Monday, 11 April, 2011, 12:00am  We should promote the skill of
making milk tea which is not easy. If you want the cuppa to be
tasty, you should pay attention to the ratio of milk and tea.
Because of the influence of foreign culture, people like to eat
fast food such as hamburgers and French fries these days. Also,
Hongkongers lead a hectic lifestyle. This means they don't have
time to sit down in a restaurant or at a sidewalk cafe to have a
cup of milk tea. Even if they do, they will quickly drink it
without paying any attention to the taste so they can get on
with their work.  With many young people not interested in
making milk tea, this 'art' could disappear within a few years.
Hence, this is a good time to promote the skills of making milk
tea by organising talks and competitions.  If we don't, one of
Hong Kong's most enduring traditions could be lost forever.
