Savoury and sweet

It's my good friend's birthday in a couple of days, so the group of us asked the usual "go where? eat what?" I haven't been out in ages but i heard this place called Old Hong Kong serves really good dimsum, so we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately when we got there, we realised that they didn't serve dimsum for dinner..bummer. Oh well, like that will stop us from eating (fine fine, i speak for myself).

Hokaay...lessee...1st up was the fried carrot cake. Good good. Friend 1 doesn't eat bean sprouts which was fried together with it (not the usual way we are used to). No problem, the remaining 3 of us picked it out and in the stomach it goes. I really like this dish, think i can eat like 10 plates of this.

The next was this homemade tofu dish, fried with scallops and mushrooms. This was yummy too. We each had one (me starting to thinks de portions are a tad too small). We also ordered kailan fried with garlic.

Then the evil fried stuff started coming up. fried chicken wings with prawn paste. Thought the kid (birthday friend's 4yr old girl joined us) would like fried wings, which kid doesnt like fried wings? but she went for something else..

No..not the deep fried prawn balls with salted egg yolk – she went for the deep fried bread coating -_-

There was also the fried wantons. By now, I actually started to feel quite full. Whoever said the portions looked small huh? Actually, they were small portions, just that the food with the exception of the carrot cake and the tofu were on the salty side, so...kinda cant eat too much of it, plus hyper child wanted fried bread coating, friend that doesn't eat bean sprouts was watching what she eats (and i didnt exactly order the healthiest dishes), birthday girl's husband had plans to go for a 2nd round at another Hong Kong cafe and was saving his stomach.

After dinner, we headed to the Hong Kong cafe for coffee and he got this thick sliced french toast, everyone else got drinks and i got the mountain of ice to share with the 4yr old :D

Before we got to the 2nd Hong Kong cafe, i went to get breakfast for tomorrow and saw these muffins. Couldnt resist, so i got 6. They do sell them individually but hey, buy 5 get 1 free!

Can't believe i got hungry blogging and seeing my own pics...i ate a strawberry one -_-"
