https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/orangelicious-deep-sea-octopus-and-turkey-gizzards-e2262472
I rarely eat from these street stalls because it usually results in food poisoning, but this particular stall is one that I walked past all the time and get the temptation to try it, however every time I pass by it is always crowded and it is right on the corner of the road where everyone crosses the road from.
It was really good because the cabinet had the whole gizzards and octopus tentacles so you could visually see how big they were.
Recently I tried some orange coloured pig intestines which I have never tried before and realised they were really delicious and did not have a foul smell.
The ones that smelt bad were the big intestines with a fatty lining but the smaller intestines looks like huge flattened macaroni.
For these street stalls snacks I just found out that there are two ways of eating the snacks, one is eaten chilled and the other that is blanched.
The snacks here are eaten chilled and surprisingly for this type of snack there are only two sauces to put on it: yellow mustard and sweet sauce.
Finally I had the chance to experience the messyness of eating snacks on the street, holding the skewer away from the body so that you do not drip the sauce on your clothes but on the pavement/road.
Anyway the owner was quite nice, she said I could take my time eating it.

Deep sea octopus tentacles:
I tried the octopus because the tentacles looked huge. It was so delicious I had another one.
The tentacles were extremely tender and the sauce it was marinated in was packed with aromatic spices that are not spicy.
The tentacles looked so glassy and shiny in the cabinet that they were just irresistible.
I tried without the sauces and it was nice but after adding the yellow mustard which had a hint of sourness, it was even more appetising!
First skewer:
Second skewer:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Turkey gizzard:
I was surprised at the enormity of these gizzards, I thought the chicken was fed drugs to enlarge its gizzard or it had some illness.
Then after looking at the menu I found out that these were not chicken gizzards but TURKEY which explains the size.
As for the taste, it was really nice and well complemented by the sweet sauce and yellow mustard.
The gizzard texture was really meaty and did not smell.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
I am really surprised that this snack joint only has one review which was dated 2010, so this joint must have been here for quite a while and every time I go past it, there are so many people queuing for it too.

[Review 1849] Jaat Doh Jaat Reggae rhythms on electric road @ 泰國翟道翟街頭粉仔 Thailand Chatuchak Noodle
08/10/2012
泰國翟道翟街頭粉仔 Thailand Chatuchak Noodle
天后電氣道83號利景閣地下7號舖
Shop 7, G/F, Lee King Mansion, 83 Electric Road, Tin Hau
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/jaat-doh-jaat-reggae-rhythms-on-electric-road-e2262462
I have always wanted to try this place every time I walked past because the front of the shop was really colourful.
Basically this shop stands out from Electric Road.
Anyway, the owner of this shop also has a Japanese restaurant called Omerice round the corner.
They used to have a restaurant in Sai Kung but I can't remember what it was.
This place is famous for Chatuchak noodles, at first I did not know Chatuchak was a city in Thailand, I thought it was some cool name and I also thought this place was opened by William Chak.
But somehow the name Chatuchak and Reggae is a good pairing along with the colourful decor.
The signature noodles that they serve look like jelly but I am not a fan of noodles that have a texture like konjac noodles so I tried the Vermicelli and some other snacks.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Nice decor:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Drinks:
I was really surprised with the variety of drinks they had. They had these drinks called red ice and green ice but I forgot to take a picture of them, but apparently they taste like lollipops.
For bottled drinks they had DEDE coconut juice and Oishi tea.
The Oishi tea was an interesting brand because it is from Thailand but they have other Japanese brands under their name and Japanese restaurants too in Thailand.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Thai Street style vermicelli:
Basically it was vermicelli noodles in soup with fried pigs skin, fishballs, pork slices and beanshoots.
The broth was just right and not to salty. The fishballs were really cute because they are smaller than the standard ones.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken satay:
The chicken was lovely and tender flavoured with lemongrass herbs.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Glass noodle salad:
I did not know this was spicy because there was no chili sign next to it like some items.
But anyway if it wasnt spicy, it was refreshing as a starter.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sweet potato pillows:
This was crispy toast on the outside filled with sweet potato puree with mochi.
The sweetness was not cloyingly sweet which was good.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
DEDE coconut juice:
The drink was really nice with pieces of young coconut.
They serve it with a glass of ice so the drink is even more refreshing.

