💠 What’s Your Tea

Hi everyone! I’m Wolf 🪽

Today, I’m at this place in Tainan called "What’s Your Tea," which instantly transports you to Hong Kong!
Not only is the decor filled with Hong Kong vibes, but every drink and dessert is so exquisite that you’ll fall in love with them at first bite!

✨ Today's top three recommendations:

🥤 Iced Lemon Tea ($90)
The ice clinks as you sip, the black tea base is rich and a little astringent, paired with the natural tang of lemon, creating a perfect balance of sweet and sour that refreshes the palate!
With each sip, it’s both refreshing and has a sweet aftertaste, instantly infusing you with a taste of Hong Kong spirit!

🥤 Salty Lemon Soda ($90)
In a clear bubbly cup, a hand-crafted salted lemon sits at the bottom, paired with the fizziness of Sprite—it’s super soothing!
The salty flavor bursts in your mouth, complemented by the refreshing aroma of lemon, creating a fascinating combination of salty and sweet~
Remember to “stir it up” before drinking for even better flavor fusion~ Perfect for a hot day!

🥐 Pineapple Bun ($70)
The outer shell is baked to a golden crisp, with distinct pineapple patterns, and the top is slightly caramelized, releasing an enticing aroma.
When you cut it open, there’s a thick piece of cold buttercream inside, and when you bite down, it’s a perfect blend of hot and cold~
The flaky, aromatic crust, sweet-salty cream, and soft bread meld beautifully in your mouth, bringing an overwhelming sense of happiness!

This place is definitely not just photogenic; the flavors are also stunning!
If you're a fan of Hong Kong-style cuisine, don’t miss out! Make sure to add it to your food list the next time you visit Tainan!

🔹🏠: What’s Your Tea
🔹📍: No. 50, Zhengde Street, West Central District, Tainan City

📍 Central, Hong Kong
Famous traditional breakfast spot in Hong Kong 🇭🇰🥣

Located on the third floor of the Central Food Court, the first and second floors resemble traditional Taiwanese markets, selling pork, vegetables, and fruits, while the third floor features some snacks.

Remember to take the open escalator to go up; this time, I used a strange entrance where only stairs were available, and the environment wasn’t very clean.

🥘
Order Items
🍞 French Toast ($33):
This is the signature item of the store. The French toast I had this time wasn’t as crispy as what I saw in other people’s photos. It had a lighter color, and the distribution of egg mixture and condensed milk wasn’t very even.

Perhaps because I had an incredibly impressive Australian beef French toast the day before, this one felt a bit ordinary. It was a little rich for two people sharing one serving.

🫙 Bottled Iced Milk Tea ($22):
This iced milk tea is quite special as it doesn’t have a lot of ice like most places. It’s prepared with the right proportions already, so no extra ice is needed.

The flavor is quite tea-forward and not sweet! Initially, there’s a rich feeling, followed by a slight bitterness lingering in the mouth.

🍄
Will I revisit: Maybe 🤔
I personally feel that the environment on the way there isn’t very good! The food wasn’t extremely impressive either; next time, I will still prefer to choose street-side shops.

📍Mong Kok, Hong Kong
Open until late at night | High CP value Hong Kong-style tea restaurant

Given that the food prices at Hong Kong Disneyland are way too high🤣 after finishing the Disney fireworks, I urgently needed to find a restaurant that was open later to indulge in a hearty meal!

This restaurant in Mong Kok is open until 11:30 PM, and when I arrived around 10 PM, there were still many students and office workers dining in.

Observing the portion sizes on everyone's tables, they are extremely large! There are also huge drinks available to order. A Hong Kong friend mentioned that this restaurant is a favorite among locals, and the food quality has been improving.

🥘
Menu Items:
🐃 Satay Beef and Egg Fried Rice with Hot Horlicks ($61):
The portion is super massive; it looks smaller in the photo, but it must be more than two bowls of rice!🤣 After coming out from Disney, I was super hungry but couldn't finish it.

On the first bite, I found it quite delicious, but later on, the portion was so big that I noticed some uneven distribution in the egg mixture. Some parts were a bit dry while others were moist and smooth, which was quite nice.

As for the satay beef, it had some nutty flavor, which I didn't particularly enjoy, and the meat was just okay.

I would recommend adding some scallion oil on the side.

🐖 Pork Chop and Three-Egg Rice ($63+3):
This was also a dish with a surprisingly large portion 🤩 and it looked great on the plate!

When I flipped the egg, the thickness of the pork chop was impressive! It had some texture and wasn’t too dry, but after a while, I felt it tasted a bit like what I expected – it became a bit bland.

🍄
Would I revisit: Yes!
Overall, the flavors are still pretty good. They also have claypot rice and other small dishes, so I would love to try them if I have the chance!

Dai Pai Dong is like the Hong Kong version of McDonald's, with very quick service and mostly serving food typical of Hong Kong-style tea restaurants. The prices are very affordable, making it a blessing for the people, as you can have a meal for around 50 HKD. Moreover, the dining environment and the quality of ingredients are relatively comfortable and reliable.

