Tai Ping Koon @ Hong Kong [TST]

Tai Ping Koon is a MUST for the giant souffle. At first I didn't know that the family was referring to "souffle" because they kept calling it "sa foo lay" and I had no idea what that was. I looked in the menu, and voila English! Thank you! This souffle is meant to be eaten by two people, but the size of it...well even 5 people couldn't finish it! Apparently this place has been around for years and it's quite cute inside. Good service. Clean. Yummy food and funny story with the "swiss chicken wings."

Beef Chow Fun
hmmmmm :P

Swiss Chow Fun
a sweeter version

Swiss Chicken Wings
ok funny story, it's not really "swiss." but apparently back in the day europeans came to eat at this restaurant and waiter served this chicken to them, they liked it a lot and kept saying "sweet chicken, sweet chicken" and of course the chinese misinterpreted it and understood it as "swiss chicken" thinking this is what is "'swiss' chicken." awkward turtle. ha

Ox Tongue Sandwich
doesn't taste like tongue, that's a plus in my book!

SOUFFLE!!!!! 
trust me when i say this thing is HUGE, and it's meant to only serve 2 people. what does it taste like you ask? well you know those yellow sponge cake thingies you can get at chinese bakeries? it's like that, but a lot more fluffy, airy and just WOW. the best. 

after 5 people attempted to finish it...too much my friend
