| - Great place for lunch/half tea in the neighborhood.
The name is kind of misleading; it sounded like another Matsuda (the ayce) but is actually an HK style cafe. They do offer several Korean-fusion dishes though. I have yet to try those.
The restaurant is tucked in the corner of the plaza, right where the Garden Basket grocery store is; lots of parking is available. Once you go inside the restaurant, the servers may not greet you right away because their high counter is packed with stuff so they can't really see you. You'll have to manoeuvre your way a little around the counter for them to see you (unless they're already running around so in which case they'll see you come in). You'll see what I mean when you go there. They are really nice and courteous, though. Service is efficient, which is always great, and it is quite spacious there so coming with a small group is ok.
I usually come here for their half tea. There's plenty of options available. You get the basics like noodles and deep fried stuff, including a few new others. My fave here is their (gigantic) deep fried drum stick, and their pork chop bun. The size of the drum stick is probably bigger than the size of your face (assuming your face is normal size). It's so nice and crispy on the outside, while the inside is juicy and tender. The fries that it comes with is also delicious; it's similar to the ones you get at Costco, not the cheap powdery ones. Same is with their pork chop bun. Very juicy and tender, and the bun that it comes on is crispy and soft. Very satisfying. If you're one to watch TV while eating, they have 4 or 5 huge tv's there!
Do pay this place a visit if you're ever in the area, or just looking for a bite (or two)!