The first Hong Kong-style French toast I tried was here, but since I'm not a fan of toast to begin with, I didn't have much of a reaction even with the addition of condensed milk and butter on the toast.

As for the Hong Kong-style milk tea, it was quite surprising. Unlike Taiwanese milk tea, which emphasizes the milk flavor, Hong Kong milk tea highlights the original tea taste. For someone like me who enjoys tea, Hong Kong's milk tea is more to my liking.

If you're traveling in Hong Kong with a budget and want to try authentic local cuisine, you might consider this chain of Hong Kong-style fast food. There's also a horse racing club across the street where you can buy lottery tickets to see if you can win enough to treat yourself to a nice tea restaurant (just joking around 🙃).

📍Hong Kong, Tai Hang
Scrambled eggs are the signature dish! I've visited this Hong Kong-style tea restaurant twice 🇭🇰🫶🏻

This is a popular spot on Instagram! After spending five days in Hong Kong, I came to this restaurant twice 🤣 because I wanted to try their famous scrambled egg pineapple bun and scrambled egg rice.

On my first visit, I came for breakfast! I originally planned to have the signature scrambled egg rice and pineapple bun, only to find out that the scrambled egg rice is only served after 11 AM.

Coincidentally, my Hong Kong friend hadn’t eaten at this restaurant before, so we returned two days later for lunch 🤤

The seating area of the restaurant is quite unique; besides the indoor seating, there are outdoor seats in the alley that resemble a dai pai dong, which are more spacious than the indoor seats.
However, it seems to be regulated by law, and the staff said we could only use takeout containers 🥡

🥘
Order items:
🍚 Signature Scrambled Egg Trio Rice ($75):
The scrambled eggs here are indeed the signature dish and are extremely smooth and tender 🤩

Among the char siu, shrimp, and tender beef, my favorite is definitely the tender beef, which has a texture that is relatively rare in Taiwan.

We ordered three scrambled egg rice dishes, and my Hong Kong friend couldn’t stop praising how delicious it was 😋

🍍 Scrambled Egg Pineapple Bun ($30):
A very indulgent combination!
The pineapple bun is like a hamburger, filled with thick scrambled eggs and butter.
Plus, the outer crust is crispy from being toasted, making it an absolutely wonderful treat.

🥪 Double Combination Sandwich: Egg and Salted Beef + Hot Lemon Tea ($40):
This one is more ordinary.
I didn't see a “toasted” option on the menu; if there was a toasting option, it would definitely enhance the dish.

🍄
Would I revisit: Yes!

✏️
Note:
🔸 Based on online information, it seems like there can be a long wait, but both times I visited, including on weekends, the wait time was quite fast.

I can only say that this way of queuing really makes people tired, but that's the price you pay for a famous restaurant. Usually, you have to wait for about an hour to be able to sit down and eat; otherwise, I would generally recommend taking it away.

The roasted goose is a must-order. There are only two of us, so we ordered a quarter. At first bite, it was truly heavenly (cue the background music of the Food God～). How can meat be so juicy, tender, and sweet? Plus, because geese have more fat, it pairs perfectly with rice. However, the more you eat, those who are not used to greasiness might find it increasingly repulsive. So, I think for those who prefer lighter meals, even with four people, ordering just a quarter is enough 🤣.

Next, most of the restaurants in Hong Kong serve blanched vegetables primarily using long-stemmed and leafy Chinese mustard greens, which I think are less common in Taiwan. However, they are still very delicious when plated and drizzled with soy sauce.

Finally, to counteract the greasiness from the roast goose, you absolutely cannot miss the iced lemon tea. I find Hong Kong's lemon tea inexplicably delicious; they use yellow lemons instead of the green limes found in Taiwan. Many people might not know this! But it's definitely a drink you can enjoy every day as a popular hand-shaken beverage in Hong Kong.

🎉 Creative Hong Kong-style Noodle Shop 🎉

🎉 Extra generous noodle portions are super satisfying 🎉

This creative Hong Kong-style noodle shop is located next to the blood donation center in Taoyuan. After donating blood, I passed by and decided to stop in for a taste 😚 Later, I found out there's another branch in Zhunan too! 😁

Upon entering, the staff informed us that there was free ice cream available in the front 👍

Ordering method: You can order via your phone or at the counter ☺️ However, for those who want to collect points, you must order at the counter to collect them.

