We had made a good choice to have dine in this local spot during our quick HK trip. Reached before noon for lunch on a weekday, so it was easy to get a shared seat before the rest of the working crowd came in. No wait time required but prepared to squeeze into a tiny table with strangers.
They have simple menu with pictures (just a few of their best sellers) and much more variety in the chinese menus. We're not able to read chinese (we're tourist after all
) but no hassle with pointing on the pictures and getting food. The only problem was the bundle, or I should say 'set' that comes with the main seems a little complicated (note: for lunch they would pair specific drink with main and the price is cheaper that way than ordering separately). I pointed what I want and kinda irritated the waiter because I didn't choose something within the set. I'm cool with the down service since it was expected level for the 'dai pai dong' environment.
We admired the old style HK restaurant during our quick wait and singer Alan Tam's picture all over the wall. Food came and it was instant noodle. Very yummy and addictive with fried marinated soy chicken and vegetables, stirred with sesame oil. Noodle is good and bouncy but chicken was okay - homemade taste and not hot.
Then the drinks was on the spot. Excellent milk tea as raved by reviewers. Just the right temperature, texture and sweetness. And then the toast - fried to perfection, served hot. The best toast I've ever has thus far
*still drooling*
We're seated, lunched and gone within 15 minutes - satisfied. The 'cafe' was easy access from Central and worth a go if you're in that area.
french toast - Excellent!
