KFC : Crunchy Munchy Black Pepper chicken

Got the Crunchy-Munchy Black Pepper chicken and I was surprised it tasted better than I expected.
I was expecting fried chicken with plain spicy black pepper taste but the black pepper was not that strong and there was basil flavouring it in as well which made it really nice.

With the set, I had Chicken A La King and I had that first before eating the chicken.
It is similar to chicken royale but nothing as nice compared to it and there is not meant to be black pepper taste in the chicken royale.

It ruined the fried chicken for me because the black pepper taste in the Chicken A La King was much stronger than the black pepper in the fried chicken.

Black pepper chicken burger @ 新金鐘食堂

Came here for a late afternoon tea, ordered noodles with pork skin with radish, and black peppered chicken burger.

The noodles were OK and tasted how they should, the pork skin reminded me of unshaven stubble.
Anyway the chicken burger was the best, it was much better than I expected, the chicken was thinly cut, also nicely grilled. It was a little different to what I imagined. I was expecting a round bun, but it was a long shaped bun. Also I thought there would be black peppar sauce, however it was chicken marinated with black peppar, then dressed with salad cream.

We thought the food was so good, we ordered an extra tea set, it was already past the tea-time hours but they let us order it.

Apart from their tea, their menu is also quite extensive and very cheap too!

Nice variety of hotdog choices @ JHD

JHD and PHD are both fast food restaurants, one specialising in hot dogs the other on pizza.
Not long ago, its first branch was in the industrial area of Kwun Tong, it was on my to eat list, but Kwun Tong was a bit far fetched.
JHD has proved itself by opening branches in Wan Chai and other places.

For hot dogs, there are only six choices, US relish dog, hot chilli dog, cheese, sweet grilled dog, fresh farm dog, and japanese dog.

The choices of sides are endless, there were so many I wanted to try such as the Gustuv fries (garlic fries), chicken bites, banana foster (fried cheesecake) and the salads (egg salad, bacon potato, and Waldorf).

I opted for the US Relish, although I couldnt find any relish in the listed ingredients: signature beef sauce, diced onions and herbs.

US RELISH HOTDOG
When I got it, I could only see the ketchup, french mustard, onions, I couldnt see any beef sauce or was the tomato sauce meant to be beef sauce.
All the items on the dog went well together, the crunchy onions and the french mustard.

For the side order I chose the mini potato cakes as the salad was sold out.
They were thin flat pieces. It was good they were thin because it wasnt so oily, and there was hints of black peppar in it too.

 

Taiwanese version of the obanyaki (Imagawayaki) @ 醬爆果子燒

This shop looked interesting, tiny but with all the intricate details of a Taiwanese stall.

 

 

 

 

The snacks look exactly like the Japanese obanyaki's which are filled with savoury or sweet fillings.
It is made of batter and heated in the waffle iron and the filled with fillings. The common fillings are custard, fruits, red beans, and other savoury items.

As well as round ones, they also have triangular ones!!

However these are more artistic because the shell has a different coloured batter that creates a pattern as shown on their poster.
The slight difference is that the two halves are not completely sealed, so the fillings ooze out, so perhaps this is why they are called "jeung bau" but it makes it very messy to eat.

 

There were ten flavours to choose from, printed on their paper bags:
Cheese and onion with chicken
Black peppar, sweetcorn and tuna
Rich taro
Strawberry and cream
Peach and custard
Original custard
Green tea and red bean puree
Original red beans
Belgian chocolate and custard

They cost $10 each, or $27 for three, so I got three and tried the following flavours, 2 savoury and 1 sweet.

After paying, I was given a ticket, so I took a walk around the area, I managed to buy other snacks slowly and returned they were still not ready, but I could see that they were making one flavour at each time.

 

 

When they were done, they were presented in box, the halves were not really sealed, which is very messy to eat, so decided to eat them in halves.

The peach one was nice, the filling for the savoury alone were good, especially the pepper, because it was freshly grounded black pepper.
However for the savoury one, the batter was sweet, which didnt really go well together.
The batter could have been cooked more thoroughly because the outside was crispy, but the inside was still floury.

Not sure if they are meant to be like that, because for the Japanese version, the filling is totally encased inside the shell.
