§ The Dragon roll legend begins § @ Dragon Roll

שששששששששששששששששששששששששששששששששששששששששששששששששששששש
I was surprised there was only one review for this place.

Before my visit, I saw the pictures from Smashing pumpkins review, I was expecting the food to be good.
The sauces caught my attention, I got the impression the roll would be fun with so many sauces to put on it. (Fish sauce, Ketchup, sweet chili, siracha, and teryaki)
The siracha sauce was slightly different to the ones I have seen, the colour here is creamy orange, and the ones I have seen just look like chili sauce.
The fish sauce, which I thought, would be made of fish was actually mayonnaise to go with fish and chips.

The logo design and the shop were brightly coloured, matching the pubs and the partying areas of Lan Kwai Fong.
The dragon on the logo gave it that oriental finish, yet the they were not selling pancake rolls!!

From the menu, it was clear that this shop with an oriental name wasn’t chinese cuisine, yet there was no other cuisine you could quite relate it too.
Also the roll wrap was thin, chewy and soft like the mexican tortilla I had at the Taco Truck.
It was freshly made here. However the choice of fillings here were not authentic mexican.
I wouldn’t say it was turkish or indian either, as the size of the rolls here were slightly smaller and they contained guacamole.
So overall, it seems to be American with an oriental logo to match LKF, with a slight tex-mex touch to it, as most of their rolls contain guacamole.

Anyway I ordered two rolls, the Portobello mushroom roll and the kebab roll.

All the things were freshly done, the roll was freshly pressed on the iron, and the ingredients cooked on the griddle.

Portobello:
The roll was filled with sliced earthy Portobello mushroom, and lettuce, although it didn’t satisfy my hunger it tasted great. All the sauces matched the rolls.

Kebab roll:
This was slightly different to the kebabs at Ebeeneezers, the kebab was a long patty of minced beef and lamb seasoned with a fair amount of cumin.
This was also wrapped with lettuce and onions.

Overall the food here was brilliant, the only thing that I thought was over priced was their coke, it was $17 per can.

Japanese curry pocket @ KFC

With McDonald's promoting the Japanese Sakana burger, KFC have fought back with the Japanese curry pocket.

However I do hope that one day, McD's in HK would come up with a curry burger.

I got the set that comprised of rice with mushrooms, one chicken drumstick, one soft drink and the curry pocket for $34.8.
It was quite a big portion for one.

The curry pocket was served in a cute box that you peel off the top to eat, with the bottom area to hold the pocket.
The piece of fried chicken in the curry pocket is a piece fried chicken thigh that is very juicy and not hard at all.
The texture of the coating on the chicken is same as the coating they use for the signature flaky Hot and Spicy chicken, except that it is not hot.
The coating was slightly flaky and chewy, due to the juice from the chicken.

On one side of the pocket it was layered with shredded salad, mayonnaise and sweetcorn, and on the top side it was curry sauce and onion rings.

The mayonnaise side was like eating Japanese salads with lettuce and sweetcorn, and the curry side wasn’t prominent, there wasn’t much curry sauce.
The curry sauce was not the sort of curry I was expecting, it tasted sweet with a strong taste of raisins just like those English curries, I was looking forward to the usual Japanese curry taste.

Anyway, as a whole, the mayonnaise salad and curry was a weird combination, only the chicken was good, at least it was tough and dry.
But the curry pocket was very messy to eat.

The rest of the items tasted how it should, the drumstick was slightly dry, but it was good that the set contains a drumstick, it rules out the fuss in HK, since most people here will request for the drumstick or thigh.

Tortillas and Fried chicken at Pizzahut

Last year they had the pizza with six different cheeses called cheesy 6 and this year they have come up with the 7-cheese pizza with added Provolone.

Anyway, I was meant to try this pizza, but then I saw other stuff on the menu and ended up trying those.

The items were similar to the ones served at Spaghetti house.
It was interesting that they have created a dish similar to poutine and American fries with the use of different sauces on top.

In the end ordered: Crispy Chicken Strips with French Fries, Prawns Tomato Tortilla, Squid Ink Risotto with Shrimp in Lobster Sauce and Baked Cinnamon Apple Crispy Bread bites with Vanilla Ice-cream.

Crispy Chicken Strips with French Fries
It reminded me of chicken at Spaghetti house, so I ordered it.
When they arrived, the chips were overdone. The chips and chicken was too salty that it stung and the chips tasted like they were soaked in salted water before they were fried.
Apart from that, it took a long time for the fries and chicken to cool down.

Prawns Tomato Tortilla:
Just wanted to eat something similar to a pizza, and this was basically a tortilla covered with cheese and prawns similar to the 7-cheese one, so I ordered that.
Anyway I liked the way they used the tortilla base because it was extremely thin and crispier than the thin crust one.
The texture was similar to filo pastry at the edges.

Squid Ink Risotto with Shrimp in Lobster Sauce
The lobster sauce was too salty, but overall the dish was delicious, especially the pieces of octopus and the rice.

Baked Cinnamon Apple Crispy Bread bites with Vanila Ice-cream
Although the dessert arrived along with the food, it came at a good timing because I liked the way the dessert had time to cool down and the ice-cream melted, so the crispy bread bites were equally covered in ice-cream.
It would have been nice if the apples could taste more tart.
