I loved the Fish burger @ Burger Bar

As well as beef burgers, some places put effort into other burgers like fish, chicken or Vegetarian burgers.
At Burger Bar, I was truly impressed with the fish burger.
It was a whole fish!!
The coating was nice as it was crispy bread crumb so it was light and crunchy while the sauce was different and fantastic.
It was basil sauce which was very tasty with a hint of cumin.

The other beef burger was good too but the fish just stole the show.

There are gloves on the table which made it mess free and since there are gloves, I truly didn't mind eating with my hands.

Also had the prawns which were a bit over done.

McDonalds Hokkaido salmon burger in Hong Kong

Hong Kong’s McDonald’s has followed the steps of Taiwan and Thailand by launching the Hokkaido Salmon burger.


Taiwan launched the salmon burger in 2014 while Thailand launched it earlier last month.
The difference is that Taiwan used dill sauce and Thailand uses spicy mentaiko sauce, which is slightly spicy, and Hong Kong’s McDonalds are now serving the Thailand version.

To be honest I think dill sauce would be better as dill is normally paired with fish and this other blogger says so because he has tried both.

Anyway, I was lucky there wasn’t much sauce because I prefer Dill sauce to spicy mentaiko sauce any day!
The salmon patty was coated in golden breadcrumbs and the texture of the salmon was flakey but not dry.
It was a nice burger but on the small side.

Although the sauce wasn’t good the onions made up for it because there was a nice raw onion spicy kick to it.

It is just as good as the salmon burger at MOS but the salmon texture is different, at MOS version is like slow cooked salmon and at McDonalds the texture is like a fried fish filet.

Just for the Halibut at Beef & Liberty

Indeed, there is something fishy at Beef & Liberty Hong Kong.
Just For The Halibut, the new fish burger with green peas and horseradish mayo, a bit of red cabbage, kale, pickled fennel and ginger; and a hint of citrus.
It was a lovely burger because the fish was chunky and flaky paired with strong condiments.

A good Salmon burger at TAKE Japanese Take-away Shop

TAKE Japanese Take-away Shop (Wan Chai)

I rarely walk down this road because there are too many pedestrians on this narrow pavement and it stinks of second hand smoke and fumes from heavy traffic going past made worse by traffic jams.

Anyway, I had to stop walking for a few seconds because of some slow walkers infront of me and discovered this tiny joint.

I only noticed it because of the burgers.

I was surprised to see that it was a small sushi joint doing burgers as well.

It was helpful they had English menus but not all the items are listed.


Anyway, ordered the salmon burger for $38 and I didn't realise it came with potato wedges.

There were three different salmon burgers:
-Seared salmon burger
-Spicy Salmon sashimi burger
-Salmon sashimi burger with a bamboo sauce.
{It seems to say bamboo sauce (juk-jeung) on the poster}

I opted for the seared salmon burger.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Seared salmon burger:

The bun was really good, it was a fresh springy wheat bun with crushed oats and wheat on top.
It was much better than those lifeless plastic buns you get at other local places.

There was sliced cucumber in the burger which added to the refreshing taste but they were not sliced properly because the pieces were still attached to each other.
Beneath that, there were slices of seared salmon.
The salmon burger was amazing because the salmon was seared just right complemented by the cooling cucumber and wasabi mayonnaise.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Potato wedges:

The potato wedges were not memorable but the frying oil was fresh so the potato wedges tasted ok.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Previously I tried the salmon burger at MOS which was good but the second time I had it, the salmon was over cooked.

Utterly delicious salmon burgers

MOS Burger (Tseung Kwan O)

Walked past MOS Burger and sure these new Salmon burgers.


When I saw the product shot, the salmon patty looked like an actually slice of salmon that was cut to a burger shape so I had to try it because most salmon burgers are patties made from grounded fish.

There were two burgers, one was the salmon burger and the other was salmon rice burger.

I felt that the salmon burger was going to taste better but the rice one had a more interesting filling which looked like egg and mayonnaise.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Salmon burger:

When it came, the patty was quite thin looking like a potato patty but on the surface you could faintly see the salmon fillet patterns.


After taking a bite, it surpassed my expectations because the texture of the salmon was just like lightly seared salmon.
It was amazingly soft and moist and it was 100% real salmon.


The colour of the salmon was a delicate coral pink.

As well as the salmon, the shredded lettuce and cabbage complemented it perfectly with the thin dressing they used because it tasted similar to Western coleslaw.
The cheese was slightly salty which gave the overall burger a perfect flavouring.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sadly, I went again and they were not consistent because the salmon was overdone and dry.

Main St. Deli for downtown food

Main St. Deli
Lower Lobby Level, The Langham Hong Kong, 8 Peking Road, Tsim Sha Tsui

I have always wanted to go here but I got this restaurant confused withDuke's Deli because both were American style and the decor was similar when I saw the reviews.



I found out about the grilled cheese night from OpenRice which is available on wednesday nights only.

