https://www.openrice.com/zh/hongkong/review/a-delicious-vietnamese-baguette-e2595229
Previously I have tried the Jordan branch which is takeaway only but this branch is bigger and you can sit there located right on Whitty Street facing HKU's B1 exit.
It was a hot afternoon so I didn't feel like anything hot.
The Vietnamese baguette was the solution and I was craving for bread anyway.
I got the signature Vietnamese baguette and the lime soda.
The baguette was big but I managed to finish it all because it was insanely delicious.
For me, the baguette was good, it was crispy and yeasty and the pickles were sour as they should be.
Every bite had an explosion of flavours and the chilis they put in were hot but it didn't linger.
The only thing I didn't like were the sliced trotters because I just don't like fatty things.
To be honest, I think expats will love this because of the baguettes they use and they are going to launch a cheese and ham one later which I will come back for.
Finished with the lime soda which had a refreshing fizz with a strong lime taste that wasn't toosweet.

[Review 5307] Quick farewell dinner @ 何洪記 Ho Hung Kee

Had a quick farewell dinner here because relatives wanted some local food before flying back to UK.
We had noodles, fried beef flat rice noodles, wontons and prawn dumplings which were local classics.
The food was good as expected, springy prawn dumplings and wontons filled with fresh prawns.
The noodles were good according to my relatives because they just love this stuff.
Personally I liked the stir fried flat rice noodles because it had a lovely soy sauce taste with juicy slices of beef in it.

[Review 5306] McCafe's chicken, ham and egg toastie @ McCafe

Went here for the chicken, ham and egg toastie because it was sold out at this other McCafe branch.
They have this special gadget that helps them slice it nicely.
It was really good that she put effort into arranging the toasties attractively on the plate.
The toastie was really good because the cheese was melted and the egg filling was creamy.
I didn't like the ham because I just don't like the plastic ham that they use and you couldn't really taste the chicken either.

[Review 5305] For Dessertissimo Kowloon fans @ 甜入心 Dessertissimo

I am so glad there is a Dessertissimo in Kowloon Bay because I love their coconut jelly.
There are branches in Shamshuipo and Shatin.
Unfortunately, I got there a bit late and my favourite dessert was sold out so I went for the coconut with fish maw.
The piece of fish maw was big and the sweetness of the coconut pudding was just right.
It was a really filling and nutritious dessert to eat but I am coming back for my coconut jelly

[Review 5304] The famous tofu of Tai po @ 亞婆豆腐花

This joint is famous for silky tofu so I tried it since I was in Tai Po.
The texture was really silky as expected but they put too much syrup which made it too sweet.
If I am ever in TP again, I don't mind trying but without any crushed yellow sugar or syrup.

McDonald's Pulled pork burger
2016-05-29 132 瀏覽
Earlier McDonald's launched the pulled chicken burger which I would classify as British/Indian because of the Tandoori sauce used.
Following the pulled chicken, Gabriel Choy's pulled pork burger made more sense because he used BBQ sauce and purple cabbage slaw.
Comparing to Switzerland's pulled pork burger, Hong Kong has cheese and Switzerland has apple in it.
To be honest, it is weird there is cheese because I don't see Americans putting cheese into their pulled burgers and the bacon is optional as well.
The huge slices of tomato were a bit strange too.
Anyway, it tasted better than the pulled chicken and the barbeque sauce did the trick in otherwords it was a NORMAL pulled pork.
The bacon made it tastier in terms of salty and smokiness.
