Address: 100 Shaftesbury Avenue, London (Beside China Town)
Nearest Tube Station: Leicester Square Station
Food Rating: 3.5 out of 5

If you like cheap and 'ok' tapas-sort of Chinese food, and probably for some bubble tea and cold desserts, then this is one option for you.

Note: For Bubble Tea, I would rather go to Happy Lemon, ShareTea, Mooboo, or ChaTime.

Mango Pudding
This is OK but I would have preferred if it comes with Ice Shavings


Tom Yum Chicken, Sesame, Gyoza
You can order 3 plates for 10 pounds. Quite good to try it out then you can try several dishes.

Kiwi Crepe Roll with Ice Cream
Too much cream and the Kiwi syrup is so sweet.  I would prolly go for something else

Hong Kong Toast
Very Sweet, Buttery - but actually good! I suppose really unhealthy with so much better.

Location: 100 Shaftesbury Avenue, London W1D 5EE, UK

Lake Elsinore Walker Canyon Live Camera

By JC -
It's been really hard finding the live camera for Walker Canyon at Lake Elsinore so that I can check out if there is super bloom. Alas, they have one this year (2023) but the city decides to close it for safety reasons. I guess you can just see it from the Live Camera :( http://63.42.216.178:8088/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi

Tiger Sugar Instant Milk Tea Instructions

  Actual Tiger Sugar (This is their Black Sugar + Pearl Milk Tea with Mousse) Oolong (Red) and Peach (Green) Tiger Sugar Tea that costs like <$3.00 per cup March 13, 2021 I have tried "The Alley" instant milk tea, now I found Tiger Sugar Instant Milk Tea in the Chinese Grocery Store (Hong Kong Plaza) in Rowland Heights, CA and costing $2.98 each .  There were three kinds: The traditional Black Sugar, Oolong, and Peach.  Since I like my milk tea with actual "tea" so I only bought the Oolong and Peach Tea flavored one.  Now I tried looking for the instructions in YT, since there were no instructions in the cup (it was kinda all in Chinese).  So I googled and found the instructions in Etsy  (and priced there for $7.99 per set or 2 cups, kinda pricy as the mark up is like 25% more than in the supermarkets ) Where I bought it? Hong Kong Supermarket (18414 Colima Rd #1, Rowland Heights, CA 91748) Instructions: Submerge the Tea Bag into 450 ml (~2 cups) of hot water
