豆芽

家附近的超級市場停售我最愛的豆芽,又少去街市,在網上看到可以用膠樽自已種...

沒想到自己種出來的跟買的一樣 :>


種了一個禮拜,5分鐘就被吃光了!

Nadaman-Shanghai

A lunch set about $100 dollars :-


No wonder it's very popular with Japanese ladies who have small appetite. But all their other set lunches are quite reasonably priced, guess it's because the hotel is located in Pu Dong?

魯一居

Was around the area and eager to try out the restaurant. Not many Shandong restaurant in Hong Kong.

Well, the menu looks more like a normal Shanghai/Beijing restaurant and didn't notice much special Shandong dishes. Would be helpful if there is some indication for the specialties.

Guess we didn't pick the right item...

Stir fried walnut and chicken(醬爆雞丁) - the chicken is alright but some larger pieces didn't have much flavor, also the walnuts are stale, which ruined the whole dish.

Ordered the Shandong fish dumpling and this showed up. When questioned, the waitress told us that the fish dumplings were sold out. Wonder why we were not told when ordering? Anyway, since it's already there and was very hungry, decided to have the pork & vegetable dumpling in chili sauce(紅油抄手) and not to sent it back.

The dishes were all very oily(even the stir fried vegetable with garlic), and felt stuffed after the meal and didn't even feel like having dinner afterwards.

Saw a lot of articles on newspaper and magazines recommending this place, was quite disappointed.

茶餐廳

《我在茶餐廳品嘗到愛》

作者：周淑屏及洪佩珊著

從C處借來了這本書，讀後有感而發。我對茶餐廳的記憶，多數與J有關。 J為少數不挑食的乖寶寶，又肯陪我試新地方，不介意從5元魚蛋吃到4位數字的法國大餐。

我倆以前常去灣仔巷子裏的一間茶餐廳，二人叫一份午餐分、加2杯飲品。印象中那間茶餐廳的份量很大(因為1時前午市的主要客源為裝修師父)，總是你推我讓要對方把飯吃完。茶餐廳的阿哥們到後來見到我們就會自動放下2個碗仔給我們分飯。可惜這家茶餐廳現在已結業了。

美都是 J的好介紹。焗豬扒飯、西多士真是百吃不厭。人多的時候還可以叫個廈門炒米。加一杯奶茶或凍唂咕，看廟街的攤販開檔，有一搭沒一搭的聊聊天，消磨一個悠閒的黃昏。也許這是我對美都的印象比作者來的要好的多的原因吧。

還有在旺角極之好吃車仔麵和炒出前一丁、匆匆擠在永遠人山人海的蘭芳園吃的葱油心多多/豬揼兜撈丁、豬扒包和絲襪奶茶或是澳門茶餐廳的豬扒包...

不論一個人或是一堆人，趕時間或是消磨時間，茶餐廳都是個好去處。同意C的說法 - 我愛茶餐廳。

一碗麵

Choose this restaurant for Mom as she likes noodles. So there's a lot of comment coming from her.
Smoked fish (薰魚). Mom orders it whenever she sees it on the menu and usually finished the whole plate by herself. Uhm..I only remembered to take a photo after we each took a piece. The dish remained untouched after that.
Boiled pork with garlic sauce. It's tasty and a bit too spicy for me. But Mom commented it's not made in the "traditional" style, were you cook the meat than slice it thinly instead of using "hot-pot" type of pork. Well, it's not a "traditional" Chinese restaurant so maybe shouldn't be too fussy.
Vietnamese spring roll. Mom again think it's not very "authentic". (See, I'm really not picky when it comes to food)
The famous $180 beef noodle. The noodle is chewy but not hard, and even for someone who doesn't like noodle like me think it's very good. The beef is very tender and richly flavoured, with very thick soup. It's good but guess it's very personal opinion whether it's worth that much.
This was highly recommended by a friend and otherwise probably would never try/or even notice the mango cake. This turned out to be the best ! Soft and fluffy cake with lots of cream and mango and mango puree on the plate. Well, it's $40 per piece but...

Mom classified this as a "try once and no need to go back" type of restaurant. Won't say their food is not nice, just considering the price, environment and the food, it's not that outstanding.

Nobu again

Anago sushi. tender, delicious and melt in your mouth.

Salad that came with the set lunch.Black Cod Saikyo yaki. If my Mom said it's good, then it's really good.

Australia Wagyu steak with Terriyaki sauce. Well, maybe should just get a piece of Japan Wagyu steak from the supermarket next time. Nothing wrong with the steak, it's juicy and tasty, just nothing special either...
Of course, the perfect view.

Also had Green tea cake with sesame paste and lime sorbet. Uhm...the combination is surprisingly pleasing.

The price for the lunch is enough for a decent dinner, but then again, the view at night is going to be a lot more expensive...

Cakes

Wonder why someone on no-carbohydrate diet ate so many cakes...

These two were from Antique...(counter in Sogo)

Well, a bit too sweet...
Had this one in IFC. A bitter sweet chocolate tart. Yummy, perfect match with a cup of coffee.
