Meeting a friend to watch Pacific Rim, had time to kill and a belly to fill.Ordered a Mushroom Burger with a side of fries (okay fine, chips), and a mintchocchip milkshake. I think this place does one thing really well, and other Hong Kong places should take note, USE ELECTRIC NOTIFIERS FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS FOR FOOD PICKUP/TABLE AVAILABILITY. Chips Republic gives you a little coaster size beeper to let you know when your food is ready: Anyway, picked up my order:Looked good! But the test, how was

Anyway, picked up my order:
Looked good! But the test, how was the food?Fries were nice, very crunchy on the outside, but perhaps a bit too moist inside, also they weren't very salty. Personally I prefer salt, and fat, but if you think McDonalds is too salty, maybe give these a try since they're more lightly salted.
The burger was interesting, a bit disappointing. The beef was peppered and salted, so there was a bit of a black pepper taste to it. Personally I found the beef to be overly salty. The patty itself was also a little on the thin side. The bun was good, it was buttered, but not too much like Triple O's does theirs.
Didn't take a picture of the shake, but it was very good. Smooth and creamy. Much better than the lard filled McDonalds shakes. Went back and got another one. Would definitely say it was one of the better shakes I've had in Hong Kong. No where near as good as my favorite place in the US, but hey, its not america is it.Overall: Would I go back? yes, because I did last week. It's right next to the cinema so its convenient. Their poutines are good, but I prefer NY Fries'.

Self-pickup. So, someone better hold your table.
