“ At first I thought most of the cha-chan-teng in HK we need to order our food super quick, if not the waitress will get impatient easily. However, the waitress told us to look through the menu and called her when we are ready Their set meals are cheap and really fulfilling. And of course delicious as well ”
“ Visited here for lunch. Waited about 15 mins. The food here are all good. The portion size is more than enough for one person. Price is also reasonable. Dont forget to order the famous milk tea. ”
“ A nice cafe where you can get many Hong Kong cha chaan teng favorites. The ‘bolo yau’ (‘pineapple’ bun with butter) is a popular item here. Come earlier if you want to get it as they sold out by early evening. The bread is soft and fluffy, the butter is served separately and when you put it into the warm bun, it melts nicely into it. The instant noodle with egg and luncheon meat is also a local dish that’s simple and yet flavorful. The sweet and sour pork is good - batter on the pork isn’t too thick, the sauce is coated well on it and very nice flavor. IT’s recommended to try these 2 dishes. Love their iced lemon tea too and you can choose how much sugar you like them to add. Overall this is a great place for authentic Hong Kong cafe experience and taste. ”
“ The main part is tea and the food. Breakfast is good. Toast is bad. Tea is great. Pineapple bun is excellent. Sometimes you need to sit with other people that didn't shower for days. ”
“ we came here for the polo Bun! Recommended by one of our local friends. Hands down, one of the best!!! Very crispy crush & duper fluffy inside ”
