Double cheese fried chicken
Bernard Y.

There has been so many Korean Fried Chicken places popping up and then popping out of Hong Kong again the past few years, I'll bet you could eat at a different KFC place every meal for two weeks and you still would only be in the Causeway Bay area. With quantity comes diversity, and then differentiation. Sodam Chicken is a quiet upstairs place near Times Square that differentiates itself by offering a plethora of creative Korean Fried Chicken flavors, and BAKED chicken. Karen L has covered the baked options which I deem worthy of a try, so I will cover fried chicken (I am ironically loyal to fried foods that will clog my arteries anyway). The selection is huge, BBQ Spicy, Garlic, Vanilla and on and on...The three of us ordered the Double Cheese Fried Chicken (HKD 158) and the Sweet and Sour Fried Chicken (HKD 158). These were lunch sets which included one drink per order, and both dishes came in portions of 10 pieces, so unless you have an enormous appetite or are a greedy bastard, it is better to share. They did a good job of battering and frying the morsels, because it was very crunchy and audibly loud between your jaws. It was the type of batter that would break off but you would still want to pick up and eat. The flavors were creative but not that outstanding, Sweet and Sour was standard sauce that was just lightly covering the chicken, and the double cheese was essentially just two types of cheese powders sprinkled on top, which was good to look at but was barely noticeable in flavor. The chicken was more lean than I'm used to in fried chicken, so there was a strange crunch-and-chew experience for me. It's definitely not bad, but not high on my scale either. One thing I must say is that the portions are very generous, and Sodam Chicken got me feeling Sodam full very quickly. Forgoing the Baked Chicken and creative menu options, I actually would opt for some other places that have less creative but more solid Korean Fried Chicken options, such as Moyo, Lee's or even Chom Chom Mi, which is not a specialised KFC place but does a spectacular version of it. Sodam has 3 Stars in my mind, but an extra star for the low prices and the baked chicken option that might help ease your guilt and keep the doctor away for another day.

La Rotisserie - Take away French chicken

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

Service: Good. Things came as requested and were quick to provide service we needed…read more View: waterfront in Kennedytown. Has seats by open window area that face that water Vibe: mostly Jason Mraz music. calm Food: -Mushrooms - good seasoning of herbs, but not salty enough -Mashed potatoes - good flavor, but too much butter -Ratatouille - quite simple in flavor, needs more substance in seasoning or flavoring -Ginger beer - too sweet and not enough ginger flavor or carbonation -Fish and chips (2) - Seabream and Monkfish, Both fish were well-fried with good flavor. Personally preferred the monkfish as it was a more unique flavor. The chips were good. Larger cut fries -Mixed basket: Oysters, crabcakes and calamari I had were quite good. Didn't try the baby fish in the basket. Overall, the entrees were better than the appetizers. Price per person for 4 people: $200 I'd return for the entrees, but reconsider the appetizer choices.

This is one of my favorite restaurants on the Kennedy Town Praya - one of the first restaurants I…read morewent to as an HKU baby freshman from the US. Before I became vegetarian I loved their chicken. It's a juicy rotisserie roast with crispy skin. Signature fish and chips are also delicious. Now, this is food I would eat back home! My favorite things to get: the sweet corn (sweet buttery corn), mashed potatoes, chicken consomme. Go during lunch for cheaper lunch sets. I believe this is the original location. Its got a beautiful view on a sunny day. Kennedy Town is one of the most underrated neighborhoods on the island. It's relatively quiet, getting more gentrified, and full of hipster Western restaurants. Restaurant is right up against the water. Dog friendly!

Rarely can you combine two amazing things and make it work…read more In this case, this strikes gold. Cheese known for its inviting nutty notes and umami tones combined with the ultimate soul food texture darling: fried chicken :: results in food heaven. Catching the ever growing Korean K Pop wave, BBQ Chicken ( note :: only fried chicken served despite the restaurant name) accompanied by dance videos on display while sounds of shattering crunch from crispy skin and moist chicken makes my senses sing. The service is attentive but seating is tight. I suggest the 10 piece order as the sweet savoury cheese flavour can be a bit heavy for my taste. Observational humour includes petite sized Chinese girls who have GIANT appetite reminding me that I just may FAIL waging my bets against them in a food eating contest. Side note: all time favourite is the olive house special fried chicken as my go to. Be ready to grow one of the fruits of the spirit, patience, as lines can average 30 minutes. After the meal, a walk around Causeway Bay reminds me how one traffic intersection equals the total amount of people I see in a week in a month in San Francisco. Stay warm happy happy holidays and don't EVER touch my fried chicken.

This place is ok, but you can get better food for half the price at countless restaurants around…read morethe area. You also have to pay a 10% service fee unlike the other restaurants, but you don't get much service. This place does serve alcoholic beverages. The ac was also really strong.
