Was bought afternoon snacks by friends, surprisingly the Chinese toast was ok, it didnt taste very eggy, and the butter was separated.

As for the egg tart, it tasted of egg tart mixed with Portuguese tarts.
The egg filling was firmer than usual tarts.

[Review 600] New Apple Pie packaging and new taste? @ 麥當勞 McDonald's

I haven’t had an apple for ages, so got one, instead of the red packaging it is now green, and gives off quite a refreshing feel too./
Anyway, it reminds me of sour apple sweets, the apple pie had a slight sour tinge to it, which is what you would expect for non McDonalds apple pies which are not sweetened.

The apple pies I had at McDonalds before are usually sweetened, perhaps this is a new healthy version, and it still tastes good.

Tried the roasted chicken, however the taste was more like grilled chicken with the oil grilled tasted, other than that it was ok, the rices were clumpy and coarse as usual, but the chicken ala king tasted good, reminded me of school dinners.

In comparison the new Flava roasted chicken doesn't taste as good as the roasted chicken wings.

The egg-tart was totally burnt, had to peel off the black skin on top of the tart.

Just couldnt resist another BK breakfast, especially the croissant with egg, cheese and mushroom.
The ham and egg was also good too, wafer thin ham with egg and cheese, however if I ordered the one with croissant, it would have tasted perfect, so I guess there will be a next visit.

I was rather surprised this placed was fully booked, anyway ordered fish stomach soup, stir-fried vermicelli with baby oysters, prawn pot with glass noodles, and prawn paste water spinach.
The fish stomach soup was rather peppery and hot in temperature, so it was very hard to taste the soup, until it cooled down, but the pepper taste in the soup stood out the most.

The vermicelli was good, silver thread vermicelli, although it could be slightly saltier as there was not much taste to it.

The prawn pot was ok, there was alot of glass noodles and again very distinctive in black pepper, also there were pieces of pork fat in it too~!

The vegetables tasted how it should nothing spectacular about it.

It appears that this restaurant was opened by a Japanese guy who started selling cheap curry at $15 dollars, just plain curry and rice, which is quite a good deal anyway considering it is Japanese curry, there are slight pieces of mince and vegetable, so the curry isnt that plain.

Anyway, it was quite likable for me, because I do not like meat much, I got the one with cheese, and also the seafood one.
It was literally curry with the chosen item topped on top of the curry.

The cheese curry was quite a good combination, the curry went well with the creaminess of processed cheese, the seafood one was also good, the seafood was not frozen, but seafood in brine containing octopuses, clams and prawns.

The curry comes with rice, with the option of adding extra for salad, potato wedges and drink.

Next time, I should try the German set with potato wedges and frankfurter, the potato wedges should go nicely with curry sauce.

Ever since I saw the noodles posted here, I have been wanting to try this place for ages.

The rich and dark soup broth was tempting.

After trying it, these are the best noodles in Kowloon city, ordered the boat noodles, and the duck noodles, the duck noodles contain juicy duck and gourmet blood curds.
The broth for the boat noodles were good for any one with a vampire blood thirst.

The Cambodian noodles here are slightly thinner and sweeter than the noodles in other thai places, and also slightly translucent too.
The rice vermicelli are also my favourite too, they are the silver thread ones that soak up the broth.

As for the Chiang Mai noodles, it is very spicy, not for those who cannot eat spicy foods.
