Kopitiam Bagus.Bagus 捌哥.捌哥特色馬拉茶啡廳 (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★★☆

After meeting my hair stylist, I decided to return to Kopitiam Bagus.Bagus (捌哥.捌哥特色馬拉茶啡廳), one of my favorite traditional Malaysian café in town. I don't usually do lunch here but I was just happy to get this one out of the way.

Teh tarik (凍拉茶) – The ceylon tea wasn't as strong and fragrant as it normally was but it was nice to finally have my first Malaysian pulled tea in a few months. 

Ipoh chicken with bean sprouts and fresh chives (怡保芽菜雞) – The chicken leg was really really meaty. 

Butter kaya toast (鮮牛油咖央多士) – Of course, a trip here wasn't complete without their butter kaya toast.

The pandan flavors were noticeably tuned down a bit (as suggested by its color) but still very nice and addictive with that thick slab of frozen butter.

The owner who used to be sitting behind the cashier has been missing for nearly a year now. Jelloman and I were suspecting that he already made the move to Birmingham to start a brand new branch over there.

Jervois Cafe Sheung Wan 蘇杭冰室 上環店 (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★☆☆ (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★☆☆

It took me a week to get back to the swing of things after returning from Seoul but I am finally ready to roll again. Since I have the afternoon off, I thought I should venture over to Sheung Wan to see if my favorite boutique has any new clothes in store for me.



After trying out different new arrivals, it was already 3pm and I still haven't had lunch yet! My usual choice at this hour would be one of the ramen shops on Gough Street but not today. Not when I have been missing some of my favorite pantyhose milk tea during my time in Seoul. Next thing I knew, I found myself knocking on the door at Jervois Cafe Sheung Wan (蘇杭冰室 上環店).

Iced milk tea (凍奶茶) – The milk tea was pretty robust with a smooth, velvety texture but it could have been a little more fragrant. And on a personal note, a little more milk could have been the saving grace here as I like it more on the creamier side.

Scrambled eggs with barbecued pork on rice (滑蛋叉燒飯) – One of the most comfort dishes one could find from a local cha chaan teng. The soft and silky scrambled eggs were just perfect and although the barbecued pork was more on the lean side, it was a combination of flavors that I truly missed throughout the past week.

So happy and grateful that I got my milk tea fix this afternoon. The scrambled eggs with barbecued pork on rice wasn't bad either. This place is definitely worth a return trip.
