[Review 197] Check your order @ Thai Hut

After refurbishments, the shop looks better in general, not as shanty as before.

However the menu, it is so disorganised, the one on display and the takeaway one, the numbers on the takeout menu do not match the in-house one, so if you do order take-out best to verbally confirm the dish name rather than the number!

603 on the takeout menu is prawn fried rice with prawn paste, but according to their inhouse menu, it is chicken fried rice.
Anyway after confirming it, she still got it wrong, and gave me prawn fried rice.

So much for trying to try what I wanted to try.
The prawn cake, described as bursting with sweet corn, did not have sweetcorn in it as claimed.

Ordered the signiture dish grilled chicken steak with lotus root, squid cake patty.
The chicken was juicy and tender, freshly skilletted chicken thigh off its bone, and marinated with various of sauces, the patty was also good too, juicy and not dry, vegetables were also included to balance out the meat, but not significant enough to be a portion.
I was expecting one patty, but there were too.

Anyway the rice was good too, with sauce and chopped spring onions, and bits of picked white carrot with chilli that spiced it up, distinguishing it from other restaurants.

Another good dish!!

[Review 195] Wasabi fish burger @ McDonalds 麥當勞

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

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.

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

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

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.
