Fish burger @ MOS

The fish burger at MOS is slightly sweeter than the other fish burgers elsewhere.
The mayonnaise used in the fish burger at freshness is more refreshing.
All the buns for the fish burgers do not have sesame on top except for the one at Burger King.
Anyway the cheese is generous at MOS you get a full slice, however the fish is slightly bland.

Weird but nice! Creamy garlic and black bean sauce

Saw this weird dish so decided to get it.

It was a baked dish.
Usually the Chinese baked dishes are tomato sauce or cheese based with seafood or pork chops.

However this one was garlic and black bean, and usually in Chinese cooking it is in the form of a clear gravy, but the sauce for this dish was creamy!!!! Not like the traditionary clear brown gravy with garlic and black beans.

I assumed it was going to be served in a ceramic dish with the rice beneath the fish, but the rice was served separately and it was plain boiled rice too which is better than fried rice.

The fish was on a bed of vegetables including Aubergine, carrots and potatoes.
The potatoes tasted and looked like English roast potatoes.
Although the baked dish tried to be slightly different to the usual Chinese baked dish, there was still a piece of processed cheese on top.
Without the cheese, it still would have tasted nice.

The sauce was quite nice, it was a bit like gravy with the black bean flavouring, however I would have preferred a stronger black bean taste.
The colour and consistency reminded me of Chinese black pepper steak gravy but without the pepperiness.

At the bottom of the dish there was about a teaspoon of oil.
Lastly the low sugar green tea was too sweet.
Low sugar but super sweet!

Still my favourite place for chips and Scottish food

I love eating chips surrounded by glass jars of pickles and the British radio in the background.
Nothing like a perfect Sunday by the seaside.
Anyway, eating in Central will do fine for me.
On this visit I had most of the sides that I am usually too full to try.
Ordered picked egg, pickled onions, steak and kidney pie, gravy, Haggis, Black pudding, fishcakes, cheese and onion pie, sausage, egg and bacon butty, and deep fried mars bar.

Pickled egg
For $10 its about the same price as those runny eggs served in ramen joints, but this one is pickled.
I found it very appetising especially the egg white.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Deep fried bars mar:
It was different to how I thought it would be done, it was dipped into a dough batter and not the fish batter.
It tasted like a donut without sugar stuff with a melted mars bar inside.
The sweetness was just right as well because the mars bar inside gave the dough the sweetness.

Gravy
Good old bisto gravy.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steak and kidney pie:
Made by the Chippy themselves after numerous trials from different kidneys and beef to get the best taste.
The pie has a cute cow on the top.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pickled onions
This was really sour, but I really miss them from school and the familiar spots on the surface of the onion.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Butty
There are two versions, bread or bun, bread is more traditionally used in UK and chips and butter are usually sandwiched in between.
The version I had today was the bun type.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cheese and onion pastry
As usual, it tastes brilliant, the cheese is not elastic or stringy.
The onions inside were finely chopped and molten mixed with the cheddar cheese.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Haggis
A Scottish favourite that I like which contains oats, sheeps organs and spices.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Black pudding
Also another Scottish favourite of my choice, pork blood, oats and spices.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fish cakes:

I love this because it is really similar to the ones at school, light crispy coating with grounded fish and herbs inside.
