White Beard pies, fish and chips

Discovered this place randomly because I got the ferry from TST to Central.
On my way out discovered this joint.


Prices are quite reasonable so I will be back for more and try their pies.

Fish bites:

Chips were nice and crispy with fluffly centre and the batter had a nice golden coating with flakey fish inside.

MOS Burger's 8th Anniversary : Squid burger MOS Burger

MOS Burger's 8th Anniversary hence the new squid burger!!

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Squid burger:

The squid burger was really nice, on top of the patty there was sweetcorn mixed with eggy mayonnaise which was strangely viscous.

The patty was crisp on the outside and in the middle it was moist and slightly gelatinous with chopped up pieces of squid.


It tasted nice because the squid flavour was strong and there were hints of prawn too in the patty.

Hopefully, they will launch a crab burger someday!!

New Peruvian chicken joint : Healthy Chicken

11/10/2014
Healthy Chicken
中環威靈頓街87號群英商業大廈地下A2舖
Shop A2, G/F, Khuan Ying Commercial Building, 87 Wellington St., Central
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/new-peruvian-chicken-joint-in-central-e2397849

Ever since I found out about Healthy Chicken I have been meaning to go because I love chicken but it wasn’t open yet.
Walked past one day and they were doing a soft opening.
Just took some quick photographs because there was a group of people there probably thinking that this girl is weird taking photos or they must have thought that I could have been a competitor or something like that.
I liked the menu because you can get plain chicken, chicken with sides or chicken wraps.
For the chicken, you can get the breast (which is skinless), the whole leg or even chicken wings.
Not many roast chicken shops have chicken wings on their own because it comes attached to the breast.

I went for the plate which had chicken with all the sides they have on offer, but since they were soft opening there was no cheese, pinto beans or the full choice of sauces.

Basically you choose which part of the chicken you want and then you go to the sides counter and lastly you choose a sauce and pay for it.
Next time I will try the breast because it seems to be kept moist in some liquid.

My box of chicken being processed.
Three different rice flavours: brown, tomato and spinach.
Vegetables: tomato mix, grilled peppers and lettuce.

black beans


Ready to go after the sauce was put in.
(only two sauces that day because they were not officially open.)


The box is big with their logo stuck on it.
The price was $68 which was about right compared to La Rotisserie and Flame.


Salad:
Rice:
Chicken:
Tomatoes and mixed grilled peppers:
On the lid, it has the words Thank you on it.
Overall, I loved the rice especially the spinach and tomato flavoured one. The chicken was good but I think it would have been nicer if I ate it there.
Next time I will go for the breast instead of the chicken leg.

Hope to see more Peruvian items as this joint is listed as Peruvian.

Inconsistent broth at 一線軒雲南桂林過橋米線 (Quarry Bay)

On the first visit, the noodles were soft and nice, the broth was spicy and palatable.

On another visit, the spiciness level requested was the same as the other visit but tasted really different and the noodles were extremely elastic and hard that it would give a high elasicity if it were tested in the lab.
I really wonder why people like eating elastic noodles that probably don't digest.
As well as that the mushrooms were weird because they were sour.

The soy milk was too sweet and powdery.


The environment was cramped and extremely noisy.

Softserve with honeycomb at Honey Creme

When I first tried this, I found a really big contrast in taste because the topping was really sweet which made the softserve tasteless so this time I had the plain softserve with honeycomb.

It's quite strange and weird to eat honeycomb just like that because it is just wax but then it is the new craze in Hong Kong.



This time the softserve was much nicer because I could truly taste it, I loved it because it only had a touch of sweetness and you could taste the milkiness in the softserve.
I had the Honeycomb towards the end which made the softserve taste better but the waxy honeycomb was a bit weird for me so I left it.


Rancid ricerolls at 德苑 (Tai Koo)

There wasn't much choice to choose from, it was either rice, noodles or snacks.
The rice was overpriced at $5x so I didn't bother choosing it because the quality and price is definitely better elsewhere.
Then the noodles were even more pathetic because the menu didn't tell you the types of noodles they had to offer so unless your a Hongker you wouldn't know.
Lastly chose the panfried rice rolls and when they came, they stank, you could smell the oil which was going to make you puke, furthermore you were definitely going to puke when you ate them.
Recently, I learnt from Samurai that this oil is carciogenic so I left it and ordered something else.

enjoy Appolo's new range of icecreams

Appolo is the oldest branch of froyo in Hong Kong where you choose the fruit of your choice to be blended with the yoghurt.
You used to find Appolo located in old malls, but since most malls have been renovated, Appolo has also enhanced their brand with enjoy Appolo which is part of the Appolo Ice-cream Group.

enjoy Appolo makes ice cream cakes and rolls for selected Appolo retail stores in their new bakery located in Kwai Chung.

The shop decor of enjoy Appolo is girly with lots of pastel colours.

Their cakes and desserts reflect the girly theme too.





They still serve traditional froyo as well for people who just want froyo.

I got the hami-melon froyo because I really like their fruit blended froyos.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
hami-melon froyo:



As always, the froyo tasted natrual with blended bits of hami-melon which had a icy sweet and savoury taste mixed with the gently sweet yoghurt.
