【"Sirloin" isn't a steak, it's a milk tea?】

If you want to go to an old-school bing sutt for an authentic Hong Kong-style milk tea, it’s quite possible that you won't find it anywhere on the menu! In times like these, keep an ear out for regulars ordering a "Sai Leng" from the staff!

Shortly after, a cup of milk tea will arrive. Strange, right? In fact, it’s a tradition—"Sai Leng" refers to Ceylon black tea, which was also the original name for Hong Kong-style milk tea. Back in the day, imported Ceylon black tea packaging was only in English, and legend has it that a cha chaan teng owner or waiter simply blurted out, "Just call it Sai Leng!" And just like that, what we now call "Hong Kong-style milk tea" was known for a long time as "Ceylon black tea."

This interesting traditional name isn't just found in old-school bing sutts; you can also find it in Hong Kong-style milk tea products, such as👉Hiang Kie Coffee's "Hong Kong-style Ceylon Black Tea Drip Bags"!
