Portuguese Sausage & Eggs - TNT Aloha Cafe

$9.5 + Tax

I came to this place for breakfast because I was waiting for the Minute Clinic from across the street to open so I could register myself on its kiosk.  I couldn't book an appointment online at home because the Minute Clinic's online booking system and its kiosk on the premise didn't operate outside the clinic's operating hours.  How absurd is this?   While waiting for the clinic's kiosk to start operation at 9am,  I went on Yelp to see what good restaurant was around me for breakfast.  That's why I was here.

Yelp had misled me once again, the breakfast that I had at this restaurant was one of the worst breakfasts I ever had!  The breakfast potato had that hint of rancid smell and taste that I always hate.  This was not like the potato tots I had at the other restaurant that I happily stumbled upon.  Then there was this stinky flavor and smell with the Portuguese Sausage.  The regular sausage  from the grocery stores' freezers are so much better!  The sausage at McDonald's is also a lot better than this Portuguese Sausage  even though the ones at McDonald's are much thinner than this. I would rather have a tiny piece of normal tasting sausage from McDonald's than a big thick piece of stinky Portuguese Sausage.  There was just this gamy and stinky smell of the less quality pork that turned me off. Is this even how Portuguese Sausage is supposed to smell and taste?  I don't know since this is the first time I had Portuguese Sausage.  The eggs were decent though.  The wheat toasts that I had were also typical of supermarket bought wheat bread, which were also okay to me after I tore out the edges (crust) and just ate the soft center.   This is the kind of bread I won't use at home if I'm to make my own toasts though.  I don't like any toast that I can't eat the edges (crust) because of the taste and smell of staleness, which is how the crust of supermarket packaged bread always tastes.

According to Yelp, the coffee at this place was delicious.  Excuse me?  The coffee at this place was also horrible. How can anyone think the coffee at this place is delicious? This is why I started this blog, it's because I want to take note on what I don't like so I won't be misled by Yelp again to order the same dish I dislike.  I don't think I will be back to this restaurant soon, but if I am, I will definitely not order this dish again.

Prime Beef Shabu - King Shabu Shabu

$22 + Tax I love Shabu-Shabu.  I can have this for lunch and dinner everyday if only I can afford to.  I don't cook but I love this cook-it-yourself table top cooking format at a Shabu-Shabu restaurant. I was never a fan of this dining format until I discovered this restaurant .  I had visited a few Shabu places before but I never liked it.  Back then, I felt the meat was gamy, and the dipping sauce too boring.  I used to think Shabu was bland and overall not that appetizing.  But this place completely changed my feeling for Shabu-Shabu.  I think the quality of the ingredients really make a huge difference.  The meat here is of very high quality!  The ponzu sauce and goma (sesame) sauce here are the best tasting dipping sauces I've had among all Shabu places.   A meal like this may look easy to replicate at home, but not really.  I did try a few times but it was never as good.  I wasn't able to get the ponzu and goma sauce to taste as good as the sauces in this p

Golden Buckwheat Crisp Balls + Longan Cake - Eva Air

Image
Free for all passengers on board Eva Air enroute from Macau to Taipei Since I'm so used to flying from New York City to Los Angeles without being given any snacks or even a small bag of peanuts, I was pleasantly surprised to be receiving a snack tray during my 1 hour and 50 minutes' short flight from Macau to Taipei.  The little bag of Balls Crisps were so crunchy and delicious!   I don't usually like dried rice cereals or any dried snacks, but I love these Balls Crisps very much. They just had such great flavors.  The longan cake was like raisins cake, but instead of raisins, the dried longan fruits were used. For those of you who had never eaten a longan, it's a very delicious fruit that looks like a big pearl after being peeled from its skin.  Due to its appearance, it's also called Dragon's Eye by the Cantonese Chinese. The longan fruit is very sweet, fresh or dried. The cake was delicious, but my cake unfortunately came with some sand inside the cake,

Berrytale - 85 °C Bakery Cafe

$1.5+Tax The is the sweet roll that I always crave for in the morning and in the afternoon.  They are great for breakfast or afternoon tea.  I once brought a dozen of this to my work's morning meeting, and all my colleagues were fighting for a second.  This freshly baked sweet roll is so good it's addictive.  The roll is freshly baked many times a day at this bakery because it sells so fast. It's filled with blueberry cream inside and topped with a dot of blueberry jam.  The sweet buttery crust on top of the bun is always very fresh and delicious.  After trying out this roll, my colleagues now can't go back to the average donuts in the pink box.  The difference between this roll and the typical donuts in pink boxes is the ingredient.  This roll tastes really good with good ingredients, while the average donuts are probably sweetened with corn syrup, deep fried in old oil and  filled with Crisco instead of real cream.  I never liked the average donuts in pink boxes
