The best Hot Wraps from Pret A Manger
Pret A Manger
I wish I knew about these Hot Wraps before because they were friggin delicious.
There is a narrow heated cabinet with these hot wraps which is why I didn't really notice them before.

There are four flavours in Hong Kong:
Barbecue Pulled Pork Hot Wrap
Salmon Fish Cake Hot Wrap
Sweet Potato Falafel Hot Wrap
Pret's Meatball Hot Wrap
In UK they have:
BBQ Pulled Pork Hot Wrap
Swedish Meatball Hot Wrap
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sweet Potato Falafel Hot Wrap:
(Falafel, emmenthal, pepper, onion, chili tomato sauce)
These wraps are seriously hot when you take them from the tray.
After unwrapping it, the smell was gorgeous, it smelt of Tex Mex chili con carne.
The wrap was slightly crispy and chewy and the filling was deliciously hot with starchy beans and falafel.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Salmon Fish Cake Hot Wrap:
(salmon, potato mash, soya bean, emmenthal, red onions, honey mustard mayo)
This wrap was also impressive because there was delicious creamy mashed potatoes in the middle with stringy emmenthal cheese.
Along with that, there were chunks of flakey salmon.
Each bite was delicious because the tangy honey mustard sauce complemented the salmon and balanced the creamy mash perfectly.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Both of the wraps above are irrititingly delicious and addictive!

McDonald's: Rice Fun Wrap [PORK]
McDonald's
After a tasting, I was determined to try this because this is one of the designated places that serve the rice wrap with pork cutlet in it.
They have the Tonkotsu rice wrap or the pork cutlet with curry sauce and rice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tonkotsu rice wrap:
The taste of this was ok, but not as delicious as the chicken or beef version because the pork was a bit dry.
The pork tasted nice with the cucumbers, lettuce and mayonnaise.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
For the designated branches, please phone McDonalds who forgot to call me back after I left my number so you may have to call twice.

Come for Curry if you're in a hurry
Curries Inc (Causeway Bay)
Thanks to Little Burro for being closed or I would not have come to this shop for delicious curry.
It is a neat little curry joint serving ready to go International curries and fishballs.
There is a bar table at the side for people to dine which it is slightly uncomfortable because the table is too high.
They also sell spices and a few selection of drinks.
They have a Pakistani brand of drinks called Shezan with Lychee or Lemon Barley.
They have EIGHT different curries on the menu.
1) Beef brisket curry (yellow curry with beef brisket, potato & onion, a HK favorite $48)
2) beef massaman curry (massaman curry with beef, cinnamon stick, coconut milk, onion, peanut, potato & tamarind $53)
3) beef red curry (red curry with beef, eggplant, pea, cauliflower, pineapple, baby corn, mushroom & coconut milk $54)
4) Chicken korma (northern Indian curry with chicken, ground almond, saffron & yoghurt
$45)
5) chick pea vegetable curry (vegetarian yellow curry with chick pea, tomato, bell pepper & onion $40)
6) chicken malaysian curry (onion, kaffir line leaves, cinnamon stick, star anise & coconut milk $43)
7) chicken thai green curry (green curry with chicken, eggplant, pea, cauliflower, broccoli, coconut milk, coriander & mushroom $44)
8 curry in a hurry (cayenne pepper with chicken, onion, clove, golden raisin, tomato, chopped fresh cilantro & yoghurt $44)
If they had chicken korma, that would have been my first choice but that day they had beef brisket, red curry, thai chicken curry and beef massaman so I ordered the beef massaman.
I felt that they should offer small samples of the curry sauce so that people can try and see which curry is the best and avoid the ones that are too spicy for them because if it is not your cup of tea, then your stuffed and I doubt that it would be a good review too.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beef massaman:
To be honest, this was my breakfast so as a breakfast it tasted really nice, but for lunch or dinner, I would have probably liked the taste to be stronger.
The curry was lovely and sweet, and it was not even spicy which was nice and gentle for an empty stomach.
The beef was amazingly soft and tender and there were so many pieces in this bowl.
The peanuts in the curry were soft and nutty and the curry sauce went well with their fluffy rice which was quite a big bowl too.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Lemon barley:
For $9 it was really cheap, but unfortunately it was too sweet.
It would probably taste nice if it was diluted.

Back for more delicious nougat
ABC Bakery (Central)
Thanks to Mjqueen7e or I would not have known about these gorgeous nougats.
I was nearby so got a box.
They also had these cute swan choux puffs which I did not try them.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Nougats:
The nougats were so nice and addictive that I could not stop eating them.
The sweetness was just right and it tastes like a satisfying SNICKERs bar without the chocolate and caramel.
Each nougat is wrapped in edible rice paper and crammed with tons of peanuts.

Vieil homme chinois aime le poulet rΓ΄ti
La Rotisserie (Wan Chai)
Just as much as I love Roast chicken! I discovered that OLD Chinese men love it too!
When I was at the Sai ying pun branch of La Rotisserie, an old man got his roast chicken.
At the new branch in Wan Chai, there was another old man getting roast Chicken.
The layout of the Wan Chai and Sai Ying Pun branch are pretty much the same, selling pates, candies but there is a bar table at the Wan Chai branch.
I went there during the first few days it opened because they were doing a lunch deal for $50.
It was so crowded on the first day that I gave up getting some chicken.
I sneaked out earlier on the second day before the crowd and got my chicken fast.
As well as that, I tried the croque poulet and forgot to take a photo of the actual thing.
The knife and fork they give you is decent and rigid so you can eat your chicken properly.
I went to this other roast chicken place and they gave me weak plastic cutlery which snapped half way through (GREAT!).
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Roast chicken and potatoes:
Delicious juicy chicken with rosemary herbs.
Tried the the thigh part and the white meat which were great and fully flavoured right through.
There was lots of chicken juice in the box too which tasted great with the potatoes.
The potatoes were soft on the inside with a delicious chewy skin.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Croque poulet:
The croque poulet is basically the same as the croque monsieur but it has chicken in it which is why it is called poulet.
It was a bit too buttery and the chicken sauce was a bit too creamy but the onions in it balanced it out nicely.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
On my next visit, I will get my favourite quiches and lemon tarts.
