sleepless tea

had a ice milk tea (hk style) at my favourite neighbourhood restaurant, dong's and could not sleep till 3am that night!

according to a reliable source (M), apparently if the quality of the tea was good, it should not cause any insomnia :o pple who know me well will know that i dont take coffee well. my hand trembles and will get heart palpitations... even the cans of diet coke in my fridge is caffeine free lol :D

not only that, i have also recently discovered that i'm lactose intolerent! its ok here in syd where its easy enough to get soya milk with our usual coffees, teas and chai lattes ;p but overseas it would be quite different.

however the recent trip to hk have proven otherwise... strangely enough consuming the genuine *hk milk tea (obvsiously not made with soy milk), i somehow did not suffer from (a) any side effects of lactose intol or (b) insomnia... hehe and amazingly, there's a corner take away shop (undergrd next to maccas) at the kowloon city-airport station that serves ice milk tea immersed in a bowl of ice! (see abv) apparently as the ice melts, it then does not dilute the tea.. how thoughtful..