Every week I would attempt to go but when I remembered it would be thursday so I would have to wait the next week and by the time I remembered it would be too late and the cycle goes on!

Anyway I finally remembered this time and checked their website to see if it was still on. According to their website the Grilled cheese night is available until 30th April so I phoned Main Street Deli to make a reservation but they said the Grilled cheese night had finished last month (March).
I was quite confused so I just assumed the website was not update but anyway I submitted an online enquiry to ask if the Grilled Cheese night was still on and I got confirmation through email that it was still on so I booked again.

I read the reviews again to see the best items to eat and found a similar issue that the staff thought the promotion has ended.

Quoted from previous review by 輕雲: 餐廳好像沒有很積極的推廣Grilled Cheese Night這個主題,因為店員沒有主動把有關的菜單給我,其他食客也似乎沒有意識到這個主題的存在,只點了平常菜單供應的食物。這麼棒的主題和食物,店員怎麼不積極地讓更多客人知道呢?

When I arrived, I was greeted by a lovely glass cabinet of cakes which were huge, the sofa chairs were like a classier version of the ones at Ed's Diner (a retro-American style diner).
Sat down and browsed the menu.
I was planning to order an item from the grilled cheese menu and a burger from the a la carte menu.
The grilled cheese night set comes with a soup, grilled cheese solders and a sandwich.
The choice for the grilled cheese sets was quite good but I would have preferred if the set contained sandwiches with all the different cheeses so you can sample them all or at least two different cheeses.

There were six choices:
Croque Monsier: ham, gruyere, wilted spinach and mornay sauce
Provolone, cured italian meats, olive, tomato and basil pesto in sourdough
Cheddar cheese, shredded BBQ pork and caramelised onions
Brie, smoked pork loin, rocket and jalapeno Mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, basil and balsalmic syrup in Italian sesame oil
Swiss cheese, avocado, sauteed mushrooms and roasted red peppers on multigrain
Canadian bacon, stilton, and swiss cheese on light rye all served with roasted tomato bisque with grilled cheese soldiers.



As I am not really a meat eater I was choosing between the croque monsieur and the Canadian bacon and in the end I chose the Canadian bacon.

For the burgers, it was hard choosing between the cod cake burger and the vegetarian burger coated with Matzoh,
in the end I chose the cod cake burger.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cod cake burger:



I was expecting the burger to be huge but it was gigantic!
It was a cod cake between a crispy maize muffin.

I felt that there was no coating so the cod cake was nearly 100% cod with potatoes and herbs so when it was cooked, the surface of the cod cake was directly cooked giving it a delicious crispy tasty surface.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★



Canadian bacon, Stilton, and Swiss cheese on light rye:

The sandwich was just delicious and the rye bread was fantastic because it had caraway seeds in it which gave it a distinct fragrant flavour and balanced out the heavyness of the bacon and cheese.
The Stilton in the sandwich was nice because it made it cheesier.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tomato soup:

The soup was very sour but I loved it because the tomato taste was natrual and there was real tomato puree in it.
The taste was similar to eating canned plum tomatoes.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cheese soldiers:

These were two pieces of toast with delicious melted cheese in the middle.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

It would be great if they could offer a cheese soldier platter each with a different cheese inside so you could sample all the different cheeses.

Tangy and spicy wasabi sakana supreme 2013

Initially I was not going to try the wasabi sakana burger because I have already tried it last year in Hong Kong.

The wasabi sakana burger contains horseradish, mustard seeds, garlic and chili.


The difference this year is that the fish filet is bigger and the sauce claims to be TANGY!


Sauce could be seen leaking out from the box!

sauce coming out the box




Basically it had lettuce and sauce on the first layer but no cheese could be seen yet.

where is my cheese?
On the bottom layer there was still no cheese!

where is my cheese?
LUCKILY I WAS DINING THERE SO I COULD ASK IF THERE WAS MEANT TO BE CHEESE THERE AS SHOWN ON THE PRODUCT PICTURE, so they just added two HALF slices of cheese for me on the same burger instead of giving me a fresh one so my burger was lovely and cold after queuing up to tell them there was no friggin cheese!

cheese at last!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Wasabi sakana burger:The lettuce in the burger really ruins it.
While I was ordering there were at least two people who requested it without and if it does taste nice, the original would have lettuce in it too.
The sauce was disappointing it was not tangy at all.
If they added some tartar sauce, it may have improved the tangyness and flavour.
The burger was cold because I had to ask for the cheese.

Fish burger at Burger King

Not a beef eater so did not try the Angus BOMB.
Ordered the fish burger instead.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fish burger:

A whole slice of cheese is given at BK, at McDs you only get half.

The fish burger was quite nice, but the bun was not soft enough.
The fish burger coating was quite hard but the fish inside is really soft, so after you take a bite, it does not hold together well.
The taste of the burger is saltier than McD's but the fish is softer and wet.
