    When I first went there with my darling, it was hardly packed, there were only a few people seating here and there. So my darling decided to bring me in there cause I've never eating there before in my entire life. Hahah.

    I can say, when we came in, we were immediately noticed and they gave us a nice cushioned seat then gave us the menu and smiling at us. I don't know Chinese so I let my darling order for me but they noticed that I didn't speak Chinese that they accommodate to me as well, speaking in English while reading out our orders.

    We ordered the tang yuan in almond sauce, the milk tea, and thick peanut butter toast.

    It was wonderful. The auntie who came to serve us our teas was very cute, she said that it was hot, but the tea was cold. Then she joked with us. Very friendly staff.

    Even though we ordered very little, the food was very filling, both of us couldn't finish the thick toast and left a quarter of it on the plate, I was tempted to finish it up, but my stomach protested that it couldn't hold anymore.

    I give this branch a thumbs up. I'd come here again when I have the chance.

      I have been here quite afew times, its always packed to the brim and the service is always alil rushed but good enough.

      The waiting does take longer thn most HK cafes but its pretty worth it.

      Must tries will have to be
      1) Har Guo
      (it is better thn most vesions ive tasted at restaurants! the skin is just nice and the prawns are always a good size & really juicy)

      2) Papaya soup noodles
      (dont let the unusual pairing put you off cos it is SHIOK! The soup is sweet & the noodles are thin)

      3) Congee
      (very good comfort food)

      4) Hk style western dishes.
      (The pork chops are always quite tender and full of flavour)

      5) Milk tea

      6) Snow ice desserts

      Must not try
      1) Fried Rice

        The food they serve really cannot make it. A bowl of instant noodle cost $6 , So overpriced ! Ask for a glass of ice water also need to pay.

        Take damn long to serve the food eventhough not much customers.

          Ate there twice.

          For the first time which was like almost a year ago, i couldnt rmb what i ordered. but somehow remember that it was delicious.

          walked past that place at 3pm on a tue with 4 other friends. decided to settle there for a late lunch since ive had a nice exp the previous time round.

          this time, it was less crowded probably bcos its 3pm and a weird timing to dine. there was this guy who took our orders, wasnt satisfied with him. we read the names of our food but he requested for the numbers instead. so we read out the 3 digits number like 319 for eg. then he repeated our orders with our numbers. five 3-digit numbers shot out and we were stunned, who could rmb and even hear what he was saying at such speed. after stoning there for about 2s, he said " actually i was just reading for fun" yea right, so funny.

          the food arrived quite fast though in about 10mins, mine came first. and waited for my friends' food to come. waited for like 5mins or so and started eating. realise that my food has turned really cold. the spaghetti was cold and dry and tasted quite bland. the fish has some fishy smell. huge chunky pieces of fish but they werent nice. left 2 huge chunks of them untouched. my friends' congee obviously is better. i probably ordered the wrong choice.

          probably wouldnt go there anymore. dont mind trying other branches to see if it really doesnt taste that good.

            Went there for lunch with my friend since we both have not eaten there before. I ordered Fried Rice with chicken and salted fish, which I had regretted ordering. I was contemplating to choose between the Black pepper beef rice and that, which was a disappointment in the end. The fried rice with chicken and salted fish was so salty! Yes i know salted fish were supposed to be salty, but who could take that much of saltiness?! It was so intolerable(salty) i had to keep taking sips of water. My friend ordered Curry Chicken with rice, which turned out to be quite delicious, minus the spiciness. It was good without the spiciness since both of us can't really take spiciness. But the chicken in the curry wasn't that nice. We also ordered Har Gau, which was of course delicious. The ambience was nice too, playing chinese pop music. If you're a fan of chinese music i guess you should love staying there for hours. Aha. And that quite sums up our lunch, which I wasn't very satisfied with (the salty fried rice, yucks!). But at least I've learnt a lesson: Never eat Fried rice with chicken and salted fish ever again!

              Went for a small break there while waiting for our movie to start. Wasn't quite hungry so I only ordered the "Ying Yong" (coffee tea) but its too milky for my likes. I prefer my Ying Yong to have stronger taste of tea. The lychee tea tasted great though. With a generous helping of lychee in it. Thick taste of tea.

              We also ordered the mango ice. Which was really enormous. Disappointed though as the mango ice here wasn't that great. The ice shavings although great in portion, was not fine enough or pack tight enough. Though we do like the generous helping of mango pieces and jelly.

              My friend ordered the "Bo Luo Bao" which she claimed to be very nice. I took a bite and felt it tasted so so. Perhaps I should have eaten it with the butter that came with it. However I do like the way the bun was treated. Real crispy.

              Should go and try out other items in the extensive menu next time.

                Been to this place several times... But no recollection on how the food was... Just remember that this place is forever packed...

                Normally I will just order drinks...

                The best thing abt this place is it's ultra long operating hours. Hence most of the time after dinner and shopping, when there is no place to go esp after 10pm, I will definately head to this place for a drink and a chit chat session with my friends.

                I would say the price of the food here is cheap as compared to other resturant that are open at this late hour.

                Please note that usually the place is very packed and very noisy...
