BondAdpp?tit: Milk Tea Mondays: Tea Lane
Tucked away in the corner of a Hong Kong supermarket plaza lies a fairly new tea shop called Tea Lane. Established this year, Tea Lane is a quaint, homey tea shop with a touch of sophistication. ?Their barista area looks so classy that it would make other coffee shops jealous.
The bowl of noodles looked small but it was very filling. ?It came with minced beef and topped with bean sprouts. ?It was flavorful and had enough seasoning to it. ?The warm salad that came with it was a bit bland and I didn't really eat that much of it.
It's a small, inviting shop that boasts a reasonably priced food and drinks. Their food is Taiwanese and they have a special combo menu that is only $6 per combo. ?This deal is only from 11:30am-9:30pm, so plenty of time to order it! From this combo menu, I ordered their cold noodles. ?It came with a warm salad and my choice of two skewers.

I ordered the lamb and chicken gizzard skewers. ?You tell your waiter how much spice you want on it. ?I asked for medium but that still was not spicy enough for me. ?The skewers had Indian flavors to it and the smell of the spices were strong. ?I liked both and I'm glad the chicken gizzard was not over-chewy.?
Our waiter recommended the Hokkaido milk tea. ?At first, I could not put my finger on the taste of it. ?My friend said that it had a hint of barley tea flavor. ?It was very smooth, creamy, and milky. ?It did not have a hint of powder in it. ?I came here a second time and finally ordered an almond milk tea.?
I was a bit disappointed in their almond milk tea. ?Like the Hokkaido milk tea, it was smooth and milky; however, it was completely lacking the almond flavor. ?It was not too sweet but I felt that I was drinking just flavored water. ?I like this place so I'll overlook the almond milk tea and try other things on their menu.Service:?Impeccable. ?The waiters are friendly, polite, and would come by and ask you how everything is going. In addition, if you are?unsatisfied?with your drink, they will take it back and make it less strong, add more sugar, or whatever your request is.
Price: ?Reasonable. ?Drinks range from $3-$4 but they serve it in a huge mug. ?The $6 combo is also a great deal. My waiter said it was the smaller meal but it satiated my appetite. ?There is another special combo for about $11 that I may look into next time.
Food and drink: ?Despite my disappointment in their almond milk tea, I liked the Hokkaido milk tea. ?I also sampled a few sips from my friends' drinks and I liked their orders too. Their skewers are tasty but not a fan of their salad. ?I'm interested in tasting the rest of their menu.
Tea Lane is not as crowded as other places, which I like. ?I will definitely be coming back since I have a stamp card to fill. ?They accept card but it is a minimum of $10, so better bring cash. Tea Lane also offers free Wi-Fi! Since it's located in the Hong Kong supermarket plaza, parking is readily available. Check it out!
