In my opinion, Hong Kongese milk tea tastes a bit different from the typical milk tea because it’s creamier and even better than the typical ones.
The chicken feet are good as always since it’s my favourite dish due to its savoury taste and special texture. Pork chops are delicious and the instant noodles with Xo sauce are also great.
Edit (2 months after the last time coming): Steamed Cured Meat and XO Sauce Rice tasted so much better than the instant noodles I had 2 months ago. It was savoury and the XO sauce actually went much better with rice than noodles here.
Deep-fried Sesame Balls With Salted Egg Custard tasted sweet, creamy and so delicious inside. The sesame coating was crunchy and there was also a thin glutinous layer inside that.
Hong Kong Style Egg Tart had quite crispy texture and flavourful taste.
In conclusion, the sesame balls was delivered a bit too late but my tastes buds were definitely satisfied. The price was moderate and there were usually long standing queues, especially on weekends. Overall, it’s a...
Read moreWe had our first day lunch in Taipei at this super popular yum cha place. We were really hungry but still had to wait in quite long queue 😒 Luckily, the dishes were really yummy and innovative - I can say that this brand is my favorite HK yum cha brand. I especially love the shrimp cha leung rice noodle and the cha xiu xiu pastries with BBQ pork inside 😋

Prices on the menu are quite good value for money and we were happy to spend the amount charged. You can pay with all types of credit card, which is another plus for...
Read moreWe waited almost 30 minutes for a table, and when we were finally about to be seated, the staff told us that our baby couldn’t use a high chair since it was a booth table. They also didn’t allow us to bring in a stroller. This left us wondering how they expected us to feed the baby.
What confused me more was that I noticed an empty regular table where a high chair could clearly fit. When I asked if we could sit there instead, the staff claimed it was reserved—even though both tables could seat four people. We were told to wait another 40 minutes for a table that would accommodate a high chair, and we agreed. But after just 10 minutes, they ended up giving us the very table I originally requested.
I honestly don’t understand why the process had to be made so difficult. After waiting nearly 50 minutes, it felt frustrating to be given the runaround when a simple solution was available...
