Stepping into Hoko Cafe in the vibrant heart of Shoreditch felt like a delightful mini-escape to a bustling Hong Kong cha chaan teng! This charming spot brings the authentic flavors and cozy ambiance of a Hong Kong-style cafe right to East London. The moment you walk in, the aroma alone promises a delicious experience! 🥢🍜 My visit began with the quintessential Hong Kong Style Milk Tea (港式奶茶). And oh, was it authentic! Rich, robust, and perfectly creamy with that distinctive strong tea flavor. It's clear they brew it just right, striking that perfect balance that true HK milk tea lovers seek. Absolutely a highlight! 🥛❤️ Next up was the famous Hong Kong Style French Toast (西多士). This wasn't just any French toast; it was a golden, deep-fried delight, generously slathered with butter and drizzled with golden syrup. Each bite was a decadent blend of crispy exterior and soft, eggy interior – pure comfort food heaven! It’s wonderfully indulgent and a true classic done right. 🍞🧈 To balance the sweetness, I also ordered the Salt & Pepper Tofu (椒鹽豆腐). This dish was a revelation! The tofu cubes were perfectly crispy on the outside, incredibly soft and tender within, seasoned with a fantastic blend of salt, pepper, and aromatics. It was savory, addictive, and a perfect counterpoint to the rich French toast. A truly well-executed dish. 🌶️🌿 Hoko Cafe offers a fantastic blend of nostalgic flavors and a relaxed atmosphere. It's the ideal spot for a casual brunch, a quick tea break, or a satisfying meal that transports you across continents. Highly recommend for an authentic Hong Kong culinary adventure! 🌟😋 HOKO Hong Kong Cafe 📍224 Brick Ln, London E1 6SA #globalcookiecrumbs_foodie #globalcookiecrumbs_london #HokoCafe #ShoreditchEats #HongKongCafe #LondonFoodie #ChaaChaanTeng #HKMilkTea #FrenchToast #SaltPepperTofu #EastLondonFood #AuthenticHK #LondonCafe #FoodReview #MustTryLondon #CantoneseFood #ComfortFood #HiddenGemLondon #FoodAdventure #TeaTime #BrunchLondon #DeliciousLondon #TasteOfHongKong #LondonRestaurants #Foodstagram #MilkTeaLover #TofuLove #Shoreditch #LondonLife #EatLondon

#FallHo-kang-seu-event If you want to go to a hip tourist destination or street, I recommend Shoreditch, which is like an art space in itself👍 The murals are gorgeous, so it's great for taking commemorative photos, and it's also fun to walk around the alleys while looking at the paintings~ Colorful and hip Shoreditch~ ✅Shorditch #LondonTravel #PlacesToVisitInLondon #Shorditch

If you want to see the hip streets of London, I recommend Shoreditch! There are gorgeous murals painted on every alley, so there is no such thing as an ordinary street. It is a place that feels like a work of art, and it was a very hot place where Big Bang's G-Dragon filmed a music video in the past!! It is also popular among locals, so it is still a hot place in London👍 Stop by on a leisurely trip to London~ ✅Shoreditch #LondonTravelDestination #LondonTravel #Shoreditch #100TravelStyles

#SeptemberTravelSupportEvent It's also famous for taking crooked pictures of G-Dragon, right? I went to Shoreditch in Brick Lane when I went to London. It's also called Gravity, and there were so many people drawing art on the walls! When I walked by, they were spending time drawing on pictures. Even that was refreshing and amazing. No matter where you take pictures, they come out so hip and pretty, so you should definitely go!

everything clean and tidy £80 per night however, too narrow space and window cannot be opened

#Restaurant 🇬🇧 Dark Sugars I stopped by this place while I was in Shoreditch because they said it was famous for its hot chocolate! I actually thought the hot chocolate was the same everywhere, but the strong hot chocolate here was delicious👍 It wasn't greasy, and even though the chocolate on top melted, it wasn't too sweet, so I was satisfied! They sell chocolate, hot chocolate, coffee, and tea, and I had the basic hot chocolate-classic 🍫They put chocolate on top, and it reminded me of the dirty plating that Kwon Hyuk-soo did on SNL It was cleaner than I thought How to order: Put the chocolate in a plastic bag and go to the counter, and they'll weigh it and set the price 📍141 Brick Ln, Bethnal Green, London E1 6SB, United Kingdom 📍Every day from 10am to 8pm

#SoutheastAsiaFlightEvent 📍ATIKA London 55, 59 Hanbury St, London E1 5JP UK It's located in the London vintage shop Show Rich that became famous because GD and Song Min-ho went there. It would be good to go there when you visit Brain Market. It's a vintage shop I've been going to often, and it's very large and has a basement, so you can see various types of clothes! It's a hip vintage shop that I'd like to recommend to those who like clothes. #PlacesToVisitInLondon #LondonTravel

- Shoreditch There are many places in London where you can see graffiti, such as Shoreditch, Waterloo Station, and Mayfair. The ones in Shoreditch and Mayfair are a bit of a hassle to find, but the graffiti in Waterloo is a tunnel, so you can see it intensely in a short period of time!! Graffiti is an art form outside the system, so it was treated as an outlet for young people, but as Basquiat, Keith Haring, King Robbo, Banksy, etc. gained attention as world-class artists, it came into the system as art form:) #Hotel Accommodation Voucher Event

#HongKongFlightEvent When I traveled to London a while ago, my accommodation was near Shoreditch, so I went to a cafe with an atmosphere that I liked almost every day. I always drank espresso. Maybe because I came every day, but on the last day, I was surprised when the male owner or employee remembered my nickname when I ordered, and when I told him that today was my last day in London, he asked if I had a good trip to London... and while I was sitting and drinking a drink, he gave me a free cake. I was touched. The vintage atmosphere and friendly staff. If you have any business near Shoreditch, I highly recommend it. The atmosphere of Shoreditch on the weekend was also nice, but this cafe and the nearby Beans Loves Greens (where I had breakfast every day) are the places I remember the most in London. If I visit London again, I think I'll go there again~ #UKTravel #London #Shoreditch

When I traveled to England, I went there because my Oxford student friend recommended it to me. Can you see my expression? Full of joy😁 It's a total 'hot place'. Konkuk University, Hongdae in Korea!!! A place with more British students than tourists! It's also the filming location for G-Dragon's 'Crooked' music video. If you're in your 20s or 30s and are planning to go to London, I recommend you enjoy the nightlife here. Highly recommended. #EnglandTravel #LondonTravel #Shoreditch #HotPlace
