To be honest, Hong Kong style milk tea is not my cup of tea but I had to give it a try because he said it was an award winning tea.
It was served pretty fast after I paid.
The guy at the front poured milk etc into the tea.
The taste was very strong with a good bitterness to it yet you could taste the balanced milk flavour.
While I was there, most of the Hongkongers said it was really good but as I am English I don't know how a good HK milk tea should taste.
I wonder if the prices will increase after the soft opening.

The $5 hotdog is a success at the Causeway Bay branch, and now it is available in Central too putting Wing Lok Yuen into competition.
The hotdogs here are American style where they have ketchup, mustard and relish available, there is Thousand Island as well to cater for HKers!
My hot dog came hot and wrapped nicely.
I found the hot dog satisfying because it was boiled and then grilled which gave it a crispy skin.
The sausage had a lovely smokey taste which went well with the ketchup and mustard.

Recently I had my first hmv hotdog on the Hong Kong side and it was lovely as it was freshly made.
As I was on the dark side of Kowloon, I decided to try the MK branch.
Sadly, it was cold, so was the bun so it wasn't as tasty as the one on the HK side.
I doubt, I would come back again for it.
Compared to the HK branches, this one is tiny.

Saw the new Iced Orange tea so decided to go in and try it, hence ordered the set.
After I sat down, I wasn't impressed when the staff came over to tell me that it was sold out, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted my time and money  on the fishburger set.
The iced orange tea was replaced with some crappy strawberry tea which is just cloyingly sweet syrup which is worse than the orange because they said it was made with orange juice.
Sadly the fish burger was oily and there was no fish taste at all compared to the fishburgers I have had at Mos before.
Again, I don't expect much from the dark side of Kowloon, poor quality and poor service.

Impressive crispy fish skins

Went here because this side of town is nice and quiet.The menu had noodles and rice but it was really difficult to decide because this place is famous for noodles but the rice was captivating as well as they had curry and beef tendons.
In the end, got the noodles.
The one tossed with xo sauce was really tasty with a spicy kick to it.

The other noodles with wontons was plain but the wontons were the star of the show.

The fish skin was surprisingly delicious because the fish skin were thin and crispy.
It had no rancid oil smell or taste and they were not a bit oily because I used my fingers to pick them up and they were oil free.
Anyway, I hope to come again and try the rices.

Sadly I was in Kowloon so had to dine in this nasty area.
The menu looked appealing because there was curry pizza but luckily I double checked because it was Roti not pizza.
Anyway got the crispy bun with beef curry.
The lady who served me had such a poor manner because she wasn't impressed that I didn't order much.
Anyway, the bun was disappointing or perhaps I was hoping for a crispy bun which you just can't get on the dark side of Kowloon.
It was those dusted Chinese buns.

The taste was strange, something was very bitter and salty yet there was no spiciness or taste of curry.

Found out, that this used to be in Wanchai so I don't blame them for the quality dropping because quality and service is always poorer on the dark side of Kowloon.

Gyoza addiction

I have to admit that I am addicted to the gyozas here because the dumpling skin is thin and the fillings are delicious yet they are not oily.
Chao Chao gyoza are always launching new flavours so you have to keep checking their social media for the latest updates.
On this visit, I tried the shake shake gyozas curry flavour.
It was fun putting the curry powder in the bag and shaking it


The curry flavour is mild so it doesn't over power the gyozas.
The other new yuzu pepper flavour is really strong so it should be eaten last.


Basically, it is very spicy with a strong chili pepper taste.
The mushroom gyozas are white because the dumpling skin is made with rice flour and it tastes sweet in my opinion.
