The best Lemon tea I have had in Tai O

The lemon tea here is unique from the others served in Hong Kong.

It contains no lemon slices which give off a bitter taste due to the lemon peel.

When I saw reviews of this strange looking lemon tea I just had to try it, and it tastes just as good as the Lemon Tea at Greyhound.
The price of the lemon tea is cheap compared to Greyhound.

I rarely order Lemon tea in Hong Kong because the tea that they use is not my cup of tea and for cold lemon tea, you need to request for no syrup or less syrup because the standard ones are far too sweet but after requesting, it usually ends up far sweeter than it should.

As well as the taste, the appearance of the tea looks like tea with a few drops of milk added to it.
The lemon tea is served in a glass with a straw.

It was interesting watching them make the lemon tea because they make it like cocktails where they add various liquids and pour from one glass to another ensuring the lemon tea cocktail is mixed thoroughly.

First glass of lemon tea:
After I took a sip, I had to order a second glass because it was so nice I drank half a glass in one go.
The tea taste was apparent infused with strong lemon juice balanced by the gentle sweetness of the sweetener they used.
It was similar to the lemon tea at Greyhound but the tea taste was stronger.

Second glass of lemon tea:
This was made by different person from the first glass but it still tasted nice.
This one was slightly sweeter.

Instant noodles with five spice pork:
The broth was bright red but luckily it was not too spicy!
The noodles were just right and not too soft!

Extremely salty noodles from a double tragedy

Planned to go to Muzi the new dessert shop at the new Domain shopping mall.

According to their FB page, I went on the day they were scheduled to open, however when I got there it was not open yet.

Since it was not open, I tried to dine at the new Riso SEGRETO restaurant.

I managed to get a table but when I ordered the roast chicken was sold out so I left!!

Settled down at this place for some noodles which I thought was interesting because it was instant noodles braised in curry beef belly.
The English name for this restaurant was interesting: Poly Wealth!
It almost sounds like an investment company!

Instant noodles braised in curry beef belly:
When the noodles came, they looked like stir-fried noodles and not braised as there was not much sauce.
Anyway, the noodles tasted extremely salty that I needed to wash it in the red tea provided.
After rinsing the noodles it tasted normal.
The bowl of tea turned into salty broth that could be used for instant soup noodles!

Delicious instant noodles in cheese sauce @ Ka Wah

I am not fond of food from Chinese cafes but there were two choices that caught my eye today.
The stir-fried noodles in soy sauce with fatty beef and the instant noodles in cheese sauce with pork neck meat and burger patty.
This restaurant looked really old and grubby.
They also had lights on during broad daylight.

stir-fried noodles in soy sauce with fatty beef:
Although I do not like beef, the noodles itself were satisfying without the beef and there were slivers of onion and some sauce from the beef that was on the noodles, so the noodles tasted really nice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
instant noodles in cheese sauce with pork neck meat and burger patty: This was really fattening because it had cheese, pork neck meat and the burger patty was made with lots of fat too.
Again I did not eat the pork neck meat and burger patty, so just the noodles in cheese sauce was good enough because it was delicious.
It tastes even better than the starchy cheese sauce at Sun Kee’s and cheaper too!
The cheese sauce here was not milky.
There were dried herbs in the sauce so you could obviously tell it was made from some pasta sauce mixture or some western sachet soup.
The cheese sauce had chicken soup powder taste too.
Although it looked heavy, the taste was not that cheesy or sickly.
I believe the sauce is made from 80% soup/pasta sauce powder and 20% cheese.
The noodles also had pieces of mushrooms in it.

Soup:
Not fond of chinese soups but there was no CFC taste in the soup which was good.
If I knew the soup costs extra I would not have ordered the soup.
