In Malaysia, we may called it either "Yin Yong" or Cham, which is Cantonese for mix. I think this novel idea of mixing the two beverages together originated from HK. If they don't sell Yin Yong, just order a local black coffee and a tea with milk. Take one sip of each into your mouth without swallowing and mix them up in your mouth, you would then have your own Yin Yong. hahaa

Amy, in Mandarin, it’s call “yuan yang” (both 1st tone) 鴛鴦; it is very common; of course, they would in no way use expensive tea or coffee for this purpose. I am used to being served the hot combo beverage and the condensed milk separately, so one can adjust the taste to their liking.

[@femmeofsubstance]

Damian Rhea Yes. I have this yuan-yang coffee-tea 鴛鴦（奶）茶 only in the ubiquitous Hong Kong-style “tea restaurant 茶餐廳”. In the tea restaurant I go to, they use “yuan yang” as an euphemism for traditional dishes that incorporate 2 similar ingredients for an added complexity to flavour, texture, etc.; i.e.: a traditional dish that is called straightforwardly “stir fried rice vermicelli with shredded chicken meat and anchovy 鹹魚雞粒炒米粉 ”, when added styrofoam noodle 綠豆澱粉絲 in lieu of half the starch, which is ordinarily all rice vermicelli, is “yuan yang stir fried starch noodle with shredded chicken meat and anchovy 鴛鴦鹹魚雞粒炒粉” - it is DELICIOUS !

Yuan Yang in Mandarin but Yin Yeong in Cantonese.. it's got nothing to do with yin and yang which means darkness and light. Yin Yeong means mismatch. Just like the Mandarin ducks where the male is colorful and the female duck's color is dull. Wearing "yin yeong" socks means you have put on 2 different socks.

[@GeoT91]

The taste can vary a bit between cafes, this is due to differences in Hong Kong milk tea used. Every cafe has their own blend/recipe to make milk tea and of course the coffee used can vary. I don't think yuan yang should be super sweet, especially the hot one; you can often add your own sugar to sweeten it. Yuan yang is my favorite drink because it has smoothness and sweetness of milk tea with bold flavor and caffeine from coffee. I'm not a Hong Kong local but I really liked Lan Fong Yuen when I visited and I think it's supposed to be famous. I think it's worthwhile to try the cafe's milk tea alone too, if their milk tea (though probably not a problem in HK) isn't very good then they can't make a good yuan yang. Milk tea and yuan yang goes well with HK baked treats like pineapple buns and egg tarts.
