KFC: We review Colonel Craft Beers in Hong Kong

KFC has partnered with a local Hong Kong brewery and launched their Colonel Craft Beers. You can’t find them at just any KFC in Hong Kong, they are only available at their concept store in Causeway Bay on Percival and Hennessy Road. There are 3 floors and they serve exclusive items like the Colonel Craft Beers.

There are 2 types of beer available – IPA and Pale Ale Citra. You can add it to your meal or just get it a la carte. There is no shame in just getting beer.

IPA (on tap)

The IPA is hoppy compared to the Pale Ale Citra. As it only comes on top, you must have it when you dine in. There’s no way you can do take out for this one. It even comes in a pint glass too, but you’ll have to give it back when you’re done.

Pale Ale Citra (in bottles)

The Pale Ale Citra is served in bottles and can easily be brought home for souvenirs. Thats what I did. The Pale Ale Citra is light with notes of citrus. Not too hoppy at all and it would pair really well with their fried chicken.

Crispy Hot & Spicy Chicken

The Crispy Hot & Spicy Chicken was created in collaboration with Lays, which has their hot & spicy chicken covered in potato chips. This will pair well with either beer.

Very good taste as it was very tender and juicy. The exterior was ok, but was a tad limp but probably because I didn’t eat it fresh.

You can get this at any KFC in Hong Kong.

KFC x Lay’s MAXX Deep-Ridged BBQ Flavoured Potato Chips

These MAXX Deep-Ridged BBQ Flavoured Potato Chips is another KFC and Lay’s collaboration which is available limited time only. It features the deep-ridged chips in BBQ flavour. It looks super cool, but when we ate it, it wasn’t that special at all. I much prefer kettle chips for a nice crunchy texture.

You can get this at any KFC or 7-Eleven in Hong Kong.

Final Thoughts

It’s super cool that KFC in Hong Kong is serving beer. As it is their concept store, its interesting to see the future of fast food dining and where they are trying to go.

The Pale Ale Citra is a great memento when bring something back from overseas. I ordered 5 bags of chips, 5 beers, and a few pieces of chicken to myself. I wonder what they thought I was doing. hahaha.

KFC Hong Kong: Fried Sweet Potato Balls

KFC in Hong Kong serves up Sweet Potato Balls on the menu as an add-on item for $10 HKD ($1.69 CDN). It came 9 to a box, which was an odd number, but that’s what we got.

I had to give it a try as this is not available in North American KFCs. When in Asia, I just have to try a lot of fast food items.

Each one is pretty small and it is wither purple or yellow based on the sweet potato that is used. They are deep-fried but it isn’t too oily at all.

The inside is hollow and filled with more sweet potato of the other colour. When I bit into the yellow one, there was purple inside. Vice versa.

It wasn’t too early and had a decent bounce to the item. It’s easily shared among the table or you can eat it all yourself. If you haven’t had it before, it’s worth a try.

Starbucks Hong Kong: Chocolate Black Tea with Earl Grey Jelly Review

I love love love looking at different menu items at Starbucks all over the world and I just have to try the items not available in North America. When I was in Hong Kong, I had to try the Chocolate Black Tea with Earl Grey Jelly.

Looking at the big menus behind the counter doesn’t reveal the whole menu, so I like grabbing the smaller menus on the counter to see everything that they offer. My eyes were drawn to the Frappuccino Blended Beverages section for the Chocolate Black Tea with Earl Grey Jelly.

Chocolate Black Tea with Earl Grey Jelly

The earl grey jelly is on the bottom and then filled with the chocolate black tea frappè, then the whipped cream and powder on top. In Hong Kong, they have white paper straws instead of the regular green plastic ones.

The Earl Grey jelly doesn’t taste like it too much. It was very very subtle and it mostly just added texture to the drink. Kinda like grass jelly. The Chocolate Black Tea frappe was very nice and not too sweet. I quite liked it a lot. This drink reminded me of a bubble tea.

If you’re ever in Asia and you see this on the Starbucks menu, definitely give it a try.

McDonald’s Hong Kong: Black Sticky Rice Pie Review

A month ago, McDonald’s in Hong Kong launched the Black Sticky Rice Pie in stores. Black sticky rice is popularly used in Asian desserts often paired with mango and coconut milk. I’ve tried a lot of limited edition pies at McDonald’s around the world and I had to check it out. I personally find it very exciting, so I love to write reviews about these items.

