Walked past and noticed that they were serving thick cut fries.
When I went in I realised these thick cut fries have replaced the thin cut fries served before.

It is quite interesting for a well established fast food chain to change their fries, I wonder if it is a global change as well.

Anyway I decided to try them.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Thick cut fries:
Although they are marketed as thick cut, they were not that thick, they were about 7-9 mm in diameter.
The thin fries before were probably around 6-7 mm in diameter.
Since they were slightly thicker than the fries before, it made the fries more substantial, the inside was soft with a slight crispy exterior.

As they were thicker, not much salt remained on the surface of the fries so they were not that salty and I felt that more ketchup was needed to makeup for the taste.
The fries before were tastier but these are also good too because they have a lovely soft center.

Perhap they need an extra pinch of salt.

[Review 1611] Caesar Parmesan Chicken Tendergrill @ Burger King

I like Caesar salad so tried the Caesar Parmesan chicken tendergrill burger which is part of the King's Collection.
Caesar salad is usually romaine lettuce and croutons dressed with parmesan cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and black pepper. Others may contain bacon bits such as the caesar salads served at Fat Angelos.
The burger could have been more Caesarized! It was just a panini herb bun, grilled chicken, tomato slices, shaved parmesan, rocket lettuce, caesar sauce and crispy bacon strips.
The whole combination was more like a BLT burger!
I felt that it should have romaine lettuce since it is mimicking Caesar and instead of crispy bacon strips they should have sprinkled bacons bits in the burger.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Caesar Parmesan chicken tendergrill
The Caesar dressing was too light and tasteless. The most I could taste from it was some sweetness.
As for the parmesan cheese, there were about three pieces which was also barely tasteable!
Overall in the picture it shows the tomato and being the most dominant.
If I have it again I hope there will be more

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tempura whopper:
My second time having this burger and the tempura still tastes great.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Black truffle angus:
The black truffle angus was quite nice but the black truffle mayonnaise was too creamy and the black truffle taste was not strong enough to balance out the creamy taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Orange juice:
Although it was labelled as Orange juice it tasted like orange concentrate with sweet syrup to make it sweet.

[Review 1563] Apple pie and afternoon tea set @ Burger King 漢堡王

Had one of the tea sets and regretted not getting the croissant as well as I don't know when I can next try the tea set.
There were three sets to choose from: BBQ Chicken Tender Burger, cheese and ham croissant and the fish burger.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
BBQ Chicken Tender Burger:
This burger was sandwiched with three chicken tender strips with mayonnaise and barbecue sauce.
Since it was three pieces of chicken instead of a whole piece there was more proportion of flavoured coating and crunch to it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Apple pie:
When I got the apple pie it was so oily you could see the oil on the packaging and the edges.
Anyway the pie pastry was too thick and the apple filling was very artificial.
Since it was too hot, I let it cool down to take another bite but when it had cooled down you could smell the fying oil in the pastry.

When I saw the poster for this, it just reminded me of Freshness burger and MOS because the tempura was so Japanese.

Anyway there are three options: Tempura Whopper, Tempura Whopper Junior and Veggie Tempura whopper.

Tried the Tempura Whopper Junior and the Veggie Tempura whopper but since I do not like beef the Veggie Tempura Whopper tastes better.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Veggie Tempura whopper
This is same as the beef tempura whopper except that there is no beef and there is a slice of processed cheese in it.
I ate the tomato first because I do not like tomatoes in my burgers.
Anyway, it was really good because they put endive lettuce and not the usual iceburg lettuce.
The endive lettuce is not as juicy as the iceburg lettuce so the tempura can still be tasted and the sauce that was put in the burger matched it well because it was not too sweet.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Tempura Whopper Junior
As the taste of the beef was quite strong, the taste of the tempura couldn't be tasted so it was just like eating their usual burgers with some crunch in it.

[Review 1466] Cute BK Burger shots and mini ice-cream! @ 漢堡王 Burger King

Saw the poster of the mini burgers at Burger King so decided to try them.
The design of the poster was really good, the makeup artist gave the model a futuristic cyber look with metallic patterned eyebrows, colourful eyeshadow, metallic nails and metallic edges on the ears.

There were two flavours: beef or pork sausage and there are two burgers per order.
One is paired with crispy onions and the other is paired with grilled onions.

The two mini burgers were wrapped together looking like a long bun wrapped up if you did not know what was inside.

