/anger when upon my arrival, after I had travelled all the way from the airport, the shopkeeper sheepishly grins and says they are sold out. It would all have been excusable but for the fact that I had asked and she had agreed to reserve the tarts for me. I gave her a short lecture on living up to one’s commitments and that she had essentially wasted an hour and a half of my time traveling for nothing.In the end—at my suggestion—they made another dozen for me after I agreed to buy the whole dozen (at a paltry HKD 6 discount only after I asked). As luck would turn out, other customers wanted egg tarts too so I only had to be responsible for 8 (conveniently didn’t give discount).I think the least she could have done in the first instance was to offer me a discount or some other product on the house given it was her mistake. I guess it simply isn’t the way Hong Kong businesses are run. All she did was continually apologize and tell me to come back another day—I was seriously contemplating never coming back.I will come back for the egg tarts and do appreciate that they made more but note it would have been better had they been more customer oriented and proactive in remediating what was their mistake.…查看更多

Came here after reading about this place online, did not regret it. Egg tart was anazing—well made flaky crust, strong egg flavor, Goldilocks sweetness and temperature.Portuguese tart was nothing special, was cold and tasted worse than the egg tart. Coconut tart was far too dry.They have other baked goods like Swiss rolls, pineapple buns but I did not try... did not look appealing.Bonus: shopkeepers understand English!…查看更多

I had their roast pork (燒肉) dine in. When you dine in you cannot buy by weight, only order standard portions.It was so horrible—dry, tough, cold—the slightly crispy skin could not redeem it.Service was horrible: asked the difference between the different roast meats (燒腩，燒肉, etc.) and they pointed to 3 hanging pieces of meat which looked the same and didn’t say more. They didn’t suggest that I could order a platter with triple or double choices either.This place has lineups but they are so overrated. Hygiene is standardly egregious.…查看更多

Love the tea buffet, regular here.Hot dishes: pizza, tempura, chicken wings, fish cakes, ribs, puff pastries, pastas, mini hamburgers, curries, made to order noodles, Chinese and western style soup, Chinese dimsum and stir fried dishes, etc.Cold dishes: assortment of salad veggies, mussels, prawns, bite sized sandwiches and wraps, sushi, sashimi (salmon, tuna, some other choices), fresh fruit (watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew?)Desserts: soufflés!!!, excellent bread pudding, durian stuffed deep fried French toast, molten cake (different flavor depending on when you go), made to order waffles and crêpes, chocolate fountain, variety of cakes and pastries (mango napoleons, lamingtons, mochi style.Drinks (self serve): coffee station, ginger honey, lemon slices, tea, etc.Most items are good, some only ok. Some standouts include the tempura, bread pudding, mango napoleon, creme brûlée, waffles, serradura, soufflés. You can tell by what I've had seconds or thirds of.Notwithstanding the above, highlight is absolutely the Haagen Dazs ice cream bars and ice cream cups? 5 flavors each!…查看更多

Was in the area and hungry. Felt like having noodles. Settled on this place after walking around a while. Saw a Yuen Kee Restaurant nearby afterwards so may try that next time.Ordered the beef tendon noodle. The tendons were quite hard and not tender at all. Noodles were nothing special. Haven't tried other menu items but won't be going back for beef tendons. Not very clean.…查看更多

Was in the area and again looking for noodles. Found this gem which has very good beef tendon.I ordered beef tendon rice noodle. Beef tendons well flavored and very tender, but not "chu hau" style. I prefer "chu hau" style so probably won't go back. Reasonable portion for the price.Its located down a wide alleyway and looks a bit run down on the outside but quite a few customers.…查看更多

I love Applegreen. Not too many places in HK that pays reasonable attention to salads as a raison d'être, i.e. centerpiece of meal, (California Pizza Kitchen is another I can think of) with value for money. Had the Fiber and the Monte Carlo (on different occasions).This location has changed their menu so sadly these delicious salads are no longer available! They now have this salad bar + optional mains for lunch and dinner. Looking forward to giving it a try!…查看更多

Probably shouldn't order beef tendon from what looks to be a shrimp wonton specialist. But I was hungry and so gave it a shot. Price is an it high given portion and taste.They only serve egg noodle here, (i.e. no rice string, rice noodle etc). As with all other derivatives of Mak Un, portions are small (bowl was bigger here though).Beef tendons quite hard and not tender. Flavor was normal. Noodles were good and springy.Wouldn't recommend for beef tendon.…查看更多

I've been here multiple times and every time it's amazingly delicious ! I've tried the grass fed beef bolognese rice with egg, beef and leek rice, and the wild halibut. Good balance of vegetables. Also includes nutritional info for the calorie/carb/protein counters out there!Trying to eat grass fed beef, organic chicken, and wild caught fish is difficult sometimes, so really nice to find a place that is so focused on organic and healthy!…查看更多

I have walked by Paul Lafayet at K11 quite a few times and always wanted to try.Finally tried the Blueberry Chocolate dome. It's a rich, chocolate mouse encasing a small blueberry core. I must say that the balance between blueberry and chocolate is probably 20/80. Although I love chocolate, given the name of the item I was expecting something with a little bit more balance. Nonetheless, this was excellent.At HKD 40 a pop, this is as pricey as the Mandarin Cake Shop. But with a location in Shatin, at least now I do not have to travel to Central for a chocolate cake fix.…查看更多

I recently came upon this place on Openrice and wanted to try it out. Their lunch menu has quite a few selections and includes a soup, a mains, a dessert, and a set drink. Prices range from $78 to $108. Decor is modern, white themed. There are views of the other buildings nearby. I think the view might be more attractive at night. Service was good, smiles and attitude from the servers. They have a high tea set for two( with the 3 tiered trays of sandwiches, cakes, and other goodies). Other patrons were ordering that, so I might come back and try with a friend.FoodI went with a baked pork loin with tomato and cheese. It came with cooked vegetables and french fries. It would have been nice if they had asked what sides you would want, as I would not have chosen french fries. Too "heaty". The pork loin was flavorful but a bit tough. Everything else was good. I'm no expert on french fries, but I tried one and it seemed pretty good.Dessert was blueberry cheesecake. Quite delicious. Exceeded my expectations. I chose a hot cappucino for the set drink. It was good.OverallGood choice for a quiet, relaxing lunch on the weekend.…查看更多

LaVilla has a really good semi buffet lunch. The environment is nice, featuring dark modern decor, and there are views of Victoria Harbor. The seating is quite spacious.FoodYou can choose buffet only or, for those of us who want something hot in our stomachs aside from soup, buffet and a main.I typically go for the buffet only because it's quite the light and healthy choice. They have smoked salmon, seared tuna, cold cuts, parma ham and melon, a hot soup, and an assortment of salads and other cold dishes.For dessert there are around four to five varieties, a fresh fruit salad, and a selection of homemade sorbet (lime and raspberry) and ice cream (vanilla and mango). I particularly like the lime sorbet as it is quite refreshing. The vanilla ice cream is kind of like Movenpick's, with specks of vanilla bean. They have this interesting pink mineral salt that you can try. Can't really taste the difference myself, but it is quite the novelty.Overall, this is a great place to have a relaxing lunch.…查看更多

I've been here for both dinner and late night.Their BBQ pork is really excellent. I always order a BBQ pork rice I am here. The right balance of fat and meat, it is very flavorful and tender. Even better deal during the late night menu.Personally, I prefer this type of BBQ pork over the more traditional type served like places like Joy Hing in Wan Chai.…查看更多
