The frequency of Hong Kong-style cafes in Hong Kong dramas is very high, almost every episode will hear pineapple oil, mandarin ducks or Jaimei, sandwiches, Xiduo these familiar food names. All of these can be eaten at Bak Yo.
Indeed, the most prominent thing inside this restaurant is also that huge pineapple bun advertised at $11 a piece. However, at this meal time, the pineapple buns are not available, so you have to eat.
There are many varieties of rice here. Swiss chicken 肶 slippery egg rice, Swiss chicken wings five tenderloin fried egg rice, pan-fried chicken steak gumbo tomato vermicelli noodles ...... names are quite long. However, the name of long has the advantage of long, you can look at a glance to know what is inside, unlike some of the menu to read, let a person as a fall into the fog, do not know what they ordered.
This Swiss Chicken Wings, Sweet and Sour Five-Way Fried Egg Rice is a fried egg over white rice, then topped with some shredded five-way willow, and finally put a soy sauce chicken wings on top.
This rice was a bit of a failure for me. Wuliu is a kind of pickled vegetable wuliu cai from Guangdong. Wuliu is a pickle made from five kinds of vegetables, including green papaya, carrot, buckwheat, big meat ginger and cucumber, which has a sweet and sour taste, and all these five kinds of pickles are cut into thin strips, shaped like willow.
The portion of shredded five-willow inside this rice is very small, and after picking for a long time I found only a few shredded papaya. Then the portion of shredded green pepper and onion was huge, and the spicy flavor of the green pepper and onion greeted me as soon as it was served.
I think the portion of green peppers and onions was really too much, and the whole meal had me wondering if I was eating egg rice with green peppers and onions. But putting aside the aspect of shredded onions and green peppers, that fried egg was done okay, and the flavor just wasn't particularly sour, with the right amount of acidity and sweetness. It's just that I find vinegars these days to be weird, they all feel like they have a choking sensation as soon as they're served.
There is a nostalgic pineapple ice in the menu. I ordered one because I miss the pineapple ice from the Southern Ice House on Chang An Road.
This pineapple ice tastes completely different from the pineapple ice in the former Southern Ice House. The pineapple ice in the southern ice room is sugar ice water inside the pineapple, this inside the inside of the inside of the smoothie, plus fresh pineapple grains, topped with an ice-cream. The pineapple was a bit sour, and then the smoothie tasted a bit indescribably weird, and all in all it just didn't taste like the pineapple ice I remembered.
Turning back to the next table, I ordered a square of what we usually call pillow bread. It was about half the size of a square bun. The center of the bun was hollowed out and the filling was put inside. I watched the young lady eat it with gusto, but I felt full because the bread was too big.
The environment of this place that seat arrangement is not very spacious, basically only a single face to face sitting position. But this is normal. Because in the Hong Kong-style cafes, it is the kind of fast-paced to eat and go, not suitable for a long time there to hang out and chat.
Inside the cafeteria food fumes filled the entire dining area, thick smoke and fire, so it is not long to sit. This is indeed also let a person feel the old style of teahouse.
However, the business of this store is very good, people come and go. The diners all rotated in and out in the half hour it took to sit down and eat. The food I ordered today probably just wasn't quite right for me.
