Macau Famous Double Skin Milk!! (澳门双皮奶)

We did some research before we go to HK and a lot of people mentioned that this shop is the most famous shop for the double skin milk ('xiong pei nai' 双皮奶) in Macau. So here I go...

义顺鲜奶(牛奶)公司

the entrance

see, lot's of 'xiong pei nai'..

It's a small shop, two storey, only a few tables inside. When we walked in, we were lucky that there's people leaving, else we got no place to sit also.

the menu

ginger 'xiong pei nai' (hot)

original 'xiong pei nai' (cold)


Two 'xiong pei nai' costs us HKD 34, not cheap also... How it taste? I shall say I prefer the ginger one, the original one taste very geli. I'm ok with milk but I can't stand the smell.. hehe.. The ginger one taste better! But it's still worth to try!

Macau Portuguese EggTart (澳门葡挞)

When you talk about Macau? What is the first thing you will think of? Casino? erm.. ok, I mean food lar, what is the first thing that came across your mind? Portuguese Egg Tart!! Yes that's right!!

I'm not really a fan of Portuguese egg Tart, I prefer the normal egg tart, but since it's the famous food in Macau, then have to try lar..


This small shop is just beside the Yik Shun 'Xiong Pei Nai' (义顺 - 双皮奶). I think most of his business come from the customer from Yik Shun. hehe...

We bought two to try..

HKD 7 each

I'm not sure this shop is the famous shop for Portuguese egg tart or not, but to me, it taste normal only lar. I still prefer the egg tart from Pie & Tart Specialist (蛋挞专门店).

Yummy yummy Hong Kong Lor Mai Gai

Before my trip to HK, I told myself I have to try their Lor mai gai (glutinous rice chicken, 糯米鸡). But when we had the HK dim sum for lunch on the 3rd day of our trip, FL ordered wrongly, he thought he ordered lor mai gai but that one turned out to be paper wrapped chicken!! So till now I still haven't had the chance to try lor mai gai yet.

When we were on the way to the sports shoes street (波鞋街) to shop for Nike sports shoes (after we were back from HK Disneyland), we passed by this little shop which sells lor mai gai, some dim sum + bao. Yay, I still got chance to eat HK Lor mai gai!!


Their lor mai gai looks a bit different than the one we have here. It's much more bigger and the lor mai gai is wrapped with banana leaves (i think...it's banana leaves. hehe..)

Unlike our lor mai gai, this one is white in color. The chicken is at the bottom. Smells really nice and taste really good! oooo.. I love lor mai gai, I love HK lor mai gai!!

Vitasoy, original and honey dew flavor
维他奶

I don't like soya drinks but a lot of people told me this is a MUST drink thing in HK. So i bought one packet at the 7-11 opposite my hotel to try on the first day. Since then, I bought 1 packet EVERYDAY!!(on the last night, i bought 2 packets!! hehe..) It's really nice, not too sweet, even me who doesn't like soya drinks love this!!

and this.. what's the name for this ar?

this taste so so only, why? cos they add soy sauce on top and there's no chili sauce! taste a bit weird la..the lor mai gai + this costs us HKD 26, not cheap also... but really should try the lor mai gai lar.. taste really good!!

The best sausage roll I've ever had at Hong Kong Disneyland

The HK Disneyland is not very big but still we took almost a whole day visiting or rather queuing to visit each and every corner of Disneyland. It was already 7pm+, the fireworks will be at 9pm. We were both tired and a bit hungry, therefore we decided to have a break and have some snacks at the bakery shop on the main street of Disneyland.

the bakery shop

the menu
hmm, not too expensive also wor, right?

wow, everything looks so delicious and
smells good too!

nice paper bag with disneyland logo

Iced Tea, HKD 15

Sausage Roll, HKD 22
looks really big and delicious! yum yum!

see, huge right?

egg tart, HKD12

The sausage roll is more expensive than the Iced Tea but it is really really VERY nice!! The bread is very very fresh, you should really try if you visit to HK Disneyland one day.

Our lunch at Hong Kong Disneyland

After a few hours walking under the hot sun at HK Disneyland, we decided to take a rest and have our lunch. There are a few restaurants/food court there with different themes. (depend where you are) We were at somewhere near Tarzan's tree house, so this is the place we're having our dinner.

not bad right? it's like eating in the forest.

There are not really that much of choice there, got rice, got mee..We were hungry and tired so both of us ordered rice.

BBQ pork rice (Char Siu Fan 叉烧饭), HKD 50
and a plate of vege (cabbage), HKD 15

Three Treasure Rice (三宝饭), HKD 50
and a cup of Pear Sweetened Soup, HKD 15

Eating at disneyland is a bit expensive. This meal costs us HKD 130, approx RM 60+. But then again, even we the food at Genting also more expensive lor.. So the price still reasonable lar. You can see there's really a lot of rice, both of us also can't finished it. How it taste? Not bad actually...I like the cabage and the tong shui. taste nice!

Another Hong Kong Char Chan Teng (明苑粉面茶餐厅)

This is the 4th day of our trip in Hong Kong. Today we have to eat FULL FULL. why? We're going to the HK Disneyland!!! A lot of walking, a lot of sweating.. so breakfast have to be full, right? Again, we picked a char chan teng near our hotel (ya, there's really a lot of char chan teng around the hotel we stayed..)

