I'm from Vancouver, Canada, and was surprised to find that White Spot (and their more fast food oriented Triple O's locations) had opened in Hong Kong. Yeah, the BC burger with it's Triple O sauce was a staple of my youth, and remains a local favourite. The restaurant chain was started in the 20's by Nat Bailey in Vancouver, BC, and to this day there is still a baseball stadium named after him in Vancouver. A fun fact: In the 1950's, Bailey was being persuaded to switch over to "modern" frozen french fries, but it was actually my grandfather, who worked in the food supply business, who convinced him that fresh cut was still the only way to go, and all their fries are still cut fresh today. Thanks so much for the review, and for bringing back a few memories!<br /><br />-Hamishalgorithm18https://www.blogger.com/profile/18373007647614752737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903616918786253155.post-32467692424484168102009-12-09T01:32:40.460+08:002009-12-09T01:32:40.460+08:00@cheeky angel: really?

And whilst the fish was crispy on the outside and moist inside, the fish fillet was rather slim and seemed to be a little lost sandwiched between the generous layers of chopped lettuce. Boo though to the Shatin branch for only having strawberry milkshake the other night I stopped by and was seriously craving a blueberry shake.cheeky angelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903616918786253155.post-22988266029403190382009-11-26T10:48:03.856+08:002009-11-26T10:48:03.856+08:00@cheeky angel: I think it was my lucky day indeed ...@cheeky angel: I think it was my lucky day indeed haha, I will give the fish burger a try again to ensure its consistency in terms of quality because I also had some not-so-pleasant experiences with Triple O's before. :)Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07065954132923109958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903616918786253155.post-45101405913586462872009-11-26T01:38:51.610+08:002009-11-26T01:38:51.610+08:00Agree that that the PP branch seems to be able to ...Agree that that the PP branch seems to be able to retain their standard of service but the last time I had a burger from here, I wasn't impressed as I used to be - maybe I was just unlucky? However, given the raves about the fish, perhaps I should pass on the cow burger next time I go to Triple O's for a visit? <br /><br />I currently like BK for cow burgers and their fries are good too - very potatoey (although that could be cos they apparently use potato flour to make their fries, which is not quite right) but passable on the odd occasions, if push comes to shove.cheeky angelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903616918786253155.post-34890148987284720112009-11-25T14:27:55.265+08:002009-11-25T14:27:55.265+08:00@tinawongmc2005: yes indeed, I was surprised by th...@tinawongmc2005: yes indeed, I was surprised by the quality of the fish fillet, maybe it was my lucky day or perhaps because I was there pretty late and they have to prepare the burger to order because they used up all the prepared ones for the evening rush?) :)Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07065954132923109958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903616918786253155.post-58680895872394295902009-11-25T14:24:50.140+08:002009-11-25T14:24:50.140+08:00@cheeky angel: Among all their outlets, I still pr...@cheeky angel: Among all their outlets, I still prefer the one at Pacific Place.

I had a terrible experience at the TST branch (when they first opened) where the fries were soggy and the burger was rather pathetic. And the last couple of times at the Shatin branch, I've had very mediocre burgers compared to the ones I had when they only had a couple of branches in HK years ago.cheeky angelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903616918786253155.post-76709902347376598212009-11-24T23:56:01.566+08:002009-11-24T23:56:01.566+08:00triple o... #64 of 167 backlogs! hahaha! my favori...triple o... #64 of 167 backlogs! hahaha! my favorite is their mushroom burger. and yes, you should've ordered a milkshake! a triple o meal is never complete without it. strawberry and blueberry for me!Jinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10398822895310571362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903616918786253155.post-66810866861836032242009-11-24T11:07:07.847+08:002009-11-24T11:07:07.847+08:00@Mochachocolata: humm ... perhaps Monster Burger!?...@Mochachocolata: humm ... perhaps Monster Burger!? :)Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07065954132923109958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903616918786253155.post-25237537125191016642009-11-24T09:41:01.269+08:002009-11-24T09:41:01.269+08:00hehehe...triple o...you've tempted me to hop a...hehehe...triple o...you've tempted me to hop and skip to PP at lunch time...hmm...ah! maybe i'll try another burger instead...guess where?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02172010778899777034noreply@blogger.com
