Speaking of their signatures, besides the famous claypot milk tea and other authentic Hong Kong drinks, you’ve got to try their polo buns!
And yes, we’re talking about a whole range of polo buns with different butter flavors—matcha, chocolate, classic, mixed berry, and even Durian Musang King (with actual durian meat inside)!

Here, you’ll find authentic Hong Kong drinks like Claypot Milk Tea (Iced/Hot), Hong Kong Style Lemon Tea, and even a fresh Dragonfruit Hong Kong Lemon Tea drink! As for the polo buns, we’ve tried every flavor they offer on the menu. Let’s dive into what we tasted:
Durian Musang King Polo Bun: This polo bun is on another level—seriously, nothing else out there compares! Packed with loads of Durian Musang King meat, it tastes exactly like the real deal, all wrapped in a soft, crunchy, warm polo bun. Just thinking about it has us drooling!
Matcha Polo Bun with Mix Berry Butter: We’re obsessed with how the matcha flavor and berries come together! The slightly bitter, sweet taste of matcha pairs perfectly with the berries’ sweetness. It’s a delightful snack that’s truly special!
Matcha Butter Polo Bun: The matcha butter tastes amazing! With its slightly bitter and salty notes, combined with the rich aroma of matcha, it’s a refreshing twist on the classic polo bun. Perfecto!
Chocolate Butter Polo Bun: If you’re a fan of chocolate, you can finally enjoy it in your Chocolate Butter Polo Bun! Omg, it’s so satisfying to munch on from the very first bite—so creamy, buttery, and chocolatey!
Butter Polo Bun: If you love classic flavors, you have to try their Butter Polo Bun. It’s not like any other—you’ll experience an authentic Hong Kong taste that stands out from the rest!
Passion Fruit Hong Kong Lemon Tea: The passion fruit seeds add a delightful texture to the lemon tea, making it not only refreshingly delicious but also a fun surprise for your taste buds!
Hong Kong Style Lemon Tea: This lemon tea is extra tangy and citrusy, with a rich tea aroma. It’s incredibly refreshing with no bland notes—just pure, vibrant flavor!
Claypot Milk Tea (Iced): Brewed to perfection in a claypot, this tea is wonderfully concentrated! Adding a touch of milk makes it extra smooth and creamy! Slurp-worthy and delicious!
Dragon fruit Hong Kong Lemon Tea: Can you imagine? The Hong Kong Lemon Tea is already refreshing on its own, but with the addition of dragon fruit—BOOM! It not only tastes even better with extra texture but also looks stunning!
Claypot Milk Tea (Hot): Check out this authentic hot claypot milk tea, served in a stunning paper cup that captures the whole Hong Kong aesthetic! The addition of silky milk makes it extra smooth and delicious. So authentically Hong Kong!
