Little Burro - Not as fresh as I expected

Price: $

Cravingness: ★☆☆☆☆

I always joke about franchising Chipotle to Hong Kong. Giving its popularity in the US, I would make lots of money here. I guess the owner of Little Burro had the same thought, but instead of franchising, they opened their own concept store, Little Burro at Causeway Bay. Having a slight difference thought on location though, I would have chose Wanchai or Central. It seems it could generate more lunch/ dinner crowds.

Lung Fung Cafe - Meh...Microwaved food!?

Price: $

Cravingness: ★☆☆☆☆

Spam Sandwich with Scramble Egg and Caviar

Long has Lung Fung Cafe opened in Tai hang and knowing it is opened by a local comedian/ actor, I was never interested in dining there. I had heard some bad comments about the Cha Chaan Tan but I never listen unless I try it myself. Judging from the photos hanging from the windows outside the Cha Chaan Teng, even it was absolutely empty at 8.30pm on a Sunday night, we went in without concerned.

Pak Dong - "Authentic" Hainan Chicken

Price: $

Cravingness: ★☆☆☆☆

I went all the way to Amoy Plaza's Pak Dong Hainan Chicken as it claims to offer "authentic" Hainan Chicken. I checked the reviews which was quite positive and promising, yet you should never trust anyone's taste bud but yours.

Duddell's - Celebrity Canto Diner

Price: $$$$

Cravingness: ★☆☆☆☆

Duddell's is a recently opened Cantonese restaurant that is meant to make a wow on Duddell's street. Duddell's combines fine Cantonese food and fine art in one setting. The two floors 8,000 square feet restaurant is spacious enough to accommodate different sizes of arts, I particularly admire the ones along the staircase, while the ones at the front doors (see photo below) were too artistic to me lol.

Silly Boo - Terrible Froyo

Price: $

Cravingness: ★☆☆☆☆

I have been to Sillyboo for quite a few times but never really wrote a review on it. Froyo was actually my intiative to start my own blog, then share reviews in different platforms. Froyo race was once my big goal when the froyo stores in Hong Kong can be counted with your two hands.

Same as many froyo stores, Sillyboo has several froyo machines for original flavour and seasonal flavours. Sillyboo offers free tasting of their froyo before making your final choice. The flavours of the day that I went were Caramel, Mango and Original. I asked for a tasting of the caramel froyo and found it was crazily sweet, so I went for the safe choice, the original flavour.

Panda | Hip Curry Resto But Would Not Try Twice

Panda Japanese Homestyle Curry
G/F,94 Tung Lo Wan Road, Tai Han
☏ 2503-5888
Date of Dinning: 25 JUN 2011 (Sat)
Price: $100 - $150

Saturday 3pm we were planning to late lunch at Daruma Ramen House at Tai Hang, but found it was closed (idle hours). Under the hot sun, we decided to go anywhere that would take us instantly, and here we go at Panda Curry. There weren't any lunch/ tea sets available so we had to order a la carte at menu price.

The interior decor was pretty cool and modern. There was a huge panda figure hanging on the ceiling which didn't seem very safe and seemingly would fall any minute. The sofa booster was extremely uncomfortable, overly soft and u felt sinking the minute you seat down. We changed to another table with wooden chair.

Ginza Bairin - Bad Tonkatsu at Sogo!

★☆☆☆☆

$

With a drooling aroma, i brought take away from this little shop at Sogo basement for Lunch today. While planning to cut down spending, I realised my lunch costed $96. Such a failure.

Super Star Seafood Restaurant - Dim Sum Sunday

As a family tradition, we have dim sum every Sunday afternoon. To be honest, there is not much variation in dim sum which I sometimes get sick of their look and taste.

Today we went to Super Star Seafood Restaurant in Times Square.  I laughed at how lame the restaurant's name is, Super Star Seafood Restaurant! Very old fashioned. There was a lot of people waiting for seats but we got ours within 15 minutes or so.

宏發燒臘 -| Mediocre Roasties at Attractive Price

Having much work to do at office, I decided to eat take away for lunch today. Speaking of take away food, I immediately thought of this roasts take away store that I passed by several times a week. When I arrive the restaurant, there was a few people queuing for the lunch boxes. A lunch box with 2 roasties cost only $20 which was quite a bargain.

