Macaroni

A classic Hong Kong breakfast - Macaroni Soup with Ham (火腿通粉) is usually served in "Cha Chaan Teng 茶餐廳"  an affordable restaurant for locals.   We usually call it Meal Combo A which has fried egg with toast, macaroni soup with ham, and then a cup of Hong Kong Milk Tea.   

傳統的香港茶餐廳早餐 - 火腿通粉。 茶餐廳文化在香港很普及,而且消費十分大眾化。 這款早餐香港人多數叫做"早餐A" (通常是早餐套餐的A款,跟煎蛋多士,火腿通粉,最後加杯港式熱奶茶)


Back to my working experience at "Cha Chaan Teng", my chef taught me to prep the macaroni by cooking it in hot water, blanch with cold water (啤凍水), drizzle with oil, and keep it in the fridge for later use.   For serving, first, we prepare the soup base by adding a can of creamy chicken canned soup (get rid of the chicken cubes & sweet corn), then bring it to a boil.  Here comes the soup base, when we have an order, add the cooked macaroni, cook for 2 mins, and then sprinkle with ham slices.  "Service" 

曾經跟茶餐廳師傅共事,得到寶貴的實戰經驗。 通粉會預先煮至八至九成熟,然後過冷河或稱為啤凍水,即是急促降溫的意思,然後拌入熟油,存放雪櫃備用。 湯底一般茶餐廳做法是煮大鍋滾水,加入已隔走雞粒及粟米的忌廉湯,放入通粉多煮一至兩分鐘,上碟,然後加入火腿碎。

A little spicy surprise at the end. 😋 seaweed men A little spicy surprise at the end. 😋

seaweed mentaiko tamagoyaki @smoked_tamago 

The first bite was all about the silky egg and delicate aroma of seaweed. Soft, comforting, and beautifully balanced.

Just when I thought the story had ended, the mentaiko quietly made its appearance — bringing a gentle burst of umami and a hint of spice.

It didn’t steal the spotlight from the egg.

Instead, it completed the whole experience.

Simple ingredients often reveal the most skill.

No wonder this tamagoyaki was crowned Scotland’s Street Food Champion 2025 🏆

Even my Japanese friend approved. 😋

Some dishes don’t need to be complicated.

So proud of you, Hongkonger😊

They just need to do the simple things exceptionally well.
George Michael taught me the importance of being t George Michael taught me the importance of being true to yourself and listening to your own heart.

Growing up in Hong Kong, while many children around me were listening to Cantopop, an eight-year-old girl was already humming Careless Whisper. I would spend my pocket money on cassette tapes and read the lyric sheets over and over again, looking up words in the dictionary. My dream was simple: one day, I wanted to meet him.

Decades later, that little girl is now living in the UK. Life has taken me further than I could ever have imagined, yet sadly I never got the chance to meet him.

Perhaps that is George Michael’s greatest legacy for me. His music crossed cultures, languages and generations, and accompanied me through different chapters of my life. He showed me that following your own path is not always the easiest choice, but it is the most honest one. #georgemichael #lastchristmas #tonightthemusicseemssoloud

On my way home, I spotted Malay Laksa and simply c On my way home, I spotted Malay Laksa and simply couldn’t resist bringing a bowl home 😍

The lovely owners packed everything separately — broth and toppings apart, while the tofu puffs were left soaking in the soup to absorb all that delicious flavour.

Takeaway dishes can sometimes lose a little magic, but so much thought has gone into the details here that it still scored top marks at home.

Even my notoriously picky husband couldn’t stop praising the pork belly and the rich, comforting broth 😍

And for those who don’t eat meat, there are vegetarian options too 🌱

@malay_laksa Edinburgh’s laksa champion, without a doubt. Thank you for bringing such wonderful food to our city 💕
