| - This is a no-frills typical HK style cafe right at Dundas/Spadina (easy to miss because it's on the 2nd floor). Prices are cheap and portions are generous. They often have combos that include tea and soup. Expect to find the usual dishes like Malaysian curries, baked spaghetti, ham and macaroni soup, "Russian" borscht, milk tea, lemon coke, etc. If you've never had this style of food before, it may seem odd -- it's basically "fusion" before it was a thing - think Chinese takes on Western dishes. Nothing fancy, but oddly comforting. Service is swift and there are TV's playing Cantonese news channels. There are not a lot of HK style cafes downtown, so I'm glad to see this place is still around (the newer Red Onion on Spadina is similar, in a nicer dining room, but food here is slightly better IMO).
