McDonalds 麥當勞 29/10/2008

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/wasabi-fish-burger-e1946999
I tried the double decker wasabi fish burger, wasn't as nice as the one from Freshness burger, probably cos Mcdonald's fish tastes bland.
The lettuce pieces didn't really match the burger, same with the bun, because the original filet o fish is just fish, cheese, sauce and a soft bun.
It also made eating it very messy.
If u really wanna try, the single decker should be sufficient, as there is more cheese in proportion to the fish, giving it taste.
[Review 194] Laksa @ 蝦麵店 Prawn Noodle Shop
15/10/2008 蝦麵店 Prawn Noodle Shop

Shop 4, G/F, Rialto Building, No. 2 LanDale St, Wan Chai
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/laksa-e1946237
Basically after trying the prawn noodles, my next item to try here is the Laksa, not spicy at all, the soup is very strong in coconut flavour, but not as rich as the other places.
Noodle wise, I think only the "Mung" noodles can bring out the taste of the Prawn noodles and the laksa, because the ho fun and vermicelli itself over powers the soup here, since it isnt very strong.

[Review 193] Gaba Tea @ Happy Lemon

Haven't gone to Happy Lemon for ages, but since they had the new Gaba series I gave it a try.
Ordered the French fragrant grass tea, and coconut tea, the coconut basically tasted of strong coconut milk, and the French fragrant tea was the best, cool, silky with bits of wheat in it.

[Review 192] Chicken Wraps @ 肯德基家鄉雞 (KFC) Kentucky Fried Chicken

肯德基家鄉雞 (KFC) Kentucky Fried Chicken
灣仔莊士敦道112號雙喜樓地下4&5舖及1樓A&B舖
Shops 4 & 5 on G/F and Shops A & B on 1/F, Sheung Hei House, 112 Johnston Road, Wan Chai
Tried both flavours of the wraps, the chicken strip one, and the sausage one.
Chicken wrap fillings: piece of chicken, egg, mayonnaise, tomato, soft tortilla wrap.
Tasted OK
Sausage wrap fillings: sausage, egg, mayonnaise, shredded chicken floss
I didn’t really like this one, as the chicken floss tasted like pork floss, very sweet, which is weird with the egg and the rest.

[Review 191] Laksa vs Laksa @ 巴沙新加坡小品 Pasar Singaporean Flavour

巴沙新加坡小品 Pasar Singaporean Flavour
灣仔莊士敦道197號地下
G/F, 197 Johnston Road, Wan Chai
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/laksa-vs-laksa-e1944929
A pricey menu, but quality is close enough to Katong.
Information wise, I prefer Katong’s menu as its more informative and lists out all the ingredients, so for Pasar, if you’re an experienced eater or know your Singaporean food, then you would roughly know what ingredients are in it, eg seafood Laksa, the basics are big prawns, fish cakes etc.
Anyway for the Laksa supreme, for $68 everything is the same as Katong, except the mung noodles are thinner in diameter, and the soup base is not so spicy and strong. So for those who want to try a good Laksa, which is not so spicy can come here. There is less chilli oil in the soup base too.

[Review 190] Star Studded drink @ 鑽石餐廳 D.i.F. Cafe

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/star-studded-drink-e1944919
An expensively decorated restaurant, in the hustle bustle of ladies market, slightly too cold inside due to its air conditioning.
Anyway went in for afternoon tea and ordered the chicken Caesar salad with two drinks, vanilla milkshake, and strawberry green tea.
The salad took time for me to like it, initially I thought the sauce was salad cream, because it was sweet, then I began to like it, as the bacon bits and diced chicken went well together, the chicken tasted like cured ham giving the salad the saltiness taste.
Finally I really I liked the strawberry tea, it was frothy and foam like, then at the bottom it had star shaped jelly which gave it that extra special touch.smile

[Review 189] More than what I expected @ 越旺 (已結業) pho' 26
17/10/2008 越旺 (已結業) pho' 26
灣仔蘭杜街2號3號舖
Shop 3, 2 Landale Street, Wan Chai
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/more-than-what-i-expected-e1944048
Seeing lots of people queue outside this shop during lunch and even on saturday afternoons, it must be good.
Also the comments on openrice, are positive too, so I had very high expectations.
I didnt want to wait outside and be rushed to finish my food when I was seated, so I ordered a takeaway.
I ordered cambodian noodles in tomato sauce with beef tendons as a topping, which was ready to collect when I got there.
When I got back, I opened the bag and took the contents out, quite a pleasing start I thought, a tub of chopped chilli, a wedge of lime, the soup, and the noodles.
I opened the noodle bowl first, and the noodles were laid out nicely, and there were plenty of fresh onion shreds and chopped spring onion. Then I poured the soup in, and waited for a bit, for the noodles to soak up the soup and loosen up.
Ravaging through the noodles, I started to see some black hair, which is very shocking since this place is meant to be very good. I couldnt believe it, so I borrowed my friends camera to take a pic. I rarely take food pics, but this was just unbelievable. Anyway I thought maybe this is just a one-off thing, but I was wrong I found more, at least 5 strands of short black hair were found, either eyebrow hair or eyelash hair. Since OR will not let me put the pictures here, they are available on request. I have actually submitted the exact review twice, and OR will not upload it. So there must be some so called connections.
After discussing and showing many people, they said its probably animal hair from skin, but my noodle only contained beef tendons. I checked their menu too, there are no pigs skins or anything like that, its mainly beef, tendons, seafood, and fish balls.
So either that food fell on the floor, or their supplier gave them dirty food, but in any case, it should have been washed.
As for the taste, I dont know, if you saw that, you would definitely puke.
I still have the contaminated noodles and tempted to take it to the Food and hygiene department.
But being a food enthusiast, I am willing to give it another try, but not so soon!!
