Hello my Steemit friends, this is @Shirlam the Foodie. First of all, THANK YOU @someone for posting this blog so that I have the chance to meet all of you!! ?
???Steemit ????? ?? @Shirlam?????? @someone ???????????????????!!! ?
As a local Hong Kong-er, I really hope to let you all know more about this place, especially the yummy food here! With its second name as the “Food Paradise” , Hong Kong will never disappoint you. Today I’d like to bring all my Steemit friends to this local Tea Restaurant – “Gala Café” located in Tsuen Wan.
???????????????????????????????????? ?!!!! ?????????????????????!! ????????????????????? ?? ???? (??) ?
About Gala Café ??????
Gala Café is a famous Tea Restaurant in Hong Kong. Every day, it attracts a lot of “foodies” (just like me) to have a taste of the Hong Kong Tea Restaurant culture.
????????????????????(??????)???????? ????? ???????????????????!
When I arrived there at noon, there were already 6 – 7 people queuing up outside.
????????????????????????
Gala Cafe can only serve around 30 people at one time and the seats were never spacious. Yet, it preserves a very genuine setup of a Tea Restaurant in the 90s.

What have I ordered? ??????
Beef sandwich with eggs ???????
The sandwich contains soft scrambled eggs and salty minced beef, which is a perfect match!! The bread is toasted on both sides, giving it a crispy texture. Each and every bite of it tastes like heaven (no exaggerating!).
????????????????????????!! ???????? (?????????)????????????????? (??????)!!!
Chicken wing rice noodles ?????
Apart from having tea here, you can always have a quick lunch here!! The chicken wings are marinaded with soya sauce and tastes really fresh. The portion is quite enough for me as lunch also.
????????????????????????????? ? ??????????????????????????????????????????????
Red bean cooler ???
This drink consists of the upper milk layer and the lower red bean layer.
????????????????????
It also gives you the satisfying feeling when you try to mix the milk on top with the red bean!!
???????????????????!!
“Tea Restaurant” Culture in Hong Kong
??????????
Tea Restaurant is a by-product of the Western restaurant in Hong Kong during the colonial period. People developed this kind of cuisine which was way cheaper than a formal Western restaurant; yet preserving the way of cooking with cheaper food, such as toast and omelet.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
In order to suit with the needs of the society, people brought in more variation to a Tea Restaurant. New food and drinks emerged, such as “coffee with milk tea”, instant noodles and red bean cooler. This best shows localization in the Hong Kong society.
????????????????????????????????????????????????
From a Tea restaurant, we can observe a lot of characteristics of Hong Kong-ers:
????????????????
Efficient ???
Flexible ????
Smart ??
If you think there is also other characteristic shown by a Tea Restaurant or you have other interesting experience in a Tea Restaurant, you are welcome to comment below!!!
