I had suggested to CB to have dinner at Good Fortune tonight, but when we arrived, we noticed it was shut! They had decided to close for a month before the xmas rush! Slightly hungry and in the mood for Cantonese BBQ goodness, we walked down William St for another BBQ house.
Not even 5 minutes down the road was Hung Kee BBQ. Upon sitting down, a bowl of soup was put down, similar to one my Mum makes, consisting of some carrot, vegie (mum calls it sour vegetables, I don't know the name) and pork. Whilst not as good as Mum's (hers has dried scallops, a lot more pork meat .. yum!), it was still good to drink. I had it all as CB doesn't eat pork.
I placed my order of roast pork and rice, and within 2 or 3 minutes, I had been served. Whilst the place wasn't that busy, and the meat is precooked, I was still impressed. The pork was tender and had good fatty bits, although a little salty. The chilli had quite a good kick.
Overall, I like this place. Who doesn't like "free" soup? Whilst I wouldn't necessarily drive all the way to have it (Golden King BBQ in Morley is closer), it would be a toss between here and Good Fortune whenever I'm in Northbridge. Good Fortune does have really really good char siu though..... too many choices!
After golf, we had a quick pitstop at the Margaret River Chocolate Factory, just down the road from Mash Brewery / Supa Golf. Upon arrival, I helped myself to several handfuls of the button milk chocolate. Yum, it was good, but melted in my hands!
Before playing 9 holes at Supa Golf, we stopped at Mash Brasserie / Brewery for lunch. I went for the Open MSA Scotch Steak Sandwich, which contains: Balsamic Onions, Capel Cheddar, Rocket, Garlic Aioli, House Made Mild Spicy Tomato Sauce, and Beer Battered Chips taken from their menu.
So last week, I felt like Subway, to find a large queue. This week was a different story. The line was short, so I went for a Subway Melt, on Italian Herb bread, with cheddar cheese.
I used to think that the Classic Roast/Chicken Dinner from Red Rooster/Chicken Treat looked pretty good. I mean, who doesn't like roast chicken, roast potato & pumpkin, peas and gravy? I certainly do. However, when I finally got around to having it, I was quite disappointed. They should've called it "Salty gloop mess", because that's what it was. Salty chicken with salty gravy, with crummy potato, tasteless pumpkin and bland peas.
I placed my order of roast pork and rice, and within 2 or 3 minutes, I had been served. Whilst the place wasn't that busy, and the meat is precooked, I was still impressed. The pork was tender and had good fatty bits, although a little salty. The chilli had quite a good kick.
I was going to have Subway today, but after looking at the lines, I went for Japanese instead. I know I'm unadventurous with my pickings, but what is there not to love about karaage? Deep fried goodness...
I forgot my lunch this morning, so I had to grab something from around work. Not wanting to drive all the way to Cockburn Gateway, it only left Spearwood. Since I had an Ent Book voucher, I decided on "Mickey D's".
