Visited a new restaurant in Tsuen Wan today! The decor there is absolutely stunning, and the best part is that the food is very affordable, perfectly fitting my budget principles. I can come here with my wife multiple times without feeling the pinch, haha. The restaurant is newly opened in Nina Tower Phase 1, called Parkside@Nina! My wife mentioned that the restaurant's theme is petrified wood, which means it's as enduring as I am. The restaurant is spacious and beautifully decorated, making dining here very comfortable. This is definitely the most Instagrammable spot! From this angle, it looks like a church. Imagine how beautiful wedding photos would be here. The waiter told us that these petrified woods are actually very expensive! You really need to take your time to appreciate them. Besides the indoor seating, the outdoor area is also quite comfortable! It would be nice to dine here in the fall, but with the current heat, it's better to just look. On the other side of the restaurant, there's a very mysterious entrance! It turns out to be the VIP room, which is quite large. It would be great to have a party here with friends. After admiring the decor, we quickly started our meal! I ordered a fancy cocktail to start with, the Passion Fizz, which my wife absolutely adored. The yellow and purple colors are stunning! The taste is fantastic with passion fruit and kumquat soda, combined with vodka, it's super refreshing. This dish is Italian beef carpaccio, very tender and not at all gamey. It's quite nice when paired with arugula and cheese. This spicy watermelon salad is really special! Crisp cucumber wraps around watermelon marinated in Sichuan spicy sauce. It's juicy, fragrant, and spicy, very unique and delicious. After two appetizers, it was 7:30 PM. The restaurant staff told us there would be a light show at Nina Garden outside. Of course, our curious group went out to watch! The whole show lasted about 4 minutes and was truly mesmerizing! The light effects were very captivating and impressive. It's free to watch, and it seems to happen every half hour from 7 to 9 PM daily. After the light show, we went back to the restaurant to continue our meal! My wife and I each chose a soup. She had the laksa foam soup with shrimp crackers. I tried a sip, and it had a strong laksa flavor but was very spicy! However, my wife, who can handle spicy food, said it was delicious. I opted for the kid-friendly Hokkaido corn and potato soup! It had a rich corn flavor and was very smooth, suitable for all ages. Everyone knows I don't like pasta! But I really enjoyed this red wine marinated prawn linguine. The red wine and cream sauce was fantastic, and the prawns were sweet and paired well with the scallions. Besides pasta, the pizza here is a must-try! The restaurant has its own stone oven for freshly made pizzas. The freshly baked pizza crust is made with sourdough, crispy on the edges and soft in the middle. Topped with prosciutto, cheese, and mushrooms, it's a winning combination. We also ordered a chili sauce roasted chicken! The chicken was quite large and very flavorful with the chili sauce. However, I found the fries on the side even better, crispy and tasty, worth every bite even if it gives me a few more pimples. This dessert matches the restaurant perfectly because it's called petrified wood chocolate cake. It really looks like petrified wood. It's a dessert made with chocolate and cherries, which my chocolate-loving wife absolutely adored. I preferred the date caramel pudding! It had a rich toffee sauce on top, honeycomb crunch, and a scoop of coconut ice cream. The combination was very rich and delicious. Finally, I enjoyed an Orange Tonic Espresso, leaving the restaurant with a full and satisfied stomach.

Tonight, I suddenly craved some Shanghainese food. While walking through the mall, I saw a restaurant called 'Shanghai Grandma' and decided to give it a try. It was quite a pleasant surprise! 👍🏻 Pickled Pepper Fish Skin - The appetizer was already impressive. The fish skin was crispy and chewy, with a hint of spiciness and a bit of numbing sensation. The more I ate, the more I couldn't stop. It really whetted my appetite 🤤 Cucumber with Jellyfish - The jellyfish was a delightful surprise. The flavor was just right, not too salty. After these two appetizers, my stomach was ready for the main course 🤣 Boiled Beef in Chili Sauce - The spiciness was just right, and the beef was tender. A bite of beef with a bite of rice made for a perfect combination 👍🏻 I must also mention the tofu puffs, which absorbed all the flavors of the soup, making them incredibly tasty 😊 Grandma's Fried Rice - It was packed with ingredients, including plenty of cured meat and shrimp. Almost every bite had cured meat, adding to the texture. The fried rice was well-separated, showcasing the chef's skills 👍🏻 Overall, I was very satisfied with the meal. Next time I go shopping in Tsuen Wan and crave Shanghainese food, I'll definitely visit Shanghai Grandma again 👍🏻 Address - Shanghai Grandma (Nina Mall Phase 1) (Tsuen Wan) Shop 109-111, 1/F, Nina Mall Phase 1, 8 Yeung Uk Road, Tsuen Wan Environment/Facilities - 7/10 Specialty - 8/10 Average Price - 150 Rating - 7/10

