The Legendary Triple O's by White Spot
2019-05-10  343 瀏覽
I love Triple O's by White Spot, it is one of the places I go for Poutine.

Triple O's by White Spot has been in Hong Kong longer than I have and way before Shake Shack, Five Guys, Butchers Club and has even seen the good and bad times of the burger trend while some competitors like Shakem Buns and Caliburger packed up.

There is something special about Triple Os.


To be honest, I haven't been to Triple Os for a long time but recently I was back for the Vegan burgers.
There are two on the menu.
The veggie burger isn't new but they have another plant based one that uses the Impossible Patty.

Triple Os is one of the first burger chains in Hong Kong to serve a plant based burger while McDonalds, Burger King serve it in other countries.
The Impossible Patty served here is the 2.0 version.

[Veggie Burger]


Perhaps this is the most original veggie burger before the plant based trend came by.
The patty is made with vegetables, potato and rice which is simple and filling.


[Impossible Burger]

All I can say is that it was just as good a meat if not better because it didn't have the fatty pieces and gristle.
It also has the raw meat colour before being cooked.
The poutine was divine, I just love chips and gravy with a little bit of cheese.
I think it was the first time I tried the onion rings and they were spot on with juicy sweet onion in the middle ad crispy coating that wasn't heavy.

For drinks, I had the blueberry milkshake which is a popular pick.
It is made with blueberries and icecream hence the natrual taste.
Evidently Triple Os is a legend as everything tastes good from the burger to sides and milkshakes.



Definitely coming back but also gutted that I have missed some of their seasonal items such as Surf n Turf, Turkey & Gravy Burger which are captivating.

To be honest, this was the first ever time I was impressed with Simplylife.
Tried the other branches at Tai Koo, IFC and TKO but the bakery was not good.

Walked past the other day and saw roast chicken that was glistening and moist so had to get it.
There was a proper rotisserie at the back as well.
Tried the roast potatoes first and they were soft and silky.
Although the edges were not crispy, it was good that the potatoes were cooked properly and not hard in the middle.
The chicken was fantastic especially the chicken skin which was springy and heavily coated with delicious herbs while the chicken was soft and tasty.

Tried to visit this ice room yesterday at 19:30 and to my surprise I was turned away because there was no food!!!!
Went again the next day around 18:00 and they had some of the items I wanted except the buk kut teh soup.
From the menu, it seems that they serve south Asian dishes like laksa, bak kut teh etc.
Started with the scrambled egg sandwich and kaya toast.
The egg sandwich was pretty good.
Slightly runny yet cooked.
The kaya toast was really good as there was lots of kaya spread and the toast was half toasted and half soft.
For the curries, it comes with pandan rice and the curry is served separately so the fried meat does not become soggy.
The pork chops was lean and moist.
The curry chicken is basically the same but with fried pieces of chicken.
When I left to pay the bill, I finally found out why all the food was sold out so quickly!
EVERYTHING WAS HALF PRICED!!
SO ALL THAT WE FOOD WE HAD INCLUDING DRINKS WAS UNDER HKD100

'Strawberry cream cake at Super Sweets Gallery

There are three branches of SSG, went to the one CWB but unfortunately the food court area is being renovated so I just got a cake to try.\
In terms of taste it was really good as it wasn't too sweet.
The cream, strawberry and cake balance was good while the cake was light and fluffy.
Compared to Europe, all cakes are just overpriced because for HKD50, you can get a whole cake, while the wholes cakes in Hong Kong would cost you well over HKD300.

[Review 7404] Classy Chinese Cocktail at SuperNormal @ SuperNormal

It was raining when I was in KB so spotted this restaurant while  I was sheltering from the rain.
The name was quite fun and the logo reminded me of this drinks joint so went in to check it out and see how super normal it was.
As well as HK, there is another Supernormal in Melbourne.

The menu was pretty good for Kowloon Bay with variety and the cocktail menu was impressive especially the Hua Diao cocktail.
I settled for the oyster soup because not many places serve it.
The last time I had it was at Cafe2 in Sai Ying Pun.
I liked the portion size of the soup because it was big and tasted as good as expected as it was blended with lots of oysters which you could taste.

Next were the Buffalo Chicken wings which were coated in this delicious tangy and fiery sauce served with real blue cheese sauce.
Each wing was deliciously crispy!!!

The mussels were creamy with lots of herbs.
I think I tasted some Basil in it.

The pork shanks were tangy and appetizing with a smoky BBQ flavour to it.
The meat came off easily.


Finished with the Hua Diao Cocktail which was to my liking because it was presented in a Chinese vase while and I loved the sweet tones of the cocktail.


The Mo Mo Cha cocktail had a touch of rose to it.

Will definitely be back as there is so much on the menu from fish and chips to roast chicken.

Big Sur is a Californian restaurant located on Staunton Street.
I have always wanted to try it so finally did one evening.
Unfortunately, the menu has changed so they longer have the cheese popovers
Had the asparagus which was my favourite as it came with lots of sourdough.
The salmon confit was also good because it was delicious smoked pink salmon complimented with Brussels sprouts and pickles.
Hopefully they will change the menu again and put the popovers back on.

The slices of beef were succulent and tender and it came with lots of salad so it was quite filling yet light.
