I haven't actually been to that many 冰室's before and even if I probably did, I can't even remember the name in Chinese after a while. The prime example being here: I once lived close to here in the area many years ago, moved overseas, came back occasionally for holidays/work experience and grandma lives near here, now I'm back finally and the new house's is a bit further walking distance wise, but still well within reach when not lazy... YET - I still can't remember the name of this place! All
EGGS WITH SATAY BEEF TOASTED SANDWICH:
The eggs here are what I would call 'scrambled', similar to Aust Cow. In fact the quality isn't too shabby, its definitely very good but we all know nothing beats the Jordan place, which has set the bar very high. The Satay beef here don't carry much satay flavour however, the positive being that it hasn't had a lot of chemical treatment either - treat it as satay and you'll be disappointed, but otherwise its tender and flavoursome!
The bread here are thickly sliced, I like them toasted when with beef & eggs, or not-toasted when only eating it with eggs or eggs with luncheon meat. Never thought about why I have that preference, but perhaps its because the beef is a bit 'wetter'?
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
FRENCH TOAST:
Unfortunately the French Toast here are way below-average. The toast slice is cut even thicker than the above, but there is no middle layer of spread inside. Its literally a French Toast without the plural 's' behind it!
In reality, French 'French Toast' are cooked only after the bread has soaked up a couple of eggs worth of yolk, so they're not crispy after cooking. The HK localized version soaks up slightly less and only has the eggy coating outside, but anyone that has cooked HK French Toast will realise that even a standard sized piece of bread easily soaks up 2 eggs. The 2nd reason why I don't like the one here then, is because there is hardly any egg influence nor strings of it attached from the frying. So it lacked both eggs and say peanut butter spread contribution.
$12 for 1 piece of thick toast and a bit of syrup and salty butter is steep, hence I'd rather order the sandwiches for only similar or $2 more.
NOT RECOMMENDED.
"COFFEE:"
These aren't grinded on demand but like most original shops they employ Tsit Wing here. The version I get here seems to be very bitter even after the addition of evaporated milk, it must have been boiled under high temperature for a tad too long somehow too as its becoming Turkish coffee territory. It does have a roasty coffee taste that wakes u up but its not aromatic, the main problem. Its nowhere near as good as Cafe De Coral or Pizza Hut's grinded-on-demand coffees - if comparing Apples with Apples and methods of making... the latters usually are quite aromatic and sweeter, provided you put in the evaporated milk.
With 'black coffees', some Japanese shops like Suzuki, UCC, Pokka, etc, or even the included ones in lunch sets in a a typical TST or CWB izakaya/restaurants just seem to have an edge on us somehow!
"MILK TEA"
The version here is normal LIPTON. There's nothing wrong with 'Thomas', they make a good, mean red tea provided the shop uses it properly. The version I got today was already pre-mixed but I find the tea in this shop to vary in taste a lot, even within the same batch when 2 teas arrive at the same time.
The evaporated milk is obviously added without careful scientific measurements to keep it consistent! Having said that, the tea flavour is strong enough here usually, even slightly aromatic. Doesn't have a lot of flavour depth however and not smooth either - I'm sure I've had better HK Milk Teas out there.... can't remember where though!
- THIS SHOP HAS AIR CONDITIONING AND IS QUITE HYGIENIC.
- HOWEVER FROM MEMORY THEY CLOSE EARLY AT AROUND 6:30pm.
- GO FOR THE EGG SANDWICHES ! TEA'S GOOD, COFFEE REALLY STRONG. 滷水牛展三文治 or 豬扒飽 ALSO WORTH TRYING, THE 1ST BETTER THAN THE 2ND PERSONALLY!
