- Food Travel Log
- Caught off guard! The Hong Kong Museum of History has quality worthy of a paid museum but is free, blowing my mind! To fill the gap left by the mind-blowing experience, I sought treatment in the Hong Kong dessert, Hong Dou Bing (Red Bean Ice). A drink with milk and red beans, with a pleasant texture. If the milk had been more integrated, it would have been a romantic affliction.

- Red bean ice (hong dou bing) is a popular traditional dessert drink in Hong Kong and the Guangdong region, said to have been enjoyed since the Qing Dynasty. It is a simple concoction, typically made up of sweetened boiled red beans served with cold milk, though sometimes it is creatively enhanced with coconut milk or jelly. This dessert is often consumed to cool down during the hot season. In addition, the Hong Kong Museum of History is a popular free facility showcasing the rich history of Hong Kong, making it a great spot to experience local culture. By the way, even if you say you are "stunned," seeking solace in sweets might mean you have historically sought comfort in red beans numerous times. Could it be a case of a sweet tooth history zombie state!?
