McDonalds Kids meals in Hong Kong

On the happy meal menu, there is a choice of fish burger, chicken nuggets, beef burger or hamburger along with small fries or sweet corn.
For drinks there are: Ribena, Qoo Soy milk, Minute maid orange juice, soft drinks and hot chocolate.
I was quite content with the burger choices because I usually order the fish burger or the hamburger anyway.
I prefer the kid’s meals because the portion of fries is smaller and there are more choices for drinks.

Qoo Soy Milk:I really liked this; it was creamy with a vanilla tone to it similar to white rabbit sweets.
There is no soy bean taste in the drink.
The sweetness was just right.

Dessert mania of choices and choices

I have always wanted to try this place for the puddings, as well as puddings they also have noodles.
I am impressed because each of these puddings are individually packed and labelled, extremely hygienic and convenient for takeaway.

Most of the places I have seen before are old style and serve these puddings in uncovered metal trays or ceramic bowls.
At least the puddings here are kept in a display cabinet away from flies possibly with refrigeration too.

 

 

The ones I have seen in the past are quite scary, the puddings are kept in the open, and when people buy them, they are then cut from the batch and put in plastic bags.
Some puddings are served in capsules the same ones for capsule toys.

They have more than thirty choices of sweet and savoury puddings.

 

The sweet choices are: Almond pudding, green bean pudding, Wolfberry and longan pudding, Sago and taro pudding, ginger and sweet potato pudding, Momordica pudding, red bean pudding, coconut and milk pudding, sesame pudding, black eye pea pudding, osthmanthus pudding, split pea pudding, taro pudding, snow fungas and red dates pudding, water chestnut pudding, pumpkin and cream pudding, sticky sago pudding, and red bean bowl pudding.

Savory: Vegetable dumplings, White radish cake, wrapped rice dumplings.

The size of these puddings are quite small and cost $4 each, so you can try different flavours subject to availability.
I wanted to try the pumpkin and cream pudding and the ginger and sweet potato but they were sold out, so in the end I got the black eyed bean pudding and the Grosvenor momordica pudding.

Black eyed bean pudding:
I thought this was going to be savoury, but it turned out sweet.
There was generous black eyed beans in it but they were slightly too hard.

Grosvenor momordica pudding:
This reminded me of the cane sugar pudding in Central, the grosvenor momordica taste was faint.

☆Γρεξοπ☆ΓΡΕΞΟπ☆Grecoπ☆Γρεψοπ☆Γκρέκοπ☆

This restaurant immediately caught my attention because of the Greek letter π (Pi).

For the first year of Maths at Imperial College, you are required to learn the Greek alphabet as a prerequisite, however the most Greek letters I ever used were alpha, beta, sigma and delta.

Anyway, it was really fun to see that their dining tables are decorated with Greek letters.

I faxed them over an order because I was not sure if they would understand me reading out the Greek dishes in a British accent, also if the staff was Asian I wasn’t sure if I could understand them pronouncing Greek dishes with an Asian accent!

Although these are not the types of kebabs I am looking for, I still like to try new dishes especially the Mezedes.

But I wish someone would open a British style Pakistani kebab shop in Hong Kong, the Greasy ones with julienne cabbages, lemon juice and chilli sauce that are WTF (worth the fat) as the-eating-pan saids.

I ordered the following: 1 X Skewer Souvlaki Kalamaki, Greek yoghurt with honey and walnuts, Grilled feta cheese, Patzarosalata (beetroot) and the Melitzanosalata.
The Patzarosalata was not available so I changed it to the Tzatziki.
I was disappointed because I really wanted to try the Patzarosalata mezedes, which is made with beetroot and yoghurt.

1x Skewer Souvlaki Kalamaki
This was tender grilled smoked chicken on a skewer, the chicken was juicy however it was bland on its own and tasted nice with Mezedes.

Greek yoghurt with honey and walnuts:
This was my favourite, the yoghurt was extremely thick like cream cheese with a very tart taste!
The texture of the honey is so much different and runnier than the ones I have tried.
The way I ate this was spooning the yoghurt and letting excess honey fall off.
I think this is the best honey because people always say that honey is soothing but I never felt that, all I felt was the sweetness of it stinging my throat! But the honey here was truly soothing! The sweetness was natural.

Tzatziki:
I did not really want to order this, but because the Patzarosalata was not available I got this instead. The taste of cucumber was faint, and it tasted the same as the yoghurt in the dessert.

Grilled feta cheese
I have never tried grilled feta before, so this was new to me.
I felt that it could have been grilled more because it just tasted like feta that was steamed.
The texture was not stringy like the typical heated cheese, but it was soft and mushy.
The olive oil and herbs enhanced the grilled feta’s taste nicely.

Melitzanosalata
This was grounded parsley, aubergines, red peppers, and walnuts with olive oil.
It reminded me of some starter at Habibi (Mediterranean food).
The paste was very light and moist similar to puree.

Pita bread: This came with dips and there were so many herbs sprinkled on it. The pita bread was thicker and chewier than the ones I have come across before.

Delicious ham and egg sandwich by Maxim's bakery

I did not expect to get anything from Maxim's, but they had these egg and ham sandwiches which looked really inviting because there was runny egg in the middle.
There were quite a few of them like that because the egg had not been cooked properly, but I like part of the egg still in liquid form.
The colour of the egg was a nice yellow and the egg did not have that old oil taste like they do in Chinese Cafes.
The ham was good as well, not fried because Chinese Cafes like to treat them like bacon and fry them. The British don’t do that, apart from the Chinese people from HK who go over to the UK.
