Another weekend, another HK style cafe to try. Golden Flower is a good choice if you want something pretty cheap and fast.
Pros:
Food comes out fast
Friendly service
Cons:
Portions are smaller than others
We came on a Sunday morning. I was always told this place is very busy on weekend mornings. The place wasn't too buys when I came and was about the same when I left. I notice outside that the supermarket in the plaza has closed down. Perhaps business took a hit with the supermarket not being there anymore. It does make it easier to get a seat though.
We ordered the French Toast and noodle. Both were off the breakfast special menu. We also ordered a toast for my little one. The lady was nice to charge us a little less for the toast because we didn't need a drink for that. The specials all come with a drink included in the price so that was something nice for them to do.
The food came out lightning quick. We were eating within 5 minutes of ordering. You get what you pay for here. The prices here are pretty good, but the portions are smaller than what other places give you. The french toast was made with thin sliced bread, not the thicker brick-like toast I'm more accustomed to at other HK style cafes. When my noodle came out, I remember it was beef brisket, fish ball and another type of ball. I couldn't discern what it was though. It was like mystery meat. Overall, the food is good for the price, it's nothing to write home about though.
Golden Flower is a nice little place to go to. They offer a solid menu and pretty good prices. The service is great and there's no reason why I wouldn't go back if I'm looking for something cheap.
