Flavoured rice at 囍點

Unfortunately Mr Taco Truck has closed down and this has taken its place!

They have a restaurant nearby but this one is better because it is on street level.

I tried the chicken and pork.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Three cups chicken with fragrant sesame rice:

The chicken was really good because it was boneless strips of chicken and the rice tasted amazing but perhaps a bit heavy for lunch.

The rice tasted like peanut butter but it was a bit too salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pork with fragrant rice:

The pork was not that good because it was fatty strips of meat!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Their signature soups were disappointing because the pumpkin soup was too sweet.

Mexican food from Quarry Bay to Central

Mr Taco Truck (Central)

This shop used to be a tiny joint in Quarry Bay but now it is a proper restaurant in Central with comfortable seating and more delicious items on the menu.

Mexican food is not just Chili con carne and tacos, there are so many different things, some with a Spanish touch which is why they speak Spanish too.

Quite alot of the food revolves using ingredients such as avocado, lime and tomatoes which are all my favourite because they make a refreshing combination.

Here was what we had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Quesadilla Supreme with Al Pastor Pork:

Quesadillas are my favourite because it is cheesey with delicious avocado and salsa filling.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Super Nachos with Chicken:

I am not fond of nachos but the nachos here were thin and crispy paired with appetizing salsa and guacamole.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Refried beans with nachos:

Although this was plain and simple, this was my favourite because refried beans are velvety and silky.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Grilled Fish Taco:

I loved these soft tacos with delicate fish and finely chopped salad on top.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mexican beef stew (Birria en caldo) $138:


Served with Lime, Onion, Cilantro, Flour Tortilla or White Rice.
This was my favourite because it tasted like a rich beef broth with delicious rice and cilantro in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken Mole (Mole con pollo):

I have always wanted to try this because the sauce is made with cocao which gives it an interesting taste yet it is not sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mexican Seafood paella $288:

As well as the chicken mole, this was another one of my favourites because the rice is cooked in prawn broth which gives it a strong seafood taste and they have also put baby squids for more flavour.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Grilled Adobo-Marinated Beef & Pork:

This was meat and more meat which is great for guys.
The pork was tender and well marinated.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mexican Corn Bread:

The corn bread here is different and the best compared to other ones I have tried because it is lovely and soft with an eggy taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Homemade Churro with Chocolate Dip:

The churros are freshly made so they have a crispy coating while it is soft on the inside.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mexican Banana split:

This does not taste like your regular banana because they are plantains which have a soft and mushy texture.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sweet crepes with homemade icecream:

I didn't try the crepe, but the sweetcorn icecream was amazing, there was so much sweetcorn in it.
The texture is different to normal icecream because there are flakes of ice in it that give it a special mouthfeel and taste.
Their icecream is so unique they should have a Mexican icecream parlour.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
For Christmas, they have various packages for the office or you can hold a party there because the upper floor is big enough for 22 people and 50 people for the whole restaurant.
Book early and to take advantage of discounts, please see other reviews for full details.

White Beard pies, fish and chips

Discovered this place randomly because I got the ferry from TST to Central.
On my way out discovered this joint.


Prices are quite reasonable so I will be back for more and try their pies.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fish bites:

Chips were nice and crispy with fluffly centre and the batter had a nice golden coating with flakey fish inside.

MOS Burger's 8th Anniversary : Squid burger MOS Burger

MOS Burger's 8th Anniversary hence the new squid burger!!

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Squid burger:

The squid burger was really nice, on top of the patty there was sweetcorn mixed with eggy mayonnaise which was strangely viscous.

The patty was crisp on the outside and in the middle it was moist and slightly gelatinous with chopped up pieces of squid.


It tasted nice because the squid flavour was strong and there were hints of prawn too in the patty.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Hopefully, they will launch a crab burger someday!!

New Peruvian chicken joint : Healthy Chicken

11/10/2014
Healthy Chicken
中環威靈頓街87號群英商業大廈地下A2舖
Shop A2, G/F, Khuan Ying Commercial Building, 87 Wellington St., Central
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/new-peruvian-chicken-joint-in-central-e2397849

Ever since I found out about Healthy Chicken I have been meaning to go because I love chicken but it wasn’t open yet.
Walked past one day and they were doing a soft opening.
Just took some quick photographs because there was a group of people there probably thinking that this girl is weird taking photos or they must have thought that I could have been a competitor or something like that.
I liked the menu because you can get plain chicken, chicken with sides or chicken wraps.
For the chicken, you can get the breast (which is skinless), the whole leg or even chicken wings.
Not many roast chicken shops have chicken wings on their own because it comes attached to the breast.

I went for the plate which had chicken with all the sides they have on offer, but since they were soft opening there was no cheese, pinto beans or the full choice of sauces.

Basically you choose which part of the chicken you want and then you go to the sides counter and lastly you choose a sauce and pay for it.
Next time I will try the breast because it seems to be kept moist in some liquid.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
My box of chicken being processed.
Three different rice flavours: brown, tomato and spinach.
Vegetables: tomato mix, grilled peppers and lettuce.

black beans

Ready to go after the sauce was put in.
(only two sauces that day because they were not officially open.)

The box is big with their logo stuck on it.

The price was $68 which was about right compared to La Rotisserie and Flame.

Salad:

Rice:

Chicken:

Tomatoes and mixed grilled peppers:

On the lid, it has the words Thank you on it.

Overall, I loved the rice especially the spinach and tomato flavoured one. The chicken was good but I think it would have been nicer if I ate it there.
Next time I will go for the breast instead of the chicken leg.

Hope to see more Peruvian items as this joint is listed as Peruvian.
