Think most of you will notice this retail chain of shops appearing almost everywhere from MTR stations, airport, shopping malls, etc. Definitely popular and don’t need any reviews. But to some tourist, especially those non-Chinese, they might not know WTH this shop is all about. Writing this also because of my muslim friends who frequent HK often and they may wanna try this.
I have membership card for this because I love their Herbal Jelly (Kwai Leng Gou) which is very strong in herbal taste. It is said to be made from the ‘gel’ from the insides of the turtle shell… But I believe they don’t use that anymore… where got so many turtles for you to scrap the ‘gel’??? Nevertheless, I’m still taking it because of the medicinal benefits as Chinese believe in having a balance between heatiness and coolness in the body. Ask the ladies over the counter, they are more than willing to introduce you what to drink or consume at their stores!
This is the shop at Futian Customs which I frequentBe prepared to stand and eat, if not take away. Behind me is the fridge full of pack soups, snacks, etc. Some with pork, some not. A big bowl of Herbal Jelly. Not cheap at HKD$40+ but what you pay is what you get. Quality!Sugar syrup is provided but if you are the gungho type, go ahead without!Tea Eggs... HKD$8 for 2. Full of taste and very fragrant. Can't get this taste back home in SG or anywhere else.Siew Mai... Can't remember how much... HKD$8 for 6 pcs or something like that. But no pork inside. Only fish and flour.Teochew Kueh... Something like our soon kueh but this one not so nice.Was catching a cold so I was recommended this drink for HKD$20. They have warm or chilled ones for all their drinks. Price range for drinks around HKD$12-$20. All filled to the brim, so becareful when you're opening the caps!
The drink was so bitter that the lady gave me a traditional orange peel sort of like candy. It helps a lot!Looks like this...
Rating: 5/5. Service is good and food is of high quality and hygiene.
Ok it reads Fan How Tim Ban in Cantonese or in English, it means desserts after rice… or meals… It’s just opposite the famous B仔凉粉 but I heard the latter’s standards have dropped. So I tried this stall which is renown for their Durian Pancakes, super crowded and they occupy like so many shop houses along the road and behind… amazing business they have!
See how crowded the place is? Wah lau... business damn good...Inside the shop... the guys inside the kitchen area were working non-stop and keeps churning out bowls and bowls of dessert!Mixed Fruits Jelly (杂果凉粉) - Very refreshing. Basically it's just fresh fruits and jelly at the bottom. But it's nice lah. 🙂Braised mid section wings... nice snack! Chee Cheong Fun with fishballs... in curry sauce, sweet bean sauce and sesame sauce. Love this.Durian Pancakes!!! The skin is super soft, the durian taste is power! Tasted like D24 inside! Love it!

Each pack is HKD$28.Fresh cream with durian paste... superb formula to gain weight but the taste is just so irresistible!!!Address of the place from my takeaway bag...
