Fried sushi roll @ KFC

Had a really good expectation of the sushi roll, as sushi can never go wrong.
So ordered two.

The outer side of sushi is covered in crunchy breadcrumbs, and the inside is piping hot.
The center is composed of crabmeat, prawn, thousand island sauce, wrapped in rice, then a layer of seaweed.

Overall it tasted good, two is not enough!

 

Strong bean sauce with impact @ 好旺角麵家 Good Hope Noodle

Finally made an effort to try this place, only because the sauce is served separate instead of on top of the noodles.

Anyway I ordered the Jah-Jeung noodles, the sauce came separately as expected.
I tried the Jah-Jeung sauce, a very dark, thick, burgundy coloured mixture of chili and meat. The meat was more like the edges of char-siu, rather than grounded meat or sliced meat.
The sauce tastes of a very strong mix of that thick yellow bean sauce and hoi-sin sauce from the English takeaways, not sure if the hoi-sin sauce and yellow bean sauce is the same as the ones in Hong Kong.

Anyway basically the sauce tastes like the ones for the peking duck wraps.
Overall tasted good.

 

Green princess salad @ Applegreen

Finally tried this place, after seeing all the scrumptious pictures.

It can be very delicious or it can be ordinary depending on what you pick.

The buffulo wings were a bit of a disappointment, not cooked thorough enough, as it is still red and bloody around the bones.
The fries in cajun seasoning were aromatic, and fried just right.

The Green princess salad, was elegant and presented as stated, slightly too small as a portion. But I suppose quality is better than quantity.

Then finally the seared Ahi Tuna was the best, tuna wrapped in seaweed then fried in a tempura batter, half cooked, with the wasabi soya vinegar sauce was a perfect match.

 

 

Quality egg tarts and pies @ 小阮子

I dont have many favourite places for egg tarts or pies, but this is definately one of them.
For egg tarts, you can either have the hot ones or cold ones, the cold ones are really good, flakey crust crust with a cool egg tart filling, just the right sweetness.

Then for pies, I have tried the peach pie and the apple pie.
Both have a lovely light and crumbling buttery crust, not to sweet either.

 

 

Trek into the New Territories for Taro snowflake ice @ 綿綿冰甜品屋

I rarely go to the New Territories, but I came all the way just to try their Taro flakey ice, after researching on openrice, this is the only place that does Taro flavour.

However, when it was served, the texture just turned out to be 100% ice-cream, the taste was purely frozen Taiwanese Taro milk tea, made with that milk powder.

I believe the suppliers do not have Taro flavour, so they must have made their own concoction of it, and processed it with the flake shaving machine. Probably the mixture was too creamy, hence it doesnt have that icey texture.

For the toppings, there were somes that were not offered in other dessert houses, such as the black sugar jelly (shaped like chopped spaghetti), and the green tea jelly cubes usually found in the Taiwanese drinks. Awkwardly enough, the topping were placed beneath the shaved ice rather than on top!

Apart from dessert, also ordered fried smiley potatoes and taiwanese fried chicken with your choice seasoning.

The smiley potatoes are not a a regular menu item in alot of places, so I ordered that, they were golden yellow, but still too overfried for my liking, as I like it crunchy outside with a soft inside. But I think this is the way Hong Kong people like to fry their stuff.

For the fried chicken pieces, it is basically fried chunks of chicken thigh in a crunchy flour coating, and my choice of seasoning was seaweed. There are various other seasonings such as curry, mexican chili, spring onion and so on.
