I am not fond of Chinese food but just tried these dishes.
The wax duck is basically like a Chinese version of Parma ham, except that it was duck.
The wax sausages were the usual taste, but they were inferior compared to the ones in CWB, as the ones there contain duck blood and liver.

If you compare the liver sausages, the one at CWB are much darker, richer and less in fat content.
The chicken with rice was the worst, it was fat, skin and bones, and hardly any meat to eat at all.

[Review 950] German Lunch Buffet @ King Ludwig Beerhall

Food here was excellent, the choice of food was acceptable.
The best item was the crunchy pork knuckle, it has truly crunchy skin, and the pork was still tender and not dry.
For the desserts, there were many items ranging from fruit to bread pudding.
There was raclette cheese too!
Service was excellent, they start your buffet off with a plate of fine pork knuckle cuts, sausage and sauerkraut.

[Review 949] Fusion dim sum at kowloon city @ 譚點 Tam Dim

Reminds me of V cuisine which I am itching to go, but V Cuisine locations in Tsuen Wan and Kwun Tong are a bit of a trek.
My initial impressions of the place was the noise, it was so noisy with people talking and the nasty clinking of the cups and bowls.
Anyway, sat down, it was freezing, and the air conditioning was so strong it was giving me the chills, the worst thing was, the temperature outside was warmer.
Ordered the toasted tea, which was rather bland.
All the teas they used were teabags, although the teabags are prepared by themselves, for a big teapot like that, there should be at least two bags inside or more tealeaves per bag.
The menu had chinese and english, but the english was slightly wrong,
MENU description: "beancurd sheet rolls with tomato and egg soup"
from the description I was expecting beancurd sheet rolls in tomato and egg soup literally, not thick tomato and egg sauce, and there was no indication in the english it was fried.
MENU description: "pomegranite juice pudding"
it wasnt pomegranite flavouring, but guava.
Ordred the following items:
MENU description: Baked rice with preserved sausage and chicken + preserved pork
There was nothing interesting about this dish.
MENU description:Steam pork dumpling with caviar
Just tasted how it should.
MENU description:Steamed rice rolls with slice beef and thousand year egg
This was the best dish, beef with cut pieces of preserved egg wrapped in rice roll.
MENU description:beancurd sheet rolls with tomato and egg soup
This wasnt what I was expecting, the tomato and egg soup was actually thick sauce, which went well with the deep fried meat.
This was the dish I expected it to look like, with the soup being tomato and egg as stated on the menu.

MENU description: deep fried sticky meat dumpling
These were carrot shaped whey they arrived.
MENU description: deep fried pork dumpling and prawn dumpling
This was basically a porking dumpling and a prawn dumpling deep fried, however the prawn dumpling didnt taste as good as dragons descent.

MENU description: Garlic cheese bun
Tasted like garlic bread.
MENU description: Mini wasabi mustard burger
There was no "wasabi" taste.
MENU description: pomegranite juice pudding
Just tasted like fake cream with a hint of guava not pomegranite
MENU description: Steamed brown sugar cake
This was bitter and the self raising flour didnt serve its purpose, because the texture was clumped together.

Ordered the sweet potato milkshake which is slightly different to the product picture.
However I do not have the product picture.
The product picture was basically purple milkshake with jelly in the drink.
When it came, it had wheatgerm on the top, and the milkshake was watery like rather than thick.
The taste was rather milky too.

Came all the way to try the vermicelli with chicken in fa diu wine, however when the noodles came, I could hardly smell the wine.
I then tried the soup, which didn't have the taste of wine, and it just tasted like plain chicken broth.
The chicken just tasted like plain chicken as well.
The drinks were OK, and the place was OK, over looking the sea.

[Review 946] Super cute mini fries inside a burger @ MOS Burger

MOS Burger (已結業)
九龍灣偉業街33號德福廣場二期4樓Piago內
Piago, 4/F, Telford Plaza Phase Two, 33 Wai Yip Street, Kowloon Bay
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/super-cute-mini-fries-inside-a-burger-e2139974
It's so cool, MOS is spreading like virus!
Now there is as branch in Kowloon Bay as well as Lok Fu~!~
Tried the grilled chicken burger with orange sauce (HK) name, which was launched simultaneously all over Asia on 26th Dec 2010.
The Singapore one is slightly different, it is called Grilled chicken burger with Orange-Pepper sauce, however when I tried the HK version, it was the same, it also had pepper in it.Hopefully it is here to stay for good!
When I got the burger, it was just like the product shot, it was layered with thinly sliced onions at the bottom, which were semi-cooked, with a slight crispy texture. Then it was the grilled chicken on top with golden orange sauce on top with pieces of black pepper.
Finally the best part! A scrunched up cake make of miniature fries! HOW CUTE!!!!!!
I just couldn't resist breaking it up, so that they were individual chips!!
Anyway, this is my favourite burger out of the whole MOS selection.
I really liked the chicken with the wafer thin sliced onions, crispy potato and the sweet orange sauce.
However it was slightly messy to eat, and the chicken was slightly tough.
The crunchy potato was certainly fun and delicious, they are similar to coated chips, but in super cute mini form.
So cute I had to place those mini fries next to a chicken nugget.
But overall I still felt hungry afterwards, even though I had a burger, chicken nuggets and a tea.

There are various branches of Overseas Dragon, however at this branch they offer more options on the menu.
The other branches, they have instant noodles, but this branch has New bamboo rice noodles, but same as Trusty gourmet, they are thicker than the ones I usually see.
The noodles and broth was very plain, and I also ordered vegetarian chicken with kelp in Lo Shui sauce (no picture).
The environment was fairly quiet, but there were a lot of mandarin speaking diners.
