Compared to 
Kim Gary that I reviewed previously, this is a HK Cha Chaan TnG, that is renovated to feel more like Stereotypical HK Cha Chaan TnG. 😅 The Music they play here are Canto Evergreens sometimes in Mandarin, sometimes in Canto. 🎵🎶

As I did further research, I think this is a F&B Franchise from KL? 🇲🇾🤔 Relatively Large Place, Bright and Colourful. Just like what Most Google Reviewers mentioned, this place is Never Crowded or Full even during Weekends. 🤔 Most of the Staffs here are Myanmar Folks who are Polite and Mostly Keep to Themselves. 👍 It took 2 Mins for the Tea, and 6 Mins for the Beef Noodles. Everything was served up within 6 Mins.

☕ M1.1 Hong Kong Styled Milk Tea (Hot, No Sugar) = RM8.00 (RM4.00 as part of Combo)


I liked that this is Part of a Combo Set which made it Slightly Cheaper at RM4.00. If you were to get this Ala-Carte, it would be RM8.00 🤔 Served in a Big Cup, I liked that they correctly followed my Request for No Sugar. ☕ That said, they still provided a Small Sachet of Sugar for anyone who needs.

I'm glad to inform that this taste Accurate to an Authentic HK Milk Tea that I have drank in Hong Kong itself. ☕😋 The Mix of Rich Creaminess and Robust Tea Flavour is Done Correctly. Nicely Done, this taste Legit.

🐮 B8(A) 港式牛肉粉 HK-Styled Signature Beef Noodles (3 Combo) = RM28.00
Beef Brisket, Beef Tendon, Beef Honeycomb Stomach Noodles

I'll be honest, I didn't get the Chance to eat HK Beef Noodles in Hong Kong itself. Heck, I didn't even know Beef Noodles is a Classic HK Dish tbh. 🍜 As such, I cannot confirm that this Taste Truly Authentic. 😅


The Chilli Condiment on the Side has a Bright Orangey Appearance kindda resembling Chicken Rice Chilli.
🌶️ It has an Elevated Level of Spiciness while doesn't bite, will still linger on your Tongue. 🌶️

Has a Almost Sourish Taste Profile and tastes quite close to Chicken Rice type of Chilli Sauce. Not Bad Chilli.



The Dish itself is Decently Presented in a Relatively Large Bowl which consists of:

🍜 Noodles (Hor Fun)
🍲 Soup Broth
🐮 2 Pieces of Beef Brisket
🐮 2 Pieces of Beef Stomach
🐮 4 Pieces of Beef Tendon
🍲 Quality of the Soup Broth

There is a Noticeable Aroma of Sesame Oil 麻油 wafting from this. 🍯 The Soup itself tastes More Braised than Beefy, Slightly Sweetish but not Overly So.

I detected a Slight Bit of MSG Added although not too much. 🐮🤔 Overall a Decent Tasting Slightly Sweetish Braised Taste with a Slight Hint of 麻油味 as an Aftertaste. 🍯🤔 Not Overly Oily, Not Super Amazing but Not Bad Tasting.


🍜 Quality of the Noodles (Hor Fun)


You have a Choice of the type of Noodle Carbs and I chose this Hor Fun (Kway Teow). Most Likely from a Package, I felt I made a Right Choice because this Kway Teow had a 软绵绵 Soft Texture that was Very Slurppable and Slide Down Smooth and Easy down my Throat. 🍜😋 Especially Shiok when soaked with that Decent Sweetish Soup Broth. Together with a Sprinkling of 酸菜 and Spring Onion, it was nice to 大口大口吃 this. 😋


🐮 Quality of the Beef Brisket

2 Pieces of these, they were not the Melt in Mouth type but still Tender enough and retains abit of Meatiness. 🍖😋 I enjoyed the Release of Gao Gao Beefiness as I bite into them. This was a Decently Done Brisket. 👍

🐮 Quality of the Beef Stomach

Soft and Tender, I really like the "Soft Carpet-Like Texture" brushing the Roof of my Mouth as I ate this. 🐮😋 No Wierd Taste and Soaked Nicely with that Broth, this was Nicely Beefy and Savoury.

🐮 Quality of the Beef Tendons

Came in Big Pieces. This was the Best of the Bunch. 👍 Soft Melt in Mouth Quality, and again soaked Beautifully with that Broth, this Dissolved Nicely and Went Down Easy. 😋

Conclusion and Closing Thoughts



At the Price of RM4.00 (S$1.30) when you order this as part of a Set, this HK Milk Tea tastes Legit Authentic to a HK Milk Tea that I tasted in Hong Kong itself. 🇭🇰☕

Rich, Creamy with a Robust Tea Flavour, this was Done Correctly. Even better and More Value for Money if you can get this as Part of a Set at RM4.00 (S$1.30) instead of paying the Ala-Carte Price of RM8.00 (S$2.50) 👍

At the Price of RM28.00 (S$8.70) is not say Cheap for this Beef Noodles, 🍜 but I thought this was done Decently. The Soup Broth isn't going to Blow your Mind or anything, but it was done Decently Well and did its part well enough for the Dish. 🍲👍 

I enjoyed the Soft 软绵绵 Soft Texture of the Kway Teow I chose which was Very Slurppable and Slide Down Smooth and Easy down my Throat. 🍜😋 Together with the Decently Done 一咬就跑破 Beef Pieces, the Whole Dish was nice to 大口大口吃. 🐮😋

It did get abit Jelak due to the Injection of the Beefiness for me Mid-Meal, 🐮🍜 but the Chilli Sauce they provided helped loads to try hit the Jelakness away by bringing in a Spiciness that enhanced the Dish. 🌶️ Ending the Whole Meal with a Cup of that Hot and Legit Tasting HK-Milk Tea rounded off the Meal Beautifully.

Overall, I have no issues with this Eatery. Prices felt Reasonable for what they are, and I'm especially happy that the HK Milk Tea actually taste Legit and Authentic Enough. ☕👍 No issues with Customer Service and everything else.

My Only Concern is how Empty and Lack of Customers this is. 🤔 Throughout my 2 Days of Observing this Eatery on Weekdays, its never Crowded with Customers and if the Google Reviewers are right, even Weekend also not really Crowded at all. 🤔 I do wonder how they can sustain if this is the Situation.

Overall, I enjoyed my time at this Eatery and I can recommend this if you are in the Mood for some HK-Styled Cha Chaan Tng Dishes. 🇭🇰 Very Decent HK Milk Tea, I wouldn't mind coming back here to indulge in another Cup and try their other Dishes. ☕😋
