Pretty pink palmiers
2020-02-28  11 瀏覽
A while ago my friend got me some palmiers from Kee Wah Bakery which were pretty and pink.
It is difficult to see from the photo but they were rosy pink
Each one was delicate and crispy with a buttery aroma complimented by the sugar coating.
She ago got me some Taiwanese pineapple cakes.
My favourite had to be the egg yolk.

There was literally half an egg yolk inside which was evilicious with the buttery shortcrust pastry.

The mackerel was not fishy but i wish there was more filling inside.
It was nice but the pepper oil didn't give it the spicy kick I was looking for so overall the taste was just sweet.

Duddell's is a famous restaurant that opened a few years ago but I still hadn't tried it.
There is a new branch at the airport which happened to be on my path.

As they were serving omnipork dumplings I decided to try them.

The crispy mochi pastry on the outside was actually quite nice and reminded me of dimsum in London but they were slightly oily.
The big disappointment was the filling, I had all three and there were no signs of omnipork in them at all.

Apart from Pacific Coffee, it is good that there is Subway and KFC.
To be honest the KFC at AWE is the best as the recipe is different.
Anyway, there is a sitting area at subway which it is located on the first floor.

It is called Subway Express which is slightly different to the other branches.
In terms of price it is slightly more expensive HKD60 per sub!
Anyway got the veggie delight which cost HKD60.
It was to my liking as you choose the bread, fillings etc to your liking.
The bread was soft and fluffy and the vegetables were fresh.
For sauces, I just had the mayonnaise which was enough to give it flavour.

Pacific Coffee is everywhere but the branches at Asia Expo branches have a good range for sandwiches.They had at least 2 -3 items on the vegetarian range.

I was surprised they had pickle, cheese and ham which is basically the ploughman.

It was definitely satisfying having a ham, cheese and pickle sandwich.
The pickle was tangy and sweet but I can't confirm if it was the Branstons brand but it all tasted good, however the cheese seemed like processed cheese which makes it not as good as Pret.
Will check out the other sandwiches on my next visit.

[Review 7252] The only KFC in HK with the Original recipe @ 肯德基家鄉雞 (KFC) Kentucky Fried Chicken

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/the-only-kfc-in-hk-with-the-original-recipe-e3326184

I rarely eat KFC in Hong Kong unless it is something new or exciting because the chicken coating is definitely not the original recipe and the way it is cooked is different.
You will find that KFC chicken in Hong Kong is crunchy and the coating is thick compared to countries like UK etc.
HONG KONG KFC STRANGELY DOES NOT SERVE FRIES OR CHICKEN GRAVY.
THE MUSHROOM RICE, MASHED POTATO AND CHICKEN A LA KING CONTAINS  BLACK PEPPER whereas the English version does not.
Luckily I came across some photos of the chicken at this particular branch and it was the fried chicken that I was looking, the comments were not good but then it was coming from a local.
Prices were certainly different but paying HKD45 for two EDIBLE pieces of chicken was damn worth it.
FRIES WERE SERVED AT THIS BRANCH!!!!
Perhaps being located at AsiaWorldExpo with lots of expats it is was not wise to localize the fried chicken!!!
I was definitely satisfied with the chicken especially the coating which was thinner and tasted the same as UK.
The coating was soft and crispy and the chicken was moist in the middle despite that it was sitting in the heated cabinet for while.
The best thing is that there is no queue here

The best puff sticks
2017-08-07  500 瀏覽
This branch of KeeWah is very memorable because it is inside the HK airport departure zone.
As I was heading to the the food court, I saw Eric Tsang (曾志偉) with some females coming out of KEE WAH with a big grin on his face!
Anyway, I got these puff sticks which are all damn delicious.
There are four flavours: Cheese, Chinese Ham, Pumpkin and sesame seed and the Garlic spices.
To summarize, they all have this light crispy flaky texture and the buttery taste is not too overwhelming but the toppings are amazing.
The best flavour is the cheese because it is really cheesy, the next best is the ham because it is nice and savoury.
The garlic spices was good too but I found it quite spicy while the pumpkin seeds surprised me because I thought it was going to be bland but it wasn't.

I have always wanted to try popeyes but it is located in the departure lounge so unless you're flying you can't eat there.
The menu prices were really expensive and does not offer all the choices that you can get in the US.
Got the chicken wings, prawns, red beans with rice, cajun fries and coleslaw and they all turned out pretty salty.
Luckily, there is a new Southern do in Central called The Parish!


When I go to the US, I will definitely try the Popeyes there and compare it.

To eat list in the US branches:
cajun rice
jambalaya
pecan pie
hawaiian punch
po boys
cajun fish
blackened tenders

Had a quick farewell dinner here because relatives wanted some local food before flying back to UK.
We had noodles, fried beef flat rice noodles, wontons and prawn dumplings which were local classics.
The food was good as expected, springy prawn dumplings and wontons filled with fresh prawns.
The noodles were good according to my relatives because they just love this stuff.
Personally I liked the stir fried flat rice noodles because it had a lovely soy sauce taste with juicy slices of beef in it.
