[Jayboogz]

milk tea @ home. double redrose tea bags steeped for lil bit add milk and sugar to your desire..

[Expresso]

For HK style, I like Lido or Deer Garden, Fraser.

+1

[Vale46Rossi]

Lido with pineapple bun :D

[wingies]

fairbee? You serious? totally watered down and loaded with sugar

[bcrdukes]

In no particular order:

Alleluia, Lido, and I'm going to go with Deer Garden.

Kam Do upped the quality of their milk tea recently so I'll throw them in there for honourable mention. I always get my milk tea half sweet.

[gearshifter]

The cafe underneath Ninkazu in Richmond, by aberdeen... forgot its name.

thats lido

[j.f0ng]

Deer Garden and Silver Tower are my go-to places

[chin3se604]

I usually get my milk tea with a meal at Mambo Cafe in Aberdeen

[blee123]

thats lido

Lido is a rip off. Charges like $4 for a cold milk tea and the cup is hella small too with half of it full of ice and if u tell them to add less ice, they'll start giving you attitude :devil:


*this is without a meal of course

[civiccer]

Why has no one mentioned Pearl Fever? So good.

[Vansterdam]

anyone wanna hook up a good recipe so i can make this shit at home lol

[civiccer]

haha.... but that would mean finding a place the supplies powdered taro... I don't even know where to buy that stuff!

[bcrdukes]

Typically you can't. Each restaurant has their own blend of teas making it unique.

[SkinnyPupp]

Best one in HK IMO is Tai Hing. Although I haven't been back since it turned into a huge chain restaurant, so I'm not sure if it's still good. Last time I went, it was really good :)

btw I see a lot of people listing bubble tea places... which kind are you talking about when you say 'milk tea'? For me, that has always meant the HK kind, and the Taiwanese kind was 'bubble tea' even without the bubbles. For me, it means it's just a powdered tea drink, and not very good.

It's a bit of a mixed bag here. A lot of places now serve Taiwanese style milk tea which IMO tastes like garbage. A majority of the places listed in this thread however serve an HK style milk tea.

the deer garden one is so damn strong.
have one in the afternoon, im not sleeping for a while.

[Ikkaku]

I haven't been to kam do in a while, but I found theirs to be strongest, just imo.

Agreed with the rest: lido, deer garden are pretty good as well, in terms of milk tea and not bubble tea.

After spending 3 weeks in HK having milk tea and egg tarts every afternoon, I simply quit after I came back since no one here can make them nearly as good ...

Yeah I like that even the average places will have good drinks. As long as it's not a chain (typically - some are OK) and ultra ghetto, it's all good :)

That's why I could only really pick out one that stands out. On average they're all good :)

[civiccer]

Okay, since it was mentioned.... where can you get really good egg tarts?
The best ones I've ever had were at the Kirin Seafood Restaurant, where they don't have them on the menu and you have to be a lucky patron in the restaurant when they are passing around trays of them until they are sold out..... I LOVE EGG TARTS!!!
So if anyone knows any really good ones that are a regular menu item somewhere, I'd appreciate the info!!

[kevin7352]

L&G Bubble Tea on Fraser.
Get the Milk Tea Slush
It's $3 with or without pearls and should be on the sign at the counter.

I'm with you on Kirin. Totally choked when I can't get my fix.

The ones at Fortune House are pretty close, but the crust isn't exactly the same :okay:

My gf's parents and their friends all seem to be enamoured with Anna's. I am not a fan of the crumbly type of crust, so I don't like them at all.

Why has no one mentioned Pearl Fever? So good.

I LOL'd at this one. Not because I thought you were on crack, but because it's one of my go-to places for milk tea but I couldn't bring myself to say so here :D For milk tea it's this place (with pudding and malt) or straight cold from a stall in the Aberdeen food court (they're almost all the same to me). Usually the one with the good wings/squid/soup, beside Cafe D-Lite, since I usually get it with wings and squid lol.

the best egg tarts ive tried is at this small bakery in north burnaby near holdem and broadway. so fukin good but always sold out....

[Gerbs]

The kam do one is really sweet i like it.

If you're thinking Kam Mun (beside what was Fair Market, now Buy-Low), they've seriously gone downhill. 3 years ago when I moved across from them they were the best egg tart in the city for sure.

3 years later and multiple chances given, they've become undercooked and soggy. Not what they used to be :okay:

[sh0n]

My fav 3 in this order.

1. Lido
2. Mambo Cafe in Aberdeen. $2 for large icy cold milk tea
3. Deer Garden

[a00755836]

kam do and lido. but in a food court, i go to mambo cafe. lol, most of us mention places in richmond.

[m3thods]

tried mambo cafe today and it was a bit strong/sweet for my liking. For the Aberdeen food court I'd probably stick with Wu Fung Dessert's milk tea.

[rk604]

It's really close to milk tea…but try the place beside Richmond Sushi. It is a Taiwanese restaurant…

Jasmine Tea + Whip Cream (mix the whip cream in…it taste similar to milk tea but doesn't have the powdery taste to it)

[Obsideon]

After spending 3 weeks in HK having milk tea and egg tarts every afternoon, I simply quit after I came back since no one here can make them nearly as good ...

My thoughts EXACTLY ... just got back from HK a couple weeks ago ... and I've been spoiled rotten!
I will no longer have milk tea (and egg tarts) in Vancouver, the egg tarts in HK were so creamy, smooth and aromatic! I didn't even know they could be made like that! The ones in Vancouver don't even compare, they taste like week old jello...

[Verdasco]

anyone know the best place for wheat germ? i tried it once and it is the one with the tea pudding or w/e it's called

[Derek_N84]

I miss HK milk tea and egg tarts so much ... :(

So far Lido comes the closest IMO, and if you're lucky ...grab an egg tart fresh from the oven. its pretty close to a sub par one in hk :notbad:

[kakucaekz]

Lido's milk tea is awesome, Kam Do's is pretty good too. Lido's bo lo baos though, soooo god when they're fresh from the oven :sweetjesus:

[Ikkaku]

IMO the places that serve the 'wheat germ' milk teas usually just use instant cereal. We have a bottle of wheat germ at home and I can tell you they have a more distinct taste than what we are served.

something like this http://www.miraclemall.net/images2842012/category/499/9308/rz_miracle_888_instant_cereal_ori.jpg

[keifun]

Lido and Angel Cafe are my picks when I head over there for a HK breakfast.

When I was in chinatown in NYC, their milk tea was Lipton tea bag with lots of evaporated milk in a paper cup at a bakery shop. completely different. but it was $0.80 a cup

[meowjinboo]

Ever tried Asia pork vs north america pork?
