With the extension of the MTR into Kennedy Town, I went exploring and first stop is this old school cha chaan teng or HK style cafe that is well known for its milk tea and pastries! Like most cha chaan teng, the space is as cramped as can be while the service leaves much to desire. You are expected to know what you want right away which is fine by me since I already know what I wanted to eat. They serve typical dishes like breakfast, toasts and even rice places for lunch. Got the 特餐 (HK$30) with

Got the 特餐 (HK$30) with satay beef noodles, pan-fried ham & egg with sweet bread and milk tea. The satay noodles were just okay as the noodles were quite limp and bloated while the satay flavor could have been stronger. The sunny side up egg was cooked perfectly though with its runny yolk while the milk tea was very well balanced in flavor with a silky smooth finish. Next time will want to try their 茶走 which is a milk tea with condense milk instead of evaporated milk which is supposed to be a stronger version of milk tea.

Outside the shop, they also sell takeaway buns and pastries so I got a pineapple bun ($6) to go as well. It was just okay though as the crust wasn't crunchy enough. I did eat it a day later so perhaps eating it straight out of the oven would have been better.
Verdict - great for a HK style afternoon tea with egg tarts and milk tea!Follow me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/supertastermel
