Pulled pork burger by Gabriel Choy - McDonald's

Earlier McDonald's launched the pulled chicken burger which I would classify as British/Indian because of the Tandoori sauce used.
Following the pulled chicken, Gabriel Choy's pulled pork burger made more sense because he used BBQ sauce and purple cabbage slaw.
Comparing to Switzerland's pulled pork burger, Hong Kong has cheese and Switzerland has apple in it.













To be honest, it is weird there is cheese because I don't see Americans putting cheese into their pulled burgers and the bacon is optional as well.
The huge slices of tomato were a bit strange too.



Anyway, it tasted better than the pulled chicken and the barbecue sauce did the trick in other words it was a NORMAL pulled pork.

The bacon made it tastier in terms of salty and smokiness.



Thick cut fries next to normal fries.

Out of this world burger

Tai Kok Tsui is remotely located which is why it was not my priority list to go.
Finally went on a quiet afternoon so that I could sit there and eat.
It is a cute green joint.
It was really hard deciding which burgers to get because all of them were good.
They had Chinese burgers with Chinese toppings, Stylish burgers which are inspired by different countries and soy sauce burgers that I have to try next time.
The toppings were really good because they had blue cheese as well.
I ordered the Singapore Hainan chicken riceburger and the Tandoori masala chicken burger.
While I was waiting for the burgers, I had a cup of Chinese tea.The Hainan chicken burger was just amazing because I love rice and the rice patty on top was firm which went well with the juicy chicken and the bottom rice patty was more flavourful because it was covered in Hainan chicken gravy.The Tandoori masala chicken burger didn't taste Indian at all because there was a strong cajun and oregano taste but it still tasted great.
It was impressive they dressed it with yoghurt sauce because Indian dishes are normally paired with yoghurt.
The chicken was juicy with a nice crispy Cajun coating.

The tandoori burger is a great concept and I think having tandoori chicken filling with yoghurt sauce would also taste good (similar to an English coronation chicken sandwich).

Unfortunately, I have to return to Taikoktsui again for more yummy burgers because they are that good.

Superb SUPPER buffet at JW Marriot Hotel The Lounge Hong Kong

The food at JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong is flawless every time I go and all those awards they got are well deserved.



I have been to the brunch three times, dinner buffet once and twice to the supper buffet.




Currently, it costs $368 per person from 8-11pm Thursday - Saturday.
During the 9th-22nd of May, it will cost around $4xx because they will have some extra seafood dishes like:
typhoon shelter crab, sauteed clams in black bean sauce, spicy whelk in wine, oyster fritters with white pepper and cilantro, cuttlefish cake with salt and spices, scallops and broccoli topped with crab roe sauce, congee in lobster superior broth.

It was definitely worth going twice because all my favourite luxuries were there such as abalone, cheese, sashimi, Peking duck, Hainan chicken with rice, soba noodles.




Dessert section:




Here was the food that I had:

The African chicken was nicely done and spicy like how it should be.



Fresh sashimi and my favourite chilled soba.



Delicious congee from the live cooking station where you can choose your ingredients and put as much as you want.





Peking duck pancake:



Springy prawn dumplings:



At the carvery counter, the vegetable selection was quite impressive because they had baked potato and purple potato.



cheese glorious cheese

They had edam, brie, cheddar but the cheese selection is different everyday.

Last but not least, the abalone was amazing, it has taste and texture unlike other places where they are rubbery and tasteless as the sauce is made from roast meats and Chinese wine.




To finish the dessert was also good but unfortunately I was too full but still ate two pieces of apple crumble because it was just divine.
The apple crumble has just the right level of sweetness, a good balance of apples to pastry and crumble.
First piece:




Second piece with lots of creamy vanilla sauce~!~





I WILL BE BACK SOON~