The concept of these mini burgers were really good, but the burger patty itself was not a mini patty which would have made it cute.
The patty was the usual patty sliced in half, same with the cheese!!

The bun was just the local Hong Kong sweet buns and not imported, the burgers tasted like the food from the Chinese cafes.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beef/Pork with deep fried onions
For the fried onion version, the beef tasted better.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beef/Pork with grilled onions
For this one I preferred the pork sausage because the onions were thinly sliced.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mini icecream
I don't usually order their soft serve, but it was included in the set, and I was surprised it tasted quite nice, the vanilla taste was strong and not as milky as McDs.

Tried the new herb panini series, there was a choice of grilled chicken with teriyaki sauce or the tender crisp chicken with honey and mustard.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Honey mustard tender crisp chicken in herb Panini:
The panini was huge but the panini bread was too dry, the honey mustard sauce and tender crisp were nice together.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
New York Angus burger with bacon:
The Angus burger looked huge on the poster, however it was tiny and was quite expensive.

It is not often that I get a chance to have breakfast so I was greedy and ordered the set with an extra croissant and french toast.
There was so much choice!!

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
King's platter
The platter consists of round hash brown nuggets, tomato, cheese and ham omelette and a scone.
The hash brown nuggets were crispy with a slight soft centre. The tomato was grilled lightly so it just tasted like a raw tomato! As for the cheese and ham omelette, it had melted processed cheddar cheese in the middle with pieces of ham. The cheese was quite salty.
As for the scone it was quite dry.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Croissant with fish fillet and cheese
The croissant was not soft enough and it tasted like the cheap croissants with leathery skin.
The fish fillet was ok but the processed cheese in this croissant was also very salty.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
French toast
The French toast did not have extra syrup to spread, but it was coated on the French toast making it sticky to handle.
The egg was coated very slightly on the bread hence the egg taste was not so strong.

[Review 1331] Halloween limited edition Sausage nacho burger @ 漢堡王 Burger King

Luckily I walked past during Halloween because they had the special edition Nacho burger for $9.9 including a soft drink.
I was going to try the new Nacho burger series anyway because of the Jalapeno sauce.

The Nacho burger series features chicken or beef but for Halloween it was sausage patty instead.
Beef is out, Pork is in !!
The only difference is that the Halloween version does not contain sliced tomatoes.
I felt that the sausage version was the best combination because there was herbs and spices in the patty.

The sausage patty was moist, softer and not as oily as McD’s.
It reminded me of sandwiches with crisps inside.
The nacho burger is similar to the crispy onion burger BK served a while ago but the Nacho had more crunch and texture to the burger.

However the Jalapeno sauce was slightly disappointing because it was not tangy or spicy, it just tasted like BBQ sauce

The drink that came with it was flat as usual.

I have never tried the pork burgers at BK apart from breakfast, so decided to try the new flame grilled pork sausage burgers at BK.

There were three in that series:
Flame grilled pork sausage burger with onion rings
Flame grilled pork sausage with crispy onion pieces
Flame grilled pork sausage with fried egg.

I tried the pork sausage burger with crispy onion and the pork sausage burger with fried egg.

◎ⓢⓤⓟⓔⓡⓢⓤⓟⓔⓡⓖⓘⓡⓛ◎ⓢⓤⓟⓔⓡⓢⓤⓟⓔⓡⓖⓘⓡⓛ◎
Pork sausage burger with crispy onion pieces
I expected this one to taste nice and I really liked it because they put BBQ sauce in it, and the crispy onion pieces gave it some crunch and flavour.
The BBQ sauce was great with the pork sausage.

◎ⓢⓤⓟⓔⓡⓢⓤⓟⓔⓡⓖⓘⓡⓛ◎ⓢⓤⓟⓔⓡⓢⓤⓟⓔⓡⓖⓘⓡⓛ◎
Pork sausage burger with fried egg
This was also nice because it had mayonnaise and cheese.

◎ⓢⓤⓟⓔⓡⓢⓤⓟⓔⓡⓖⓘⓡⓛ◎ⓢⓤⓟⓔⓡⓢⓤⓟⓔⓡⓖⓘⓡⓛ◎

For both burgers, I did not like the bun because it had sesame seeds and the bun itself was hard.
The pork patty is slightly drier and firmer than McDonalds one.
There are less fatty bits in the BK one.
Overall the pork sausage burger with crispy onions was the best in my opinion.
