Cute burgers but grouchy over a cocktail stick

Apart from this restaurant I wanted to dine at the one next to it to.

It was hard getting to the middle restaurant because you were shoved the menu before you could even walk to the other restaurant.
Since I wanted to try the mini burgers here I didnt mind.

Fries with meat sauce:

 

The meat sauce tasted like the filling in the shepherds pie, it had carrots, minced beef in tomato sauce sprinkled with spring onions and finely grated cheese.
I felt that forks should have been given because it was extremely difficult trying to eat the chips with skewers and there was still plenty of meat sauce which I couldnt eat with a skewer!

Mini turkey burgers:

 

The patty was grilled on a surface that previously had beef on it so there was strong beef juices on it as well.
The pickles and sauces were really refreshing but the mini burgers did not have those cute cocktail sticks as shown on the previous reviews that Foodcraver and LawrenceLau posted.

2008 Roast Turkey @ Devil's Advocate

Third time having official roast this year, twice at Delaney’s, the first time wasn’t complete, as cranberry sauce was not given, despite being listed on the menu.
On the second visit, was given cranberry sauce, however no pictures were taken for this restaurant.

With Christmas rapidly approaching, I just had to order Roast Turkey when I had the chance, however it was a Saturday, and not many places were offering lunch on a non office day.

My first choice was Mes Ami, but it was closed, then I went to the Devil’s Advocate, and managed to order it, as it was a Saturday, I was lucky to be served Roast Turkey, and order it A la Carte.

The Roast here was good, the turkey here was a little dry, but at least it had roast parsnips, which I haven’t had in years, the caramelized baby carrots were absolutely gorgeous, chewy, and sweet, with a roasted skin. I usually don’t eat carrots, but the ones here are good. The potatoes were soft and well done, and the mash was good too.

2008 Chrstmas dinner @ Les Amis

The turkey was juicy and tender compared to the other two places I tried, the downside is that they don’t have my favourite stuffing or gravy, however there was foie gras. The cranberry sauce had whole cranberries in it which can be seen on the picture, but the sauce was slightly sweet.

Like any usual set lunch, it included starter and a drink; my chicken salad was more like Caesar salad with three shreds of chicken on it.
Then we were given a mince pie with cream to share, which tasted like the normal mince pie with raisins and sultanas.

Roast Turkey Finale of 2008 @ Grande

This is Part three of my Roast turkey lunch, the last of it for 2008, so long until next Christmas!

Usually when I eat in Sai Kung, I really do not know what to expect, either it will be good or the opposite.
Anyway with this one, I thought the portion was a bit small, although soup was included, but for that price you would usually get soup, main and drink over at the Hong Kong side.

The plate of turkey was rather meditteranean to me, the peppers and courgettes were grilled, no brussel sprouts and only One roast potato. Not very western.

I think if I came here first, I would not have been impressed with portion, but since I have had my fair share of turkey, I am not that bothered about it. The turkey did not come from a properly roasted turkey, but roasted turkey breast rolls.

The stuffing was a bit different, a big slice, the same as the turkey with chestnuts and bits of meat in it, however the menu was slightly confusing, sausage and chestnut stuffing meaning a sausage and some chestnut stuffing, or sausage and chestnut stuffing mixed up ?!

If you have read my earlier part two review, I was actually served a sausage, usually Chipolatas are served with turkey.

 

Sunday roast everyday @ Delaneys

This is my regular stop for sunday lunch any day, roast meat/poultry sliced for you at the carvery.

The roast includes a soup/salad, and a drink. The salad is self service, at the salad bar, ranging from unpickled beetroot to potato salad.

As for the roast, it has to be collected yourself, but you can pick and have what ever vegetable you want.
The roast I had that day was turkey, and requested for a yorkshire pudding too, and lots of gravy.

 

2009 Turkey @ The Canny Man

Already had roast turkey last week, so this is part 2, too lazy to write about it, since I wrote about it last year, and its standards have remained
http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/commentdetail.htm?commentid=1963111

Last year I didnt go to Carnegies, either they didnt have the xmas lunch or it was so conveniently located, I could try it anytime.

I was surprised it all tasted really good, the stuffing was the best, strong with herbs, and there were bits of meat in it. The bacon wrapped sausage was good too, it was salty from the bacon.
The roast vegetables were slightly over roasted but ok, I liked the potatoes as they were cut to smaller pieces, and parsnips were good.
The brussel sprouts could have been softer, they were so hard, my fork couldnt get through it!
As for the turkey, I was surprised it was tender and juicy.

Then for dessert, had minced pie, not baked but microwaved, as the pastry was soft.
To finish it off, had a nice cup of tea.
