I've been visiting Bing Kee frequently since high school. The hygiene is questionable and the dining environment is not ideal, but this is where you can fully experience down-to-earth food and blue-collar life in Hong Kong. ＊Spam, Egg and Spiced Beef Instant Noodle 餐丁蛋麵 My go-to order is the sunny side up egg and spiced beef cubes (五香肉丁) combo. The chili oil of the beef cubes gives a spicy kick and pairs well with the sesame oil soup. They also offer a variety of classic HK cafe food toppings. The popular options include marinated pork chop, soy sauce wing, corned beef and red sausage. ＊Butter Toast with Evaporated Milk 奶油麥多 My favorite breakfast item. The toast is thickly cut and fluffy. They toast both sides of the bread, generously spread some butter, then drizzle evaporated milk over it. Very crispy and sweet snack to kick start your morning. ＊HK Style Milk Tea 港式奶茶 Their hk style milk tea used to be top notch. Unfortunately the quality was disappointing this time. The milk-to-tea flavors were unbalanced and tea base was overwhelmingly bitter. Hope it was just an off day.

The egg tarts were perfectly flakey and crunchy with a silky soft, slightly sweet and eggy interior. The HK Coffee Milk Tea was definitely on the stronger side with a heavier coffee kick. They had small two person-only tables so no need to share if those are available. This cafe is located near some popular shopping streets and markets but deep enough in Kowloon where nothing is in English, however it helps to have someone who speaks Canto. :) I love these cafes for their fast, no nonsense service and they certainly live up to it.

Reunited with the love of my life!!! Lan Fong Yuen takes the cake for milk tea in Hong Kong for me…read more Me, having the worst sense of direction I was thinking it was the same location I went to couple months ago. I kept following the GPS and at one point got so irritated because it said I arrived. Looked north, south, east, west-- arrived where?! After 10 minutes of walking I passed by a building and what do you know, it had Lan Fong Yuen and a bunch of other restaurants listed with their respective suite numbers. And of course, it was a completely different location from the one I've been to before. It was great though because I actually got to sit in and order some food this time. Place looks like a retro, older cafe that you see in TVB dramas. It is definitely more spacious than other places in Hong Kong so plently of seats available. Servers do speak some English to where communicating and ordering wasn't a problem. I also appreciate how there was a menu with photos! It always help to have visuals for people not familiar with certain dishes. Anyhow, we ordered the classic iced milk tea, crisp bun with butter, and thick toast. The crisp bun did come out burnt on the edges, which was a little offputting when it first got set on the table. But it did not taste burnt or affected the taste in anyway. I preferred the thick toast a little more, I think it's just overall texture of it being more soft and perhaps visually more appealing. My parents said they liked the bun more though. What I found was really sweet was one of the ladies was walking around, kind of paused for a bit before coming up to our table and pointed the syrup and signaled for us to pour it onto the toast. After we did it she smiled and gave a thumbs up. She knew we were foreigners and not knowing how to properly eat it and wanted to help us despite the language barrier. It shows that LFY really does care and want the best experience for their customers. Because you know, not many will do what she did. Having the mentality of "not my business, why should I care?" Or "I'm not the owner/manager, it's not my responsibility" (I'm pretty sure she wasn't as she was in uniform and in Asian cultures, usually the person at the register is the person in charge) I think that experience will stick with me for a lifetime. Oh and how could I end the review without my beloved iced milk tea! It tasted as wonderful as expected, not too bitter and not too sweet. It came out with the restaurant's cup and not the plastic to go ones with their signature. I was a little disappointed because now I won't have a pretty Instagram shot. I know, first world problems. But I saw a table with those cups so I think my feelings are justified. After finishing everything, I had ordered another iced milk tea to go so that solved my issue. As I'm writing this, I really want some LFY now. Well, till next time Hong Kong!

There is no list to write your name. People just line up parallel to the front of the store and because the line is long, people also block the entrance to the adjacent store as well. The service is quick so people are in and out quickly. I know this is Asia, I know people in the service industry will not be polite or even make eye contact. We had to share a booth with two strangers because seating is limited. As the wait staff was taking our order, he already turned around as I was telling him the first part of my order. Then I was basically talking to his back as he had already walked away when I gave him the second part of my order. So when I asked to clarify that he heard the second part of my order, he said "yeah, yeah, I heard you. Your drink is here. Drink it. Ok, bye bye~" WTF The food. We got our "pantyhose" HongKong-style milk tea. It tastes so rough, and not as smooth as we expected it would be. In Hong Kong, they also use granulated sugar, which doesn't help. My truffle scrambled egg was nothing but fluffy, smooth egg with "burnt"-tasting tiny amounts of truffle on top. The truffle was nothing special and certainly not worth $42-43 HKD (equivalent to the cost of their breakfast set). You wouldn't know the difference between the "truffle" here and grounded, burnt sesame seeds. The huge portion of egg actually made me very nauseous since it was barely salted sitting on top of a thick slice of white toast. Not fascinated with this popular spot, in fact very disappointed by the service from the miserable, rude staff and overrated food.

This place is a little hard to find because you have to walk all the way to the end of a street with a dead end and it's hidden in the corner. The restaurant itself is clean and spacious. The service was pretty good by Hong Kong standards. I ordered the scramble eggs with BBQ pork over rice and it came out in less than ten minutes! The dish looked amazing and the portion was pretty big, although I had no trouble finishing the whole thing. Hong Kong's scrambled eggs are on some other level. This spot makes them runny, and although I usually don't like my eggs runny, they tasted pretty amazing here. Doused with sweet, light soy sauce and succulent pieces of famous Chinese BBQ pork on a bed of rice, this was definitely one of the most comforting and satisfying meals here. Definitely give it a try if you're in the area! I have a new love for scrambled eggs :)

The creamy chicken macaroni soup with ham and abalone strips (and side of soft eggs with toast) made me feel like a kid again. The beef and egg sandwich, and spam and egg sandwich were exactly as expected; they came out hot and fast and in generous portions. Drinks were great too, especially the lemon tea served with real citrus slices (both hot and iced were solid), and the milk tea was as authentic as it gets. Value felt fair for the area. From the menu, tea/breakfast-style sets sit around HK$40-46, lunch plates are roughly HK$52-64, and most drinks are in the HK$18-24 range (with a few around HK$26-28), so you can order a full spread without the bill getting out of hand. Good to know: they only accept cash and Octopus, so don't count on credit cards. Overall, an easy 4 stars for a dependable, grounding first stop.

It's communal seating, so don't be surprised if you're sitting with other people. I like that this place has a napkin dispenser, which a lot of restaurants in Hong Kong don't give you napkins. Their congee is good and bubbling hot. Not the best I've had in Hong Kong but it's super quick and cheap. Their soy bean milk is delicious and homemade with no added preservatives. It's great cold too. Their rice crepes aren't too bad either. I like the sesame and sweet sauce they provide you on your table. Each time I've been here, it's been with my parents so they usually speak to them/my sparse Cantonese had gotten me by, not too sure if they speak too much English here. It gets crowded at peak times, but you can usually get a seat. Turn over time is super fast. They're efficent and friendly enough!
