Yee Shun Dairy Company - Causeway Bay, Hong Kong
When I was living in Taiwan, I was confounded by the popularity of "milk flavored" products. Milk flavored pudding. Milk flavored popsicles. Milk flavored ice cream.
To an American like me, "milk flavored" means WHO FORGOT TO PUT IN THE ACTUAL FLAVOR?
But then, my first experience with "milk flavored pudding" was a Yoplait pudding at 7-11. It was underwhelming to say the least. So I thought the entire concept was ridiculous.
Then I went to Hong Kong and picked up a booklet at the airport, "Eat Your Way Around Hong Kong." Man, let me tell you, BEST BOOKLET EVER. Every single suggestion I took from that thing was rock solid. And Yee Shun Dairy Company was no different.
My bowl of milk pudding was homemade and supremely creamy, presenting the natural milk and egg flavor. In fact, for something of this quality, you don't want a strong flavor distracting you. You ought to be savoring the texture.
It cost HK$20 (~$2.50US), and came with that glass of tea at no extra charge. :)
Incidentally, if you're wondering why it has been literally months since my last post, I had digital camera problems. I'm still sort of having them, but I don't want to abandon this blog, so I'm putting up a few posts with images I had already uploaded.
THIS IS A SUMMARY:
