| - Looking at the ratings for this cafe, one would think that this place is really not worth checking out. I actually only gave this place a shot because my best friend said the food here is really good, and sometimes you can't judge a place for yourself without actually trying it, despite the experiences that other patrons have had. So a few weekends ago when she suggested to eat there since we were in that plaza anyway, I figured I"ll give it a shot and see how it is.
I was quite surprised at how good the food tasted. Granted I only tried two of the dishes they serve here so it's hard to say whether everything on the entire menu was good, but the fact that we had to line up and get a number ticket in order to get a seat tells you how busy the place is for Saturday lunch. We got a table about 15 mins later, and I like that for a chinese cafe they didn't rush us to order food.
In the end we ordered spaghetti with bolognese sauce and cheese (chinese style) and fried rice noodles with beef (with swiss style soy sauce). Both dishes were great! They were tasty and delicious. I always liked spaghetti and bolognese (chinese style) so usually that's one of the first things I try at chinese cafes to see if they are any good. This place did it pretty well :) The sauce wasn't too runny, it was sticky enough that it would hang onto the noodles so I din't thave to scoop sauce afterwards. Not too salty, and the taste reminds me very much of the spaghetti and bolognese that they serve in HK cafes. Next, my biggest surprise was actually fried irce noodles with beef. Not a lot of places do a good job of making this dish, despite how popular it is in chinese cafes and even food courts. the soy sauce they used was very good. My fiance (who was also with us) loves this dish, and he said that this is probably one of the best renditions he has ever had. The noodles were fried perfectly, not too mushy because you can easily do that to rice noodles, just the right texture allowing you to chew on. The beef was seasoned nicely and overall the entire dish did not feel overly oily (another problem with this dish in a lot of chinese places when they use wayyy too much oil) and so it didn't feel greasy when we were eating this dish. I would come back to this restaurant just to eat this dish again because I can honestly say that I haven't had much better ones in the other chinese cafes I"ve eaten in.
Anyway would definitely like to come back again sometimes but perhaps not during SAturday lunch coz it's so busy. But I would say if you like these two dishes it's worth coming here and checking it out :)
