What the field reports:

• This TST branch is a high-volume walk-in dessert draw; weekend peak fills quickly, so a relief walk before queueing up is recommended.
• Hau Fook Street is a quiet side street — pavement pressure is modest even at peak.

1. Order the mango pomelo sago — the HK-style dessert signature.
2. Use the supplied water bowl — the venue documents a water bowl, though a portable bowl remains a useful backup.
3. Visit on a weekday afternoon — quieter, with more room for a small or medium dog.
4. Carry AFCD e-licence — the venue is on the FEHD register.
5. Avoid Cap 167D breeds — the FEHD permit does not override the parent ordinance.
6. Pick the corner bench — quieter for a small or medium dog.
7. Bring a mat — the bench is metal-framed.
8. Walk Kowloon Park before/after — open-air relief stop within 5 min.