[Review 1848] Tagliatelle with Chinese roast pork @ Deli-O

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Photos of the restaurant:
When I walked by, this restaurant reminded me of Simplylife and Maxim's western style restaurants.
The decor inside was similar too.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tagliatelle with Chinese roast pork:
It was really good that they used Tagliatelle instead of ordinary spaghetti because the tagliatelle absorbs more soup and it was tastier.
The roast pork was just the usual, there was nothing spectacular about it but there was no complaint because it was not too fatty or dry.
The broth tasted like Knorrs chicken soup.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Toast with ham and scrambled egg:
The toast was reasonable and the ham and scrambled egg was just done Chinese style.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Coffee:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Photos of the menu/tea sets:
They had fish and chips and minced pies but as the style was not really Western I did not bother ordering that.

[Review 1847] Piping hot egg tart with silky smooth filling @ 惠籮餅店 Violet Cake Shop

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/piping-hot-egg-tart-with-silky-smooth-filling-e2262397
Located on the corner of Electric Road, it is hard to miss.
The difference from this bakery is that you see the cakes from outside and order from the counter.
The egg tarts looked quite nice from the outside so I decided to get one.
However I could not see the prices.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Shop photos:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Egg tart:
When they remove the egg tart from the metal casing they will use a piece of bread to act as a surface to knock it out.
Then they will put the egg tart in a cake casing and put it in a small carrier bag and pass it to you after you have paid, however if you are still fumbling with the coins they will hang the bag on the window.
When I got the egg tart it was really hot, the pastry base was shortcrust and luckily it was not that buttery.
As for the sweetness of the overall egg tart it was just right. The custard filling was quite runny just like the Chinese smooth steamed egg.

I have not tried pork stomach soup with pickled vegetable so tried it, it was not as salty as I thought it would be, but pickled vegetables taste better than white pepper.

[Review 1845] Cornmeal crusted catfish @ Blue Smoke Bar-B-Que

https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/cornmeal-crusted-catfish-blue-smoke-bar-b-que-e2262041
Previously dined here before and their semi-buffet lunch was good, so this time went again.
Although the buffet was not as good as before, the mains were still OK.
The buffet choice was quite limited and there was no soup or fried chicken which was available before.
Even the dessert buffet selection was limited.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Catfish sandwich:
I have always wanted to try the catfish so I ordered that.
The catfish was coated in cornmeal and came with freshly made crisps.
The coating was really interesting, the cornmeal was extremely fine, and it had an extra crispy texture.
The coating was light because the cornmeal was ultrafine like semolina.
The fish was nice and succulent and tender but the coating was slightly too salty.
As for the crisps, they were slightly hard but since they were freshly done they were quite nice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chili beef:
As always the chili beef is packed with so many spices and my favourite kidney beans.
It also came with coloured nachos which all tasted the same and it was available in the buffet selection as well.

[Review 1844]Thick cut fries served from now on!!!! @ 漢堡王 Burger King

Shop R1A, 1/F, Nan Fung Plaza , Tseung Kwan O
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/thick-cut-fries-served-from-now-on-bk-e2261941
Walked past and noticed that they were serving thick cut fries.
When I went in I realised these thick cut fries have replaced the thin cut fries served before.
It is quite interesting for a well established fast food chain to change their fries, I wonder if it is a global change as well.
Anyway I decided to try them.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Thick cut fries:
Although they are marketed as thick cut, they were not that thick, they were about 7-9 mm in diameter.
The thin fries before were probably around 6-7 mm in diameter.
Since they were slightly thicker than the fries before, it made the fries more substantial, the inside was soft with a slight crispy exterior.
As they were thicker, not much salt remained on the surface of the fries so they were not that salty and I felt that more ketchup was needed to makeup for the taste.
The fries before were tastier but these are also good too because they have a lovely soft center.
Perhap they need an extra pinch of salt.
