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!

Fish gas bladded mixed with pork skin

魚目混珠 珍珍假假食店

Finally this shop is listed, this used to be a shop just serving silky tofu and now they have changed their name to janjansikdim as they are selling other snacks.

Stopped by for some curried fish gas bladder (fish maw) for $20 because not many places offer curried fish gas bladder.

 

After I ordered, they took a skewer of fish gas bladder and removed the skewer and put the fish gas bladder pieces into the curry broth.
When it was ready, she put the pieces in the white bowl and I did not see her do that.

The pieces on the top were fish gas bladder but beneath it were at least three pieces of pigs skin!
I just felt they insulted my tastebuds if they thought I could not taste the difference!

But honestly, some people have said they could not tell the difference between the two but they should not use this to their advantage to profit!

 

I WAS NOT EXPECTING THEM TO PUT PIGS SKIN IN IT, WHICH WAS SO DISHONEST!
This place is definately not HALAL and you should be careful and see what you eat if you cannot eat pork.

If she put the pigs skin there by accident, then it really shows they are not professional ie they are fish gas bladder specialists and they cant tell the difference between pigs skin and fish gas bladder.

There is a slight visual difference between them, the pigs skin is more translucent and the fish gas bladder is more cloudy and you cannot see through it.

The fish gas bladder has a slight fish taste to it and the pigs skins does not.
The fish maw is softer and has a gelatinous texture in the middle whereas the pigs skin is springy and tastes different.
The colour of the pigs skin was darker because it was more porous and absorbed the curry sauce.
The curry taste was extremely strong and spicy because they probably hope you cannot tell the difference between pork skin and fish gas bladder.

I really regret not taking photos of the pig's skin and going back to tell them.

Salmon salad:

 

 

The portion of the salad was quite small and there were two small pieces of smoked salmon.
It was dressed in sesame sauce.
Overall the salad was quite refreshing and the sesame sauce was not too creamy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Baked potato:
This came with the salad but I forgot to take a picture of it.
It was a tiny foil dish with baked mashed potato.
The potato had cheese and bacon on top.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
green tea pudding:

 

The green tea pudding was nice, the sweetness was just right.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chocolate drink:

 

The chocolate drink also tasted nice too because it was not floury or milky.
It tasted like Nesquik's chocolate milkshake.
