Central Mid-levels Escalator --- Lan Fong Yuen 蘭芳園 @ Central, Hong Kong

Taken from Wikipedia

If you wanted to walk on a bridge from Sheung Wan to Central Mid-levels Escalators, you could use this map as a guide. Approximately 15mins walk with nice view around, tall buildings, Ding-ding bus and many more.  It is easy and safe walking on bridge where many CCTV is above your head and security guards stand on duty in every single building you passed by.

The escalator runs from Queen’s Road Central (皇后大道) to Conduit Road in Mid-Levels. It is a very long escalator which will divide its way for people to go on to the other road, depending on which road you want to go to. Take note of the time for the escalator going uphill and downhill direction. 

Uphill direction:       Central - Mid-Levels 10am to midnight daily
Downhill direction:   Mid-Levels - Central 6am to 10am daily 

Lan Fong Yuen 蘭芳園, is an old cafe since 1950s located between Central and Mid Level on Gage Street (結志街). Among most of the reviews from Trip Advisor, many tourists strongly recommend to drop by here for its famous "Milk Tea" (HKD$18 per cup) which is very popular in Hong Kong. Since it's only for takeaways, you can see many people queue by the road side, and some others will take a hot/cold plastic cup drinking by the side of the narrow road. 

Such narrow road with busy shopsss

After having tea at Lan Fong Yuen 蘭芳園, or you could even save your milk tea for egg tarts by walking a few distance ahead, dropping by at Tai Cheong Bakery Egg Tart 泰昌餅家(next post in my blogs).

Tai Cheong Bakery Egg Tart 泰昌餅家 @ Central District

If you are a fan of an egg tart, besides Macau Portuguese's Margaret Egg Tart and Lord Stow Bakery's Egg Tart, it is a must try at Tai Cheong Bakery Egg Tart located at Central Hong Kong. Usually, tourists hardly missed the chance to go there because the outer crust and the inner shinning golden surface has a different taste compared to the Macau Portuguese Egg Tart.

It is a stone's throw away from Lan Fong Yuen (蘭芳園), which is famous for milk tea. Alright.. let's get back to Tai Cheong Bakery Egg Tart ≧°◡°≦
The shop is not so big, always packed with people no matter tourists or local people with long queue along the corridor. Sadly, I did not get a chance to take photos of those packed foods inside.

 

 However, I am soooooo super lucky on that day because I managed to bought egg tarts fresh, which was just taken out from the hot oven !!!! ≧❂◡❂≦

 

TA-DAA ~~~ Just in time for teatime with hot golden shinny surface, buttery and soft in the inner part; and crunchy in the outer part. ☜(*▽*)☞

Price: HK$5 per egg tart
