Far East Flora @ Queensway Flowers Plants and Other Gardening Stuff

Along Queensway, beside the McDonalds, there is a large nursery which is a branch of Far East Flora.  We like to come here to take a look at plants and other gardening stuff.  A pleasant place.  Some of the flowers are very beautiful, like this moth Orchid.

See this video compilation for more Orchids.


Some more flowers in this video.  Grab some home to grow if you wished, but we didn't.


They also have plenty of indoor furniture, as well as indoor plants, which you can see in this video.  Some claim that having indoor plants in your home will help you fight the haze.  Not sure how true this is, but here they are.


Back home, we decided to grow some humble Coriander.  Good fun to have fresh coriander at dinner. The plant in the pot seems to be thriving, under a tree.  Pretty neat.  The taste was good!

Mandarin Kitchen, Lobster Noodles, Bayswater London

Mandarin Kitchen, Bayswater London.

This rather famous restaurant is actually located neared to Queensway Tube station, but Bayswater Tube station is just a bit further down the road.  This place was really popular.  Despite being a weekday night, we had to wait for more than an hour before we got a table.  I guess being a rather big group didn't help.

This is the menu, all in pounds of course.

That was the menu.  Now we come to the food.   Before that, these apparatus were for the famous lobster noodle.

This was the lobster noodles, served first.  I think there were 3 lobsters here.  The server kindly portioned it out for all of us.

This was my portion.  Tasted pretty good, though not fantastic, in my opinion.  I think it all depends on whether you like lobster.  I am not really a big fan.

My portion from another angle, showing more lobster.

Those were the lobster heads.  Yes, there were three.

Here are the rest of the dishes.  Veggies.

Duck.

Some tofu.

I think this was pork rib.

The restaurant was very crowded on a weekday night.  Very popular. Overall, I thought the food was good, but not fantastic.  Try it for the lobster noodles, if you haven't tried that before.  The rest of the dishes were average.  The duck at Four Seasons was definitely a notch above this duck, though this duck wasn't bad.

Thanks for reading.
