As promised, on a rainy morning, I took the man to taste the famous Tai Cheong (泰昌餅家) egg tarts at Lyndhurst Terrace. No queues at the 11am timing that we went, and there were plenty of piping hot egg tarts on the shelves. Hahaha. We bought six tarts. I ate one tart. He inhaled five at a go. I blinked. He didn't realize how good the original tasted till today.
He also wanted his cold steamed milk pudding (雙皮奶) at Yee Shun Milk Company (義順牛奶公司). Okaaaay. Off we went to one of the many outlets in the city. We had to order two items because there were two of us, and the eatery imposed a minimum spend. So we also ordered the cold steamed milk+egg pudding (冰花燉雞蛋).
I took the courtesy two bites from each bowl. The man merrily slurpped up the rest. He was pleased as punch. I'm soooo NOT into them. I dunno, they're very nice meh? The man does like this sort of desserts. He would go on to have three more bowls of the steamed milk pudding over the rest of the week in Hong Kong. Zzzzz. Luckily for him, we've been walking loads in the city, and hitting the gym and the Megaformer studio. He could afford to up the intake of desserts, but he's still not allowed huge amounts of dairy, which are not conducive for his remaining salivary gland stones (that would require another minor removal surgery at some point).
