Mango Tree Elements (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★☆☆

As much as I'm a fan of Bangkok's Mango Tree, I have never visited their Hong Kong branch at Elements Shopping Mall since its existence. Today looks like the perfect time to do it though as we're already circling around Elements well before noon.

Sweet corn cake with crab meat ($138) - While the idea of ordering prawn cakes came across my mind, I ended up getting the sweet corn cakes instead. That's a poor decision on my part!

The list of ingredients looked rather promising on paper - sweet corn, ;crab meat, eggs, kaffir lime leaves, bell pepper, roasted coconut and green curry paste all stuffed inside these small brownish sweet corn cakes. But other than sweet corn, I honestly couldn't taste a thing (didn't spot any crab meat by!).

Garlic Thai cabbage ($98) - Always love Thai cabbage stir-fried with garlic. Pretty crunchy.

Thai egg omelette with crab meat ($138) - A dish I ordered every time I visited Mango Tree in Bangkok. The fried egg was really fluffy and pillowy almost like a soufflé.

Lots of crab meat in there too. Delish~

Prawn Phad Thai ($138) - Of course, we couldn't leave Mango Tree without their signature Phad Thai, stir-fried thin rice noodles with ground peanuts, chives, bean sprouts and tofu tossed in their homemade tamarind sauce. Pretty tasty.

We didn't get the chance to check out their dessert menu because my little nugget was due for his afternoon nap. So, until next time.....
