I like to see how vibrant HK is at street level, its people and daily life. Its not a mess of skyscraper from a waterfront or from the Peak. Kudos!!

China Cafe 中國冰室 - One of the few traditional cafes left in Hong Kong

Definitely one of the best kept secrets of Hong Kong! These cafes usually serve cold drinks, ice cream and some pastries. They have the best milk tea in town! :)

Hong Kong-style milk tea, often known as dai-pai-dong milk tea, is a beverage originating from Hong Kong. It consists of black tea sweetened with evaporated milk, and is usually part of an afternoon meal in Hong Kong tea culture. Although it originates from Hong Kong, it is now also frequently found outside of Hong Kong, including restaurants serving Hong Kong cuisine and Hong Kong-style western cuisine.

A pineapple bun is a kind of sweet pastry popular in Hong Kong, Macau, some other areas in southern China, and in Chinese communities in North America. It is known in Cantonese as bo lo baau, in which "bo lo" means "pineapple", and "baau" refers to a kind of bun-like item in Chinese cuisine. It is commonly found in Chinese bakeries, and is mentioned quite frequently on TV, radio and films in Hong Kong.​
