Massive fish balls @ Cheung Chau's 時來食坊

normal and giant sized fishballs in 2nd pot

 

These fish balls are roughly the size of golf balls.

Tried the spicy version, and only the outside of the fishball was hot.
The shape of it is not exactly perfectly round, abit like a fat round droplet.

As for the taste, it tasted of cuttlefish and fish, but it didnt taste that fresh.

Ultimate fried chicken @ Cheung chau's Joyful palace

It may sound extreme to go all the way to the Cheung Chau island for fried chicken, but it was truly worth it.

It was my first stop for food, the cosy restaurant seats about 16 people.

The tables have a display compartment beneath the glass, exhibiting watches and other items.

Luckily they had an English menu for westerners.
So ordered fried chicken with rice, and fried chicken with mini potato has browns.

The prices were such a good deal, the above items including drinks came to $43.
A single piece of fried chicken only costs $8, which is cheaper than KFC and tastes far better than KFC.
The drinks that come with the meal are coffee, HK style tea or soft drinks, it was not stated on the menu that it was the glass bottles of coke, or I would have definately had that.
I felt that it should be stated on the menu that it is bottled coke, because it gives it that wow factor,
especially they serve the best fried chicken, and the meal also includes a glass bottle coke!!

When the chicken and rice came, the presentation reminded me of Jolibee's, and the hash browns reminded me of the breakfast ones at Burgerking.
Overall I felt the rice set tasted better, the rice tasted like the rice with chicken oil served with hainan chicken, and it was covered in yummy sauce, although it was mushroom sauce there was not much mushrooms, but it was creamy and the rice was nice and soft.

The chicken was so good, the coating was so crispy and wasnt oily at all.
It reminded me of the chicken at the Green waffle diner, except the chicken here is smaller in size, and it actually has flavour.
After finishing it off, I didnt feel thirsty as you do with KFC or other fried chickens!!

I will definately come here again and also try the chicken wings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My mind was elsewhere @ 到此一遊

 

The food here was actually quite good, but since the place I wanted to go was closed, it took me a while to get my senses back.

There were lots of restrictions on the menu, some were not available over the weekend.
Every page on the menu was different in format, not really consistent, it was hard finding something to order because it wasnt clearly stated which branch they are served, and which days they were not available.

Like I said, I wasnt in the mood for this food, and plus ordering made it more difficult with their confusing menu.

In the end ordered tuna toast and noodles with passionfruit green tea, and Hami melon green tea.

The toast was filled with fishy tuna, and super thin slices of cucumber with mayonnaise, and the noodles were OK.

The Hami melon drink was the best, intially I thought it was hami melon milk tea, because there were so many fine bubbles after being shaken in the cocktail shaker, after a while the bubbles dispersed, and it was golden clear tea at the bottom with a frothy top.

Interestingly, there is a slight mis-translation, in chinese it is called hami melon tea and in English it is cantaloupe melon tea.

As well as that, i found the toilet notice amusing, "maintaining out of order"

i guess da toilet wont be fixed then
