Fried mushrooms @ Cube Square

This branch used to be located in Hung Hom but it was too far and not near any MTR stations.

I was glad they opened in Wan Chai and was planning to get some snacks from there especially the fried mushrooms.

 

 

However I prefer the choice at Hung Hom because they had fried soft shell crabs and the pieces of chicken had fried basil leaves as well.

I was also attracted to the Hung Hom branch because they had eight seasoning powders: chili, seaweed, lemon, cheese, wasabi, plum and more.

However after I ordered the mushrooms I found out that they did not have the lemon seasoning or the cheese

 

Also the staff who was frying the mushroom was severly sick, he was constantly sneezing and coughing!
I was so afraid my mushrooms would turn into poisonous mushrooms!!!

Anyway, the mushrooms were Ok, juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, I only had a few incase they were infected!

 

Hope that staff gets well soon LOL!!

On my next visit, I hope that they will have the full condiment range and the soft shell crabs.

They had fried chicken drumsticks as well but it was hard to notice because it was right on the top!

 

Fried Froyo and Froyo ice cream hot pot WTF!!!! 炸乳酪 & 乳酪雪糕火鍋

The first time seeing fried Froyo on the menu and ice cream froyo hot pot!!

Fried fish @ Quezon

Not sure what fish this is but it was delicious, all the bones were mostly taken out.
All of it was edible and it tasted tangy because it had been soaked in vinegar.

Fried Taro Rolls @ Big Big Chick

Saw the promotional poster and the taro rolls looked interesting.

 

It looked like a fish roll filled with taro.

Anyway I wanted to try those taro balls too as seen on the picture below, but the music from the shop beside it was pumping so loud that it was difficult to order, so in the end I just ordered the rolls as I could just point to the poster without verbally ordering it.

 

When the rolls were ready they put lots of MSG flavoured seasoning on it which really ruined it, it made it too salty.

The inside of the roll was quite disappointing because I was expecting real taro puree inside but it was glutinous filling and there was no taro taste.

Chinese fried treasures @ 大家姐 chez a grande soeur

Everytime I go past this snack bar, it is always full of people.

So I finally tried it and got hooked on their fried snacks.
They serve good quality fish siumai, not too soft and not too oversteamed.

Their fried treasures are even better, big tofu stuffed with fish patty, the fried fish balls are also good, quite big too.
The chicken satay is also good too, sweet peanut sauce.

Fried sushi roll @ KFC

Had a really good expectation of the sushi roll, as sushi can never go wrong.
So ordered two.

The outer side of sushi is covered in crunchy breadcrumbs, and the inside is piping hot.
The center is composed of crabmeat, prawn, thousand island sauce, wrapped in rice, then a layer of seaweed.

Overall it tasted good, two is not enough!

 

Banana fritters and Laksa @ Ma Thai

As mentioned in my earlier review, I would revisit this place to try either the Laksa or the Buk Ku Teh.
So this time I tried the Laksa, just to compare with the other places I had before.

For a bowl of Laksa, it was priced at $60, which is the average Laksa price in Hong Kong for a seafood one. As shown on the picture, the seafood, were the frozen ones as expected with no taste, boiled and placed on top of the noodles when served.

The prawns were the peeled types, which were convenient, the only draw back, is that it doesn’t have that prawn taste.

Anyway tasted better than I expected, the soup was much stronger, it was thick and full bodied, creamy, but not too strong of coconut.
The noodles were the thick white ones like spaghetti, they were soft and flavoured from the soup.
The tofu was slightly harder and chewier than preferred, the soup was not spicy at all, so anyone who cannot eat spicy laksa, can try it here.

For dessert I had coconut banana fritters, the batter was just right, light and crispy, inside with pureed banana, and topped with lots of desiccated coconut. The sweetness was acceptable.
Quite a good dessert too.
