So good to see another pub styled place opening and serving lunch too.
Ranging from Western food to Asian foods such as Portuguese chicken.
Anyway the usual soup/salad, drink is included with the set lunch, and it was a bonus to get fruit after the tea and meal.
Food wise, it was good, my friend chose Portuguese chicken and rice, which turned out be best, I was biased into thinking it would not taste good, because of all the HK styled ones being strong in coconut and sweetness. But here it tastes really really good.
Also the pasta was good, I did find a piece of small clamshell, but eating food with shell fish, you should be careful anyway.

A really good place for Filipino food, I was surprised, there were not many reviews during that burger madness period.
During this visit, I tried the Palabok, Savory Beef rice, Wonton noodles and the Pearl coolers.
Palabok:
My favourite, glass noodles with thick shrimp sauce.
Although the flavour was not strong or salty enough, it was good with lemon juice.
The sauce was a bit thick.
Wonton:
A bit bizarre seeing wonton noodles in a Filipino hamburger shop, so ordered it,
very strong taste in garlic, with glass noodles.
Also the wontons were wrapped different to the Chinese one, u can see the prawn.
The portion was very small.
Savory beef rice:
Yummy minced beef in tomato sauce and rice. (forgot to take pic)
Pearl Coolers:
Very strong in coconut taste, and very sweet!

Ordered Shanghai dumplings, Pan fried dumplings, and noodles.
Shanghai dumplings: steamed just right, and the skin was still intact after using the chopsticks to pick them up,
Pan fried dumplings: tasted good with the vinegar sauce, however the skin was slightly thick.
Noodles: Tasted ok, but the noodles were too soft.

A white dessert house that shines amongst the dull backstreets of Tinhau.
I came here especially to try the Hokkaido milking pudding, since one of my favourites in Causeway Bay is shut.
Anyway, there were a few displays of other desserts, the menu separated into Chinese style and Western style, so I picked the Hokkaido milk pudding and the chocolate cake with chocolate sauce.
Both were presented nicely, the milk pudding tasted slightly different from the ones I tried before, it was slightly thick and panna cotta like, as described by FoodieWil. However I would have preferred the normal thick creamy texture rather than the gelatine texture.
Jumping from the light pudding to the rich chocolate, it was totally strong in every way, perhaps a little bit strong and sweet.

In the midst of Wanchai, this location is quite interesting, right next to a pet shop selling chirpy birds. Eating congee and noodles, with birds chirping away! It feels like being near a park.
Anyway, the noodles here taste how it should be, it also contained miso soya beans as shown on the picture.
However the congee is worth mentioning.
The dried oyster congee I had was amazing, full of oyster and oyster taste!
For $28, they were a bit different from normal dried oysters, still greyish in colour, not the dark orange hard oysters. Yet when you bite into it, the soft body crumbles into sandy lumps, just like salted egg yolk.
Definately worth trying the dried oyster congee, since the oyster is not dried to a hard form state.
In the congee were bits of finely shredded ginger, so fine, that you can taste the texture but not the over powering taste, then there were little bits of fruit peel!

[Review 241] Chicken fries @ 大雞大超級雞排 Big Big Chick

Ask any Australian, and they will be able to tell you about Chicken fries. In Australia, they put chicken powder on their chips.
So when I came across this Taiwanese snack shop, I had to check it out, although they claim to be the world's first chicken fries, actually it originates from Australia, and the Taiwanese have imported the idea to their country, and later opening stores in Hong Kong. I wanted to try them along time ago, but the first shop was located in Yuen Long which is a bit out of bounds. Now there are quite a few shops in the outskirts of town.
Its bright yellow and fast food smell drew me over, to a glass cabinet filled with fried foods, the staff busy packing the food and sprinkling flavoured powder all over the chicken.
Anyway I ordered the fried chicken breast, fried thigh pieces, fries, and chicken wings.
Most of the items were over fried, and a strong taste of re-used oil. So overall, I would only recommend the chicken thigh, and chicken wings. I asked about the ingredients of the powder, but I felt the staff were either in a hurry or not willing to answer.
All I got for an answer was " It's our own recipe, thank you, BYE"
The taste of the powder had some Chinese spice, which I do not know the name, slightly sweet too.
I was a bit disappointed with the fries, because they were ordinary crinkled chips, not the quality ones.
The only credit I would give them, is that they have an English version of the menu~!

Normally you would come to KFC for chicken, but today I came here for fish!
Little pieces of fish coated in crunchy flour, tasted just like chicken, but juicier.
Just like their other recipes, thirstiness is expected from the MSG in the coating.
Hong Kong's KFC is probably the only KFC in the world to serve interesting items!
