Chips Republic Café (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★☆☆

I was off this afternoon and instead of collecting dust at home, I decided to go to Elements to check out a few books before dinner at Tosca.



My bookstore visit finished a little earlier than expected and there was still another hour to kill before dinner. Conventional wisdom told me it's time for a little snack and perhaps something thirst quenching to go with it.



I have really come to enjoy what Chips Republic Café has to offer in terms of variety (think burgers, fries, fish & chips etc.). Their bread and butter has always been their burgers but they have some really funky fries too.  



This is a new item on their menu - cajun coated prawns, homemade aioli sauce on golden fried chips ($55). The key was the homemade aioli sauce that was so good.



They have also got the most impressive collection of milkshakes in the city, ranging the all-time classics (chocolate, vanilla, banana and strawberry) to some of the more unusual flavors (blueberry, mint chocolate, green tea and Bailey's VC). When it comes to milkshakes, I am a little less adventurous, so I ended up taking the caramel shake ($42). It was pretty rich and creamy. Not as strong as the one from Double D but nevertheless very fulfilling.
