Boyfriend and I spent a day exploring the newly redeveloped Tai Kwun Center (or the former Central Police Station). Of course, it was very hot out as Hong Kong summers are and we decided to duck to the closest restaurant inside and have a drink.MaoMaoEat is located on the ground floor of Tai Kwun.

MaoMaoEat is located on the ground floor of Tai Kwun. It's a small restaurant serving a few cha chan teng type items. Later, I found out it was a venture from Tsui Wah (major cha chan teng player).
Menu is in English and Chinese. There is no 10% service charge. You order and pay at the cashier and you go to a back room to pick up your meal. Completely self service.
But as it was hot outside, we wanted a drink so we ordered something that appeared interesting. Smoothies. I had the Tai Kwun Mango Smoothie (grande: $31) pictured on the left and boyfriend had Lemon Tea Smoothie with Honey (grande: $31) pictured on the right. What can I say? It was definitely icy cold. The mango was not that good. It didn't have much mango taste. Hui Lau Shan does it way better. However, the Lemon Tea smoothie faired better. It was like having an ice lemon tea with well ... a lot of ice. I think the tea part could have been stronger but it was not too bad. Price wasn't expensive and it full filled its purpose of chilling out on a hot day. The place is severely understaffed so no one really cleans the tables and no one takes their trays to a designated spot.