While ordering, I found that they offer three types of chili sauces:
Secret chili oil, spicy fermented black bean soy sauce, and fermented pineapple chili sauce 🙌🏻 Each has its own distinct flavor, and spicy food lovers must try them all when ordering! 😆

Seafood Sauce Char Siu Noodle:

The seafood sauce is made by steaming shellfish in Shaoxing wine, adding Chinese sausage, dried shrimp, and chili, stir-fried together for a fragrant and savory flavor. Those who love strong tastes will definitely enjoy it 🤩. The sous-vide char siu is very tender and different from usual preparations, and combined with a large amount of vegetables and agar, it’s super satisfying 😋. Also, the noodle portions are quite generous, and the shop reminds you that adding more noodles will exceed half a pound, so choose wisely! 😆

Thick Shrimp Soup Noodle:

The thick shrimp soup is made from shrimp heads and vegetables, with sesame paste added to enhance its richness. It’s served with charred purple onion slices, crispy garlic, and shrimp crisps, along with fresh shrimp wontons—very delicious 😋. Today, the noodles were upgraded to egg noodles (alkaline noodles), giving an instant feeling of flying to Hong Kong! 😂

Black and White Cream Silk Stocking Milk Tea:

This tea features the commonly seen black and white cream from Hong Kong tea restaurants, paired with strong black tea. The flavor is quite good ☺️, and they don’t charge extra for adding ice! 😆

Hong Kong-style Pineapple Bun and Ice Cream Egg Tart:

The hot and cold pineapple bun is freshly baked and very tasty, with a crispy crust paired with chilled butter inside, creating a delightful sweet and salty contrast 😋.

I personally didn’t enjoy the ice cream egg tart as much; it's more like a pie crust tart. I prefer Portuguese egg tarts! 😁

To summarize:

Located near the county government, there's a parking lot nearby 🅿️, and there are street-side parking spots, making it very convenient whether you're riding or driving ☺️. If you want to try Hong Kong-style wonton noodles, this place can satisfy your cravings! 😏

Today, I enjoyed the Super Cosmic Thunder Chicken Leg Rice, which is incredibly delicious and comes with a honey glaze, priced at 110 NTD. Guangdu Roast Meat is located on Jinlong Road in Neihu, near the Neihu MRT Station, which is fairly deep into Neihu.

The name "Super Cosmic Thunder Chicken Leg Rice" is ridiculously long, to the point where you'll laugh when ordering. Interestingly, the price isn’t the highest on the menu. As for the Super Cosmic Thunder Chicken Leg, the chicken leg itself is indeed quite tasty. The sweet and salty flavor of the honey glaze combined with the perfectly thick, tender meat truly lives up to the name of being incredibly delicious. The spring onion salt sauce that accompanies it is also quite nice.

The side dishes are self-selected; I chose cabbage, kelp, and black pepper king oyster mushrooms. Other than the cabbage being appropriately fresh and savory, the other two dishes were frankly unimpressive. The rice's texture was rather subtle—I felt it was a bit too moist and soft.

The soup was a standard mixed meat soup.

Overall, the Super Cosmic Thunder Chicken Leg Rice is definitely worth trying. However, the subtle performance of other aspects may affect my willingness to revisit.

I recommend it to everyone.

Located in the Gongguan business district, this restaurant was formerly known as Hong Kong Lung Kee Fast Food. There were two very authentic Hong Kong-style stir-fry places in Gongguan, but one of them has already closed, leaving only this one.

I really have to say that the only downside of this restaurant is that payment can only be made in cash; otherwise, I can't think of any other shortcomings.

The satay beef fried rice is slightly on the salty side, but the portion is very generous. As a guy, I almost couldn't finish it. I think they've cooked the beef really well; it blends perfectly, and the rice grains are distinct!

The scrambled egg beef rice is also a bit salty, but the scrambled eggs are definitely not just any ordinary dish. The yolk content feels quite high, and when paired with the rice, it’s very smooth and enjoyable. However, I personally feel that the portion of rice in this dish is a bit small, so I recommend ordering extra rice.

The side dishes are also very generous in portion, and they taste quite good. If there are two or more people dining together, it's definitely worth a try.

Overall, although the dining environment is quite crowded, the turnover rate is high, and everyone eats quickly haha 😂. If you avoid the peak dining times, you won’t have to wait too long. If you’re in Gongguan, I recommend checking this place out!

Braces User Review: There are plenty of sinks at 101, and I even saw a lot of people brushing their teeth. 😂 This is a newly opened Hong Kong-style tea restaurant at the 101 Food Court. We lined up before 11 a.m. to try it out, ordering three set meals and three croissant egg tarts. Here are the dishes we had:

• Macau Pork Chop with Instant Noodles - NT$278
• Malicious Double-Eye Pork Chop Rice - NT$278
• Stall-style Char Siu Scallion Oil Mixed Noodles - NT$278
• Croissant Egg Tart per piece - NT$55 (x3)

The total amount was NT$999.

First, we tasted the stall-style Char Siu Scallion Oil Mixed Noodles, which were on the salty side. The char siu was mediocre and had to be eaten with water; you even needed to tilt the plate to drain the excess sauce. Next was the Malicious Double-Eye Pork Chop Rice, which had decent ribs served with two soft-boiled eggs, but the scallion oil was still slightly salty. The Macau Pork Chop with Instant Noodles was also salty, so it's no surprise the accompanying soup was bland. The side dish of black fungus was average, and the pineapple bun was decent. Lastly, the croissant egg tart was nothing particularly impressive.

Overall, this experience was less than ideal, and I probably won't revisit.
