Chicken McGrill Burger:
This is basically the same as McD's other grilled chicken burgers except the bun used this time is a sour bun and the mayonnaise used has lots of grounded black pepper in it.
The sour bun did not have a prominent taste nor did the coral lettuce enhance enhance the taste of the burger, but it was visually nice to see a different type of lettuce served in the burger.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Zesty Tomato Shake Shake seasoning:
The taste of this seasoning was exactly the same as the seasoning that was used in KFC's potato party.
The taste was really fake, a mix between paprika and carotene.

The duck here is not bad but as you can see I only got about three to four tiny pieces.
As well as the duck, I tried marinated tofu with rice (No Photo) which is quite nice.
The tofu is well marinated from outside to the centre and it is fully flavoured in the middle as well.

The curry udon was reasonable, the udon was al dente and the curry sauce was light.
I was expecting the soup to be thicker but it was quite thin.
But overall the udons at Jika are reasonable priced.

[Review 1565] Fried Taro Rolls HKD12 @ Big Big Chick 大雞大超級雞排

Saw the promotional poster and the taro rolls looked interesting.
It looked like a fish roll filled with taro.

Anyway I wanted to try those taro balls too as seen on the picture below, but the music from the shop beside it was pumping so loud that it was difficult to order, so in the end I just ordered the rolls as I could just point to the poster without verbally ordering it.

When the rolls were ready they put lots of MSG flavoured seasoning on it which really ruined it, it made it too salty.

The inside of the roll was quite disappointing because I was expecting real taro puree inside but it was glutinous filling and there was no taro taste.

[Review 1564] Black truffle angus XT - King's Collection @ 漢堡王 Burger King

Tempura whopper:
My second time having this burger and the tempura still tastes great.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Black truffle angus:
The black truffle angus was quite nice but the black truffle mayonnaise was too creamy and the black truffle taste was not strong enough to balance out the creamy taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Orange juice:
Although it was labelled as Orange juice it tasted like orange concentrate with sweet syrup to make it sweet.

[Review 1563] Apple pie and afternoon tea set @ Burger King 漢堡王

Had one of the tea sets and regretted not getting the croissant as well as I don't know when I can next try the tea set.
There were three sets to choose from: BBQ Chicken Tender Burger, cheese and ham croissant and the fish burger.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
BBQ Chicken Tender Burger:
This burger was sandwiched with three chicken tender strips with mayonnaise and barbecue sauce.
Since it was three pieces of chicken instead of a whole piece there was more proportion of flavoured coating and crunch to it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Apple pie:
When I got the apple pie it was so oily you could see the oil on the packaging and the edges.
Anyway the pie pastry was too thick and the apple filling was very artificial.
Since it was too hot, I let it cool down to take another bite but when it had cooled down you could smell the fying oil in the pastry.

[Review 1562] Stir Fried Beef Ho Fun @ QE Hospital Staff Canteen

Dined here about a year ago but I had no intentions of writing about it, but since I decided to write about the TKO Hospital canteen I might as well write about this too.
Compared to the TKO hospital, this canteen was much busier and packed with people so I did not take pictures of the restaurant itself.

Both canteens serves the typical Chinese food which I am not really fond of and when there is nothing that I like I just order the Stir Fried Beef Ho Fun.
The Beef Ho Fun looked OK and the taste OK but it was too heavy and greasy.
The spring onions could have been cut shorter.