The is black sticky rice pie is comprised of the classic McDonald’s handheld pie crust stuffed with a thick sticky rice filling. The exterior is nice and crisp. It pairs well with the filling inside and isn’t too thick or thin. A good ratio.

When you look at the filling, you can see the black rice inside that is essentially purple in colour. It is a touch on the sweet side, but still very enjoyable. I would definitely order this again. The size isn’t that large, so it’s easily consumed in a few bites.

KFC Hong Kong: Egg Tart with Red Bean and Mochi Review

KFC Hong Kong just launched a new egg tart just for Hong Kong with Red Bean and Mochi. It is Japanese-inspired because of the use of the 2 ingredients. My friend told me to check it out and I just had to as it was close to where I’m staying.

You can get it ala carte or you can get it as a set. I went with just 1 to see if I would like this or not. It’s only available for a limited time only.

They have Hokkaido Tokachi red bean and Japanese mochi in the centre of the egg tart. Then it is topped it with a marshmallow and a touch of matcha powder. I found that the marshmallow is too overpowering that it takes away from the mochi and red beans. They definitely could have used more mochi and red bean too.

This was definitely a miss and I wouldn’t order it again.

Jenny’s Bakery: A True Hong Kong Treat

Jenny's Bakery Hong Kong

A visit to Hong Kong is incomplete without a visit to Jenny’s Bakery. It is very famous among locals and tourists. Their original location is in the Stanley Market, but have since open many more locations throughout Hong Kong. They have 5 other locations, so you don’t need to travel so far for their cookies.

They speak English, Cantonese, and Mandarin so you don’t need to fear if you don’t know how to order.

Jenny's Bakery Hong Kong

Getting to Jenny’s Bakery can be a bit of a challenge if you don’t know Hong Kong very well, you kinda need to follow some weird route to get there. Most of the locations are located inside a building, so it’s best to have clear directions to that place…or Google Street view it before hand.

Jenny's Bakery Hong Kong

8 Mix Box (Small – $95 HKD | Medium –  $150 HKD) contains:

  • Coffee Almond
  • Cashew Nut
  • Almond Poppyseed
  • Hazelnut Macadamia
  • Walnut
  • Pistachio
  • Mixed Nuts
  • Chocolate Chip/Cashew/Walnut

I love nuts, so I usually get this box. Once you take a bite out of these cookies, you know why people rave about them. the texture and the ingredients are so delicious.

4 Mix Box (Small – $60 HKD | Medium  – $110) contains:

  • Shortbread
  • Butter
  • Coffee
  • Oatmeal Raisin

This version doesn’t contain nuts, but may contain traces of nuts…so if you have a friend allergic to nuts, you probably don’t want to get them this.

Jenny's Bakery Hong Kong

They make a great gift when bringing it back to Canada. I bought 10 boxes to bring home and it sure did consume my whole suitcase, but it was worth it.

I Love Cake Store
In Specialty Shop

I Love Cake Store: Hong Kong

I Love Cake Store

In Hong Kong, there are a bunch of hidden specialty shops that cater to a particular niche. There are so many that are hard to find  since they aren’t that easy to search on Google. People mostly depend on ‘word of mouth’ and that’s how they get popular. People tell people and with so many people in Hong Kong, word does spread fast.

If people need a place to find cake moulds or ingredients to do their baking, most people know to head here for a particular ingredient.

I Love Cake Store

This shop is hidden on Shanghai street among other cooking related stores. There are even some other places selling huge crock pots for industrial use.

I Love Cake Store

This place is for people who bake at home. There are so many cookie cutters and other gadgets. if you want a Hello Kitty waffle iron…you will probably find it here.

I Love Cake Store

If you are looking into making cute cakes, chocolates or ice cubes, there are a ton of silicon moulds. I bought a few to bring home since the prices aren’t bad at all.

I Love Cake Store

They also have edible paints and different liquors to add to your cake.

I Love Cake Store

Of course your delectable treats need packaging, so they have pouches, bags, and different containers available too. If you are a tourist like me who likes baking, come here to stock up! It’s so much cheaper! I bought a lot of lollipop sticks and chocolate moulds.

I Love Cake Store

There are other cool shops along this street, so make sure you check them out! I Love Cake isn’t a super large store, but they have a lot of different products. I’d definitely come again and buy a few more items.

