Solid Western Food at iSTEAKS Diner Holland Village

Yk suggested visiting iSTEAKS for nomnoms one boring weekend so we up-ed and went off to Holland Village for some steak and chops.

The environment was pretty nice, abit like a laid back family meat shop:

We ordered a chicken with black pepper and tenderloin 200g in black pepper at the front cashier and I started off with an Australian wheat beer (according to the bottle label).

The black pepper chicken with Mac and cheese and broccoli cream arrived first.

The chicken was nicely grilled and superbly tender. The sides were big, a big dollop of mac n cheese and broccoli cream. Looks like half a head of brocoli cream. For $9, I think it's really worth it.

The tenderloin arrived next.

The presentation looks abit underwhelming, but once I cut the steak.. It suddenly got much better.

The 200g Tenderloin was juicy and tender, for lack of better words lol. I really enjoyed it with the black pepper sauce and mustard. I found this 200g of tenderloin pretty worth it! However I would probably get either the ribeye or sirloin in the future since I find tenderloin's flavors less complex.

- update -
I did get the ribeye on my next visit! It was satisfying.

Hong Kong Family Trip 20 - 23 Oct 2016 Day 4 - Hong Kong Heritage Museum / Tai Cheong Bakery

This is the last day of our trip! We had time in the morning (or so I thought) and decided to make a trip to the Hong Kong Heritage Museum at Sha Tin. The HK Heritage Museum showcases history, art and culture.

Check out the general attitude towards my incessant photography in the morning.

We got off at Che Kung Temple Station (Exit 2A) and met 2 cuties on the way to the museum.

Now you see them

Now you don't 

We had to cross the Shing Mun river to get to the museum and I just had to take the view on either side. 

Walk on..... 

Finally!! 

There are 12 exhibition halls in this museum. We only visited 3: Chao Shao An Gallery (no pics), Cantonese Opera Heritage Hall:

and one of the highlights of the Heritage Museum: the Bruce Lee - Kung Fu, Art, Life exhibition.

Lol.

There's an app you can download for the Bruce Lee exhibition and with it, you can have your pic taken with Bruce Lee.

Yk holding hands with him

Oooo, strong chest

A shoulder to rest on

LOL. I really enjoyed the exhibition. In fact we enjoyed it so much that we had to rush to Central for lunch. We had planned to lunch at Yat Lok but when we reached, the crowd was like..... 

Look at mummy's face LOL

We decided to pack some food away so as to return to the apt for check out. Before we rushed off, had to take this picture:

Classic view of HK Central

Annnd it was back to apartment, pack pack rush rush. We got an Uber to transport us to the airport. That was a high-stress endeavor because both Da Jie and I totally depleted our data (reckless streaming thinking we would never use up all e data)  and could only get the Uber with the apartment wifi and the road in front of the apartment isn't exactly the most parking /Uber friendly. The apt was also totally the young n dangerous type of apt:

In any case, I booked the Uber and ran downstairs, with totally no data, getting ready for a h*ll of a hard time locating the driver. But, luck was on our side, and I sighted the Uber almost immediately. And as I walked towards the Uber, everyone came down with all the barang barang. I was like... Omgggg.. Light shine on ussss... Yehhh, so we all bundled into the Uber and off towards the airport. (BTW side note: all the Ubers that we booked in HK were huge comfy big cars, v niceeee)  

The sun was setting as we cruised towards the airport.

Beautiful!! 

Reached airport in good time, boarded plane safely and here's one of my fav things on the plane. Lolol. 

Bye bye HK, back to Sg! 

Hong Kong Family Trip 20-23 Oct 2016 Day 3 - One Dim Sum / Causeway Bay / Ichiran Ramen

We started off the morning with One Dimsum near the Prince Edward Station. One Dimsum was awarded a michelin 1-star in 2012 and is a popular dim sum spot. When we reached, there was a pretty long queue.

Since we had abit of time, yk n dj stayed to queue while mummy daddy and I went to visit the flower market nearby. 

I'm not sure what kind of bulbs these were but quite interesting. We even saw a mini apple tree! Hope it's real....

We din walk far before we were summoned back to One Dim Sum by the sisters. The queue moved relatively fast that day. After we ordered the food, time to eat!! We were hungry and I couldn't really stop to take photos since I was too busy holding my chopsticks. Here are some random pics of the yums dim sum.

One Dimsum serves high quality dim sum at an affordable price (hk standard). Will always pay a visit to this place when visiting HK.

Today was Causeway Bay Uniqlo day, so we made a move to CWB via the MTR again.

I had planned for us to visit a market via the tram but the idea was shot down, so shopping it was! Daddy got a pair of jeans, and we hung around waiting for it to be altered.

After we collected the jeans, time for eating!!! Since we were at Causeway Bay, we definitely have to eat Ichiran!!

Ichiran!!! Seriously, Ichiran's soup is yummyyy. Mummy and Daddy both agreed Ichiran rocks. 

After Ichiran, it was finally.. My ding ding ride! The tram which I wanted to ride on for a while. But unexpectedly the tram was sooo crowded and the sun was like shining down on us... So we gave up and proceeded towards the MTR. Lol. My ding ding ride ended even before it started. 

We were all tired so we packed some food and made our way back to the apartment. Mum was tired and grouchy and so was I. Think we weren't really polite to each other while packing food back. I got some noodles from Good Hope... I don't think I remember how they tasted like since they were forgettable. After dinner.. Concussion!!
