Foilicious chicken is back and better than ever
Its been a while since KFC did Foilicious chicken, this year the combination for the set seemed quite good so I got it.
The set I got had Foilicious baked chicken with radish, imitation shark fins soup and drink for $39.5.
I was quite surprised by this set, most of the elements were quite Cantonese, especially the imitation sharks fin soup and the Chinese radish being served in a Western fast food chain!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Foilicious chicken:
The chicken from the batch I had was quite dry that day, but if it was a fresh batch it would have tasted perfect.
The sauce they used was the soy sauce that they use to marinade chicken and the chicken skin was thin and it was slighty sticky and gelatinous that I ate it.
However it was quite salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chinese radish:
The radish looked different to the product shot, in the product shot they looked like chunks but the actual items were thin slices. There were four pieces in total.
The radishes were beneath the chicken and it absorbed the sauce. I thought they were going to be served separately because they looked big in the product shot.
Although the radishes tasted nice, they were too salty and not soft enough.

Sharks fin soup:
The sharks fin soup looks similar to the Cantonese one but tastes slightly different as if it has some KFC chicken gravy in it.
In the soup there are pieces of shiitake mushroom imitation sharks fin.
Same comments as above, I found the soup too salty.

Mock sharks fin soup @ Snack Express
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Got the mock sharks fin soup and it tasted really bland.
There was not much ingredients in the soup.
It was about 95% soup and 5% black fungas, egg and chicken.
The taste of the soup was really bland and does not tastes as strong as the 7-11's version.

Tofu heaven @ tofuism 豆腐主義
I love tofu, but usually the places that do the pan-fried tofu with fish paste on top are usually road-side restaurant. As Hong Kong is a hot environment, I am more concerned about hygiene, so I can only eat this during the winter.
Anyway this place totally appealed to me, especially it has a hip English name, the fonts have had thought put into it too.
The menu is also amazing, endless choice, which I have to go back again next time.
This time I tried the fried black tofu with fish paste, tofu sharkfins soup and PeiPa tofu.
All tasted good, and the hygiene was good, the plates were clean, not the sticky plates you would find in the road-side restaurants.
Black Tofu - a generous portion of 5 pieces for $10, the tofu tasted a bit firmer, not as soft as other places, but tasted ok.
Tofu sharkfin soup - tasted perfect, not too salty and no MSG.
The ingredients in this soup were a perfect match: glass vermicelli, tofu, black fungus, very very very fine shreds of duck meat. Infact the soup was a very big portion, and the duck meat enriched the flavour of the soup, overall I was very impressed with the soup because of geniune meat rather than grounded meat.
The temperature was also just right for a superhot day, a torture of heating oneself up in a hot day drinking piping hot soup.
PeiPa tofu: I never tried it before, so this is my first time, but I got a real good impression from it. The outside was golden yellow, and the texture of the crunch was like authentic tempura.
Inside it was filled with fish, herbs and tofu, also not too salty.
The whole thing was 100% edible, first class fish paste, because there were no grounded fish bones to spoil it.
Overall A class tofu for a very cheap price. Awaiting for a branch to open in kowloon or Hong Kong would be great.
The deep fried PeiPa was excellent, as the oil used to fry it was fresh too.
Hope it keeps this standard in the future.

Instant noodles with cheese sauce @ 新記芝士麵茶餐廳
I tried to visit this place, when they opened their first shop in Wanchai, never made it, and after they relocated, finally paid a visit to this one in the backstreets of Wanchai.
Ordered the signature noodles in cheese sauce wtih enoki mushrooms and crabsticks.
Quite glad these were available to pick, as I am not that fond of fried egg, ham, chinese red sausage and stuff like that.
All went well together.

Sea cucumber and fish maw @ 金滬庭京川滬菜館 Shanghai Restaurant
Among all the Shanghai cuisines in Hong Kong, this one is quite recommendable to foreigners, firstly it has a English menu with pictures, and frequently there will be foreigners eating there, so quite well established in that community.
I eat here quite frequently, so I will not review the little dragon buns, or the noodles etc.
In addition to the regular items, I ordered sliced abalone in mustard sauce, which is just canned abalone. For $54 is it a bit pricey, it is a rubbery texture you get from the cans. Also it is not in mustard sauce, there is a separate dish of soy sauce with wasabi for dipping.
To me if it was mixed in a creamy mustard sauce, it would taste much better.
As well as that I ordered the Sea cucumber and fish maw with prawn roe.
This dish was very delectable, rich and thick brown sauce, very pungent of prawn roe covered the sea cucumber and fish maw. The sea cucumber could have been softer, and the fish maw was perfect. Both the sea cucumber and fish maw are quite plain itself, so it tasted good with the strong sauce.
After I finished the dish, there was still sauce left, and so put some of my noodles in it, and made my noodles tasted so good as well.
The waitress was a bit annoying, because she was just about to collect that dish, and I said to her, its not finished, but she still tried to take it, I had to say it to her three times to stop her collecting it, or else I wouldnt of been able to put those noodles in that sauce.
