There are always good cakes at McCafe, the orange mousse with chocolate is a good match, the citrusness of the orange complements the cocoa sponge.
Also the mousse is slightly heavier than normal mousse mimicking the cheesecake texture. Whether the mousse is light or heavy in texture, it would still taste good.
The appearance of the cake is vibrant with good contrasting colours, dark brown sponge and bright orange mousse.

[Review 516] Quite impressed @ Cheese Pizza芝脆雞

I love fried chicken, and the fried chicken here is just right, with KFC, you have to go there at the right moment, ie when it is just done, too late and the chicken is too dry.
It is very impressive, there is a range of bottles of ketchup, salt and pepper to enhance your meal. Apart from that, there are plates, knives and forks, disposable gloves to let you eat at ease.
Originally I wanted the set meal with pizza, chicken, potato wedges, calamarii rings, but then when I ordered, I found out it was selected pizzas only. Then menu is rather confusing and the staff are a bit unresponsive. Anyway I sat down again and looked at the menu and went for the other set with 3 pieces of chicken, choice of SMALL snack (potato wedges), 2 drinks, 6" pizza.
The potato wedges were the first to arrive, it was a very small portion, so assuming it was SMALL snack as stated, hence the quality was small, but then they took away the plate and gave us a bigger portion.
Anyway the wedges here taste great, exactly the same taste as McDonalds.
The chicken was crispy and juicy. The Mexican pizza wasnt as good as I expected, I was expecting kidney beans, rather than pepperoni and chili oil. Although it did taste ok, it could have been better. The pizza base is the same as the deep pan at pizza hut, and the base is crispy like if it was pan-fried like the Shanghai Sang jin bau's.
The selection of drinks are also quite extensive, but due to costing, they have stocked the Pepsi line's Miranda drinks and the china's Crystal springs 碧泉 (strong in TIN taste), there was also Taoti canned drinks, but maybe made in China, as there was a strong Tin Taste.
However for the Miranda selection, the apple one is a safe one to choose, because it is American version with a cider taste, the citrus versions is an Eastern adaptation of Miranda for Asian tastes.

[Review 515] Food after their refurbishment @ Istanbul Express Turkish Restaurant伊斯坦堡特快

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/food-after-their-re-furbishment-e2041033
This was my regular lunching place a while ago, I would come here twice a week, but after it has been refurbished, I felt the food quantity has gone down, the portions are so small, small enough for people on diet.
The set included drink and soup, and now it only has a drink with it.
Also beef kofte, there used to be five in a plate, but now only four pieces.
The rice was not as good as before, it used to have nuts in it.
However the speed has sped up, used to wait ages for the food to arrive, now it is slightly more organized, before the meats are cooked, all the plates have been laid out with the sides and rice, then when the meat arrives, its ready to serve.
The waiters are also very efficient making sure you have the sauces and clearing the table when you have finished, so you can leave soon after the meal has finished.

[Review 514] Boring menu @ UnoMas - Spanish Restaurant

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/boring-menu-e2041031
I was a bit disappointed as I was looking forward to a variety of Tapa's and now it is only the fixed lunch set with starter, mains and dessert.
It is pricier than the tapa's set too.
Anyway since I was already there I ordered the bread with serrano ham as a starter, and the squid and prawn saffron rice with vanilla dessert.
The bread with ham was quite nice, the ham was soft like smoked salmon, and the taste was like cheese.
The rice was a bit hard, my jaw was practically tired after eating it.
The dessert was nice and creamy, and not too sweet.
Overall the food here is good, but service is bad, you practically need to ask them for a glass of water or they will not give you one.
if they have the tapa's lunch I will come back again.

[Review 512] Slight improvement @ 扒王之王 Steak Expert

Since my last visit, I found there were lots of improvements, the soup is much better than before.
The dishes are served with proper chips rather than the criss-cross fries, the bread that came with the soup was Hong Kong style sweet bread which tastes disgusting with salty butter, so if it was a western bun, I would be happier!
However the menu could be improved, its very scattered.
The drinks were not as extensive as before, there were juices available to choose on the dinner sets, but now reduced to tea and soft drinks.

[Review 511] Expensive tea set @ Tai Hing 太興

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/expensive-tea-set-e2040755
For tea, the average price is around 2x -4x, so for Chinese food, 4x is classified as expensive especially when it is stir-fried noodles, usually a la-carte noodles are around 3x-4x.
Anyway, it tasted ok, the instant noodles had a good mix of vegetable julienne, and strong in black pepper.
The satay ho-fun was quite spicy too, lots of sauce, but the ho-fun was a bit over-smoked with wok fumes.
