After the eggy treat at Tai Cheong, Mum and I proceeded to another highly reputable local coffee shop (or stall?) in Central - Lan Fong Yuen. The pantyhose milk tea was said to be so good that even the Caucasians would flock in to give it a try. Well, I'm not from Hong Kong so I'm not in the position to query the status of Lan Fong Yuen among the other eateries which serves milk tea as well. However, milk tea is not a new thing to me as it is also widely available in Malaysia. I guess it is not
First, it was tasteless with a complete absence of the smell of tea. I tried to close my eyes and took another sip hoping that I could sense the hidden flavour of this concoction but was utterly frustrated by something that tasted nothing more than plain water. So, my dear Hong Kong buddies, this is what you've been drinking all these years?
Thinking that I might be too judgmental about something which I don't normally fancy, I switched my attention to the cup of coffee hoping that it could change my perception towards the quality of their food. I wanted so much to prove that I was wrong but once again, I was disappointed. The coffee could hardly convince me that it was actually a cup of COFFEE.
Mum ordered Breakfast Set A consisting of a bowl of instant noodles and a cup of drink. Mum and I were puzzled when the food arrived. It gave us a fright! Reason? The noodles were not cooked and the soup was drizzled with excessive oil! I never like to penalised based on appearance so I took a few strands of noodles together with a spoonful of soup. For goodness sake! Even my brother who rarely cooks can make better noodles. This was absolutely inedible!
You must be thinking that I would give all the bad comments to Lan Fong Yuen and my review would contain lots of biasness. Don't worry, I want to be fair to Lan Fong Yuen too. their reputation is retained by the Pork Chop bun which I found rather interesting. First, the bun was perfectly toasted till it was crispy on the outside but remained soft in the inside. Second, the pork chop was so well-marinated resulting in tender and juicy texture. I only ate half of it and kept the other half for lunch but I didn't eat it for lunch. Guess what? I took the bun back to the hotel and left it on the table till midnight. I ended up eating it for supper. You know what? After so many hours since the bun was made, it still remained tasty! I salute to the cook who made this bun as he had created wonders from an ordinary bun.
