Readers of a certain vintage will most likely be familiar with the name Nicholas Tse -- Hong Kong singer, actor, and lately, food aficionado.
His latest collaboration in the food arena involves another mega player, McDonald's Hong Kong, resulting in a special menu inspired by comfort food from his childhood.
Here's a promotional video featuring Tse:
Called "My Taste of Hong Kong", Tse's menu features familiar flavours from traditional cha chaan teng (tea restaurants) and Hong Kong street foods.
Extensive six-item menu
So, what can you get besides a place mat with Tse's handsome face? A rather extensive six-item menu:
- Bolognese & Fried Egg Angus Beef Burger
- Fried Onion Crispy Pork Cutlet Burger
- Siew Mei (Hong Kong style roast meat) -flavoured Shake Shake Fries
- Typhoon Shelter Crab-flavoured Shake Shake Fries
- Cookie & Milk Tea McFlurry ice cream
- Tropical Orange Punch
Here's a promotional poster featuring Tse, presumably hard at work assembling the Angus beef burger:
Here are the Siew Mei-flavoured Shake Shake Fries and Tropical Orange Punch:
All items (except the pork cutlet burger and the crab-flavoured Shake Shake Fries) have been released.
The remaining two items will be released in the coming weeks, according to 8 Days.
What the food looks like in real life:
Promotional photos always look good, but does the food really match up at ground zero?
We went onto Instagram to check them out under the hashtag #鋒味 - a wordplay on the Tse's Chinese name and the Chinese phrase for "taste".

If you're heading to Hong Kong anytime soon, this will probably be the closest you'll ever get to Tse. Enjoy!
