Fish & Chips any day at Fish & Chick

Glad to see Fish and Chick have more offerings on the menu.
Prior to this visit, I have been here two times.

First time for the fish and chips:

The fish choices are getting better and they even have haddock which is commonly served in the UK and they have lunch sets that have the signature chicken and fish and chips which were not available during my earlier visits.

That night we had other items as well as the signature dishes.
Here was what we had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆


I don't normally drink alcohol but this one was pretty so I tried some and the strawberry taste was stronger than the cider so I ended up drinking half a glass.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Crab croquettes:

As you can see, it is almost 90% crab so it had a soft texture with a lovely crab taste.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Fried mushroom salad:


The mushrooms were good, they were juicy and earthy mushrooms in a light crispy coating.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Fried prawns:

To be honest, they tasted like prawn cutlets covered in simple breadcrumbs served in Chinese takeaways in the UK.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Panfried seabream with ratatouille:

The panfried fish selection is a great option for locals who fear fried food!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Salted cod and egg brandade:

I liked this dish because it was silky mashed salted cod that was not too salty topped with a cute quail egg!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Hake fish and chips:

The fish was nice and flakey and the batter was light.

The meal wouldn't be complete if we didn't order extra mushy peas because the mushy peas were delicious.
Not quite the hand cut chips but once you have vinegar and mushy peas with it, the type of chips won't matter.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Roast chicken:

The chicken smelt nice and the chicken was tender rubbed with lots of herbs.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Lemon and poppy seed

The cake was served warm, so there was this lovely cake aroma with lemon and the poppy seeds which gave it a nice crisp texture when you ate it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Panna cotta:

The panna cotta was silky and creamy with a slight white chocolate taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Definitely coming back for other fishes such as haddock with mushy peas and VINEGAR!

McDonald’s new pineapple pie

Tried the new pineapple pie because I haven’t tried it before.

To my knowledge the pies that have been launched before in HK are red bean and taro.
Hopefully they will launch peach as well because that would taste quite nice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
pineapple pie:

The pineapple pie filling is the same as the apple in terms of consistency and viscosity.
It has the same sort of sweetness as the apple but it has small chunks of pineapple instead and the pineapple taste is not that strong.

Rainbow palette

I don’t really venture into Hung Hom to eat because the location is really inconvenient unless there is something good that I want to eat and it better be worth it!!

Anyway, Hotel Sav is funky new hotel that shines on the corner.
It is definitely the hotel for me because I love anything that is colourful.
Each floor of the hotel has a different colour scheme.


The restaurant is called Palatte and there is a different cocktail each day.

There was an impressive buffet selections which satisfies the basic requirements of locals namely oysters and lobsters.



For me cheese and good breads are a must.



My favourites were the hydroponics salads.


There was made to order pasta where you can choose the sauces and ingredients.




The tandoori chicken was delicious because it tasty but not spicy and the chicken was springy and tender.

There was more meat options at the carvery too!

To finish off, there were so many desserts but the Korean icecream is a must try!!

Second visit at 川味皇

This time I requested for the non spicy broth and it was quite nice because the broth just tastes sour.
I also paid extra for the stewed beef but it wasn't that good because it was the odds and ends that were fat and stringy.
Without the spiciness, it lacks that flare so next time I will have the spicy basic noodle.

Back for more artsy fartsy desserts at ATUM desserant

After dining at Skewed, we came here for dessert.
It was around 9pm and it was quite full already but luckily the sofa seats were available so we sat there.

Tried the Stone and Bamboo charcoal
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
STONE:
raspberry sand, blood orange, white chocolate mousse

Basically this was shaped like a stone and it looks like a big pebble from the beaches.
Inside there was raspberry sauce surrounded by white chocolate mousse.

I found this dessert a bit too heavy but the one below was much nicer.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
BAMBOO CHARCOAL:
raspberry sorbet, chocolate ice marshmallows, bamboo charcoal icecream.

This dessert was really good because the raspberry sorbet was really refreshing and the icecream had this interesting fine gritty texture because of the charcoal bits.

Jaspas could be better

Unfortunately had to go to Sai Kung so went here for a quick bite.
I regretted not going to Mandy's or having fish and chips or the burger place nearby.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Turkish toasted Ham and cheese sandwich:

The ham was a bit dry and they used processed cheese which is it not proper cheese.

Easter hot cross bun series ( Marks and spencers )

Easter cannot be complete without Easter eggs and hot cross buns.
At Marks and Spencers, there were so many fun Hot cross bun flavours as well as the traditional ones made with sultanas and orange peel.
I got the berries and cherries, chocolate, fudge and caramel and the Bramley Kent apple which all did not contain orange peel.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
berries and cherries:

The berries one tasted like Christmas pudding tea.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
chocolate, fudge and toffee:

The chocolate and toffee was the best and surprisingly it was not the sweetest with a strong taste of creamy fudge and toffee.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Kentish Bramley apple hot cross buns:

The Kentish apple was nice with bits of apple in it but I found it too sweet out of the three.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
As you can imagine, they were sticky buns hence I haven't taken any photographs.
I love these new flavours because they don't contain orange peel!
