Friend walked past and there was no queue so here's to finally tasting @joyluck.teahouse because Im a lazy bum + mixed reviews made me think twice about queueing ๐Ÿ˜‚.

๐ŸŒŸ Egg tart (tart pastry) - there are two options and only tart pastry was left. It's really not back though.

Egg tarts are nicer when it's warm but in general, if you tabao, tart pastry is more likely to taste better than crust pastry I feel when it's cold. The filling itself is a good level of sweetness and very smooth jellyish texture while the tart, although it is tart, it does disintegrate and melt quite nicely in your mouth. It is still not as good as Tai Cheong but a good egg tart. Tai cheong's pastry is better (more buttery, more fragrant, maybe also more calories ๐Ÿ˜‚)

๐ŸŒŸPineapple Bun - there's not pineapple in pineapple buns FYI. Though most fans of HK food should know this lol. It didn't disintegrate badly - some buns tends to flake off excessively, and that makes it quite hard to eat. The texture on the outside is just right but inside could have been softer / more fragrant. It's alright. My personal preference is the pineapple bun at So Good Bakery at 111 Somerset.

๐ŸŒŸ HK Milk Tea - tasted more like yuanyang but it is quite authentic.

Food is decent but I wouldn't queue and based on the food we tried, I would go to other places if I miss HK food like Tai Cheong and So Good Bakery.

๐™€๐™œ๐™œ ๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ง๐™ฉ๐™จ: the custard is sweet and silky but definitely not #taicheong crust looks very typical of a bakery (hard tart version and not layered but it did have the melt in your mouth texture, ้…ฅ้…ฅ็š„)

Mushroom buns!!
The must order for mushroom lovers. Love how fluffy and soft the top part of the bun is, I can just eat that with the sauce inside haha. And yet the base is crispy! Like using flour strips to interlace and panfry it to make it crispy. So good!

You can the soft, silky rice flour skin wrapping around a thin layer of crispy youtiao that is encasing fresh sweet prawns. Aiyo, so yums.
