This is one of the famous cha can tan place that I thought I have to visit since I haven't been to hk for quite a few years. The waiting queue was quite long when we got there, but only waited for around 15 mins which I thought it's not too bad.
Same as many hk cha chan tan places, this place is always quite crowded and need to share the table with someone else. I was there for the breakfast, so me and my friend have ordered 1 set of breakfast meal (ham with noodle, famous stir fired egg with toast and hot milk tea), additional milk tea and the signature egg white bake with milk. The food was absolutly awsome!!! very yummy and nice as always, I did not feel disappointed even i haven't been there for so long.
However, the service of the waiters are so bad!!!!! horrible is not enough to describe one of the waiters' service. We supposed to have 2 hot milk tea, 1 came from the breakfast meal set and another additional one that I have ordered. The additional milk tea came first and since all other food have arrived so I have asked the waiter to see where is the other one. Since i haven't been there for so long, I forgot that the additional one and standard one came with the meal were using a different type of cup. The waiter was so rude that said your additional has already came, what are you after? Firstly I was quite polite that letting him know that there should be two as there should be 1 included with the meal. And he had been keeping tell me your additional one has already arrived, what are you after? and also said, "is that you don't understand me or I don't understand u?| (btw all the conversation were in Cantonese.) End up I was quite angry and said "What kinda service are you providing here? Is that the kind of service that you should offer to your customers?" So he finally said he will chase up the drink for me. After 2-3 mins, a standard hot milk tea came but the waiter has given it to the 2 girls who were sharing table with us as I knew they ordered the breakfast meal too, so I didn't doubt that was us not theirs. Waited for another 5 mins, the drink still didn't came and we were almost finishing our meals, so i end up have to ask the waiter again (the same rude one that I have spoken to). He said "I have already chased up the standard drink for you and it's you that given to the ones opposite to you." And I was like "they ordered the rbeakfast meal which include a drink too and another waiter has given it to them instead of me, how would I know that's the one that you chased up for me?" the waiter was like "That's your problem, not mine. It's okay I chase up for you again but make sure you don't give it to someone else again". I was so pissed off when I heard that!!!!
Even though the food was great there but I believe I will never go back to eat in, even I really wanna sth from there or any frds wanna go there, take-away will be the only option I will consider. The service is seriously poor!!!!
Notorious for its poor customer service but good dairy products, we decided to give it a try to see how bad it could possibly get. Upon arrival, we were told to wait, albeit in an acrid and coarse tone, outside the eatery due to the cramped entrance.

Notorious for its poor customer service but good dairy products, we decided to give it a try to see how bad it could possibly get. Upon arrival, we were told to wait, albeit in an acrid and coarse tone, outside the eatery due to the cramped entrance. When a table was finally available after some 15 minutes, we were waved to our seats, packed like sardines beside the service aisle.
The toast had a slightly crisp surface and soft inside which met expectations. The scrambled eggs sandwiched between the toast was velvety smooth, creamy and rich. The texture of the eggs was staunch and the slight firmness was enhanced with a well-seasoned flavour which made it the highlight of the day. The sliced ham was just like any other but the slight saltiness helped complement the richness of the eggs and the overall savouriness of the dish.
The fragrance of the toast upon being served would certainly titillate the senses of any diners. The surface of the toast was deep fried to a golden brown crisp yet the inside remained soft and moist. The sliced butter atop was melting as the picture was being taken and when drizzled with the maple syrup provided on each table, it was divinely sinful yet delicious. Tasted on its own, the french toast lacked flavour from the egg-coated batter but coupled with the condiments, it was certainly some comfort food for the stomach. For the calories-conscious, do not expect this to go easy on the waistline!
The light flavours of the egg whites were enhanced by the richness of the milk. Despite the smoothness of the pudding, we felt that it was too sweet for our liking after repeated scoops. It was pleasing to the tastebuds upon the first try but the richness was a tad too creamy and saccharine to the effect that it satiated our appetite after a while. It might appeal to those with a slightly more tolerant sweet tooth or a preference for rich creamy desserts.
Like the steamed egg whites and milk pudding, this version was equally smooth and rich. With the addition of the egg yolks, this tasted slightly denser than the former. It was also slightly firmer and was pleasing to the palate. The downside was again the sweetness, which could be taken a few notches down but again this was owed to personal preferences.
As we were seated beside the service aisle where waiters were scurrying in and out of the kitchen to bring orders to the diners, they stopped at nothing to make sure a din was created. Whenever they cleared emptied plates and bowls, it seemed like there was a special effort to drop them at height into the collecting buckets. It was a noisy and chaotic fare to say the least. Suppers are meant to be comforting but it seemed that you could not afford to take a break here, starting from the impatient waiters pressurizing to take one's orders. You seriously cannot expect all diners to already know what is on the menu, can you?
Despite the good food served, this eatery is but another one of those classic HK 'Cha Chng Tngs' with little patience and embodiment of the ethos that 'Customers are always right'.
