Stinging nettles used for food in Hong Kong?

As always there is no customer service and and their service is slow.
Came here again and ordered: Chicken with deep-fried Perilla leaves, Fish, Deep-fried tofu with Chiu Chow sauce

Chicken with deep-fried Perilla leaves
This is a popular dish served in most Chiu Chow style restaurants.
The one here was too salty and too oily.
I felt that the deep fried perilla leaves were not real perilla leaves because it gave my tongue a weird sensation.
I suspect that they were stinging nettles because when they are raw, they look the same.

Deep-fried tofu with Chiu Chow sauce:
The tofu was fried nicely and it was a nice golden yellow.
The sauce that came with it was really nice, it had chopped chives in it and there was a slight garlic taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fish:
As always the fish tastes ok.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Crispy tofu rolled sheets:
These were complimentary with the fish, in Chinese they are called “hengling” which means some sort of bell.
I did not hear any noises except that it makes a crunch when you bite into it, however when you dip it in the broth, it becomes soft and elastic.

Roast meat restaurant hidden amongst the market


 
This roast meat shop is well camouflaged amongst the fish stalls and butchers that you will easily miss it.
As well as selling roast meats to take away, it is also a restaurant.
I got the roast pork with rice for $24 and it comes with soup.
As well as the roast pork I had the chance to try the roast meat, the roast meat had crispy skin and the skin was nice and it tasted like it had sesame oil on it.

Roast pork with rice
The roast pork looked visually lean, but it was extremely fat.
Every time you took a bite in it, you could feel the fat in between the meat and the texture was the same as pork neck meat except for the roast pork was much softer.
Luckily the meat was not too salty or too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Soup
The soup was watercress soup and there was a huge piece of fruit peel in it.
The pork used for this broth did not seem that fresh, hence the fruit peel was probably used cover that up.

☆Kitchen J☆ take away

Ordered two items for take away: Green tea lychee soda and the warabi mochi with black honey.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Green tea lychee soda
The drink was surprisingly nice because the bitterness of the green tea powder toned down the sweetness of the lychee syrup and the soda fizz jazzed up the drink.
Overall I really liked it, but if there was less lychee syrup then it would have tasted nicer.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Warabi mochi with black honey:
The mochi was nice and soft, however the outside was slightly dehydrated that the powder fell off.
The black honey was in a separate little dish, so it was optional and you can control how sweet it is.
The black honey was nice and strong but not too cloyingly sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tea soda:
After trying the green tea lychee soda, I found the fruit syrup too sweet, so this time I tried the plain Tea Soda.
The tea soda tasted better than the green tea because it was made with red tea which tastes strong with some sharp bitterness to it.
There was some syrup in this drink which had sunk to the bottom and the sweetness was much more pleasant compared to the Lychee green tea soda, but I would still like to try plain green tea soda next time.

Hokkaido pumpkin croquette @ MOS Burger

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Hokkaido pumpkin croquette:
Have not tried their croquettes so decided to try it.
Basically it is mashed pumpkin inside the croquette which is coated in Japanese cutlet coating.
I found the coating too heavy and oily.
The croquette filling itself was not too creamy but it was too sweet.
