| - Apparently, Hot Star is really popular in Taiwan. I decided to give it a try to see what the rave is all about. We ordered the original fried chicken in the seaweed flavour, and to be honest, it tasted quite bland. I could barely taste the seaweed flavour at all. It might be because they only sprinkled a bit of seaweed seasoning on one side of the chicken? I haven't tried it, but I would presume the pepper salt flavour tastes better. Don't get me wrong though- the chicken itself was still very crispy and satisfying! I like that there was just the right amount of breading (unlike KFC, where there's more breading than chicken). But I still don't think it's worth the $10.
We also tried the fried king oyster mushroom. DO NOT GET THIS! The mushrooms did taste good and not too salty, but for the minimal number of pieces you get, it is definitely not worth $4.99.
As for wait time, we got our order in about 15 minutes. We went during a busy time, so we also had to wait a bit for seating.
Overall, I'm glad I tried this place, but I would probably not be returning any time soon.
