AI Spot Summary
The scrambled egg barbecue pork rice and scrambled egg beef rice have a soft egg texture and rich flavor, while the peanut butter French toast is crispy on the outside and soft inside, with impressive portions. The taste of the salty lemon soda is slightly lacking, with the lemon flavor being too strong.
The decor is full of Hong Kong style, the atmosphere inside the store is comfortable, and the seating is spacious, but you may need to wait a little on holidays.
The staff communicates in Cantonese and has a friendly service attitude, but please note that only cash is accepted.
Reviews
📍 Datong District, Taipei City (near Shuanglian MRT Station)
An affordable and authentic Hong Kong-style tea restaurant run by Hongkongers 🇭🇰🍞
The decoration and style give a very Hong Kong vibe! Communication among the staff is in Cantonese.
There are a few chairs outside the shop, and a short wait might be necessary if you arrive on weekends in the evening.

🍳 Scrambled Eggs with Beef/BBQ Pork Rice ($160):
These eggs! 100 points 🤤🤤
Not all the eggs have a mushy texture; there is some variation. The middle part of the egg is really soft and tender and goes down easily without much chewing.
You can still see the shape of the eggs at the edges (similar to the edges of omelets 😆).
The portion is very large! I ordered two types of meat, beef and BBQ pork, and both were quite satisfactory.
🥜 Peanut French Toast with Syrup ($95):
A must-order at a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant 💗
When it was served, the size of the toast was astonishing 🤩 Very tall!
The crispy fried crust with syrup retained a bit of texture, and combined with the peanut filling, it was truly indulgent 🥰
🍋 Salted Lemon 7 Up ($80):
Also a must-order for me at a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant.
The lemon, when soaked for a while, had a slight medicinal taste, and the 7 Up lost its fizz quite quickly.
Not a Salted Lemon 7 Up I'd order again!
🍄
Will I revisit: Yes!
The main meals were quite impressive!
At this price, the value for money is very high 🫶🏻

The scrambled egg char siu rice is $160, and the portion is quite substantial, you'll be full. The scrambled eggs are well done, and together with the char siu, the whole bowl is very tasty and pairs well with rice.
A bowl of soup is included, but I can't quite tell what kind of soup it is.
I ordered a salty lemon soda for $80. I've always liked this drink from Hong Kong-style cuisine, and I usually order it whenever it's available in a shop. As usual, I find it delicious.
The shop provides red tea.
There are quite a few seats in the store, and there is a restroom available.
