Taco Chaca (跑馬地)

Glad to see another newly opened restaurant in Happy Valley!

Don't remember when was the last time I had Mexican food but somehow when I first seen this shop, I had strong motivation to go in to give it a try.

The shop gave me an impression of clean and cool looking. Since I was already running late for an appointment, I only ordered a burito and taco for take away.The lady in there was very very efficient. She is not only the cashier but also responsible for cooking. The whole process only took her around 7 minutes I guess and the food was well above average

Since I didn't eat the taco, I will only comment on the burrito. I have to admitted that the burrito was in perfect harmony. The carne asada was a little juicy, not dry like most carne asada I have had. However, there were several bits and pieces of tendon. Small hiccup in an otherwise good burrito, I guess.

The rice and beans inside the burrito is usually what I would eat on a plate as side dishes. The rice and beans provided a nice contrast to the meat inside the burrito.I will definitely come back again for another burrito!

Shake'em Buns (中環)

Shake'em Buns was my all time favourite burger shop. I still remember there was always a long queue when they first opened in Star Street. They have expanded into Causeway and Central couple years ago but somehow Central store is the only one that is left...

This is actually the first time I visited their Central store. The reason I came here was that I suddenly starved for good burger and realize that Shake'em bun is the only store I liked.

I came here at around 3pm. Surprisingly there was only a few customers inside. Once again I ordered my favourvite Hawaiian surfer girl ?? (burger with pineapple and bacon). As usual, I didn't ordered anything to drink as the burger is juicy enough to keep me away from thirst.

There were only 2 staff at the time I entered the shop. One was concentrated on preparing the burger patties. The other one was the cashier and cook. The time it took them to get my burger was around 7 minutes since I paid? I would say the quality of the burger was still as good as it was the last time I ate them in their already closed Wanchai store. The meat patty was juicy and most importantly tender. The bacon was crunchy and the pineapply was grilled properly. There is nothing I can complain about the burger at all and I believe it is still the number one burger store in Hong KOng. I hope the owner will consider opening more branch store so that I don't have to come up to Central everytime I want to have a good burger.

Al Dente (灣仔)

Al dente has always been my Favourite restaurant not only because of the great taste of food but also because they sell them at a reasonable price. Once again, we decided to come over for a Saturday lunch.

I have been hungered for steak for quite a while and so I ordered a steak with smoked salmon salad. My friend Johnny on the other hand, ordered a lamb chop with caesar salad. Before the starter came, the waiter kindly gave us some bread. I appreciated they gave out the bread for free ; however, the bread's testure was more like muffin and it does not go too well with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. My smoked salmon salad was on my expectation. The vegetables were fresh and the smoked salmon was average. Johnny also said that his caesar salad was quite good with just enough mayonaisse sauce which makes it not too heavy.

Later on, our main course arrived. My steak was on my disappointment. I can only taste nothing but smoky flavor.! When asked about Johnny how his lamb was, he said he likes it a lot!

Pokka Cafe (太古)

不知有多久沒去過pokka了，今日經開吉之島見到有間就入去試試。

本想食pizza,但原來未夠十一点,只可叫早餐，在menu上看到個set brunch都只係六十多元，抵食，立即去馬落order。大約等了十多分鐘，兩份新鮮早餐立即送上。我叫的太陽蛋火腿漢堡扒餐，太陽蛋煎得晶瑩通透，最like的是蛋黃真的像太陽，且是流心的，實太難能可貴。漢堡扒ok, quite juicy。家明的smoked salmon 也不錯，salmon既鮮又甜，炒蛋也是非常之滑。唯一不like的是個salad賣相很差！

龍鳳冰室 (大坑)

以前去過的茶餐廳總給我一個不乾淨、侍應粗魯的感覺。不過今日到過大坑的龍鳳茶餐廳後，我對茶記的感覺完全改觀。

先說樓面。樓底相當高，進入後完全不覺焗綀。食物方面，我們點了兩客通粉配炒蛋。之前去過跑馬地的祥x，叫了同一樣的食物竟有天壤之比。這裡的炒蛋是即叫即整的，多士厚身加上烘得鬆脆。炒蛋也炒得半生熟，賣相相當靚仔，食落蛋味夠加上夠滑，可以說是無懈可擊。通粉方面無什可評，唯一要讚的是上面有些食落似鮑魚的物體，二十八蚊的價錢認真超值。

順帶一提，這裡的侍應相當友善，跟一般荼記粗聲粗氣的不同。
