I have Yelp to thank for being able to find this hiddne gem. New Fortune Stone is a great little HK style cafe that I will certainly be coming back to.
Pros:
Expansive menu
Great Staff
Food is above average for HK style cafe standards
Cons:
Place is on the tiny side
New Fortune Stone is tucked away in the same plaza as the T and T supermarket that you will never find if you don't know about it. Like I said, if I wasn't browsing around on Yelp, I would of never found this place. When you walk in, the place has a old school diner feel to it. The decor is very well done and it feels very homely to me. I can tell from the conversations customers have with staff that they have many regulars who frequent the place. The place is fairly small so it will be busy during peak hours.
Opening up the menu, I see that they offer a lot of items here. Everything you usually find at HK style cafes you will find here and them some. There are many daily specials to be had here as well. The prices here are very decent and most items include a soup and a drink. They actually has so many items that I had a hard time deciding what to order.
I ordered the baked chicken in cream sauce and my GF ordered the fish in spinach and mushroom sauce of rice. The soup comes out immediately after you order and the food not long after. My baked rice was very well done. The portions were good and there mushrooms included which I love. My GF's rice was a little on the salty side but good nonetheless. If I was eating it I would of liked more rice but for her it was perfect.
What really stands out about this place is the staff. This is a place where everyone does know your name. The staff are super friendly here. Overhearing the conversations the staff have with the regulars really lets you know they love coming here. It's like one big family here if you ask me. It's a great atmosphere to have a meal at. Out little one had a little spill at the end of our meal and they cleaned it up without so much a smirk. I can't wait to be a regular here!
If you love HK style cafes, you need to give this place a try. Above average food, great prices and awesome staff. You can't go wrong here.
