Prawn burger:
Came back for the prawn burger.


The prawn patty was coated in breadcrumbs, layered with lettuce and drizzled with ketchup.
The bun was delicious with crispy sesame seeds on top.


Overall the prawn burger was nice but the prawn patty did not have much taste.

♥ Auntie Sweet's desserts that melt your ♥

Auntie Sweet (Tin Hau)

Before they moved here, they had another branch nearby, but that time they only specialized in Chinese desserts so I never went because I can't stand Chinese desserts.

As well as Auntie Sweet, there is also Dessert Loma (Dessert old mum) across the road which serves snowflake ice and cakes which I have already tried at Shaukeiwan.

I went to Auntie Sweet because I wanted to try the strawberry yoghurt sago which is a modified version of the one at Chung's dessert in Po Lam.

You melt my heart:


Ordered this because the tubs of tofu looked cute, they were made to order and it comes with a timer to indicate when it is ready to eat.
I also got it because it was chocolate flavoured tofu.
The chocolate tofu is ready to eat in three easy steps.



When the timer goes off, add the slice of chocolate to the tofu.
(Notice the surface of the chocolate is MATT)


When the surface of the chocolate is shiny, the chocolate tofu is ready to eat.



I felt that the chocolate tofu was delicious on its own without the addition of the chocolate slice and it was packed with tastes of soy bean and chocolate.
The texture was silky and delicate with a lovely beany aroma and tastes similar to Western chocolate pudding.

Strawberry yoghurt sago:

I used to like this dessert at Chung's but the sweetness got too sweet, but at this place they have a yogurt version.
The taste was amazing because they used natural yoghurt which was gorgeous, it is similar to frozen smoothie but the ice particles were finer and melted quickly leaving deliciously cold yoghurt sago.
The sweetness was just right but I would prefer more yoghurt in the dessert because the yoghurt taste was not strong enough.
It also contains coco de nata just like the dessert at Chung's.

Chocolate cookie milkshake:


The cocoa taste was strong.

To try on next visit:
On my next visit I want to try the Green tea tofu milkshake!


I will order the strawberry yoghurt sago and chocolate tofu again and hopefully it tastes consistent!!

Hot-Star Chicken coating harder than bone

I have always wanted to try this place but the branch in MK is really busy and there is not really a place where you can stop and eat in MK as well as consuming it with lovely second hand smoke as well.

 

 

Anyway, walked past this branch and the fried chicken "looked" quite nice behind the counter, the coating was golden as if it was just done.

 

Anyway, I just ordered a piece of fried chicken drumstick to see if their chicken was good.

 

 

I assumed they were already done as there were lots by the counter.But they were fried again when you ordered, so the coating was mega hard!

Fried chicken leg:

 

I was not pleased that it was fried again because it means that there is more oil and it smells, hence the spices they put on it.

 

The coating itself was salty enough and did not need those spices.
Anyway, the coating was really hard so I whacked some stuff with the chicken leg and to my surprise it still did not crack.

I started eating it and found that the bone was broken before it was cooked, which explains why the coating was so hard to hold the broken bone together and act like a plaster cast!!!

 

 

Anyway, the advantage of that super hard coating was that it can be fried many times and the chicken inside would still be juicy and soft because the oil cannot get through it.
As for the taste, I found it too salty and the coating was crunchy, hard and thick, and it was about 2mm thick too.
On a positive note, the chicken was still juicy thanks to the coating!
