Another weekend, another HK style cafe. Hong Far is located in the same complex as Dickens which I reviewed earlier. It offers a cheaper experience if you're not looking to shell out.
Pros:
Prices are very good
Veggies!!
Cons:
Nothing spectacular (you come here for value)
When you look a the menu for this place, you'll notice there are many specials to choose from. You have breakfast, lunch and all day specials. Also to note, the menu has the Chinese items listed first, then on the very next page the translated item in English. If I didn't speak or read Chinese, I would find this more convenient. When we first sat down, we were automatically given a smaller set of bowls and cutlery for our little one. Always a nice touch to not have to ask for this ourselves.
My GF ordered a pork chop in udon noodle soup while I got the Hai Nan chicken rice. When the food comes out you immediately notice something. You get a lot of veggies with your meals here. Most HK style cafes give you one or two stalks of veggies. This place gives you a full serving basically. My rice was also not just a plain white rice, it was fried with some egg in it too. These little things definitely go a long way.
Having said all that, you are coming here if you want value for your dollar. Our bill came to $15 for 2. Amazing! This is not the place you would choose though if you're really craving something special. The food here is good, but not take a date out trying to impress him/her good. It's the place to go if you want to get full for as as little as possible.
