Farmhouse potato salad @ Marks & Spencer

Felt like eating something light so grabbed the potato salad.

This was the first product of Marks and Spencers I did not like.
I was expecting the potatoes to be soft boiled with lots of chives, but the potatoes were hard in the middle.
The bacon was really fatty and made the salad oily because it was chilled making the sauce much heavier than it was intended to.

Saint Honore 2012 snowy mooncakes

Two new flavours that I am interested in this year!

Crispy apple
Mint and chocolate

Steamed cake @ 潮人飯堂 T.Pot Bristol

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Deep fried vegetables coated in salted egg yolk and batter

 

Usually they coat prawns in salted egg yolk but here they have used aubergines and pumpkins.
In terms of cholestral it is not as high as the prawn version because vegetables are used instead of prawns but it was very oily and greasy from the frying.
The aubergines and pumpkins had shrunk inside when it was fried, so it was mainly batter and some slight powdery egg yolk.
Overall I did not like it because it was just eating fried oily batter with some powdery egg yolk.

Steamed cake

 

Surprisingly this was quite nice, it was not very Chinese which was good, it had sliced almonds on the top and strong cinnamon in the cake mixture.

Weirdest accidental molecular gastronomy prawns

Ordered the prawn dumplings which looked like prawn dumplings however when I ate them, the skin was so mushy and floury.

 

Next the prawn filling inside, it had no prawn taste and it tasted like prawn filling made of flour dough and steamed flour!
I think this place must have invented some recipe for turning flour to pretend to be prawn, hence accidental molecular gastronomy!!.

Mussel sushi @ Sushi Take Out

Got the mussel sushi because it was not sold before, however there was lots of sand and the texture was quite mushy.
As for the grounded salmon it fared better.

Sushi @ Bento Express by Jusco

Got some sushi from here, salmon and prawn with sea urchin.
There was eight in the pack, four of each.

 

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Prawn with sea urchin:
This was quite nice and the sea urchin was fresh and not bitter like some places.
The prawn was relatively fresh too.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Salmon:
The salmon was not fresh and it was chewy.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

BBQ Chipotle sauce @ McDonald's

McD's BBQ Chipotle sauce!

I was looking forward to this one because it is hard to find Chipotle sauce in Hong Kong unless you know where you can specifically get it.
Anyway I liked the way they have mixed their BBQ sauce with Chipotle sauce because it tastes like their usual BBQ sauce with added spicyness from the chili.
However I found the BBQ Chipotle sauce hotter than the Chili pomodoro sauce.
