Food 1. Tea shop: When I first heard it in a tea restaurant, I looked puzzled. "Tea goes", there is no tea, only milk. Why not just order a glass of fresh milk? Later, when asked, I realized that the real meaning was that condensed milk should be used instead of sugar and light milk in milk tea, which would make the milk taste of milk tea more fragrant. When you visit Hong Kong, you can also order a cup of "take-away tea".

Author: new sauce

2. Coffee: Similarly, do not add sugar and light milk to coffee, and use condensed milk instead.

3. flying sand and stones, flying sand and milk: do these two words have the feeling of martial arts novels? "flying sand and stones" means no sugar or ice; "Feisha milk" means no sugar or milk, but it is actually black coffee (called caffeine in Hong Kong). I've never heard anyone order food like this in a tea restaurant. If you have the courage and are not afraid of embarrassment, you can try to place an order like this.

4. Take ice as an example, less ice, less sweetness, less sweetness: I don't know whether Hong Kong people are particularly demanding or Hong Kong's service industry is particularly caring. If you order a drink in any restaurant, fast food restaurant (McDonald's, KFC) or desktop beverage store, you can ask the clerk: ice (no ice), less ice (less ice), sweet (no sugar) and less. Some table-top beverage shops can also ask for seven cents and half cents.

5. Zou Qing: This is for friends who hate chopped green onion and coriander! If you order food such as porridge and noodles, you can ask the waiter to "remove the green", which means you don't want seasonings such as chopped green onion and coriander. You can even order some side dishes that you don't want to eat, such as the famous bridge deck line shop in Hong Kong "take leeks" (don't eat leeks). Some restaurant staff will also ask you intimately whether you need to "go green"?

6. Bottom buckle: I believe you will often hear that some big men will ask the waiter for "bottom buckle", which means double meals or noodles. "Deducting the bottom" means begging less. If you really eat less, you can ask for "double buttons", that is, less rice and less vegetables. What's more, you have to pay more for "bargain hunting", generally 3-5 yuan? (It depends on the menu, each family is different), and if you "deduct the bottom", some will reduce the money, and some will not, mainly because you have to read the menu clearly.

7. Set meal: There are so many kinds to choose from in the tea restaurant. From breakfast to dinner, the menu is different.

Breakfast is usually open until morning 1 1. There are usually fried eggs, flour, sandwiches and so on. Fast food: it is only served in the afternoon market, and most of them are foods with enough weight to be served quickly, such as fried rice with tofu and pork chop with onion. Ordinary food is just like foreign food.

Break is available all day. However, the menu has remained unchanged for many years, mainly consisting of cream buns, noodles and election columns. Afternoon tea is usually from 2: 30 to 5: 30, mainly cooking and snacks. Such as fried chicken, toast, salad, etc. Dinner is usually light cooking, such as plum meat pie rice, fried heart with oil consumption, etc. Some restaurants will also have iron plate meals, such as chicken chops and steaks, and will also give away soup and drinks. But the price of dinner will be more expensive than the afternoon market, which is what I have always wondered.

Other 1. Eating is very expensive. Eating an ordinary meal in an ordinary restaurant is about 2 ~ 3 times that in Guangzhou. Spending 65,438+000 yuan in Hongkong feels like spending 30 yuan in Guangzhou.

2. The traffic is very expensive. Buses are charged progressively, and many times they are forced to take expensive cars for short trips. If you don't cross the sea, the subway will sometimes be cheaper. Tunnel lines, express lines and airport lines are more expensive. It's only a dozen or twenty dollars to take a bus.

Subway crossing the sea, airport line, Disney line and going to Lo Wu/Lok Ma Chau will also cost extra.

The air conditioner is not as cold as the legend, and the temperatures of the shopping malls, restaurants and buses I have been to are all within the acceptable range.

It is unacceptable that most public toilets use toilets. The toilets in some parks are really untidy! ! !

The service attitude of shopping malls and restaurants is not as bad as some people describe. It feels similar to Guangzhou (opened by locals). My aunt in the tea restaurant has the same attitude as my aunt in the snack bar downstairs.

6. A slightly higher-end restaurant will add a service charge and cry.

It is said that one day I decided to go to a Japanese restaurant to eat La _. When I ordered, the price was clearly marked as 100 yuan, but when I checked out, it was 100 yuan. According to the original instructions, there will be an extra service charge of 10%.

7. There are so many traffic lights, I wonder if there is a green wave belt. Traffic lights can be set at any intersection, which I believe anyone who has been to Tsim Sha Tsui in Central can understand.

8. There are many elevated overpasses, which are more complicated. Double-decker buses are reserved for walking, which is particularly high. What kind of spicy chicken is the Tianqiao in Guangzhou?
