Tsui Wah Restaurant 翠華餐廳 (Hong Kong)

Tsui Wah Restaurant 翠華餐廳 has come a long way having first started in 1967. Today, this cha chaan teng has expanded with over 17 outlets in Hong Kong and has even ventured into Shanghai and Macau.

We were on our way to Yung Kee when we spotted Tsui Wah Restaurant located directly opposite Yung Kee Building. At Yung Kee, we had to take a queue number and were told to come back 1 hour later. As we were hungry, we decided to visit Tsui Wah Restaurant and shared 2 items before going back to Yung Kee.
There was no queue at Tsui Wah Restaurant. We were directed to the second level, where there was more sitting capacity. We noticed that even the second level was full. Luckily, a big group left just as we came in.

Level 2 filled to the brim
Look at how nicely decorated the restaurant is.

As we were in a rush and did not want to order too much, we decided to just order the two recommended dishes that was 'popping' out of the menu.The two dishes were the Fish Balls & Fish Cakes with Rice Noodle in Fish Soup and Prawn Balls with Stirring Noodle in XO Sauce.
Fish Balls & Fish Cakes with Rice Noodle in Fish Soup
The Fish Balls & Fish Cakes with Rice Noodle in Fish Soup cost HK$29 (S$4.83). A healthy dish and the rice noodle is actually kway teow. The fish soup was fragrant and flavourful. Moreover, there was no fishy taste.
Prawn Balls with Stirring Noodle in XO Sauce
The Prawn Balls with Stirring Noodle in XO Sauce is priced at HK$45 (S$7.50). The noodle was QQ, but a tad too dry. The bonus was that the prawns were big, firm and very fresh! Delicious!
Milk Tea (cold)
Milk Tea (hot)
Despite the crowd, the service here was prompt and efficient. Overall, a good meal that achieved our aim of going somewhere with good and fast food without compromising our queue at Yung Kee and yet help fill our stomach with some food.

ps: Tsui Wah Restaurant is also famous for their crispy bun with condense milk.

Starliner Diner at Tomorrowland (Hong Kong Disneyland)

As mentioned in my previous post, we had lunch at Comet Cafe. For dinner, again we wanted a meal which would not take up too much time. Hence, we went to Starliner Diner at Tomorrowland. Starliner Diner with a seating capacity of 800 is the largest service restaurant in Disneyland. The interior and exterior of the Starliner Diner are decorated to give patrons a spaceport dining experience.  
Menu (a)

Menu (b)
All Combo/Set are served with French Fries or Chicken Flavoured Rice along with a regular cup of Soft Drinks/Lemon Tea/Hot Chocolate/Hot Tea/Hot Coffee.
This reminds me of fast food joint. There was a short queue when ordering. But once you order, the items you order will be immediately served to you as everything is prepared.Similar concept to fast food restaurants.
Beef Burger with Cheese Combo
Beef Burger with Cheese
Beef Burger with Cheese Combo HK$70 (S$11.66) with French Fries and Hot Tea. Surprisingly, the food (french fries and burger) was still hot as if it was just cooked when it was clearly cooked before hand and placed at the counter outside the kitchen. Well, my guess is the turnover is too fast.

The French Fries with slightly thicker cut compare to Mcdonalds. It was slightly on the salty end. The Beef patty in the Beef Burger was soft, tender and juicy. Delicious! Ordering hot tea was a plus as I could refilled more hot water into it and keep myself warm during the cold weather.
Chicken Teriyaki Burger Combo
Chicken Teriyaki Burger
Chicken Teriyaki Burger Combo HK$70 (S$11.66) with French Fries and Hot Chocolate. The Chicken in the Chicken Teriyaki Burger was tender. Felt that too much teriyaki sauce was added as the sauce was dripping all over. Other than that, it was quite a nice burger.

In terms of price, it is of course more expensive as we are in Disneyland. But this meal was so much better than our lunch and certainty more value for money. Moreover, the other nmore upscale restaurants had long queues. Whereas at Starliner Diner with 800 seats, there's no need to wait. We made the right choice =)

Hence, if you are wondering what to eat in Hong Kong Disneyland, hopefully these two posts will help.

Comet Cafe at Tomorrowland (Hong Kong Disneyland)

Went to Hong Kong Disneyland! My first time here. The easiest way to Hong Kong Disneyland is via MTR! There is a dedicated Disney Resort Line from Sunny Bay Station! How convenient!

Our first destination in Disneyland was to have a fast and light lunch. As there was long queues at restaurants, we skipped that. We came to Tomorrowland where we saw Comet Cafe. We deicded to eat at Comet Cafe. It was like an outdoor food court with just 3 stalls. There was plenty of seats available and with no queue.
First Stall - Classic BBQ
Second Stall - Fiery Wok
Third Stall - Specialty Noodles
The price of the food here are marked up. I am sure it is not just Comet Cafe, all the eateries here will have their food marked up too.
Braised Duo of Mushrooms and Marrow Cucumber with Rice
Braised Duo of Mushrooms and Marrow Cucumber with Rice HK$58 (S$9.66) from Fiery Wok stall. Really a mushroom dish. The rice was hard. Luckily, the sauce help to soften to soften the rice. Did not like the taste of the dish. 
BBQ Pork with Rice Glazed with Maltose Syrup
BBQ Pork with Rice Glazed with Maltose Syrup HK$65 (S$10.83) from Classic BBQ stall. Another dish which was so-so.

No wonder there was so few people eating at Comet Cafe. But we achieved our aim of having a quick bite without queuing so that we could have more time for rides.