Growing up in Tsuen Wan, I've witnessed its transformation into a bustling area! This has led to the emergence of many new malls, including Nina Mall. Recently, I discovered a restaurant themed around petrified wood here, which is connected to the beautiful Nina Park, offering a stunning environment. This newly opened restaurant in Phase 1 of Nina Mall is PARKSIDE@NINA. Tonight, I was among the first to enjoy its delicious food and beautiful decor. Upon entering, you'll find several large petrified wood decorations on the left. The interior features a streamlined ceiling design that enhances the elegant ambiance. Additionally, there are valuable petrified wood collections from the Pliocene epoch on display. The restaurant also has a picturesque spot perfect for photos! I think it's an ideal venue for weddings. Besides the beautiful indoor space, the outdoor area is also spacious and comfortable, allowing you to enjoy the lush greenery of Nina Park up close. Next to the entrance of Nina Park is a mysterious VIP room. It's spacious and private, accommodating up to 16 guests, and features a fully equipped kitchen for chefs to showcase their skills. After the tour, we returned to our table, and our drinks had arrived! My Cucumber Mojito ($78) was filled with the aroma of herbs and cucumber, not too sweet, with a refreshing rum flavor. There were also themed special drinks like Fossil Latte and Fossil Flurry, both made with Oreo for a sweet and delicious taste. The first appetizer was Italian Beef Carpaccio ($138)! The tender and smooth beef had no gamey taste, and paired with rich arugula and Parmesan cheese, it was a delight. The Sichuan Spicy Watermelon Salad ($108) was a surprising treat for my taste buds! The spicy aroma permeated the watermelon, wrapped in crisp cucumber slices, offering a sweet and spicy flavor that was irresistible. For soup, my dad chose the Hokkaido Corn and Potato Soup ($78)! It was full of sweet corn flavor and had a thick texture, making it both delicious and filling. As a spice lover, I opted for the Laksa Foam Soup with Shrimp Chips ($78)! Highly recommended for those who can handle spice, the laksa aroma was intense, and the spice lingered on the tongue, making it very stimulating! The foam added a delicate texture to the soup. At 7:30 PM, we put down our utensils and headed to Nina Park to watch the mesmerizing Starlight Show. This park also boasts the largest collection of petrified wood in an urban park in Asia. The starlight was dazzling, constantly changing colors. Even photos looked stunning! I recorded a short video to capture the moment. If you want to see the full show, it runs from 7 to 9 PM every night, with performances every half hour. Back at the restaurant, we ordered a second round of drinks. My dad's Passion Fizz ($78) was very photogenic, made with vodka, passion fruit, and kumquat soda, with a beautiful gradient and a delightful fruity aroma. Craving something sweet, I chose the Baby Girl ($42)! This charming pink drink was made with strawberry, pomegranate syrup, yogurt, and soda. The yogurt flavor was prominent, with a sweet strawberry aroma, perfect for kids and ladies. For the main course, we shared pasta and pizza! The restaurant has a stone oven for freshly baked pizzas, and watching them being made was a visual treat. The freshly baked Prosciutto and Mushroom Pizza ($158) smelled amazing! The sourdough crust was crispy yet soft, topped with savory prosciutto, cheese, and juicy mushrooms, making it delicious. We chose the Red Wine Lees Prawn Tagliatelle ($158) for the pasta, a unique dish with Chinese seasoning. The chewy tagliatelle paired well with the red wine lees, and the chef added scallions for a perfect finish, showcasing the fusion of Chinese and Western flavors. The main dish was a fragrant Whole Roasted Chicken ($188)! We chose the chili sauce flavor among the three options. The skin was crispy, and the meat was tender with a hint of spice, making it very appetizing. The accompanying fries were also crispy and delicious, hard to resist. For dessert, we had the Date Caramel Pudding ($68)! The pudding was drizzled with sweet toffee sauce, accompanied by honey crunch and rich coconut ice cream, offering a rich and sweet taste. As a chocolate lover, I preferred the unique Petrified Wood Chocolate Cake ($78)! The cake was designed to resemble petrified wood, with a combination of milk and dark chocolate, cherries, and crisp elements, perfectly satisfying my taste buds. Parkside offers great value for its quality! If you enjoy beautiful scenery and delicious food, it's a must-visit.

As a food enthusiast in Tsuen Wan, I often search for new dining spots in the area and share the good ones with fellow foodies. Nina Park, the largest petrified wood park in Asia, is a new attraction in Tsuen Wan. Next to the park, a new restaurant called Parkside has opened, and I want to share my experience with you. Sharing the same entrance as NOC, the front part of the venue is a coffee shop, while the back is Parkside. The decor here is stunning, especially for Tsuen Wan, and is unparalleled. There is also an outdoor seating area where you can enjoy your meal next to the park. However, with temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius, it's wiser to sit indoors with air conditioning. When you're hot and sweaty, a cold drink is the most practical choice. Fossil Flurry is the restaurant's signature drink, designed to match the petrified wood park theme. Made with Oreo, cream, and milk, it's quite filling. Instead of worrying about what to eat, why not go for the tasting menu? The Italian beef carpaccio is exquisitely presented, tender, and pairs perfectly with the spicy arugula. Years ago, I tried Sichuan spicy watermelon at a modern Chinese restaurant, and it was unexpectedly excellent. Nowadays, there's no need to strictly categorize cuisines, as you can find this delightful dish here too. The refreshing and juicy watermelon, infused with the numbing aroma of Sichuan pepper oil, is a long-missed taste. There were two soups available that night. The Hokkaido corn and potato soup is a safe choice. However, I was eager to try the chef's new creation, the laksa foam soup. It has a rich flavor, with the spiciness kicking in later, making it quite interesting! The dry-cured ham and mushroom pizza has a crispy crust, and the combination of ham, mushrooms, and arugula is hard to go wrong with. The prawn roll pasta may seem ordinary, but the chef used red wine lees for seasoning, giving it a taste reminiscent of Shaoxing wine, surprisingly harmonious with the Western-style pasta. The roast chicken is tender with crispy skin, not too dry, even the breast meat. The highlight is the flavorful Piri Piri sauce, which elevates the dish. The freshly fried fries on the side are naturally not soggy. For desserts, there are two options: the date caramel pudding, which is not as sweet as expected, and the special petrified wood chocolate cake, designed specifically for the park.
