tried the new siracha chicken burger with egg, siracha sauce, cheese and honey mayonnaise.
i found the burger too dry and the chicken patty too salty.
the siracha sauce was really fiery and too spicy for my tastebuds so great for people who like it spicy.

You can't really get good donuts in hk except for marks and sparks.
anyway went here again because i hadn't tried the glazed chocolate before.
shockingly it was so empty inside but the good thing is that you can eat other flavours without getting full because it is made of air.
the taste was ok and not too sweet but the texture of the chocolate was waxy.
the other donut filled with filling was terrible because it was hard and chalky.

Walked past and saw some expats dining there so decided to go in and try it.The menu seemed ok because lunch was offered.
Started with the soup of the day which was quite pleasing because it reminded me of soups in the UK.

For mains, had the pork and mackerel.
++++
I liked the way the gravy and pork were served separate. The pork was surprisingly good because I liked that charred taste as it was grilled on lava rocks according to the menu.

The fish was also a delight but had many fine bones so you have to be careful..

Both mains were paired with Japanese rice.

Finished with the Hojicha latte and I loved it because it wasn't too creamy or powdery.

++++
The Eugenia chiffon cake was so foodogenic with cream drizzled on top.
It had a balanced eggy and matcha taste.

This was not a tasting but you could consider it as a tasting because they had samples available.
It was good there were samples because coriander is not everyone's cup of tea.
Interestingly, the label in the cabinet says cilantro while the poster says coriander.
Anyway I liked the poster because it really gets peoples attention.
Luckily there were samples and the filling was quite good but I found the buttery aroma too overwhelming.

My dad was in HK so decided to get him a cute decorated suckling pig from Good BBQ which is something that you probably won't find in the UK presented like this.
It was delivered on time and the design was a lovely surprise because it was for Father's day and I left the design over to them.
The eyes flash.
The tie had two sides to it.
After chopping it up, it was enough for the eight of us and the sauces were hidden beneath the pig.
The suckling pig was crispy and the meat was tender and well seasoned that it didn't really need the sauces.

Previously came here for the drink which was impressive but lunch was not so.
The presentation was fantastic though, it looked like an inflight meal and I loved the Chinese shaped spoons made of recycled cardboard and the foil rice box was fun.
I suppose it was ok but the texture of the fish was a bit mushy and the taste was a bit bland.

There are quite a few branches of cocoichibanya but the one at CWB and TaiKoo are not good so decided to try the one at TKO.
I was surprised that the curries are served in a shallow bowl which makes a brilliant difference because you can mix the rice and curry sauce better.
Had my usual natto bean favourite and it was delicious because the curry was just the right level of spiciness but the natto beans looked a bit too frothy that day.
Anyway, I will definitely come again soon but their air con is a bit too cold.
