Hong Kong-style Milk Tea (top right of the picture) is one of those things you must experience in Hong Kong, alongside a good solid bowl of fish-cake noodles and egg-shaped waffles.
Milk Tea (奶茶, lai cha) is made up using black tea, evaporated milk, to which you add your own helping of sugar. It is one of my favorite hot beverages, which is as enjoyable in the summer as in the winter.
Introduced by my dad, one of the best places for Milk Tea in Hong Kong is in Mong Kok (Kowloon), at the “tea restaurant” shown above. Apparently this place has won Milk Tea competitions (probably similar to the Barista championships in North America), and the price for a milk tea is only a few Hong Kong dollars with your meal. Add it to your “must-do” list of things to consume in Hong Kong!
