While I was waiting for a table at School Food, I discovered that they were finally doing takeaways and it happened to be the maris I was going to dine there for.

Ordered the takeaway and the food was ready before my table was called so I gave my ticket to some lucky people which probably pissed some people off who were before them .

I liked the way they donate $1 for every transaction and not like some other restaurants where they charge you an extra $1 for charity without telling you beforehand.

The food came in a really nicely designed paper bag but I had to ask for chopsticks because there were no chopsticks in the bag.

Squid ink and fried shrimp mari:

The squid mari was as delicious as my first visit with sweet pickles in the middle.
After adding vinegar they tasted even better.
The shrimp mari was good too but the frying oil was not that fresh which let it down slightly.

Anyway I am glad they do takeaways and I will be back for more!!

Tried the new fried chicken coated in Japanese rice at the branch in Wanchai.
They also had chicken strips which I did not try:
Since my last visit, this branch has been redecorated.
I liked the colourful strip that went along the staircase.

Japanese rice coated chicken:

The taste of the coating was really good because there was a lot going on from the pepperiness of the black peppercorns and the crunch from the pieces of rice and rusk shells.
If the quality of the fried chicken was better then it would have been perfect because the chicken was too dry and I would have also liked more of that coating sprinkled on.

French buffet at Cafe Renaissance
2014-05-05  110 瀏覽
From today, French guest chef Raphael Szurek will be at Café Renaissance until 8th May to showcase his signature dishes including Baked Snails, Tartar and Nicoise Salad.
This sophisticated French gourmet journey experience is available from now to 29th June.
As well as French food, they serve Asian cuisine as well but being an expat I was impressed with the choices of pates, homemade terrine, baked snails, cheeses, rillettes and the almost 42" long baguette!!!!

[Review 3344] Fried chicken from HOF & SOJU @ 李家 (已結業)Chicken HOF & SOJU

Unfortunately there are not many Korean restaurants on the Hong Kong side so people have to cross the harbour to Kimberly Road which is like a Korean Street.

I wonder if the Koreans like that street because Kimberly sounds similar to the Korean name Kim!

Cabbage salad:

The cabbage was nice but found some black stuff.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fried chicken with spring onions:


The chicken was dry compared to this other Korean place I tried and it was spicy when the Korean staff said it was not spicy.
It was mainly chicken breast and chicken wings which was annoying because at this other Korean restaurant it was an equal mix of breast, thigh and wings.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Radish:

Compared to the previous reviews, the amount of radish was stingy.
