and its autumn finally - as the cool breeze blows in Hong Kong i know its again good time to pay regular visits to Shing Heung Yuen for breakfast or brunch.Given its semi-outdoor layout, and the ever-hot summer due to Global Warming, its getting more and more unbearable for customers to stay outdoor while 'enjoying' a big bowl of pipping hot tomato noodles. or chui chuis fresh off the toaster, whatever. now that its cooler and drier means that eating 'out' at shing heung yuen can be less a tortu
Given its semi-outdoor layout, and the ever-hot summer due to Global Warming, its getting more and more unbearable for customers to stay outdoor while 'enjoying' a big bowl of pipping hot tomato noodles. or chui chuis fresh off the toaster, whatever. now that its cooler and drier means that eating 'out' at shing heung yuen can be less a torture and more an enjoyment.
I went there at nine in the morning: it was already quite crowded with customers, mostly regular ones. The tables were a lot cleaner than they were before the renovation: there were less stains and marks on them. as usual, i ordered a chui chui with lemon, honey and butter, while my mum ordered a tomato marconi with beef and egg. we both took hot milk tea for drink.
the milk tea was medicore-but oh well who'd come here just for the milk tea? matter of fact its already a lot better than whats served in regular local eateries. yet its a little bitter in the aftertaste, and i bet its because of the inadequate amount of milk used.
chui chuis was as tasty as always: now i prefer the 'base' rather than the ears of the mickey mouse, for i want something to chew on, not something so light and crispy that disappeared after biting in like cotton candies.
the marconi was perfect. the soup base was rich and not too sour; its more fresh with the taste of tomato. the beef slices were fresh and not tough. the eggs (poached?) was not overcooked and still had a runny yoke. all these combined to give rise to a bowl of cheap, yet ultra-tasty stuff, good for both breakfast or lunch.
All these costed just 51 dollars. what a bargin! i will come again -and again and again during this autumn and winter to come.
