EATs Hong Kong: Yee Shun Milk Company's Steamed Milk

Ever heard of steamed milk?  Well, yeah - every coffee house serves this!  But in Hong Kong, it means an entirely different thing.  I've read about this steamed milk dessert on the internet for years, but I never got to try it, ever.  I was told by a friend, Talia - to look for Yee Shun Milk Company in Causeway Bay.  Since, I don't go to CWB that much, we just  breezed through and walked by this place.  At least, I knew where it was at.  So finally during the recent trip - we got the chance to try it!  I didn't know what to expect.  The place is small, but it's always full of people.  We decided to go after one of our dinners.  We went inside with no clue what to order, but then it was recommended that we get the Steamed Milk in Two Filn (I think they meant film - for whatever reason, I had no idea).

The steamed milk was served almost immediately - and this is how it looked like:


This is the Steamed Milk.  
It was very good, I loved the silky texture and since I LOVE milk, I loved every single bite!  The sweetness was just right.  It's a very very simple dessert - my first impression was *this is it?* Hahaha!!  Yes, I judged it immediately.  I remembered my friend Talia mentioning that she had a second serving.  I honestly wondered, why?  But when I tasted it - I immediately knew.  As Talia would say *walang share share!*.  She was absolutely, right!  It was really yummy.  It's not the best - but for the humble milk, sugar and egg whites - this was really really good!



My Panget had this Steamed Milk with Coffee

Well, it was good, but not as good as the ordinary Steamed Milk.  He liked mine better, so I had to share (as usual!)  I felt that this was made to answer the variety, but for me, it wasn't at par.  The texture though, was the same - silky.  Maybe because it was coffee that I didn't like it as much?


If you happen to be in Causeway Bay - try this for a change.  It's not just a dessert place, they also offer breakfast items like french toast and more.  They open at 11am and closes at 12midnight.  The staff, well the main staff knows how to speak English and they also have an English menu - I asked for this because I don't like to stress myself in reading a Chinese menu (when they have an English one, hahaha!!)

The next day, we saw that there was a long line to be seated.  I just ordered for take away and it was much faster!  hahaha.. :)  Panget wanted the steamed milk with some red bean toppings.  He said that it was better than the coffee one. 

Yee Shun Milk Company is located along Lockhard Road in Causeway Bay, it's the street of Sogo's back entrance.

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip something up with just ing
