HK photoblog mid-June

First set of photos are taken in Lan Fong Yuen, Central, HK Island. The famous HK Milk Tea is shown (both hot and cold versions - having tried them, they're really milky sweet. Not with condensed milk, just fresh milk and sugar.) We also ate Chicken chop rice, Chicken chop noodles, and Macaroni in tomato stew with pork chop. I had the Chicken chop noodles. Nice, but nothing to shout about imho. Story about LFY is that it was in danger of having to move away from it's existing premises until the loyal customers rallied and helped to raise funds to secure rental or ownership of the shop. We ate at the "new" branch, few doors away from the original branch. Anyway i'm not too clear about the history, just remember bits and pieces from what my friends told me :P

Next set of photos are taken in Hui Lau San dessert shop. First photo shows bird's nest thong sui with fruit salad, Second photo shows coconut slivers in mango puree with side of fruit salad, and Third photo shows Mango pudding with fruit salad (top left) and Mango pudding with mango puree and sorbet (bottom right). I had the Mango pudding with mango puree and sorbet...let's say it was an overdose of mango. Besides mango-centric desserts, they do serve other types of hot and cold desserts too, and the chain branch where we had these is in Mongkok.
