Business trip to HK for 3 days, and we had to take advantage of the time to enjoy some great food.
蘭芳園
Known for 絲襪奶茶, had to try it. I cant really tell how this is better than other places but it's still decent milk tea. I was told that back in the days, this is the place to go for those who are looking to skip work for a few hours. Reason being that the food service is extremely fast, and that you can have a quick afternoon tea away from the office if needed.
澳洲牛奶公司
Located near TST, this place was recommended by a local HK-er. He said that this is very local HK dinner. It was packed even on a weeknight. He said that to come on a weekend is literally impossible, not to mention poor service on top of even poorer service.
When we sat down and saw the menu options, we were surprised. It is westernized breakfast food. I guess it's expected since HK used to be a British colony and hence such strong Western presence. However, I wasn't expecting a western breakfast to turn into an Asian dinner. hahaa... nonetheless, it was still an interesting experience. Food was OK.
義順牛奶公司
After dinner, we headed over to this place for dessert. Apparently, this dessert parlour originated from Macau - a place with Portuguese influence.
I had the 雙皮燉奶 and our local guide had the 薑汁燉奶. I have to say that if you are not a fan of dairy, I reommend getting the ginger version since the flavour of the ginger covers up the taste of the dairy, but at the same time you still get the rick creaminess flavour of the dairy.
福元湯圓
Located near 砲台山MTR station, this is a local dessert parlour that serves just sticky ball dessert.
I ordered the sesame ball in sesame paste. All I can say is - it's sooooo sesame. You have to be a real sesame lover to order this, else I suggest ordering a different paste base with sesame ball.
一點心
Again, located near 砲台山MTR station, this is a chain dim sum store that offers tasty dim sum.
This is a Michelin 1-star restaurant worth trying out!
