Professor's delicious fried chicken @ PHD

My second visit and I still have not tried their pizzas yet.
I came here especially for the chicken because the reviewers say that it tastes better than KFC!

I tried the following items:
Chicken drummettes with buffulo sauce
Fried chicken
Chicken nuggets

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Chicken drummettes with buffulo sauce:
These were slightly dry and tough.
The meat was firmly attached to the bone.
Apart from buffulo sauce there were other sauces to choose from.
Chicken wings with buffulo sauce

Fried chicken:

Fried chicken
 
This was the best amongst the three, I felt it was better than KFC too.
It is not as heavily flavoured as KFC, but flavoured enough and the amount of MSG is less than KFC because you do not feel imediately thirsty.
On the coating, you can see some dark spices.
As for the texture of the chicken, it was so moist and juicy. The texture of the chicken was incredibly soft like cotton.

Chicken nuggets:
The chicken nuggets are not shaped like the nuggets found in McD's, but they are pieces of chicken dipped in light batter, the same as the ones served at Saizeriya.
The chicken meat used was thigh meat so it was nice and tender.
It came with tomato sauce, but it was not Heinz ketchup, I found the ketchup to be slightly too sweet.

Strawberry Cliff starring Eason and Haggis craving @ The Canny Man

Had another craving for Haggis so thought of The Canny Man.

The trailer for Strawberry cliff starring Eason reinforced it even more because The Canny Man was one of the filming locations.
The whole film is in English, so for expats and ABC/BBC/CBC's who like Eason, they will be able to understand it.

Anyway I ordered the Sample of Haggis and it was two scoops if swede and the haggis was served on a bed of mash.

It tasted as good as before, especially the gravy and swede, however the portion size has been reduced because on my previous visit there were three scoops of my favourite swede.

Sicilian meatball and spaghetti pasta @ Pizza Hut

This was not on the delivery menu before so decided to try it.
It costs $62 which qualifies for delivery.

It tasted better than I expected, the sauce for the pasta was rich tomato sauce infused with basil.
It has a tangier taste than the bolognaise sauce.
It also tastes like Heinz tinned spaghetti, but the texture of spaghetti is not as mushy as the tinned one. As for the meatballs I liked them as well, they were soft, and it tasted like the Italian sausage meat use in their supreme pizza.

Braised beef brisket with rancid e-fu noodles @ Tai Hing New Century Restaurant

Made the mistake of eating Chinese food again.

Anyway this time came here for lunch because the locals only ate Chinese.

Ordered the steamed pork patty with salted fish and the braised beef brisket with e-fu noodles.

steamed pork patty with salted fish
It was so salty. I know Salted fish is meant to be salty but pork itself was oversalted.

braised beef brisket with e-fu noodles
I think I made the wrong choice as well ordering this.
Since e-fu noodles are fried before they are packaged it reeked of oil, and it absorbed the gamey smell of the beef.
The real thing was not as good as the product shot, the sauce was not even visible.

BBQ pork mini puffs @ Pie and Tart Specialists

Tried the mini puffs which costs $10 for four.

They were quite Asian because they were topped with sesame.

Anyway, I did'nt like it because the pastry was too buttery and the BBQ filling was too sweet.
