Starliner Diner at Tomorrowland (Hong Kong Disneyland)

As mentioned in my previous post, we had lunch at Comet Cafe. For dinner, again we wanted a meal which would not take up too much time. Hence, we went to Starliner Diner at Tomorrowland. Starliner Diner with a seating capacity of 800 is the largest service restaurant in Disneyland. The interior and exterior of the Starliner Diner are decorated to give patrons a spaceport dining experience.  

Menu (a)

Menu (b)

All Combo/Set are served with French Fries or Chicken Flavoured Rice along with a regular cup of Soft Drinks/Lemon Tea/Hot Chocolate/Hot Tea/Hot Coffee.

This reminds me of fast food joint. There was a short queue when ordering. But once you order, the items you order will be immediately served to you as everything is prepared.Similar concept to fast food restaurants.

Beef Burger with Cheese Combo

Beef Burger with Cheese

Beef Burger with Cheese Combo HK$70 (S$11.66) with French Fries and Hot Tea. Surprisingly, the food (french fries and burger) was still hot as if it was just cooked when it was clearly cooked before hand and placed at the counter outside the kitchen. Well, my guess is the turnover is too fast.

The French Fries with slightly thicker cut compare to Mcdonalds. It was slightly on the salty end. The Beef patty in the Beef Burger was soft, tender and juicy. Delicious! Ordering hot tea was a plus as I could refilled more hot water into it and keep myself warm during the cold weather.

Chicken Teriyaki Burger Combo

Chicken Teriyaki Burger

Chicken Teriyaki Burger Combo HK$70 (S$11.66) with French Fries and Hot Chocolate. The Chicken in the Chicken Teriyaki Burger was tender. Felt that too much teriyaki sauce was added as the sauce was dripping all over. Other than that, it was quite a nice burger.

In terms of price, it is of course more expensive as we are in Disneyland. But this meal was so much better than our lunch and certainty more value for money. Moreover, the other nmore upscale restaurants had long queues. Whereas at Starliner Diner with 800 seats, there's no need to wait. We made the right choice =)

Hence, if you are wondering what to eat in Hong Kong Disneyland, hopefully these two posts will help.

Comet Cafe at Tomorrowland (Hong Kong Disneyland)

Went to Hong Kong Disneyland! My first time here. The easiest way to Hong Kong Disneyland is via MTR! There is a dedicated Disney Resort Line from Sunny Bay Station! How convenient!

Our first destination in Disneyland was to have a fast and light lunch. As there was long queues at restaurants, we skipped that. We came to Tomorrowland where we saw Comet Cafe. We deicded to eat at Comet Cafe. It was like an outdoor food court with just 3 stalls. There was plenty of seats available and with no queue.

First Stall - Classic BBQ

Second Stall - Fiery Wok

Third Stall - Specialty Noodles

The price of the food here are marked up. I am sure it is not just Comet Cafe, all the eateries here will have their food marked up too.

Braised Duo of Mushrooms and Marrow Cucumber with Rice

Braised Duo of Mushrooms and Marrow Cucumber with Rice HK$58 (S$9.66) from Fiery Wok stall. Really a mushroom dish. The rice was hard. Luckily, the sauce help to soften to soften the rice. Did not like the taste of the dish. 

BBQ Pork with Rice Glazed with Maltose Syrup

BBQ Pork with Rice Glazed with Maltose Syrup HK$65 (S$10.83) from Classic BBQ stall. Another dish which was so-so.

No wonder there was so few people eating at Comet Cafe. But we achieved our aim of having a quick bite without queuing so that we could have more time for rides.

Chilled Beancurd Recipe

Last year (2011), Lao Ban Beancurd has lead the craze on Chilled Beancurd. Today, there are several similar stalls such as 51 Soya Bean, QQ Soya Bean Curd and many more popping up. All selling the same type of chilled beancurd!

Many people online have frequently been searching for the 'Lao Ban Beancurd recipe'. Just last month, the recipe was shared on edmw. With that, I went about trying to make it too. 

Phoon Huat's 'Jelly Man Instant Jelly Powder (200g) $4.90

The trick in making the chilled beancurd is the Phoon Huat's 'Red Man Instant Jelly Powder'. I bought the small bottle, 200g at $4.90.

Ingredients Required

Other than the fact that the Instant Jelly Powder can be bought from Phoon Huat, the rest of the ingredients can be bought from NTUC. (Not all outlets in NTUC has Polleney Soya Bean Milk Powder)

Items required: 
1) Pot
2) Whisk
3) Sieve
4) Measuring Cup
5) Measuring Teaspoon (tsp) and Tablespoon (tbsp) or Measuring Scale
6) Bowls or Plastic Containers
*as I do not have measuring scale I will estimate the number of tsp or tbsp required.

To make Soya Milk (3 bowls):
60g of Polleney Soya Bean Milk Powder (2 tbsp + 1 tsp)
30g of Unisoy Soya Bean Milk Powder
700ml of Water
Stir to ensure that all the powder are dissolved. Ensure that there are no lumps.

To make Chilled Beancurd:
700ml of Soya Milk (or Drinho/Vitasoy/Yeo's/Seasons Soya Milk)
30g of Nestle Coffeemate Coffee Creamer (6 packets)
30g of Sugar to taste (not required if using carton-ed Soya Bean Milk) (2 tbsp)
14g of Phoon Huat's Instant Jelly Powder (2.5 tsp)

Steps:
1) Heat the Soya Milk in low heat till it is hot (Do not boil)
2) Add in coffee creamer and stir till it is fully dissolved
3) Add in Sugar and stir till it is fully dissolved
4) Do a taste check for sweetness level
5) Add in Instant Jelly Powder and stir till it is fully dissolved
6) Sieve out the bubbles
7) Pour into 3 bowls and leave to cool
8) Put in fridge for at least 3 hours and after that it is ready. Enjoy the Beancurd

Tips:

1) Keep stiring to ensure that the ingredients are fully dissolved. Using a whisk is better compared to a spoon/fork/chopsticks. This is to ensure that the Beancurd will not have 2 layers. (which was what happen to my first attempt)

2) Too much Instant Jelly Powder will result in the Beancurd being too hard (which was what happen to my first attempt)

3) Ensure you do a taste test before adding in Instant Jelly Powder. Add more sugar if required.

4) Pure Soya Bean Extract from Vitasoy did not really work as the taste was not right

My own chilled beancurd using the above recipe. Smooth, jelly-like and silky. Very similar to 51 Soya Bean taste. But not Lao Ban standard.

There that's it. This is the Chilled Beancurd Recipe. Have fun making it.
