Free herbal tea to prevent colds and flu

Kung Wo Tong (Tseung Kwan O)

Earlier I walked past the Wan Chai branch and they were giving out free herbal teas to prevent colds and flus.
(picture shows Wan Chai branch with herbal teas ready for people to take).

Anyway, I took one and drank it as a normal drink, it was pleasant with a slight bitterness.

Later I was in different area so I went to the nearest branch to see if they were doing it too and they were.
However this branch was not promoting it and you had to ask to get it.
As for the taste, the drink at this branch was not as strong as the Wan Chai branch.



But anyway, Thanks to the generosity of Kung Wo Tong for giving people free herbal teas.

You can get yours at any branch from 1-2pm and 7-8pm.

Fresh apple and sea coconut drink @ Kung Wo Tong

Saw the poster and the drink looked refreshing so I tried it.

 

I thought it was a hot drink but it was chilled.
Anyway the drink was apple and sea coconut.

 

There was apple juice in it but it was not sour and the sea coconut tasted nice as well because it was not sweet at all.
However it was slightly strange because it tasted milky.

Qing bu liang drink @ Hung Fook Tong

I was attracted by the size of the bottle so got this drink.

It costs $3.5 if you buy other products in the store but as there was nothing else I wanted, I just got the drink which costs $4.5 so you are only saving $1 if you buy other items.

Anyway, I just tried it for fun not for its herbal properties but the taste was light and pleasant and not too sweet.
The drink contains longgan and jobs tear seeds.

Clear opaque herbal jelly @ 藥生堂

Noticed on their menu the white grass jelly, so finally tried it, apparently it is meant to good for your respiratory, the owner said it was made of fruit, and a high source of fibre.
Although it is called white jelly, it is not white.

I got a bowl to take away, it was nice the syrup was a separate tub, I tried it without the sweetener and the jelly itself had a faint taste of sweetness, the appearance of the jelly was not white, it was crystal clear. The texture of the jelly was like grass jelly, although slighty chewier than grass jelly.

Deafened by the screeching sound @ 蛇王燊

Never noticed this little snake joint, despite walking past it every day!!!

Only tried because I saw a picture of the snake soup, just plain broth with no residue or meat strands.

Sat down, and ordered, came almost imediately, however my ears were in such distress with the screams of the kid sitting on the opposite table, and the screeching noise from the tin drawer! OUCH!!!

The soup was piping hot, so a bit hard to taste the full taste, but went back next day for lunch and got a takeaway, ordered the set with snake soup, thick snake soup and snakes belly with fish maw.

The takeout was good, firstly the temperature was not as hot as in the shop, and the rice and meat have been placed in the lunch box without needing to spoon it out.
The meat was descaled nicely with skin attached, the meat in main dish reminded me of fried dace, the texture and taste, the stickyness from the fish maw reminded me of eating ducks feet. The snakes meat had an interesting fiery tinge to it, almost like pepper but slightly spicier than that. A good mix of fruit peel in it too.

As for the thick snake soup, it contained lots of snake meat, basically tastes as good as the fake sharks fin soup but better, because the pork isnt fresh in the sharks fin soup.

 

mind the screeching noise!!!!!!!!!!!

Microwave meals @ 鴻福堂

$28 for a meal and drink is a good deal I suppose.

The food is ok and there is a reasonable amount of variety.

The only reason I liked the pre-packaged food is that it seems clean and there is a reasonable amount of vegetables in it.
The drink was the best, I got the burdock tea with sweetcorn, and it basically tastes like sweetcorn and pork broth with carrots.
