Sichuan chicken (hau sui gae) @ 嚐點

Tried the sichuan chicken (hau sui gae) which I do not know the English name for but I cant make up a name for it because it will sound ridiculous because it would be called saliva chicken!!

The display they have on the table does not look good but I decided to try it anyway.

The chicken comes with brown rice which I find quite heavy because the sauce for the chicken is quite heavy.

As usual the portion of rice is big!!
The picture shows a chicken leg, but I have tried both the chicken leg and breast, however the chicken is really tough in both cases, so the chicken must be old or it is a free-range chicken.
If the chicken could be slightly more tender and served with plain rice it would have been perfect because the sauce was delicious.

There was lots of sichuan peppercorns in the sauce which gives you the same tingling sensation mint does.
As well as that there was lots of spring onions, crushed peanuts and beanshoots.
The sauce was really rich because there was lots of sesame paste sauce which was really sweet and it balanced the spicyness of the sichuan peppercorns.

Quesadilla with Chicken @ KFC

I have always wanted to try the Quesadilla with chicken but it was only offered during breakfast and tea times.

Luckily they now offer it a la carte.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
They had self-service hot water, which was really good because it will not hold up queues for people who just want some water.
The only disadvantage is that non-paying patrons could pretend they have bought a drink there and take up the tables.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Quesadilla with chicken:
The Quesadilla was really small, it was a half a Quesadilla filled with melted cheese, diced onions, green peppers, spring onions and chicken.
I loved the chicken in cheese sauce and the diced onions were really nice too because they were crispy and there were other things such as green peppers and spring onions that made it taste nice.
I wished this was permanently on the menu.

Chicken McGrill burger and tomato shake shake fries

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Chicken McGrill Burger:
This is basically the same as McD's other grilled chicken burgers except the bun used this time is a sour bun and the mayonnaise used has lots of grounded black pepper in it.
The sour bun did not have a prominent taste nor did the coral lettuce enhance enhance the taste of the burger, but it was visually nice to see a different type of lettuce served in the burger.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Zesty Tomato Shake Shake seasoning:
The taste of this seasoning was exactly the same as the seasoning that was used in KFC's potato party.
The taste was really fake, a mix between paprika and carotene.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Stingy portion this time! @ Lo Pak Restaurant

The duck here is not bad but as you can see I only got about three to four tiny pieces.

As well as the duck, I tried marinated tofu with rice (No Photo) which is quite nice.
The tofu is well marinated from outside to the centre and it is fully flavoured in the middle as well.
