HK style series - Saucy garlic roast chicken @ KFC

Tried the saucy garlic roasted chicken, which was part of the KFC HK style series.

Overall, the roasted chicken tasted ok, but there was not as much sauce and garlic as shown on the product picture.
It tasted like the flava crava roasted chicken and also the grilled honey chicken wings.

Out of the KFC HK series, the tomato and chicken baked rice was the best.

HK style series - Saucy garlic chicken soft roll @ KFC

Whilst trying out their Hong Kong style series, this is the burger version of the "saucy garlic roasted chicken" in a soft roll.

It is grilled chicken thigh with garlic sauce sandwiched with mayonnaise, cheese and lettuce in a soft dusted roll.

Overall the chicken was very dry and was grilled for too long.

Out of the KFC HK style series the baked rice was the best.

Beadlet Anemones @ Tai O's 隱姑茶果

When you enter Tai O village, this stall is near the entrance and hard to miss, selling those traditional Chinese sweet/savoury teacakes.

The popular white ones with peanut and coconut filling are usually sold out first, they are similar to mochi but not dusted with flour.
Anyway, the ones I got were the dark coloured ones that people do not find appetising, but I thought it was OK, actually I thought they looked a bit like the black Chinese mushrooms hence the name 隱姑茶果 but actually then I realised 隱姑茶果 was the name of the shop.

After reading the reviews on OpenRice, I found out they were called 雞屎籐 teacakes, made from a herb called 雞屎籐 (Paederia scandens).
For me, they tasted Ok, slightly chewy, and sweet, the size was bite-sized.
It costs $4 for 4.

Apart from looking like Chinese mushrooms, they reminded me of Beadlet Anemones found in rocky shores around all coasts of the UK
The Beadlet Anemones are fun to play with too, they will squirt out water when pressure is applied on them!