Cafe de Coral: Hong Kong Fast Food

Cafe de Coral is the largest Chinese Fast Food Chain in Hong Kong. They were founded in 1968 and now has over 150 locations and still growing. It’s cheap and the service is very quick. Sometimes your meal will be ready in less than a minute.

Their menu is on the wall, if you can’t read Chinese, there are corresponding numbers to the items, and pictures! There are so many items, good luck if you are indecisive.

You order at the front of the restaurant and then wait in line till your order is ready. It’s like McDonalds 2.0 but with Chinese food.

Baked Spaghetti with Meat Sauce looked like it was just reheated. It tasted ok, but it needed more sauce. Once you mix this all together, you’ll realize there isn’t any sauce on the bottom.

Fish Fillet with steamed vegetables and rice is pretty sad looking. By looking at it, you know it’s just going to taste OK. Nothing inspiring here.

Salted Egg, chicken wings, pork sausage, BBQ pork on rice is where it’s at! If you stick with the BBQ meat items, you can’t go wrong. The quality isn’t super amazing, but it’s pretty good for the price.

Overall, you kinda get what you pay for at Cafe de Coral. It’s not the best food, but it’s quick and convenient. There’s a trade off there. I myself would prefer going to McDonalds instead, but everyone is a little different right?

Have you been here? Did you like it?

Sushi One: Japanese Food in Hong Kong

Sushi One is a chain of Japanese restaurants in Hong Kong. We were shopping in the Tuen Mun area and decided to stop here for Japanese food. I’ve been craving for some sushi since Japanese is my all time favorite cuisine. If I go a week without Japanese food, I may just fall apart.

There are about 5 restaurants around Hong Kong since 2005.

The interior is cozy. You can sit at the booths or at the counter.

The menu is located online here: http://sushione.com.hk/product1-set-tm1.php?lang=

There is also a moving sushi belt, but the sushi is a bit expensive.

It looks like scoops of green tea, but it’s wasabi!

Ebi Tempura comes with 4 pieces and a sauce on the side.

2 Wagyu Beef nigiri and 2 uni nigiri.

The Wagyu Beef nigiri tasted OK, but they would have added something else to bring out the flavour of the meat.

The Uni Nigiri took a long time to arrive. It also seemed like it was just thawed out too. Not very fresh and then texture was very different.

Curry Pork Cutlet over Rice ($45) wasn’t very good. It was so hard to finish too.

Chawan mushi is a Japanese steamed egg pudding that comes with every meal. It’s really delicious and savory!

Assorted Sashimi over Rice ($55) comes with chawanmushi too. SO beautiful when it arrived at the table. It was delicious too. The sashimi wasn’t as good as what you would find in Vancouver, but still you get a good amount of items in this bowl.

Overall, the dishes can be a hit or a miss, but their lunch menu is decently priced and you will get full.

Burger King Hong Kong: Mushroom SwissTender Grill Chicken Panini

My last meal in Hong Kong was at the Hong Kong International Airport eating at Burger King. There really wasn’t anything good to eat in the area. My parents wanted drinks and I just wanted a sandwich. I know airplane food can be crap, so I needed something decent tasting.

Minute Maid Orange Juice

Fries, Coffee, and Tea

Mushroom Swiss Tender Grill Chicken Panini has mushrooms, swiss cheese, mayo, tomato and lettuce in a bun. It sure wasn’t a panini since it doesn’t have the toasted grill marks. The sandwich tasted alright, but it’s nothing too amazing.

Overall, pretty meh sandwich.

Have you been to a Burger King overseas? Any cool items you’ve encountered?

Sai Kung Cafe & Bakery: Cookies, Pineapple Buns, and Poo-shaped Cakes

Sai Kung Cafe and Bakery (西貢咖啡餅店) is known for their fresh egg tarts and pineapple buns. During the busy season, they can sell up to 1,000 egg tarts a day. There are lots of hungry people on the weekend that will line up to have those 2 items.

When we were just eating lunch in the Sai Kung area, my aunt just had to get a few pineapple buns…as the foodie that I am, I had to get a few random items from this bakery to try later.

They have some crazy cakes on display! There’s one shaped like poo and another one like a hedgehog. Cute and unique.

Loaf of Walnut Bread was a bit dry.

Pineapple bun (sorry its’ butchered) It was cut up before I could take a picture. It wasn’t as good as right out of the oven from the shop. If you want to taste this at it’s finest, eat it when you get it from the shop.

Horlick and Walnut Cookies were very cute. The taste was OK, but the texture of the cookie was really hard.