Du Lac Bleu | Quickie at CWB

I recently found out it is pretty difficult to find a restaurant that you have never visited before and at reasonable price. We remembered there is a Cha Chaan Teng that does pot rice in Jardine's Street and went straight down to fill our stomach.

The restaurant was packed on a Sunday evening, the waitress directed us to the second floor where more seats are available. The restaurant on the second floor where interior was simple and seemingly less nicely furnished. Tables and chairs were simple wooden chair. There were several fans hanged on the high wall and producing breezy winds. Heaps of picture sticked on wall showing their significant dishes in the restaurants.

Froyo Race Stop 9 ♥ Yogurt Bliss

I usually came to this street specifically for Pizza Express or Fu San Korean Food, I love the two restaurants so much that I never failed to stuff myself overly much every time. Yogurt Bliss was one of the stores that caught my attention but I never had a chance to try it. Since I love froyo and my froyo race is still going on, today I skipped dinner and went to try their froyo out.

Chairman Cheung | The Recent Gourmet Fad

The recent gourmet fad seemed to lay on a brand new little store called Chairman Cheung Taiwanese Beef Noodles Restaurant, located in one of the most hectic area in Causeway Bay. Influenced by its fame, I went to try it out right after watching the musical the Octave. Having heard of the crazy queue in front of the store, 6.30pm seemed to be the perfect time for a no-queue dinning. We were lucky that we got our seating once we arrived the restaurant, it was nearly full at that time already.

The restaurant was actually way smaller than I expected. You could literally make a full view of the restaurant in one glance. The decor was simple and dominated in yellow colour. The restaurant were extremely squash, the tables and seating were set parallel to each other. You have to squeeze between table to get to the sofa seating, not to mention you would be real close to the customers next to you, you could literally laugh at their funny conversion at some point. So privacy was not guaranteed.

Dried Beef Noodles with Wonton

Oliver's Super Oh No Baked Potato

My lunch was at Oliver’s Super Sandwiches today which I tried their baked Potatoes out. The photos on their menu were appealing, so I had a difficult time in making my choice. Oliver’s also offers a choice called Double Jollies, which you can choose two of your favourite toppings among the first eight flavours. The caption ‘Choice of Toppings includes E1-E8’ was real small that I literally missed it, made an invalid combination of choice and had to make another combination of choice when I was at the cashier.

Sweet Secrets

I have heard that Sweet Secrets offers nice cheesecakes, so I decided to have a few pieces today after I had my light lunch. Sweet Secrets were located around the corner behind the hectic Times Square Shopping Center, It was décor in an eye-catching Jasmine purple, so whoever drives past the shop should have notice its present. Under this burning temperature, you will understand what heaven is once you stepped into the shop. The shop had a strong cooling air-conditioning, possibly to provide the best environment to store their cakes. The shop is pretty small, I bet it could only fit in 4-5 individual customers at a time. The cake display is shown facing the street, so you have to walk out of the shop to check the cakes out.

OWL | Eating Art

Searching a spot in Openrice.com with relaxing atmosphere for friends chitchatting and catching up, I came across Café OWL and decided to pay a visit there. Pouring rain on this Saturday afternoon, My friends and I met at Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Exit B, and thanks for the Café’s location, we weren’t soaking wet as the Café was just 5 minutes walked from the MTR Exit.

Knowing little about the café, my friend and I were amazed and impressed by the interior furnishing of the Café once the elevator door slid wide. We didn’t expect any nice café in this building not to mention an up scale one. We were brought to a window seating. Locating on 5/F floor, a full overview of the hustle pedestrian street was at sight, pretty awesome. The interior furnishing looked classy and there were graffiti everywhere around the café. Ladies would probably use the washroom longer than usual, as the 4 walls were nicely drawn with remarkable graffiti, each expressing its own thoughts.

Glico Pejoy - Maccha Mousse

Cravingness: ★☆☆☆☆

New tried flavour is the Muccha Mousse in a name of Pejoy under Glico which I have never heard before. What is special about Pejoy is that the fillings are inserted within the bread stick instead of coating on it the conventional way, but I am sure you should have tried someone similar under different brand names before. I wasn't realise the box came with two separate packages, which is good 'coz I don't need to consume the whole box in one go.