明苑粉面茶餐厅

my cup of coffee...

I forgot this is ice tea of ice coffee. hehe, but looks nice right?

this one is very nice!! sweet, and SPICY!!

my minced meat mee, not bad, but not as nice as the
one I had on the first day at Eat to New(新之食).

soup

FL was addicted to the beef noodle 'ngao lam min' (牛腩面) he had yesterday. So this morning he ordered the same thing again, but it's not as nice as the one he had yesterday.

Overall the breakfast here is normal, not bad but not so good as well. Price about the same, about HKD 30 per person.

I finally tried the Hong Kong Wan Tan Mee with BIG wan tan!! (香港云吞面)

When my friends know I'm going to Hong Kong, the first thing they told me was, must try their wan tan ya.. big big wan tan!! After we were back to our hotel from Lantau Island, we headed out again to find food at the Ladies Street there. That is when we saw this small shop...

They got sell all kinds of mee,
wan tan mee, beef noodle, and etc etc etc.

FL ordered the beef noodle, looks really nice and taste good too! Till now, when talked about HK, he will tell me he miss this beef noodle, ‘ngao lam min' (牛腩面).

What about me?
Well, I sure order the wan tan mee lar!!
Where's my big big wan tan??

see, wow, super big and super nice!!

The wan tan mee taste good and the wan tan taste GREAT!! Oh ya, I added chili into my soup, that's y it's red in color. hehe.. We paid HKD 36 for two bowls of mee! Consider quite cheap lar, other place at least HKD 20+ per bowl! FL miss the beef noodle, and me, I miss their big big wan tan!!

Pie & Tart Specialist (蛋挞专门店)

Everybody says egg tart in HK is a must try thing but this is my third day in HK and I can't seems to find any. How come no sign of egg tart? Then finally when we were back from Lantau Island to Tung Chung (东涌), somewhere near the MTR station, we saw this shop that sells egg tart!! FINALLY, egg tarts, egg tarts, I'm COMING!!

Pie & Tart Specialist (蛋挞专门店)

Egg Tart, HKD 6 each

There are a lot of things beside egg tart but we only bought two egg tarts to try. According to our friend, this shop is quite famous in HK. Although I got no chance to try the egg tart at those Char Chan Teng, but this one taste good too. Much more better than the egg tart here!!

Ahh, I miss the egg tart.. very very much!!

Honeymoon Dessert (西贡-满记甜品)

When we were about to leave Lantau Island, we saw this shop that is full of people. My friend said this Honeymoon dessert is quite famous in HK, almost as famous as Hui Lao Shan Healthy Dessert (许留山). Hmm, really that famous? Since the weather is so hot and since we are thirsty and since it is that famous, then there's no reason we should not try lor, right?

take away counter/cashier
Queuing up to order

Lantau Island's Moutain Water Tao Fu Fa (大屿山 - 山水豆腐花)

When we finally climbed up and down the stairs under the hot sun to see the Big Buddha, we were all sweat like a pig. So we all decided to stop by this little shop to rest a while plus to try the tao fu fa. Heard HK is famous of tau fu fa also wor.. is that true?

Lantau Island's Moutain Water Tao Fu Fa
(大屿山 - 山水豆腐花)

Tao Fu Fa (豆腐花)

There's hot or cold for you to choose. To me, this is really nothing special lar. I think I can get nicer one in Malaysia!! That is why, it doesn't really matters if the food taste not so nice, as long as the name can attract ppl, they can still get business!! hehe..

Vegetarian Food at Lantau Island (大屿山吃斋)

What's so special about the vegetarian food at Lantau Island(大屿山)? Well, I also not sure but seems like when people mentioned Lantau island, they will automatically link to vegetarian food. So must try when I'm at 'dai yu san' lor, right?

Before you climb the stairs up to the Big Buddha, you will see this ticketing counter on your right. If you want to try their vegetarian food, this is the place to buy the tickets.

Meal ticket counter

the price list

So what's the difference between General (HKD 60) and Deluxe (HKD 150)? For Deluxe, you will have your own table (no need to share with others) and you will have better dishes. As for General, slightly different dishes and also might need to share table with other people. After listening to the explanation, we decided to get the General, HKD 60 per person. RM 30 per person wor, also consider quite expensive already lar..Share table also nvm lar, as long as the dishes no need to share with others.

HKD 60 x 3 person, so altogether HKD 180

We decided to makan first before we start to climb the stairs, not yet eat where got energy right? The place to eat is just across the street, opposite the big buddha.

the makan place.

the entrance

We managed to get ourselves a table for 3,
small table so don't need to share with other people.

It was already 2pm+ but still a lot of people.

We were not very sure whether we need to self service or wait for ppl to serve us. After waited about 10 minutes, someone gave us a pot of chinese tea, that pot is enough for 10 ppl!! Anyway, we waited for another 10 minutes for our vegetarian dishes.

White rice

Celery (芹菜)

Sweet & Sour Tofu
this is nice!!

Spring roll, this one so so only.

HK Choy Sam

Lotus root soup

4 different dishes plus a soup, not bad right. How it taste? Well, I won't say it's super delicious but it consider quite nice also. Everything was served hot and you can refill the rice (i think) but not the vege dishes gua..

If you happen to go Lantau Island one day, you should really try their vegetarian food. It's worth to try!
