Bubble tea from Gong Cha @Mongkok


Most of the times there's a long queue outside the stall (even during non peak hour and rainy weather) but I was lucky there were just a few people standing in line when I got there.

I ordered Gong Cha's signature beverage "Pearl Milk Tea".
Gosh, the cup was giant! The tea tasted good, texture wise it was smooth and the
boba balls were very chewy, I loved it to every sip! Probably the yummiest bubble tea I've ever had! ^_^ Only HKD12 for such a large cup, really worth the price!
I managed to finish the entire cup, though I was full for hours, as a result I skipped my dinner and had late night snack instead :p

Lan Fong Yuen @Tsim Sha Tsui

I didn't know Lan Fong Yuen opened a new branch in Tsim Sha Tsui until a friend suggested to have tea break there today :)


Love the old Hong Kong style cha chaan teng interior so much ^.^




The bun with butter and condensed milk tasted delicious!

Tsat Hay Noodle and Congee House @Wanchai

Signature "Yi mein noodle soup with shrimps in satay sauce" was scrumptious! Meaty shrimps with springy yi mein noodle basted with robust satay sauce! I just loved it to every bite!!

Fresh fish skin is a real delicacy. It's not as common and popular as the deep-fried version but definitely worth trying....of course if you're not yucked by the look of it :P It might not look appetizing (some say it reminds them of snake skin) nevertheless it's very crunchy and tasty!

Street snacks @ Mongkok

After our delicious dinner @Crystal Jade and dessert @Moon Kee in Causeway Bay, we headed back to Mongkok. On our way to Gold Fish Street, we passed by a street stall and since my friend from Holland has never eaten egg puffs before, I bought her a packet to try. She loved them!

Egg puffs, waffles,...


Street-side stall selling all kinds of skewered snacks: curry fish balls, meat balls, big squids, sausage, pig intestines, pig stomach, takoyaki balls,...

May Wong Fish Ball Noodle @ Wanchai

Before our coffee class started, we went to May Wong Fish Ball Noodle shop to try their fish balls and both me and my friend had the assorted fish ball rice vermicelli soup. The portion was quite big and @HK$22 only!


Light dinner, yummy & chewy fish balls with rice vermicelli ^_^

Yan Wo Soy Bean Shop, Mongkok

For a healthy and delicious snack, why not swing by Yan Wo and indulge yourself in a bowl of heavenly tofu pudding that's silken smooth and fresh? Only 10HK$ a bowl!

Yellow sugar


Yan Wo sells all kinds of soy bean products such as plain and hot tofu cheese (preserved tofu). When my mum cooks congee I either flavor it with olive cabbage or tofu cheese and since we have never tried their preserved tofu we bought a jar before we left :)

Sun Shing Kee, Mongkok

Quick lunch with mum & dad at Sun Sing Kee in Mongkok which is a noodle eatery that serves a variety of Chinese noodles (flat/thick rice noodle, rice vermicelli, udon, fish noodle,...).

I like their fish noodle which is made of fish, it's chewy and very tasty ^^

Food Village, Ma On Shan

My favorite cha chaan teng in Ma On Shan is Food Village, their Hong Kong style milk tea is the best!

I always order milk tea with extra milk which makes it smoother and creamier~~

Ireland's Potato, Hui Lau Shan, Caffe Pascucci & Sun Shing Kee in Mongkok

Recently, very popular in HK: Ireland's Potato

Best-seller "Special Cheese Fries": huge fries with melted cheese. Delicious! One more cup please!

Best-seller no 2: Fries with honey mustard dressing, a little bit too sweet for my taste but still very good!

Coffee-break at newly opened Caffe Pascucci at Langham Place

They serve a wide selection of espresso and cappuccino coffee, just to name a few special blends: cappuccino with soy milk, yoghurt cappuccino, coffee soda,... The Paspuccio (gold espresso blended with pas-ciok, hot milk, hot foamed milk and caramel syrup) is one of their signature coffees. Thick layer of foam drizzled with lots of caramel, yummy...

The apple crumble tasted quite good though it was not warm enough and the crust lacked of crispness.

Dinner at Sun Shing Kee noodle shop. Tasty fish balls and squid balls with chewy fish noodle.

Quick stop at Hui Lau Shan for a cool & refreshing mango & mango juice with aloe jelly and...

bird's nest & honey jelly in watermelon juice.

Lan Fong Yuen, Central

For a nice cup of "Pantyhose milk tea", delicious "French Toast" and HK-style "Pork chop bun", Lan Fong Yuen cha chaan teng is highly recommended.


The pantyhose milk tea was quite good, it had a smooth & ultra-fine texture.

On the other hand, the pork chop bun was not as good as expected. The bun was soft but I still prefer the kind of bun that has a crispy crust. As for the pork, flavor was ok but the meat was a bit tender. The pork chop bun I had in Macau is still my favorite!

Peanut butter toast with condensed milk: deli & light (comparing to French toast)
