SoSim! an awesome sim deal

Recently found out this awesome sim deal but the frustrating thing was that there was no English to promote it.
As I was going to buy it, hence I am writing this post to remind myself of what the SoSim deal involves.
It is a phone data sim card offered by park n shop with the three network.
The only English info I could find was directly from the three site.
https://web.three.com.hk/prepaid/sosim/index-en.html


Defaulted Package includes:
$33 Infinity data usage 50GB local data (valid for 30 days)
Activation Bonus (valid for 120 days)
50GB social media data
night fever Unlimited data package (23:00-07:00)
10,000 local call minutes

After the 30 days, you can top up the card but if the terms are too confusing to understand, you can just buy another card for HKD33.

[Review] Nandos Limited Edition Peri Peri Gravy

Although I like Nando's, I only go there for new stuff so this time I went there for the limited edition peri peri gravy.
Unfortunately, it wasn't memorable but it was nice dipping the chip in the gravy.
Mixing Nando's famous sauces with the gravy made it extremely tasty.

Nando's The great imitator review! Plant based chicken free wrap

A while ago KFC had the imposter.
Now Nando's has launched The Great Imitator as a burger, pitta or wrap dressed with their new plant-based Vegan PERinaise.
The Great Imitator is made completely from pea protein.

It was really difficult deciding between the Pitta or the Wrap but I decided to get the wrap and Nando's were really helpful and let me have the chili jam on the side because I wasn't sure if it was going to be sweet.



I got the takeaway, so the wrap came in a Tortilla Wrap Sleeve.
Obviously it won't be piping hot but it was still good.



Taking the first bite I got more of the wrap than the filling so I sliced the wrap in the middle and ate from the centre.



There is supposed to be four pieces of the imitator chicken by their books in the burger, wraps and the pita.
For the pita, I found it tastier if you separate two pieces per half wrap to get an even distribution when you eat it.
I was really impressed with the texture and taste of the imitator because it was like eating the roast chicken with some crisp chicken skin on it.
It was also like eating the springy meat off a moist chicken wing so it was certainly a treat and very different to Quorn roasted chicken fillets which taste more like white meat.
Overall, the only thing I personally didn't like was the PERInaise which was a bit sweet although sweet the chili jam fared better because you could taste some tomatoes in it.
Although my first experience was good, I think I am going to try it again without the default sauces and have it with Nando's signature sauces because nothing beats the taste of these sauces.
To summarize, I would definitely recommended this to anyone who is curious and they won't be disappointed.
Now that I have talked about the food, I'll move on to the service.
As I was getting the takeaway, the guy was really patient in explaining the best choice for the vegan, it was extremely helpful that he mentioned that the sauce could be served on the side.
He also offered if I wanted any of the sauce sachets which I did want.
Upon collection, I was lucky I checked the bag because the sauce sachets were not there so I was able to get them.
But had it not been for the guy I would have not known about these sauces which really made everything taste as good as if you were dining there because Nandos sauces are always the star as well as the chicken.

The only thing that I wish was included was some cutlery and napkins.
It would great if they had some chairs outside for people sit while waiting since you are not allowed to wait inside.

Omnipork luncheon (vegan plant based spam) McDonalds review in Hong Kong 麥當勞x Green Monday 厚切OmniPork Luncheon新餐肉系列

Rise and shine to a good morning with a milestone breakthrough for Green Monday and McDonalds Hong Kong!

We shall be seeing Omnipork luncheon (vegan spam) for breakfast and other toast treats at McCafe.

Omnipork breakfasts at McDonalds
Prices: a la carte / meal
Omnipork luncheon and scrambled egg burger $20.5/$33
Omnipork luncheon and egg twisty pasta $25.5/$36
Omnipork luncheon deluxe breakfast $25.5/$34.5
Omnipork luncheon jumbo breakfast $29.5/38.5
麥當勞:首度聯乘Green Monday 推出厚切OmniPork Luncheon新餐肉系列

I was really lucky to get one that was rosy pink and not too burnt like other people have posted.
The texture and taste of the new luncheon is very similar to the beyond burger but it has more smokiness and saltiness like luncheon.

OmniPork is also available at nine UK restaurants for Veganuary 2021.
They will be available at Longdan supermarkets from Feb 2021.

Definitely looking forward to see how UK will take on OmniPork and how it can be portrayed in English dishes.

The dish that I would most like to see is an Omnipork scotch egg which no one did in Hong Kong but then they were concentrating on Chinese dishes which makes sense, so go on England!

Mayo chicken burger (savers menu) from McDonalds - The Poppy

Overall a memorable branch of McDonald's.
Inside, it is the typical layout and there is a kids area.
Outside, the building was nice.
Had a nice stay there with tea and chicken mayo sandwich which was nice and crispy.
The UK version of the chicken mayo is much nicer because the chicken patty has a crispy light breadcrumb coating and the patty is thinner.
