Sweet desserts now available @ Hoi Kee in Jordan

I was really happy to see a new branch of Hoi Kee in Jordan.
Chungs dessert and Chung kee used to be my favourite but now Hoi Kee's is my favourite!

There are other branches in Mong Kok and To Kwa Wan, but TKW is too far and the one at Mk is not that good.
While I was outside looking at the banner, this weirdo shouted at the menu and said it was not nice, but I still went in anyway.

White dessert:
This is my favourite dessert at Hoi Kee but they used to only available at certain times of the day but now it is available all day but the price is slightly higher.
It has my favourite sago, mini rice dumplings, aloe vera and cream.
The sweetness was just right with strong vanilla flavouring.

Crushed cherry ice:
I was disappointed with this because the crushed cherry ice was solid and frozen.
The taste of cherry was not cloyingly sweet was it was syrupy, however the taste was not artificial which was good.
It came with strawberry icecream on top and canned peaches.

Pistachio flavoured snowflake ice:
This is my second time having this dessert and it still tastes great because the pistachio flavouring is natrual.
However I did not like the orange coloured gelatin balls. They tasted really artificial.

Fish and chips at the Lan Kwai Fong Carnival 2012

I was quite looking forward to Harringtons food stall this year because they had the sausage rolls at the LFK Beer festival which I did not try that time because I had already just had lunch at Harringtons!!!

This time they had a stall again at the LFK carnival and on the first day they had fish and chips and meat pies.
On the second day they had casserole I think.

Fish and chips:
The fish displayed in the cabinet was fish in batter but the one served was smaller pieces of fish in breadcrumbs.
Anyway it was good I could sample their fish and chips without needing to order the full portion at Harringtons because there are some irresistably good set lunches.
It was good there was Heinz ketchup and salt but there was no vinegar.
The chips were not that crispy because they had been fried for some time.

Meat pies:
The meat pie was quite nice because it had lean minced beef in rich gravy inside.

Bonjour Bakery pour le petit déjeuner

Thanks to Ivy for these cute mini walnut cupcakes which I had for breakfast!
Indeed a perfect morning with a Bonjour greeting!

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mini walnut cupcakes:
I think there were about eight mini cakes inside and when I opened the bag there was lovely butter smell.
The sweetness was just right and there were crispy pieces of walnut in it and the cakes were very buttery.
The taste reminds me of the Chinese style sliced cakes at the bakery but these were in cake shaped form.

Hainan style chicken @ Jordan's Pak Don

To be honest I came in here because there were not many people dining in here!

Sometimes this is how I choose my restaurants because when there are fewer people, the restaurant will be more patient at taking orders and the quality is slightly better because it is not rushed.
Ordered the rice with chicken medium which does not come with soup.
If you order the large set it comes with golden pumpkin soup for $4X.

As I have not tried this place before I ordered the medium size because I actually wanted to eat at Hoi Kee's next door but needed something as a filler first.
Although I did not order the soup, I caught a glimpse of the golden orange soup which reminded me of Hainan chicken place at Sai King located in the narrow lane.

Hainan style chicken:
The rice was a little too soft but it was greased by chicken oil which made it easy to eat and swallow.
The chicken was quite nice because I was given decent white meat, there was only two pieces which was the bony end of the chicken wingette which I could not eat and can be seen placed on the side of the plate along with chicken skin.
The sauces given were sweet dark soy sauce, chili sauce and ginger puree (green).
My favourite was the ginger puree which was not even salty.
The chili sauce was too watery and sweet for my liking and the soy sauce was the sweet syrupy type.
