Meeting boyfriend in Kwun Tong to look at few art galleries in the area, I noticed he hadn't eaten. So, instead of APM, he took me across the street to E plaza.E plaza, I discovered had a lot of small restaurants. Each of them not expensive at all. A whole mall with cheap eats!After a bit of walking about, we decided on 米拉 (English name: Mila). Like most restaurants here, they have seating in the hallway.Menu is in Chinese only. There is no 10% service charge. What they serve here is Taiwanese
E plaza, I discovered had a lot of small restaurants. Each of them not expensive at all. A whole mall with cheap eats!
After a bit of walking about, we decided on 米拉 (English name: Mila). Like most restaurants here, they have seating in the hallway.
Menu is in Chinese only. There is no 10% service charge. What they serve here is Taiwanese style noodles and rice. Taiwanese drinks and sandwiches.
Boyfriend ordered this: a tieguanyin tea with a cheese milk top ($22). Just to say .... there the cheese milk top was A LOT. I think it took up a quarter of the drink. But it was ok. Not overly salty like some places so you can't taste anything. The tea had a decent fragrant base. I still do not understand the purpose of the cheese milk top.
I had the Korean apple tea ($16) which was really good especially for this price. It had bits of apple along with some nata de coca so I could have something to chew on. But it was like drinking fresh apple juice.
I had a beef sandwich ($40. Does come with a standard drink but I upgraded) or the menu said it was a Philly sandwich. Umm ... ok.
But don't let the name make you worry. The sandwich was great. Yes, there was not a lot of cheese like a true Philly but the beef was moist and juicy. It had a really good savory marinade. There was a generous slathering of whole grain mustard as well. The bread this place uses was soft and sweet. This was a really good sandwich.
Boyfriend had a bowl of beef shank noodles ($50. Does come with a standard drink but I upgraded). They had one sign that had something called new limited items. So he was curious and ordered that. The noodles were the flat thin kind. I usually buy this myself at home as it has the same texture as dried udon noodles. They were chewy and soaked the soup well. The beef shank was so soft it melted in my mouth. I think that's a rare time that's ever happened.
We shared a snack of soysauce marinaded chicken wings ($21). The staff asked if we were ok with spicy and he tossed it with some spicy powder. It arrived in a little paper cup of just three wings.
The wings were pretty good. Nice and moist. Not too spicy that I couldn't handle it.
Really nice I discovered this place. Prices were inexpensive. Food was solid. The person working there was friendly, too. Yes, you sit in a hallway but I guess it's better than sitting in a dark alley, right?