Chocolate and Walnut Cookie was hard as well but the flavour was ok.

Overall, the baked good are alright and nothing super amazing. The main stars of Sai Kung Cafe and Bakery is the egg tarts and pineapple buns. All the western items they make aren’t spectacular.

Prawn Noodle Shop: Getting Laksa in Hong Kong

Prawn Noodle Shop in Wan Chai is where my Grandpa took us for lunch when we were strolling through the Wan Chai area. They serve Malaysian and Singaporean dishes, but mostly just noodle dishes.

The interior was small and the shop got quite busy during peak hours. The restaurant is located half way between Admiralty MTR and Wan Chai MTR. You need to do a little bit of walking, but it isn’t too bad. You will want to walk to get a taste of their noodles.

Coke

Iced Coffee

Mushroom and Sliced Chicken Noodle

Laksa Seafood Noodle

Prawn and Meat Noodle in Creamy Soup

Overall, all the dishes were awesome. It has the homey taste and the quality is there. I would probably eat this all the time if I could. If you are in Hong Kong, definitely check it out.

Din Tai Fung: Michelin Star Restaurant in Hong Kong

Din Tai Fung is an award winning restaurant from Taiwan. There are branches all over the world. Din Tai Fung has been around since 1958 and then in the 1980s they began selling Xiao Long Bao, which made them very popular.

The location in Hong Kong is located in Tsim Tsa Tsui in Silvercord and has won a Michelin Star. Also, Open Rice has awarded them Best Restaurant Award of 2012.

It is popular amongst locals and tourists. I came here since I heard they had the best steamed pork buns. I actually came here about 4 times during my Summer vacation. I was crazy addicted to this place.

The interior is nice and has lots of seats. When we came around 11am, it was quite empty.

By 1:20pm, this place was PACKED. It’s best to come here around noon since there will be tables left.

Soy Sauce and Vinegar is at the table and you can use it to flavour your dishes.

I added the soy sauce and vinegar in my ginger for the Pork dumpling.

Juicy Pork Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) are so good! We had to order a few baskets to satisfy our cravings.

Vegetarian Dumpling was another one of my favorites. I know it doesn’t have meat, but it really enjoyed the minced vegetables inside.

Shrimp and Pork Sui Mai was OK. I really didn’t take a liking to it that much because of the overcooked shrimp.

Drunken Chicken was good. There was a good amount of meat between the skin and bone.

Shanghai Smoked Fish wasn’t our favorite item. It had bones inside.

Drunken Chicken Feet with marinated vegetables is not for everyone. It has a bit of alcoholic wine taste to it, but some people love it.

Shredded Vegetable and Tofu has a touch of sesame oil. I really like this dish since I have a bit of an addiction to sesame oil.

Hollow Spinach in Garlic 

Marinated Jelly Fish

Pork Jelly

Shrimp Fried Rice is yummy too but it is a bit small, so you may need to order more. It was a little bit oily, but I really liked it since there is so much filling in it.

Braised tripe was good, but its not for everyone. Some people may get scared of the look.

Large Hot & Sour Soup was my favorite soup! Yum!

Pork Slices with garlic sauce 

 Wonton Soup

Noodle with Minced Pork Sauce

Braised Beef Noodle Soup

Fried Beancurd Puff with Vermicelli Soup

Overall, all the dishes were pretty good. One of my favorite restaurants when visiting Hong Kong. When you come here, you must have the Steamed Pork Buns! Its the one thing that everyone orders.

Kee Tsui Cake Shop 奇趣餅家: Traditional Chinese Bakery

Kee Tsui Cake Shop is located on Fa Yuen Street. They are not any regular cake shop, they specialize in traditional Chinese pastries and cakes. It is family owned and has stayed that way that way.

They have gotten rave reviews from locals and tourists. Also, they won the Best Restaurant Awards in 2012 from Open Rice.

The shop is small and has tons of different baked goods.

A lot of the items created here give people a nostalgic feeling that brings them back to their childhood.

There aren’t too many traditional Chinese bakeries left since not that many people specialize in it anymore. By far, this is the best place to get these items.

We got a bunch of items to bring back home.

Called cows ears but I assure you the ingredients don’t include the ears of cows.

Egg Tarts

Little Chicken biscuits (Gai Jai Beng) that are savoury and chewy . It’s traditional and is often reminiscent of older style snacks that we don’t often see much of anymore.

