When I was in 香港 / Hong Kong, I had some of what has become one of my favorite styles of fried chicken, 大雞排(大鸡排)XXL Fried Chicken from 豪大 / Hot Star.
After coming back to the USA, my partner and I missed the chicken that we had and decided to make some for ourselves. The batter is made with tapioca and potato flour and is thus gluten-free. The spice on the chicken is a mixture of椒鹽(椒盐)/ spiced salt, paprika, 花椒粉 / Chinese "prickly ash,"五香粉 / chinese five-spice, and capsaicin powder.
This picture is from one of the most recent times that we made it at home, using chicken thighs instead of chicken breast.
The recipe we originally followed can be found here (this is not our site), but we tend to mess around with recipes we like and make food by sight and taste.

OJT EATS | Mr. Ji (again)
One of our first post lockdown meals was at Mr Ji in Soho (read about that meal here). It had been a while since we’d been and having noticed that they have a new menu, we headed on down to give it a go.
These things were the wings. Chicken wings stuffed with a mixture of prawn and pork, covered with a yoghurt and crab sauce. These were not bad at all; they were essentially prawn and pork meatballs covered in chicken skin. The sauce was very tasty as well. I feel like they were a little on the small side for the price but ignoring that, a very nice little small plate.
Mr Ji’s version of tacos. Braised pigs head on dumpling skin wrappers and a pickled cucumber salad. This was so good! The braised pigs head had that amazing gelatinous texture that you get when you braise it down and a really deep flavour from the sauce it was braised in. A very impressive addition to the menu.
A couple of the items did survive from the old menu and (in my opinion) this dish luckily was one of them. The “Prawn in toast” was a nice little play on the classic prawn toast with a deep fried brioche filled in with a creamy prawn sauce and then covered with a massive amount of grated parmesan. This was as good as it was the first time we went. Still a must-order dish here.
Another item that stayed on the menu was the O’Ji, a fried chicken breast battered and fried pretty much to perfection with picallily mayo and golden kimchee. Again, a good decision to keep this on the menu; partly as this is their signature dish and partly because it is so good. This is as close to an accurate representation of what you can get in Taiwan as I’ve found in London (Good Friend comes pretty close too) - although the mayo and the kimchee is far from authentic.
To go with the O’Ji, we ordered a salad of cured tofu, carrot, daikon and chilli. Nothing too exciting but a lovely refreshing salad that went well with the rest of the meal.
The small plates here are definitely that - small but they are all pretty tasty. Maybe not the best place to go if you are hungry and on a budget but if you’re looking for a light meal or a snack, there are some gems on the menu here that are definitely worth a visit.
Mr Ji, 72 Old Compton Street, London, W1D 4UN
Cheers, JL

Mum only wants to eat the same tried and tested foods every time we went out but me and my trusty camera like to experience new dishes. We both love Feng Food (台湾味 “丰”) which sells Taiwan-style foods so that is a compromise.
Yeah, mum went for the same old Guan Miao Mian with Specially Marinated Pork Chop (猪排关庙面) at S$12.80+. Between this and the fried rice version, I preferred the latter as I am the “rice bucket” kind of guy. :D The pork chop is flavourful with the ginger seasoning coming through and the meat so tender and juicy.
As for me, I picked this limited Sunrise Crispy Chicken Cutlet Rice (日出鸡腿排饭). Limited as in they only have a fixed number of this S$13.80+ dish to sell each day. A big piece of boneless chicken leg fried crispy occupied one half of the bowl. The white rice is drizzled with the gravy from their braised pork and topped with an over easy egg. Coupled with two side dishes of pickled cucumbers and vegetables to complete the dish. Just from looking at it already makes your mouth waters.

Crispy Burger Meal
Love to enjoy fast food meal at a small business. Fried chickens are crispy and freshly cooked. Spicy flavour is the best. Chicken sandwich has many ingredients with flavourful sauce. Grilled chicken and Taiwanese sausage taste juicy. Fulfilling meal than popular chains. Okay to have once in a while. From “Crispy Burger”.

Point number one: Japan is not immune to “Asian font” or uncomfortable exoticization of Asian cultures.
Point number two: These are fucking DELICIOUS and if I see them again, I will buy them immediately, and you should too. Taiwanese jipai spiced fried chicken crunchy snacks, chef’s kiss emoji

(via Fried Chicken with Imperial Sauce) Our chicken wing marinade has a little bit of everything: buttermilk, cayenne, five-spice powder, dried ginger and garlic, mustard, and even some curry powder.

Family’s Intro to Fat Fook at Robinsons Galleria
When you’re planning where to eat for the family’s Saturdate, and you consider the varied tastes and preferences of your family members, sometimes you just need to put your foot down, dictate where you want to eat and hope it pays off.
And sometimes, it does.
The fam’s lunch took place at the newly opened Fat Fook at Robinsons Galleria. It’s one of two existing branches in the Metro Manila,…

Class 302, 8855 Apollo Way #224, Downey, CA 90242
I first visited Class 302 many years ago in Rowland Heights. They were known for their shaved snow at that time and their Taiwanese food. I remember really enjoying my first visit. Later, they opened other locations including several with self-serve boba drinks. They still offered Taiwanese food and kept the Taiwanese elementary classroom-inspired décor.
Class 302 Downey has self-serve milk tea and smoothies with toppings (jellies, popping boba, boba), rice dishes, noodle dishes, and snacks. I like how you can build your own combo meal ($14.50). They dropped their famous shaved snow.
Popcorn chicken and meat over rice combo ($14.50): Generous portions! The popcorn chicken (extra spicy) was decent but a bit dry and a bit salty. It had the typical Chinese seasoning, crunchy batter and fried basil leaves. The meat over rice was different than I expected. It wasn’t braised minced pork (the typical Taiwanese dish) but the ground pork, pork floss (rousong), tea egg, mustard greens, pickled radish and steamed broccoli over rice had Taiwanese flavors and was very filling.
The milk tea is already made so you can’t adjust the sweetness. Since milk tea is usually way too sweet for me, I don’t find self-serve milk tea at all appealing.
The elementary school theme is cute. There are a few tables outside as well as their indoor seating. Order at the counter. The buzzer will sound when your order is ready.
3.5 out of 5 stars
