As always, Tsui Wah features a trendy styling, through bright colours in their restaurants and very well garnished drinks and dishes, but it stays true to its Hong Kong identity every step of the way. Sure, this place is much pricier than the average 茶餐廳, but it's a restaurant that you can definitely put your trust in. It's very tourist friendly, considering how their menus are in both Chinese and English, waiters are much more patient and willing to communicate with you in a language other than Cantonese. They also pretty much cover all the key dishes you need to try in Hong Kong, so if you're short on time, you can always just randomly pick an item off the menu and you're pretty much good to go. Their Hong Kong style milk tea is quite nice, but feel free to try other drinks, I have a feeling they'd be pretty good. If you're looking for Hainanese chicken rice, this venue does it well, the chicken is tender, smooth and juicy, and the rice is actually prepared with chicken fat for flavour. While I don't eat at Tsui Wah often, I do plan on coming again.

The cafe makes their own selection of canto bakery which is not common with most in HK . It is also the reason I came back . Along with the famous pineapple bun with butter ( served on ice !!), they also have cocktail bun ( sweet bun with coconut innards ), coconut tart, egg tart etc. I would highly recommend the satay beef noodle set ( A set, hkd 26) which is my ultimate favourite. on my rating for this noodle, I would give the restaurant 3.5/5 :)!

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.

Sadly, the number of dai pai dong has declined over the years as licenses for them are no longer issued, but Sing Heung Yuen is one of the few remaining ones. I came to Sing Heung Yuen for lunch with my friend. There was a line, but it moved relatively quickly. I ordered a Hong Kong-style milk tea and a tomato noodle soup with sausage, luncheon meat, and egg. I was told by a few people that the soup is best with macaroni noodle, but I prefer instant noodle, so I got that instead. The food hit the spot. It was simple, delicious, and super filling. I was told by some local ladies that the toast is a must-try, but I was way too full, so I skipped it. Aside from being a unique experience, Sing Heung Yuen offers a quick and affordable meal to tourists and locals. Avoid though if you are not a fan of tomato soup or toast since the menu is as limited as the space.

They are known for their tomato soup base and you can choose the type of noodles and there's various toppings to choose from. I ordered their tomato macaroni soup with beef and spam. The soup is on the sour side and I would have liked it to be a little more savory and hearty. The macaroni was a little overcooked but that's basically Hong Kong cafe style. It came with 2 half pieces of spam, one of it was overcooked and dry, the other one seemed undercooked. The beef was decent texture wise but it didn't have much flavor. We also ordered their toast with condensed milk and the toast was over toasted and too crunchy to my liking. Overall, it's an unique experience but don't be expect the food to be superb. You also won't get over the top service but everyone was very courteous and friendly.

We came in right before closing, around 9:30pm. There was plenty of seating still available. They told us they were out of lamb, but it's ok as I wanted beef. I'll come back for the lamb next time. The guys ordered the Tibetan-style dry beef noodles in garlic sauce (HK$42) and I opted for the beef noodle soup (HK$38). The food was served very promptly, within 5 mins of placing the order! And my my, was my noodle soup piping hot!! Mhmmm super warm and hearty, with a generous serving of coriander. WINNING. THAT BROTH THOUGH, HOLY COW. Very very flavorful. It reminds of the soup at the end of hot pot when everything's been cooked in it. Just like that. Full of beef flavor. I loveeeee. For the dry noodles with garlic sauce, it reminds me of tsukemen, where the broth came on the side. It's the same broth used for the noodle soup but a tad saltier. I saw the chili pepper next to this item on the menu so was hesitant about ordering it. But I tried a bit of my friend's and it wasn't too spicy at all! I'll definitely return for it! (And will need to return for the other skewers and cumin fried chicken wings!!) How much did we spend among four people? HK$205. What a STEAL! Around HK$50 per person. It doesn't get any better than that. Plus serving size is much bigger than that of Kau Kee, and for the same price, you're better off coming to Qinghai Tibetan Noodles. NOM AWAY!

Too bad what is happening there now but when one of my friends who have been there told me he has found a place that reminds him of his trip to Tibet, I have to give it a try. I have never tried Tibetan food before so honestly I did not have any expectations whatsoever, I went with a open heart and let it surprise me. The place is really small with only a few tables (outdoor seating as well if you do not mind the heat). There is nothing fancy about the décor here but I have seen quite a lot of happy customers here so I think my friend has recommended a rather nice place. Since he has been to Tibet and (supposedly) knows more about its food, I just let me order. He ordered signature noodles with muttons and beef for me. After a while the food was served. One of the staff came to us (maybe I did look like I was not in my element) and told us before we ate, we should smell it first. And we did. I could not really describe that but it was rather special, in a good way. The staff told us that for Tibetan food, it is very common to use something called "Ground Cumin" that has a very distinct aroma to it. And then I had a bite of the mutton, which was not so chewy and it went so well with the soup. I enjoyed my very first Tibetan food very much and since I do not know when I can finally go to Tibet, I guess I will come here again.
