| - We eat at New City or Blue Ocean almost every weekend as long as we arrive at the restaurant before 10:30am due to difficulty finding parking spots after this time. Sundays are heavier traffic in the plaza where New City is located and it might be because Churchgoers are coming in pre- or post- service.
For an HK style restaurant, this place has cheap yet filling and tasty breakfast options, and their evening menu of baked rice dinners are consistently flavourful.
The breakfast options we've tried and find nothing amiss are eggs and bacon, satay beef spaghetti and sandwich, French toast, congee & sweet cruller, and beef brisket noodles. Their HK tea cups could be slightly bigger (maybe half an inch taller?), but otherwise, no complaints.
Like most small HK style restaurants, it would be easier and faster to get a table for two or else you'll have to wait about 10 minutes. And their service is always polite, quick, considerate (they ask if we want an English menu or if they may clear our table of empty dishes) and is never rude. We are the type of diners that don't make idle chitchat with the waitstaff, yet they still recognize us when we come in as if we have a routine now (they swap in English menus, they suggest the same booth if possible). Since the meals we eat here are often billed around 11-12 dollars, we usually tip $1.75-$2.00.
