Mos Burger

The feast
Ebi-katsu burger

Naan burger with shrimp and curry


Side salad


Mos Burger
Several locations across Hong Kong

Notes:
B and I had missed a visit to infamous Mos Burger during our Japan trip and were thus pleasantly surprised to see that the Japanese chain also had outlets in Hong Kong. We went there for a no-fuss dinner and decided to compile our own tasting menu to test the menu. We were however a bit disappointed to see that none of the rice burgers were featured on the HK menu. We were however rather pleased with the food. The ebi-katsu burger was quite grease but I really enjoyed the shrimp patty. The seasonal naan burger with shrimp and curry was certainly a new concept to us but India savvy B gave it his stamp of approval. The teriyaki burger tasted also interesting - the teriyaki a bit too dominating for my taste so I only had a bite or two. All in all, we had a really good experience at Mos Burger. Naturally, this is fast food but I was impressed with the freshness of the ingredients - the salad was fresh and crunch and the meat actually tasted like meat. Of course it was all a tad greasy but if you're in the mood for stocking up on the grease account, Mos burger is recommended.

McDonalds India

Indian fast food aplenty
McDonalds
Globally yours - even in India

Notes:

Lets call this an experiment. We went into B's local McDonalds in Lajpat Nagar and ordered practically everything that is unavailable outside the borders of India. Oh yes, and fries... Our extensive fast food selection included the McVeggie (dull at best), McSpicy Paneer ("Cottage cheese" in a burger), McSpicy Chicken (way too much breading, surprisingly spicy), Veg Pizza McPuff (edible and extremely good value at just 10 rupees), McAloo Tikki (the children's favorite that goes into the Happy Meals) and of course the Chicken Maharaja (Indian BigMac equivalent). Quite a feast. I hardly ever frequent McDonalds, the only incentive for a visit being the occasional new McFlurry edition. This also left me unsurprisingly unsatisfied. I need beef in my burger! No need to say India will not provide you that - they even have a salad sandwich but I guess there is no need to say, we skipped that... Recommended. For the fun of it.
