Compared to star cafe, their version was a bit sweeter and had a stronger tomato taste to it! It was pretty tasty for me and would be back for the noodles! MeThe lunch crowd was a bit crazy though!
Whole shrimps with small pork servings in each wonton while the dumplings had a mixture of meat and herbs which didn't appeal much to me. 4.5/5 for the wonton Mee and 3/5 for the dumpling noodles. Still trying my best to differentiate the soup bases of different restaurants as they are all too similar...
The large difference of xiumai in hk and SG is that in SG our xiumai always have this taste when you eat too much of it you feel nauseous when eating another one while in hk one can just keep on eating...
I enjoy these noodles because the first time I ate them I was allowed to put sesame sauce and sweet sauce along with chili sauce on them. But this dim sum restaurant only had chili sauce :(
No need much description for these much crazed custard buns and har Gao. I have ate better ones in Hong Kong so I would only say that they are 3.5/5 but still Better than most that I have ate in SG..
Maybe it's a specialty unique to this dim sum restaurant, the Chong fun is fried and it was quite oily. The taste was decent but was disappointed that they didn't had the Normal version for it...
Similar to the Chee Chong fun in singapore, but they are cut up and ate with satay sticks and poured with the choice of sesame sauce, sweet sauce, chilli sauce, sesame oil or/and soy sauce! It's my kind of food so it's really nice for me!
A kind of common food found in Hong Kong despite not being very local. There are a few major brands of restaurants selling the same thing at around the same price tasting almost the same, difference isn't huge to tourists but makes a world of difference to locals in terms of their soup, meat and veggies provided. At 30 HKD, this is one food that the office crowd eat during lunch time as it is filling and provides good food at a relatively cheap price. Rice vermicelli were pretty standard but the soup was really nice to drink! Another special part about hk is the choices they offer with their food. They allowed the choice of sour spicy or numb spicy(酸辣/麻辣）, degree of spiciness and also a variety of add ons, again from all kinds of meat to all kinds of balls... Overall it was pretty good and I would always eat it when I'm really hungry.
Pretty much what I ate almost everyday for breakfast since with my level of Cantonese this was the best I could order without using Mandarin in neighborhoods. It's like Singapore's Yong tau foo, you first order by saying which noodle you want, which in this case, (kway Teow, thick noodles(粗面), thin noodles(细面), yellow noodles(油面),bee hoon and vermicelli(米粉，米线). Then you give the number of ads ons, and what kind of add on you want, which is all already available like (hot dogs, xiumai, fish balls, and many other balls...) they will cook it all together and give it to you within like 3 minutes? Normally comes with a set of milk tea or soya bean! Pretty good and cheap way to eat in Hong Kong but not healthy in the long run.
Pineapple buns(菠萝包) is essentially a bun with sugar and a little crispy on the surface which makes the bun having a really nice aroma to it. Pretty good but again I'm not a fan of really sweet stuff.
Normally meals in 茶餐厅(tea cafe?) food comes in a set of a plate of noodles and a plate of toast or pineapple buns or other buns. The scrambled eggs were really nice and those toast were good too. (Of course Australian dairy serves better eggs!) *with that amount of oil...
In Hong Kong, people pretty much eat everything with Maggie Mee except won ton Mee and this is a place called "Little secret" by the nearby students and it has been here over 20 years. The beef was tender and the satay sauce goes very well with the noodles! To my understanding, because HK is a very fast paced society so they would also like their food to be served quickly, hence the Maggie mees and spaghettis.
