Taro McFlurry

I was really looking forward to the new Taro McFlurry so got it as soon as it was launched.



Basically it is McDonald's softserve, oreo cookies and taro syrup mixed together.
I had mine without oreo cookies because I don't like them.

Taro McFlurry:




The McFlurry had a nice taro syrup fragrance but unfortunately it was too sweet because the softserve is already sweet and the taro syrup made it even more sweet.

Battered oysters at Hooked

Hooked (Mid-Levels)

Came here again and was glad to see some changes!!!!!!

PICKLED EGGS ARE NOW SOLD HERE!!!



FINALLY, THERE ARE CHIP FORKS FOR PEOPLE TO USE!!!!

This time had the oysters, 3 for $40.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Oysters:

The oysters were huge and they were about the size of big chicken wings.
I was surprised that they did not shrink after being fried.
Anyway, the batter was golden and thin while the oyster was creamy and juicy.




The oysters were just amazing and the salt enhanced the taste effortlessly.

Sweetcorn option at Sun King Yuen Curry Restaurant

Sun King Yuen Curry Restaurant (Wan Chai)

In general, takeouts are half the price, and the choices are either curry, tomato, or sweetcorn, with a choice of fried pork cutlet, fried chicken, or fried fish fillet.
Basically the chicken, pork, fish fillets are crunchy, so it will go well with any of the options.
The only items that is not available for takeout is the stir fried beef noodles.

Since I have tried tomato and curry, I got the sweetcorn sauce with chicken.

Chicken and sweetcorn sauce:

I was expecting more sweetcorn in the sauce.



Anyway, the sauce tasted like a mix of sweetcorn brine and corn flour which made the sauce thick.
The chicken came in big chunks but it was still juicy however the rice was a bit hard.

Cheese and Ham croissant at McCafe

Came here for a quick croissant because the queue at Simplylife was long.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cheese and ham croissant:





The croissant was reheated before it was served but the middle was still cold.
As for the taste I was disappointed with the ham because it was hard and plastic, while the cheese was just American processed cheese.

Surprised by the presenation of the rice

Chee Kei (Central)

Came here because Jolibee was closed

For dinner, there are just sets so I decided to order the pork with rice but it came with chicken wings/dessert/soup which I did not want.
Luckily I asked if I could order it a la carte without that crap and she suggested the tea set which was highly appreciated.




It was just the usual stuff, but I didn't like the vegetable rice with salted meat because it had pieces of fatty pork in it.
The pork was nice and the bones were gelatinous and soft but the sauce was too oily.

Marks and Spencer's Sour cream and chili lentil curls

Sour cream and chili lentil curls:

I got these curls because they reminded me of quavers but the texture was slightly crispier.
It had a really strong chili kick to it and I loved the tones of sourcream.

Pandamania

I am not a fan of pandas but tried their curry because the presentation was quite creative.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Curry chicken:

Decapitated panda head!!


To start off the curry was a little too salty and there were only three pieces of thinly sliced chicken.
As for the star of the show, the rice was too hard because it got dehydrated in the fridge or when it was heated in the microwave, you could see that the edges of the rice have gone translucent so the texture of the rice was really hard and sharp that I cold not really eat it.
Anyway, the portion size was small so I was still quite hungry and regretted not ordered the soba noodles as well.

taro pudding:

The taro pudding was nice because it was creamy with a mild taro taste, the only thing that let it down was that it was too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Watermelon jelly:

It is clever how they scooped out the flesh and poured watermelon jelly in it mixed with sesame seeds to make it look like a real melon when it is sliced.
As I don't like watermelon, I did not order it, but Loving Hut had an orange jelly ages ago in 2009.
