Before the Transformation of Kowloon City

The redevelopment of Kowloon City is an undeniable fact. Take the opportunity to savor the flavors you want to remember before it's too late! Next year, one of the areas to be demolished is the Municipal Services Building, which includes a market, a cooked food center, and a sports ground. I have some feelings about this Municipal Services Building. I still remember many years ago, during the inter-school table tennis competition, this was the venue. At that time, the sports ground didn't have air conditioning. During the lunch break, our coach would always take us to Lok Yuen for a meal. Back then, a plate of rice with a cup of milk tea or red bean ice was enough to make us very happy. Years later, I visited Lok Yuen again. The environment hasn't changed much. The biggest change is that you now have to use a QR code to place an order. I didn't expect the cooked food center in the market to keep up with the times like this. Since we planned to have another game, my dad and I only ordered a little to reminisce. The steamed rice rolls with dried shrimp were served piping hot, and the sesame and sweet sauce thoroughly coated each piece, making it hard to be anything but delicious. We also ordered the satay beef French toast. Simply put, it's satay beef stuffed inside French toast, topped with butter and syrup, giving it a sweet and savory taste. The freshly fried French toast was hot, fragrant, and crispy. The beef inside was tender and plentiful, but it lacked the satay flavor. Let's just call it beef French toast. Nowadays, drinking red bean ice and eating French toast no longer feels as amazing as it once did. Maybe it's because I've experienced more, or perhaps the taste isn't what it used to be. I'm not sure. Sometimes, we are just eating memories. Restaurant Information: Lok Yuen Shop 6, 3/F, Kowloon City Municipal Services Building, 100 Nga Tsin Wai Road, Kowloon City
