Cat's Street @ Tung Chung

Afternoon Snack

• Portuguese Porkchop Sandwich
• Hot Nai Cha

My grandma lives in Tung Chung, so this wasn't my first time here. The place had an attractive decor, complemented by its nice plates. bowls, cups and utensils. They also had very reasonable afternoon tea sets. I was a bit apprehensive at first on ordering this set because the menu (laminated cards on a flip stand from Ikea; I could recognize it) described it as "deep fried". But what the heck.

The sandwich came unfolded. The two pieces of bun cut in half were toasted nicely - don't be fooled by the color in the photo, which makes it look burnt, for it was not; I just have a lousy camera. On top of the bread was the porkchop, a slice each of lettuce, tomato and cucumber, and a line of mayonnaise squirted lazily. It was beautiful enough to eat, so I went right ahead.

It tasted alright. The bite was overall crispy, thanks to the toasted bun, lettuce and cucumber. The slab of pork was oily, but its heaviness was balanced by the fresh greens. I gobbled it down in three bites, which meant I didn't really had much time to truly enjoy it. But hey, it's only suppose to be a snack - and ordering another one would just be overdoing it.

I really have to stop eating in between meals. But I just can't help it though - too many temptations.

Total cost: HK$23
