Wong Ah Ma Soya

I just can’t contain my excitement, so I’m writing this review just hours after eating at Wong Ah Ma Soya.
After becoming obsessed with Taiwanese breakfast whilst visiting Taipei, I researched where I could get my grubby hands on it in Hong Kong. It was a fruitless and devastating search, as I came up with nothing. I decided to ask my Taiwanese colleague and lo and behold — she stumbled upon Wong Ah Ma Soya!
My German friend (read: non-​Chinese speaking, like me) and I plotted our field trip to the Hung Hom neighborhood of Kowloon. Once we found the small storefront, the woman working shooed us away with a ‘No English!’. Oh, but that didn’t stop us. I had prepared for this situation in advance by requesting Chinese translations of the menu items we enjoyed so much in Taipei. I flashed my credentials, and we were allowed to take a seat. Victorious!
Though they didn’t have the egg pancakes we love so much, we did get to indulge in hot, sweet soy milk and the glutinous rice rolls stuffed with sugary pastry. Both items were every bit as good as we had in Taipei! For the two of us, we paid $ 40 HKD. That’s my kind of breakfast: cheap and outrageously delicious!
I think that lady is going to be seeing a lot of us! 2016 goal: She’ll have memorized our ‘usual’.
