I always thought that Popeye's Spinach is a smart marketing strategy to get children to eat spinach, or for that matter, any vegetables at all -- There may be some nutritional references lying somewhere. It's a wonder why a store named Popeye has no spinach dishes at all. But for a famous shop that sells Southern (Southern part of the States) food, featuring Fried Chicken and Biscuits, I've had some pretty good chicken pieces there, but not in Hong Kong.Biscuits, however, remained something dear
Biscuits, however, remained something dear to my heart. Buttermilk biscuits are supposed to be fluffy and moist inside, with a whiff of buttery aroma exploding into the air as one tears a biscuit apart. On a trip to the airport for work, I walked past Popeyes with equal part of thrill and expectation, to re-enter the realm of biscuit butteriness. I stopped right at the entrance, not sure if I was up for that, or was I setting myself up for some sort of disappointment?
Ordering a box of biscuits was easy -- packing them into a small enough box wasn't. After considerable tucking in, the biscuits all settled in. Popeyes served no jams, only to be replaced by packets of honey. Squeezing the amber gel onto freshly packaged biscuits, the feathery inside of the biscuit was flavored with butter, but ever so light in texture. It's extra sweet with the addition of honey, but frankly it needed no more than a quick bite into the great biscuit. The chicken may not be as good as the ones served in the States, but the biscuits kept the standards on the other side of the world.
So no, there was no disappointment on the biscuits alone, and looking over at some tourists munching into giant pieces of deep-golden crunchy fried chicken and frowned, I felt lucky enough to have just the biscuits, as I considered the better half of Popeyes, at least here in Hong Kong it is.
