Egg Custard King = Natalie’s Bakery?

Egg Custard King was kinda like the egg custard version of CICF. They used to have different flavored egg custards, ranging from strawberry to taro. With all the variety, I am still a fan of the original egg custard (don-tot).


So I get a comment on my post the other day that they renamed it Natalie’s Bakery? I’m thinking WTF?!!? So, I go and call them and ask if this is Egg Custard King and they reply “yes”. I’m not convinced. I go in for further investigating and walk to the location.

Hong Kong Station

On cold winter days, I like Hong Kong Station. With a choice of noodles, you can choose toppings that vary from fish dumplings to tripe. This eatery charges per item. My eyes are usually bigger than my belly. I usually wind up picking a lot!

My favorites are the wide rice noodles (hou fun) with fried eggs, bok choi, chicken wings, and dumplings. ( I add a lot!)
