I think I've ordered that at every dessert place we went to there and I'm serious haha. A good herbal jelly should taste bitter but not too overprocessed, like Jello. The honey or syrup you pour into it should be sweet enough to counteract the bitterness. The herbal jelly here was pretty good. Either that or I've had so much in the days before that my tastebuds can't tell the difference anymore. Nevertheless, it tastes better than any of the stuff back home (well, actually, I've never really come across herbal jelly when I am home; then again, I wasn't really looking). I know it definitely tastes better than the crap you can buy in little plastic cups at the supermarket though.
Oh yeah, the thing that got me super excited here was the fact that they have deep fried spicy salty chicken knee. I became obsessed in trying to find a place that serves this here so I can taste what this was all about after a friend asked if I had tried this in HK while I was there and I hadn't so I became super disappointed. And now, I FINALLY get to try it. Yayyyyy! And I wasn't super disappointed with how it tastes either. It was good. Basically, you know the part of the chicken bone that is white and around the joint area? If you eat chicken like I do and finish off every single bit and piece that you are able to chew on, like this white soft bony part, then you know exactly what I am talking about. Well, pretty much, they take this piece off separately and coat with the same breading they use for spicy salty calamari (I KNOW you've had that) and voila! You get spicy, salty chicken knee (or soft bone). And it tastes delicious! Mmm nom nom nom!
Only minus about this place is that we went after dinner, at night, so it was packed and we had to wait for a table. And there wasn't that many inside to begin with. How dare they make me wait to satisfy my craving for spicy salty chicken knee! Minus 1-star for that!
