The Hong Kongers had to create their own local brew by mixing a few types of black tea, evaporated milk and condensed milk to make it an affordable treat! The accidental formula then brings the rich, creamy flavour and sweetness in Lai Cha. Yummmmm.
Milk tea making has now become an artisanship and a signature drink in Hong Kong after decades of evolution.
A delicious mound of rice with a marvellous zingy ginger black bean sauce and crispy pork chop topped off with a fried egg and spring onions.
Simple, really tasting and a perfect brunch dish.
The second version tasted was the pork chop bun, served with tons of scallions and drenched with black pepper sauce, which added another dimension to that juicy pork chop.
You know you have really experienced Asian street food with this HK classic, crispy, fluffy deep fried milk bread bathed in salty butter.
Simple presented but it was extremely delicious and true HK street food experience.
All the dishes being rich in carbs and proteins are a great reason to head out for a long walk into brick lane with a milk tea in hands, and knowing your stomach is well lined.
