From Jump stick to Drum stick @ Daniel's Restaurant

I was quite impressed with the food served here, Tsui wah used to be my favourite, but not anymore thanks to this place.

Tsui Wah tends to be more on the local side even though it has an English menu, same here, but they have a website too!

However most of their locations are in the New territories, city ones are located here and Causeway bay.

The range of food is very extensive, covering from Pakistani curries, Vietnamese noodles, Laksa and traditional local stuffs.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Laksa was quite nice even though its not the authentic one.


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The chicken and chips was accidently stumbled upon, at the Causeway Bay branch, the dish was spelt "Jump Stick steak" which intrigued me, then at this branch it was "Drumstick steak", so I suspect it was a case of mispelling of "Drum" sounding like JUMP!!

Anyway Drumstick steak still intrigued me, how can a drumstick be a steak? or was it simply chicken thigh?

JUMP STICK STEAK

 

DRUMSTICK STEAK

As it was a recommended item, I decided to try it. When it came, I could understand why it was called a drumstick steak.
The chicken leg was flatterned, the thigh part de-boned, and there was half a piece of bone remaining in the drum part, so it was part steak and part drumstick attached.

The chicken was grilled nicely with crispy skin, on top of it was a grilled cheese slice and a scallop on top.
The chips were the crinkle cut type, slightly overdone no my preference.


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Crispy bun with salted beef (corned beef) [NO PICTURE]This was also another one of my favourites, crispy bread like the french buns, not too crispy. The filling was salted beef and melted cheese, basically the salted beef is the chinese version of corned beef, but a more moist and softer version.
Although the bun was crunchy, it still had some chewiness to it, and the smell of yeast.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Veal cordon bleu
I felt that this was a chinese version of cordon blue/escaloupe.

It was trimmed pork chop that was sliced in the middle with cheese in between it and coated with breadcrumbs and fried. The dish is served with pasta, rice or vegetables and chips.and a choice of curry sauce or tomato sauce.
I chose chips and curry sauce to go with my pork chop.

The porkchop was nicely none, very crispy with cheese oozing out from the middle.
The vegetableon the plate was wintermelon which tasted surprisingly good as a boiled side, usually the texture is mushy and found in soups.

The curry sauce was not what I expected, it was watery and contained onions, and very hot.
The portion of curry sauce was generous and it was served in a soup bowl and it was really good that it was separate.

I think the curry sauce would be good to complement rice and pasta.

But I did not feel that the curry was a good complement for the pork chop cutlet with cheese, but since I had so much sauce left, I ordered another pork chop bun to dip it in.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Pork Chop bun:The pork chop was trimmed and the fat taken off, every bit of the pork chop was edible.

Potato balls @ 臺北站

Yes Taipei is for drinks, but I came here for potato balls.

Not many places serve fried potato balls, the one that does is in the New Territories called Breadman, but its too far away.

I like potato balls because of the light outer crunch and starchy potato filling inside if its fried just right.

Here they offer many sauces to go with it:
Wasabi mayonnaise, ketchup, mushroom and herb sauce, cheese, sour cream,

I chose cheese and wasabi mayonnaise.
The cheese was nice, but it wasnt cheese sauce, so it went hard after it had cooled, otherwise it tasted good as it was cheddar cheese.
The wasabi mayonnaise didnt taste that nice, I think the wasabi spolt it.
Next time I will choose mushroom sauce, but you need to ask them what the sauces are, as the English translation and Chinese menu are a bit different.
DEEP FRIED PHOTO BALLS!

Apart from spud snacks, they have fried mussels, scallops and squids, the scallop and squid sound ok, but trying to imagine how a fried mussel would taste~

The bad thing about this place, there is no where to indulge the food, it is people, trafflc, smokers everywhere.
It is hot enough already, and they have four spotlights in broad daylight to grill you!!

 

 

 

buses, cars, pedestrians and smokers

 

Lights in daylight that GRILL U~!
