One of the four surviving branches

There used to be Saint Alps everywhere but there are only four branches left.
I have to admit, I haven't been here for years because I have forgotten about it and they have disappeared from the places I normally go.
Taiwanese fare is not my thing either as it is just fried stuff sprinkled with seasoning and super sweet artificial drinks.
Anyway, decided to go and try the beef noodles as this is probably the cheapest Taiwanese beef noodles you will find.After all Saint Alps is the oldest specialist for Taiwanese bubble teas and food.

For $42, you can see it had everything ie the beef and tendons, but the broth was not strong enough and the beef was not soft enough.
But for that price it is definitely reasonable.
The roasted oolong tea was very thirst quenching with a good roasted aroma.

The grapefruit jasmine was refreshing as it was tart balanced by the fragrant Jasmine with bits of jelly at the bottom.
At the entrance, you will find boxes of tea so if you like the tea you can get sachets of instant milk tea or tea leaves.
Tea has always been my thing so I got the oolong which still tastes good when I made it at home.

There are lots of branches of TeaWood in Hong Kong but I decided to go back to this branch because I like Central and this was the first place I tried TeaWood.
I didn't try their food last time because I only had their drink with the thick milk cap but you could see that their menu has expanded from an A3 menu to a beautiful booklet!!!
As I was late, I missed the mix and match lunch so ended up getting the other lunch set which was a main and a drink.
The guy who was taking my orders didn't mean to say Goodbye like when you end a phone conversation but I felt really guilty because I burst out laughing as it was so funny.
Anyway, the beef noodles were fantastic especially the beef broth which was rich and strong.
The beef was really really good as it was soft and gelatinous so were the tendons.

The noodles were a little rigid for my liking but not because they were not soft enough but the type of noodles they serve are like that.

I left my ipad behind but luckily the guy from TEAWOOD gave it back to me before I got the elevator out.

Went here for a quick lunch.
Got the vegetable rice with kung po chicken, it was really good because the kungop chicken has some sweet appetizing sauce to it which is really good with the rice but unfortunately it was pearl rice.
The chicken feet were tasty and dripping in sauce.
Quite spicy and garlicky.
The chicken wings were huge but I wish the spices were stronger.

I was still hungry so came here for a chicken guacamole muffin which was the third I've had because I love it that much.
Out of the three I have had, this was the best one in terms of taste.
The muffin was fresh, soft with a slight chewiness and the chicken patty was crispy the chicken was moist inside.
There was a balanced ratio of guacamole and mayonnaise which really enhanced the taste especially the mayonnaise as it made it creamy and even more palatable.

Since my last visit, everything has improved.
They now have other options for those who don't eat yunnan rice noodles.
This time I had lamb with instant noodles and the lamb was lean without a gamey taste.
There was fermented beancurd so I ordered that which compliments the lamb nicely.
The bowl of lamb noodles was shockingly big as I ordered the small bowl!!!!
There were so many pieces of lean lamb compared to my visit years ago.
Inevitably your lips should be quite oily when you have finished but they have tissues by the door when you leave.
The chicken wings were not served hot but the chicken feet fared better because they were soft, tasty and gelatinous.

Since they opened, there are endless queues anytime of the day.
Finally tried it.
The menu layout is similar to Catayu but they serve fried chicken instead of pork.
I got the chicken with salty fruit sauce but annoyingly the sauce was right on top of the grassy leeks which made it difficult to mix the sauce or even dip with sauce.
All I can say is the chicken coating was mega crispy and that's it, the chicken inside was rather dry and evidently it was frozen chicken.
The taste was bland too.

Went here for dinner and was glad to see a pork chop pot option with tomatoes and egg which was not fried.
The tomato pot was a bit sweet but after it cooled down, the taste was not so sweet.
There was chopped up pork chop in there and it was tender but some pieces were quite chewy.
Also ordered some extra cabbage which tasted really good when dumped into the tomato pot.
Finished with the soup which was quite salty and I didn't like the pieces of pork in it.
