Yuen yeung is a must have item in the drink menu in all local tea cafes. My father likes it with condensed sweet milk. He said for the workers, this kind of drinks is a most vital refreshment for the day. I think it gives a lot of calories for the needed energy and enough caffeine to keep the mind awake in the morning or when it is almost the end of the work day (afternoon tea!). It is still a favourite for many many people, esp men who do labour work, drivers, builders and courier people etc, even those property salespeople too. Even some of my colleagues order it for afternoon tea too.
It is very strong and dense. I can see why it is liked by so many men. I think it is a very unique HK drink even though I do not like it myself.
