至尊重慶雞煲 Supreme Restaurant
銅鑼灣堅拿道西10號冠景樓2樓B舖(鵝頸橋底)
Shop B, 2/F., Top View Mansion, 10 Canal Road West, Causeway Bay
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/chicken-pot-again-e2344608
I found out about this restaurant because I went to a tasting at their MK branch.
It was so nice that I went back again.
However at this branch, they don't seem to take telephone bookings when I phoned, when I got there, they asked if I booked so I said the person on the phone did not let me book.
Anyway, I did not abuse my authority as a reviewer because I could have simply called the Manager who gave me his business card to book.
Another reviewer who also went again anonymously was allowed to book but it was before a certain time.
This time they used the portable gas stoves which were much better at controlling the heat.
The amount of chicken in the pot was reasonable and it tasted as good as the tasting.
At the CWB branch, there are more snacks such as soups, salads and fried items.
The fried fish skin were delicious, they were crispy and had a strong fishy taste.
The only thing that the MK branch fared better was the seating because it was not so cramped.
There is a two hour dining time limit that starts counting when you sit down and they will present you with the bill half an hour before it ends but you can still continue eating until time is up.

[Review 3149] Fiji custard @ 麵包新語 BreadTalk
01/02/2014
麵包新語 BreadTalk
將軍澳坑口培成路15號連理街114號舖
Shop 114, the Lane, 15 Pui Shing Road, Hang Hau, Tseung Kwan O
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/fiji-custard-e2344561
A new branch of BreadTalk has opened in Hang Hau.
This branch is quite small compared to the other branches.
Anyway I got the Fiji Custard.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fiji custard:
I am quite puzzled why this is called Fiji custard because there is no custard in it nor can I find anything related to Fiji.
It was basically filled with cream and tasted like an oily cronut.
I did not like the crust because it was too crunchy.

[Review 3148] Tokyo icecream on the corner @ Via Tokyo

I tried their icecream ages ago but it seemed hard writing this up because I am not an expert on Japanese food.
One of the Japanese owners was really nice and shockingly spoke really good English because all the Japanese people I have met, I had trouble understanding what they said in English.
While I was there, they were making dumplings for the desserts.
Although there were lots to choose from, my favourite was actually the plain one with crispy rice only available to students.
I love that crispy rice which tastes like the cereal honey puffs.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Okome shiratama Azuki mix soft cream:
The dessert was nice and colourful but I found it a bit heavy and I don't like red beans.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Plain icecream with crispy rice:
This was my favourite, plain and simple soft serve with crispy rice.
I wish they served this on the regular menu.

[Review 3147] Lunch at Green Orange @ Green Orange

Green Orange

2/F, CS Tower, 50 Wing Lok Street, Sheung Wan
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/lunch-at-green-orange-e2344522
I was in the area during lunchtime so decided to try their lunch.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Soup and bread:
The soup was quite creamy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tandoori fish, cucumber salad and roast potatoes:
The fish was really nice, heavily spiced with Indian herbs paired with shaved cucumber and quite a lot of it too.
Usually, cucumber used as a decorative item but it was nice there was quite a bit because it had a refreshing taste that balanced the spiciness of the fish.
The roast potatoes were divine because they were fluffy in the middle with a lovely roasted skin.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chocolate brownie and icecream:
The chocolate brownie was dense and rich.

I havent been here for a while because the guy is not there anymore and the food quality seems to have gone down.
On my previous visit, the burger bun was dehydrated.
It was the woman this time so I only got the hotdog.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mini hotdog:
Surprisingly, the hotdog was ok, the bun was soft.
The frankfurter, tomato ketchup and mustard tasted great together giving a tangy taste.

[Review 3145] Yummy Quesadillas @ ViLLAGE KEBAB
31/01/2014
ViLLAGE KEBAB
西貢福民路952號高富樓地下37號舖
Shop 37, G/F., Ko Fu House, 952 Fuk Man Road, Sai Kung
https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/yummy-quesadillas-e2344514
Went to Sai Kung for food and dined here because no one was dining here.
You could tell that people were afraid to try the food from their reactions but after I sat down the Hong Kongers were not afraid to try because the restaurant was not empty.
Another thing that I observed is that HKers seem to be afraid of empty restaurants so when they choose their seats, they will sit near another table of diners.
In the UK, people like to spread themselves out.
I find that particularly annoying when I want peace and quiet and people have to sit nearby and yak with loud voices.
Since my last visit there are more choices on the menu.
I want to try their pasta because it is probably cooked in an Indian way with spices but it was a public holiday that day, so they don't serve it.
In the end I had the Quesadilla.
There is a choice chicken or falafel but I wanted both so I had a mix of the two.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Quesadilla with falafel and chicken:
hKD62
There was a sauce missing according to the photo, so I asked the guy and he came back with the green sauce.
I thought it was guacamole but it was Indian mint sauce.
The salsa sauce was amazing, it was diced tomatoes and onions in vinagrette with super fragrant cumin.
The Quesadilla was just divine because the it was crispy filled with cheese, falafel and roasted chicken, and the cheese was gooey and soft.

[Review 3144] Chocolate burgers and mini icecream cones @ Chocolat-ier

I have not been to Chocolat-ier for ages but recently I had this cute confectionary Cornetto and Chocolat-ier had it too so decided to try theirs.
I got these last year and forgot to review them until I read the recent reviews on Chocolat-ier which jogged my memory.
As well as mini confectionery icecream cones, they also had chocolate burgers and pizzas.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chocolate burger:
Basically it was a biscuit sandwiched in between two halves of chocolate.
It was quite nice just like having a chocolate biscuit with a bigger proportion of chocolate.
