I've eaten a cold ramen from Tampopo years ago. This one is a bit different. No kurobuta ham and no mustard. Looked a lot less impressive and truth to be told, the experience was not even on par with the ones from Baikohken or even Ohsho. Serviceable but definitely not getting them again. Chilled food doesn't survive delivery well.
Authenticity seems more a matter of ranges and limitations than of outright prescriptions. - Jeffrey Steingarten, The Man Who Ate Everything

Atout at home - lobster bisque, frog legs, cod liver and pork rillettes
A lunch delivery from Atout.
Which consisted of their delicious lobster bisque. It seems that there're no dumplings in them anymore.
Also those cod livers that we liked. Great with bread.
And some of the pork rillette that the restaurant makes.....
.......which were good munching with bread like those cod livers. Freshly made baguettes and sourdough loaf.
We got some frog legs too. Nice and garlicky.

Supper from Tsui Wah (翠華)
That would be supper with 茶走 by the way. Admittedly, the reason why it was Tsui Wah was because they pulled through for us by being available past 9.30pm when most of the deliveries have called it a day.
Some greasy fried rice. Rice needs a bit more salt.
A luncheon meat and egg sandwich that is superior to most if not all others in this country. I'm pretty sure the bread was steamed to get that soft texture and that was part of the appeal.
Decent fried chicken wings.
Not forgetting their so good condensed milk buns.

It's back
It had been a thing when McD closed for a while. It is apparently a thing now that they've re-opened. For reasons.

Home delivery from Sawadee Thai
Oddled Sawadee Thai. They're a little pricey but the food has always been very decent.
We ordered mostly what we've eaten from the restaurant before - like the roasted duck red curry which looked a lot prettier in the restaurant. Those warm lychees in the curry were still awesome.
Liked their tom kha gai. Still like it. Gotta remember to tell them lay off the coriander the next time. How could I have forgotten that?!
Had them stuffed fat chicken wings.
This was the only dish we've never tried before - seasonal vegetables with Hokkaido scallops it said on the menu. Was that napa cabbage? Scallops were tender and still had a little sweetness in them but I can't tell that they're from Hokkaido. Can anyone?
Their sweet steamed tapioca was tasty enough that we still had room for them after the meal. As good as I remembered them.

A bánh mì from O Banh Mi
I may have had a bánh mì from O Banh Mi prior to this but I'm not sure. Anyways, this was their pork chop bánh mì. Upsized. I don't have much references to what could be considered good ones but I though more vegetables would be nice. Those pickles were the only vegetables that were in the sandwich. Since I got this to go, I added sliced cheese and sprinkles of Tabasco to spruce up the flavour. Noice!
