| - We were visiting friends in the area, then the daily question popped up: what's good to eat around here? Our local friends mentioned that there was a HK café in Aurora, and I was rather... shocked. Because: Aurora. So in sticking with our native food, we decided to give this place a try.
New & clean, we all found something on the menu to our liking. The dinner menu included a variety of HK dishes including baked, pan fried & sizzling plates. All dishes come with a soup & HK drink to create a set meal.
On this night, there was one lonely guy working the front, and probably another guy working the back. Slowly but steadily, he managed a house of more than a dozen people, all while maintaining apologies and smiles, so being an understanding customer, I was quite impressed.
Overall, the food was made very well. No one at my table had any complaints. I ordered an ox tongue tomato sauce rice, which I was very nervous about because not many places can make the ox tongue soft and tender. For that reason, I haven't ordered any ox tongue dish in a while, but I thought I would this day, and it came out exactly the way I liked it. Special mention to all the sizzling plates that kept coming out too; the entire table of 8 next to us all ordered them and they looked and smelled amazing. Portions are fair. Again, I was impressed.
The HK milk tea (iced) was maybe one notch sweeter than I liked, so I might ask for less sweet next time, but the flavour's good - its tea-milk ratio is balanced, creating a "full" (creamy, not watered down) flavour.
It's a very HK decent establishment in Aurora, I hope they're here to stay until Aurora becomes a fully populated town or city. If I'm ever in Aurora again, I would return :)
