華星冰室 Capital Café

I never ever attempted to visit the store during lunch hours in the weekdays. Well. I actually did try once and ended up waiting for 15 minutes for nothing since we had got quite a number of us waiting. So I ended up visiting the store today. The cha chaan teng was still packed today but not as packed as the weekdays. The decor was quite retro with checked wall and floor tiles and white framed photos of artists hooked on wall.

There were quite a few selections of set on the menu, and I chose the one with barbecue pork spaghetti. The menu stated the company's slogan/ mission, 'Prepare the best eggs and milk teas meticulously with heart.'

1) The scramble eggs with ham & Toast
Two slices of ham were prepared on the mouth-watery scramble eggs. The eggs were made just right as in not over hard but juicy. The eggs were smooth and had the taste of eggs with it. The scramble eggs were claimed to fry with Hokkaido 3.6 milk, no wonder it was smooth and delicious. Very nice scramble eggs indeed. The toast on the other hand, was rather thick. It was slightly butter, but not enough for butter monster like me, so I requested for more. Nice toast too!

2) Barbecue Pork Spaghetti
The barbecue pork was hidden under the spaghetti when served. The spaghetti was made al dente. The taste was slightly dull though.

3) Milk tea
I accidentally dropped some eggs into my cup of milk tea minutes after it was served on our table. My boyfriend and I exchanged this look since it was pretty nasty to drink the tea then. Just at this minute, the staff went over and said, 'Do you mind I made another one for you?' I was so impressed! I could totally feel they really do care about their food quality and customers but not just running a restaurant to make profit. The milk tea was smooth, thick and tasted really nice. Thanks for the meticulously prepared milk tea.

meticulously prepared. Impressed.

4) The club sandwich
My boyfriend was not really into typical cha chaan teng light sets, so he ordered the club sandwich. One funny thing was he was expecting club sandwich american style in a hong kong cha chaan teng! Anyway both of us honestly did not expect they were prepared that nicely. The sandwiches were stacked nicely with beautiful colours. It had a taste combination of sweet and sour layers. A sour layer with smooth scramble eggs and minced beef and a layer with fresh tomato, lettuce, cheese, ham and mayo that made up the sweet taste. The bread was toasted nicely, crispy at both side with a deep golden brown colour which holding the ingredients firmly at place.

Capital Cafe is the role model for the Cha Chaan Teng industry. You could rarely find a local cha chaan teng that prepares its food that meticulously, fulfilling its own mission to the max and serves its customer with real attitude. I do appreciate every work Capital Cafe does. About the food there, the club sandwich was so good that I have to say their club sandwich should be their best selling product instead.
