Why would I get French food in Hong Kong? It just really didn't make sense to me at first. Well,…read moreI've been back more times than I can remember and I've gone through a few of their stamp cards to get free quiche or chocolate cake so I guess my question was moot. While the chicken is good and getting the meal is a quick and relatively healthy swap for when I don't feel like cooking. I'm a big fan of their baguettes, the chicken sandwich that comes on the baguette as well as just buying a couple of loaves if I feel like splurging on eating carbs. The sandwich is a tasty well prepared little thing-it kind of reminds me of the mini subs that Blimpy's used to have but packed with a a lot of chicken and veggies. The potatoes are also a favorite side dish of mine but a few people have said it's a little too greasy because it's cooked in chicken juice. The only real complaint I have is that the servings are usually pretty small-like most places in HK. I end up buying the dinner for four deal for two people.

Amidst the noodles and the dim sum is this tiny takeaway place that serves...French roast chicken??…read moreI don't know what makes this place so French, other than the fact it's run by a French guy. We have roast chicken back in Canada too. But damn, it was good chicken and the sides were delish! No Swiss Chalet baby chicken and bland veggies here. It's becoming clearer to me that HK isn't the cheap food haven as I was led to believe. Still, La Rotisserie is rather reasonable. On the weekends, 1/4 chicken + 2 sides is priced at HKD $86 (CAD $15). Weekday lunch sets include 1/4 chicken + 1 side + drink for HKD $68 (CAD $12). They also take Octopus. I was kinda surprised at the price discrepancy between locations though. I recently moved so this Sai Ying Pun La Rotisserie isn't very accessible to me anymore. I'm still close to Wan Chai, but that one bumps its lunch special price to HKD $78. I know that area is a work-centric, rich expat-filled area, but I'm an expat on a budget!!! Every dollar counts! Regardless, it was still really, really good chicken. It was moist, the roasting was flavourful, and the portion was very reasonable. They also topped the chicken with a drizzle of chicken gravy and a sprinkling of fresh ground pepper. You got to choose between chicken breast or leg and they had 3 side dish options. For my two sides, I picked roasted potatoes and roasted vegetables (the last was some sort of couscous thing). The veggies were great and were a mixture of sweet carrots, broccoli, and squash. The potatoes were nicely cooked and even better when soaked in the chicken gravy. For a Hong Konger who grew up in the West and is craving a bit of the West in Hong Kong, La Rotisserie fulfills that craving with amazing chicken. The Sai Ying Pun location is mainly a takeaway store with a couple of bar stools, so don't expect a comfortable dine-in experience. As with most shops, it's completely open on one side onto the street, which really maximizes its impact. The whole store is practically spilling its seductive aroma and hitting everyone within a 5 meter radius. It's like crack to an addict and La Rotisserie is the best dealer around. (28/100) - 2017

Food: 4.25 stars Value: 4.5 stars Overall: 4.25 stars Recommendations: Hot chicken sandwich I had the New Orleans hot chicken sandwich. Although, they got the name of the city wrong they did get the taste of the sandwich right. It's like the opposite of a deconstructed dish where all the components of a plate of Nashville hot chicken (white bread, pickles, and hot chicken) are assembled together instead of separate. The chicken is nice and moist and I did enjoy the softness of the white bread with that little bit of mayo. Looking forward to eating this sandwich again and is a real nice addition to the food scene here in Hong Kong.

First off, we must start off with the pork chop. It spans nearly the entire dish, and best of all, the bone only comprises a small portion of it! One of my annoyances when eating any protein with bone in it is when it lacks the protein itself--it feels like you've been ripped off. Cafe de Coral does not skimp though, no siree. This pork chop is not only massive, it is also juicy and succulent. On all three occasions, I have had enough pork chop to accompany my spoonfuls of rice from beginning to end. Next, let's turn to the sauce. The tomato-based sauce is on the sweeter side (but not sickly, and this is coming from a savoury-toothed person), and is thickened with a layer of melted cheese and generous portions of tomatoes, pineapples, and peas. Now, I normally prefer to have my tomatoes diced or thinly sliced, but the tomatoes here are roasted enough that they are soft to the touch, oozing out their sweet centres. Of course, you can't have Baked Pork Chop Rice without the rice, and I'm happy to report that the rice here is well-portioned to the sauce and ingredients given. I believe the rice has been lightly fried as well, which is a nice touch in addition to being baked. To wash down this food coma inducing meal, I must again recommend ordering an Iced Hong Kong Style Milk Tea. Although a drink is not included with this meal, it's hard to go wrong for an extra $10. Be warned though, the caffeine and sugar in it is unlikely to prevent you from dozing off later (or, at the very least, from feeling this heavy meal begin to digest in your stomach)...

Fact is it is cheap ( for lunch @central), "relatively" healthy and I love bread. What more can i say ! Although the daily special was taken away.

( you get six inch bread from the chosen menu and soft drink) I usually get the spicy Italian ( I reckon they put heaps of pepperoni and salami inside) .yum. On the side note if you want to eat something not on the $25 menu, I would recommend the meatball or chicken breast topped with sweet onion sauce :)