Sweetheart Cakes (lo por beng)

Glutinous rice cakes with red bean filling (siu beng)

Guong Soo Beng is a traditional snack that goes back about 300 years. It’s like a dry biscuit. They have it in a smaller version, or the large version below.

Overall, this place is great if you grew up with these items as a kid. Probably would make gifts for the grandparents too. My grandpa said eating these items from Kee Tsui Cake Shop really reminded him of his childhood.

We even went in the typhoon to visit the shop.

Yokozuna 橫綱 : Long Lineup For Ramen in Hong Kong

Yokozuna may be a name of a famous wrestler, but in Hong Kong, it’s a place where everyone goes for ramen. It’s located in Yau Ma Tei. It has long line ups during lunch and dinner. The interior is quite small and can only fit about 20 people inside.

When I came here, there was already a line up. We waited around for about 20 minutes before we could be seated.

We started off with milk tea. It comes as iced tea and then you can mix in the liquid sugar and cream to turn it into milk tea.

I don’t trust myself mixing things since I never get the right measurements to make a perfect milk tea. It tasted alright, but not amazing. Not sure if it was me or the tea.

 

Sakura Shrimp Ramen in Shoyu Broth. The ramen is quite big and there are combo options where you can order a small rice and drink to go with it. My friend the ramen tasted really good and definitely worth the price.

Korean BiBimBap was served here, which was a bit random since its supposed to be Japanese food. It was really weird and wasn’t very good.

Pork Ramen in a Spicy soup was really good! There was a lot of meat, corn and bean sprouts. Definitely go with spicy if you can since it gives it a nice flavour.

Overall, we enjoyed our meal here. Despite the long lines, its worth getting some ramen here. Just make sure you try to avoid the crazy hours or line up early.

Super Star Seafood Restaurant 鴻星海鮮酒家: Eating Air, Land and Sea Animals

Super Star Seafood Restaurant was founded in 1989 and have since expanded numerous locations in Hong Kong, Japan and China. We came here with my parents family friends.

It’s popular place to dine and serves up seafood Cantonese style.

It was really packed at night and reservations are definitely needed. The service was really poor for our table since we sat right under an air conditioner. We asked several times for the management to try to turn down the A/C or find an alternative table. After a few servers said they would check on it, no one did. Our food went cold fast and we got so cold too. It wasn’t until the end of our meal when the manager believed that there was something wrong.

Crispy Whitebait and Peanuts came complementary to the table. They are super crispy and its a great snack to munch on as the rest of the meal arrives.

Stir Fried Zucchini and Prawns

The soup that arrived was a clear broth made of chicken and other items.

The separate contents of the soup, so you can eat the other ingredients that make up the soup.

This platter contains cold jelly fish, tofu, crispy pork, BBQ pork and cold pork hock.

Vegetables and seafood in a savory egg sauce

Fried Rice

Steamed Fish

Braised duck stuffed with meat and soy beans

Braised mushrooms and bok choy

Deep Fried Seafood mayo cake

Longevity Buns is a Chinese steamed bun in the shape of a peach.

Red bean dessert

Overall, the food was OK, but the service was terrible. I prefer the original Nathan road location.

Tung Kee Seafood & Restaurant 通記海鮮野味酒家: Seafood Dinner is Sai Kung

We took a trip to Sai Kung district, which is Hong Kong’s 2nd largest district. We specifically went to Sai Kung town where it is mostly a fisherman town.It’s a popular place for seafood lovers! It’s very popular for tourists and locals. Even Anthony Bourdain came here for seafood.

You can find fresh seafood!

Even “peeing shrimp” that are in plastic bottles are sold. I’m not exactly why they are all in bottle, but there must be a good reason.

You can see local fishermen fish for seafood!

You can see people fishing…and even bring your own fishing rod too!

Since we were on the search for amazing seafood, my relatives took us to Tung Kee Seafood & Restaurant 通記海鮮野味酒家 to try a various selection of seafood. We actually had no idea what to order, so we asked the restaurant to make us enough for 9 people under a certain price per person.

Bottled Coke

Bottled Cream Soda

Chicken Feet

Fried and braised fish

Steamed Chicken

Calamari

Abalone

Lobster and crab with noodles

Deep Fried Oysters

Deep Fried Peeing Shrimp

Fried Rice

Scallops and vermicelli

Vegetables

Overall, we had a lot of great dishes. We were able to taste the fresh varieties of seafood from this area. The prices were fair and we all left super super full.
