I like chocolate but Hong Kong just isn't the place for chocolates as the it always melts because of the hot climate hence winter is a better time to try more selections at Royce's chocolate.
Tried a chocolate thin which is spicy however the spiciness wasn't that prominent or made any impact but the chocolate texture was nice and smooth.

[Review 1153] Chicken and cheese sandwich @ 肯德基家鄉雞 (KFC) Kentucky Fried Chicken

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/chicken-and-cheese-sandwich-e2174210

The chicken and cheese toasted sandwich is nice, but not as big as shown in their product picture.

The chicken in the sandwich is about 5mm in thickness, which is white meat that isnt tough.

The sandwich also contains a slice of cheese and some white salad cream.
The salad cream ruined it, because it was sweet.

I didn't appreciate how the toast was buttered inside and on the outside.
There is so much butter you can see it on the outside.

[Review 1152] Dim Sim dinner at the heart of Ladies Market @ 點心棧

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/dim-sum-for-dinner-at-the-heart-of-ladies-market-e2174208

Always lost in MK as to what to eat, so came here for a dim sum dinner.
It is situated in the middle of ladies market, where all the tourists are, but surprisingly there is no English on the menu.

Not sure if the food here was considered cheap or expensive, but usually I find the quality of expensive dimsum the normal quality you get in UK so for super quality I would need to go to a super expensive restaurant .

I am not the only expat that has this problem with finding good local food in a local place, quite a shame actually that a place cant serve good local food!
There were about seven items crossed off on the list because they were not available!

Ordered the following:

Crispy savoury wasabi meat croquette
This was different to how I expected it to be. I visualised a croquette with creamy light green sauce inside.
The first one I tried had no wasabi taste, the second one I tried, I found a big lump, but no wasabi taste at all.

chicken feet in vinegar
The vinegar is too sweet and not that savoury.
It was garnished with lots of coriander.
The vinegar sauce for this dish was very generous!
If it hadnt taste so sweet, I would have used the remaining vinegar to dip other stuff.
rice with spare ribs and chicken feet
There was nothing spectacular about it, the rice and meat was just ok.
chicken feet in XO sauce
usually this is served in black bean sauce or abalone, but this place uses XO.
The XO sauce was faint, however the garlic was strong.
It was slightly spicy, but if you didnt know it was XO sauce, it just tastes like the normal ones.
prawn rice rolls
Nothing special, the prawns were not evenly distributed.
Luckily the waitor was generous with the soy sauce because it was bland.

soup dumpling with abalone
The pork in this wasnt that fresh, but did find a whole mini abalone as stated.
beancurd rolls in soup
Again the pork in this was not that fresh, and it was oily.

[Review 1151] Fish Burger @ MOS Burger

The fish burger at MOS is slightly sweeter than the other fish burgers elsewhere.
The mayonnaise used in the fish burger at freshness is more refreshing.
All the buns for the fish burgers do not have sesame on top except for the one at Burger King.
Anyway the cheese is generous at MOS you get a full slice, however the fish is slightly bland.

[Review 1150] Meat mountain that resembles the one at Tai hang @ 大快活 Fairwood

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/meat-mountain-that-resembles-the-dish-at-tai-hang-e2174106

The steamed meat patty here resembles the famous meat patty at Tai Hang.

Although I havent tried the one at Tai Hang, I do not have any expectations for it.
I just tried it for fun because the appearance looks like the meat patty at Tai Hang.

The Chinese dishes here are in response to the Farmhouse dishes at Maxim's.

Same as Maxim's, the set comes with soup, drink and rice.

The meat patty was a mass lump shaped like a mini hill with a salted egg yolk placed on top.

For those who do not know or havent seen the meat patty at Tai Hang will be wowed by it!

The meat patty was on a bed of sliced courgettes, I really liked how it was steamed, because the patty didnt stick to the plate, and the meat juice from the patty was at the bottom of the dish and soaked by the courgettes.
The texture of the meat patty was quite firm, not as soft as the good quality ones.

[Review 1149] Pub lunch canteen @ 大亨廊 Big Shot Lounge

It's another case of been there, tried that.
This place is a pub, but serves lunch at lunchtime!
There are about ten choices for chinese dishes with rice and soup, when I ordered I didnt know you could pick two choices.
So I picked bittermelon and porkchop.
The bittermelon was ok, the porkchop was very soggy, almost if it was cooked in soup/water.

[Review 1148] Ribs @ 15+J Roaster

Last time I had the chicken, it was amazing, so this time I came back for the ribs.

Same as last time I got the set, which includes a drink and a side order

For the side order this time I had the fruit salad.
The fruit salad turned out to be really good because the product shot on the menu illustrates it as fruit with salad cream when it was just pieces of fruit.
If I knew that last time, I would have got the fruit, it had fresh blueberries and strawberries as well.

The chicken tasted as good as last time, with lots of herbs on it (the photo doesn’t show it that well).

The ribs were nicely done, it was covered in rich sauce which you can see from the photo.

I think next time I will leave some space for dessert.
