| - We were in the mood for some HK style milk tea and cafe style food, a quick yelp later and discovered this place right around us. This little cafe is located in the same plaza as a congee wong, so most of the time when we were in this plaza it was for congee wong and absolutely never noticed this place. We figured today was as good a day as any to try this place out.
Upon first entering, the place was small but looked to be recently renovated. We were advised to grab a seat anywhere, which we did and perused the menu.
My other half ordered the chefs daily special (three cups chicken), while I went for a different daily special (currry chicken steak).
Both meals came with a clear broth soup. And I do mean clear, as in there was absolutely nothing in the bowl, not even a shred of meat or veggie.
My other half meal came out with a huge plate of rice, and a disproportionately small bowl of the "main course"'.
Mine came out on a same sized plate with same amount of rice with the curry chicken steak on top.
We also both got our hot milk tea, which was quite decent and thick. It hit the spot, but beyond this there really wasn't anything endearing about this cafe.
The food was decent, not bad not great. The service was lackluster, but not so bad to the point of annoyance. The servers tended to chat up what I assume to be "regulars" while we were largey ignored. It took us 4 times to flag someone down for the check. And it wasn't until we were nearly done our meal did our milk tea come out. Very minor, but as I said not so bad that we were annoyed, but a far cry from good.
Prices were quite decent, total came out to 22 for the meal.
Would I come back or recommend? This place would definitely not spring to mind. If someone said let's go here, I may err towards congee wong instead.
Overall a very forgettable experience.
