| - Cafe Hollywood offers Hong Kong Style Cafe food at reasonable prices in a cozy place but its' food fails to deliver. First off I'd like to say I'm not the biggest fan of this kind of food. It's not the most enticing of options but I came here with a friend that frequents this place for late breakfast on the weekend.
First thing off the bat, this place looks super nice, it's warm, inviting and it's cozy. Awesome! Now if you come here for lunch, automatically nearly half the menu is inaccessible right off the bat. Well, that's unfortunate. Some pages offered items only in the afternoon, to dinner, then from 10pm onwards. So I just ended up getting the popular $6.99 breakfast special - beef satay with vermicelli option. I mean you can't go wrong with a bowl of noodles, eggs, and bread for $6.99 right? The noodles were average but I'm pretty sure it was doused with MSG. I couldn't finish it, the more I ate, the more it tasted like instant noodle soup base :( On the bright side, the the beef was really good and there was a good amount of it. For the eggs, I asked for them sunny side up, they were anything but. As for the buns, they were great! I totally expected toast so these were a pleasant surprise. They were warm, soft, and sweet. I probably could have ate a dozen.
Service was good and attentive and we had no issues whatsoever. Overall, cafe Hollywood isn't terrible but its' weird menu lack cohesiveness and the food lacks execution. Given the option, I probably wouldn't come back which is a shame because I really liked the ambience here.
