| - Ordered take-out from here before, so decided to drop by with a friend around 9 pm on a Tues night after going to the gym together.
The $8.99 Sizzling Plate Special menu instantly caught my eye. Pretty rare finding sizzling plate items under $10.
You choose: 2 meat items (Add $2.99 for each additional item), a side, a sauce & a drink
My order: Steak & Italian Sausage, upgraded to Fries ($1 extra), Gravy & Hot Milk Tea
My friend's order: Deep Fried Chicken & Italian Sausage, Spaghetti, Black Pepper Sauce & Hot Milk Tea
Portions weren't too big, but just enough for me. Steak & Sausage were pretty standard. The Fries were the extra crispy kind I like (they are the same as Costco fries my friend informed me). I tried a bit of my friend's chicken and it was really dry. Actually a lot of the other meat item choices are deep fried before they place it on the sizzling plate. This i didn't like. I expected this to cause the meats to be really dry so I was limited in my selection. The black pepper sauce was a bit too salty. My friend realized that after mixing her spaghetti with it and couldn't finish it. I ended up mixing some of my gravy into her spaghetti to mellow out the flavour and finished it for her.
All in all, if you make the right choices, the sizzling plate specials makes a decently priced okay meal. I'll probably be back to try other stuff.
Bonus: free wifi, pw is posted near the counter (not many hk-style cafe i know of that offers free wifi)
