Italian pasta at the local Chinese cafe! @ 銳記茶餐廳

Although the previous review on the pasta here was negative I came here especially for the Pasta!

It was quite interesting to see pasta on the menu in a Chinese cafe.

For the pasta, it is basically a multitude of combinations.

First you need to choose the sauce: cream or tomato.
Secondly, there are three ingredients to pick from the choice of five, namely: ham, mushroom, tuna, clams, sausage.
Then finally, you pick your pasta from a choice of: fusilli, angel hair, spinach fettucine or Penne.

 

I tried the same combination of spinach fettucine cooked with tuna, clams and mushrooms cooked in cream sauce and tomato sauce.

 

 

 

Both were not bad, however the one in cream sauce was slightly too creamy, but after adding pepper and salt it made it better.
The tomato one was also good too.

On the side of the table, there were compartments with condiments, the best one was Sesame oil!
Not many places will have sachets of sesame oil for you to use freely.
Similar to adding Olive oil to pasta, I added sesame oil to my pasta for fun, and it tasted quite nice.

 

One of the waitors here was also interesting, he himself was a very tidy and clean fella, his uniform was pure white and spotless.
He was probably in his late 50s but took pride in his appearance as well as keeping the tables neat and tidy!

McD's German chicken sausage burger trial tester

Thanks to mjqueen7e's review I found out about this new burger, it is only available in a few restaurants in Hong Kong.
It is not officially on McD's website, but thanks to mjqueen7e for letting me know the English addresses of the available restaurants.

Just as she said, not all McD's serve this burger, and when I went to this particular branch, it really did have this burger.

 

As well as this burger, I was also able to order the Hazelnut Latte which is a beverage from McCafe, it was also served in a McCafe's plastic cup.

Luckily I knew which restaurant had this burger because I heard one of the customers behind asking which restaurants served this burger and that staff was reluctant to list out all the shops.

Germany's version of the sausage burger
Interestingly the German chicken sausage burger is not served in Germany, but the closest one they have is the Nuremburger which actually has real sausages in the burger and not sausage patty.

German chicken sausage burger

The elements in this burger are:
Emmental cheese,
saukeraut,
dill mustard,
chicken sausage,
slab lemon chicken patty.

I love emmental cheese because it has a cheesier taste than McD's regular processed cheese, and I like all the tangy elements in it such as saukeraut and the chicken marinated with lemon.
Best of all, it is not beef or pork and it is a nice filling burger for someone with a large appetite because it has a chicken patty sausage, a nice change from pork sausage and a piece of chicken.

Although the burger box said it contains a lemon chicken patty, I found it to be a piece of grilled chicken thigh with skin.
The piece of chicken was tender and juicy and the whole burger was really filling and tantalizing especially with the lemon and saukeraut.
It would be great if they put more dill mustard as this was the only taste that wasnt present.
All the rest were distinct such as the chicken, lemon, saukeraut and chicken sausage patty.
But my far, this is my favourite burger served in Hong Kong's McD, but for other McD's in other countries there are other yummy burgers especially in India.
Anyway I wish this could be permanently on the menu.

Hazelnut latte

 

 

 

 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As well as trying the burger, I got the Hazelnut latte which is a trial drink from McCafe's by paying $4 extra.
Again, it was a nice drink, the coffee taste was not strong so that was why I liked it and it had a strong hint of Hazelnut syrup (most probably monins syrup!)
Anyway asked for less ice, but they still fill 80% of the cup with it!
