The fries tasted quite nice because of the coarse salty bacons bits but the cheese sauce tasted more like burger sauce with cheese flavouring added to it.
In 2014, there was a similar thing by McDonalds with cheese sauce and bacon bits that you garnish yourself.
I was really blessed to have attended the Zongzi workshop at Kee Wah Bakery because fewer people are taking on this tradition in this generation.
Usually Zongzi's are made by grandmas and mothers using their traditional recipes.
After my experience, I can understand why it is easier to buy them because they are quite hard to make and the final part binding is quite difficult.
Just when I thought it was finished, the zongzis need to be cooked for at least four hours before everything inside is fully cooked.
We made the vegetarian zongzi and the sweet one.
I added extra pickles in my vegetarian one because I love those pickles!~!~
How the zongzi is made:
Step 1: choosing the leaves to wrap the zongzi:
Step 2: forming the shape to put the fillings
Step 3: Putting the fillings in:
Step 4: Binding it
Here were mine, after they were cooked for 4 HOURS~~~~~
Delicious~~
I rarely go to the Langham mall because it is just escalators and escalators. Luckily, Yum Cha is on the fourth floor so there are only two escalators that you need to get if you are coming from Portland road. Otherwise it is about 6 escalators if you come from the Langham MTR exit. Thankfully you don't have to take those doomed escalators but then again this is why I refuse to dine in commercial buildings because if there is a fire, you are dead and the staircases are probably clotted with stuff that you can't escape.
At this branch, there are four exclusive dishes!~ Spicy diced chicken in Sichuan style. Spicy Sichuan minced pork buns Spicy beef, noodles in spicy soup Beggar's chicken
++++++ Spicy diced chicken in Sichuan style: This was quite nice but a bit too salty. ++++++ Spicy Sichuan minced pork buns: These cute pink buns are filled with delicious juicy spicy minced pork in the middle. They definitely tasted good. ++++++ Spicy beef, noodles in spicy soup: This was too spicy for me. ++++++ Beggar's chicken:
This is a modern version with truffle gravy and I love the way it is wrapped in lotus leaf keeping it moist while making it fragrant. A brilliant Chinese style chicken if you are looking for a Western roast chicken comfort. ++++++
As a Brit, I was so happy to find out that you can now get over 200 Sainsbury's items at Market place by Jason, ThreeSixty, Jasons.Food & Living and selected Wellcome supermarkets.
It is about time because Tescos, Marks and Spencers, Waitrose and other brands can be found in Hong Kong.
To me, Sainsbury's is my local supermarket in UK, I go there for my groceries.
Went to the Hong Kong launch at Market Place by Jasons whisked away in a London cab.
There was a lighting ceremony followed by a tour of the products.
We got to try four recipes using Sainsbury's products designed by Chef Tom Burney.
My faves were the mackerel and red cabbage filo tart, cheeseboard bites, Wimbledon Sandwich and the Summer Cooler.
At the designated supermarkets (Market place by Jason, ThreeSixty, Jasons.Food & Living and selected Wellcome supermarkets) you will find highlighted Sainsbury's ranges:
by sainsbury's, Taste the difference, SO Organic and freeform.
It was exciting because I managed to find my comfort foods as well like curries, pies and pizza and most importantly a good selection of cheeses.
We were given a goody bag at the end of the event filled with goodies!!
