Silver Cafe is a really interesting cafe located in Mong Kok. It changes it's retro themes on a regular basis so every time I walk by, it's a totally different. But inside there is always still this drawing of a cat. I've never eaten here so boyfriend and I decided to go in for dinner.When we were there, the current theme was the walkman. All sorts of walkmans from the past along with tapes could be found on the walled display cases.The tables also had displays of old walkmans.Menu is in Chinese
When we were there, the current theme was the walkman. All sorts of walkmans from the past along with tapes could be found on the walled display cases.
The tables also had displays of old walkmans.
Menu is in Chinese only. There is no English. They serve a variety of classic Hong Kong style dishes. They have dinner sets that include a Chinese main, rice and hot drink. Cold drinks are not a few extra dollars but at half price.
As cold drinks were at half price, I decided to get a Shiso Lemon Tea. Quite a large glass, it was pretty good. The shiso gave a fresh taste to the lemon tea much like adding mint. It was the right amount of sweetness as well.
One of the mains we chose was Stir Fried Sweet Beef with Capsicons and Pineapple ($78). Portion wasn't too big but it was enough. It tasted quite good. The beef was tender. The pineapple was not of the canned variety but fresh. The capsicoms were a bit undercooked so it wasn't as sweet as they could be but I guess they wanted them to maintain the crunchy texture.
The other maine was Taiwanese Three Cup Chicken ($98). Served in a piping hot pot, the chicken was delicious. Tender and juicy. There were also capsicums here and these were cooked so well, they were very sweet.
Deep Fried Salt and Pepper Tofu ($20) was the appetizer we added. The tofu had a crispy coating and it was soft on the inside. It wasn't seasoned with much salt and pepper. I didn't mind too much but if you love it heavily seasoned, you might be disappointed.
Food was delicious though portions were a bit small. The cafe is fun to look at all the retro items as well. Not sure if we'd be back though.
