Located in Sha Tin Town Hall, la terrazza Caffe is only minutes away from the ever-bustling New…read moreTown Plaza, but its quiet atmosphere and generally quite affordable prices make it seem like a whole new world. To get there from New Town Plaza, simply exit at the first floor (where all the restaurants are), walk up the steps and go straight into the Town Hall. My mother and I were here for the first time for tea the other day. A cake set including a drink adds up to $45, and there's no service charge, so it is quite a bit cheaper than other cafés. The downside is that there were only three types of cakes - tiramisu, Neapolitan and apple tart, but the upside is that they brew Starbucks coffee! This makes their set a really good value because getting a drink at Starbucks would set you back at least $30 already. Although the variety of cakes is limited, you'll be pleased to know that they're of a pretty good size. Especially my mother's Neapolitan - it was about twice the size of regular artisanal cakes that you would get elsewhere. The Neapolitan is loose yet very crunchy, and not overly sweet. My tiramisu was not as big and unfortunately didn't have much of a coffee taste, but was soft and creamy nonetheless. We were there at around 5pm on a Friday and had no issues finding a seat. Besides cakes, they also serve waffles with (Haagen Dazs!) ice cream, hot dogs and salad. They do lunch sets too. One thing though is that there is faint Chinese opera music not from the cafe, but from the speakers around the Town Hall. It's not super loud but if you have really sensitive ears and are not one for high pitched Chinese opera tunes, this may bother you!

This place used to be the Sky Bar so when I went back to drinks I was a little surprised to find…read moreout that they do not serve drinks outside. Nonetheless, they allow you to get drinks inside and take them to the outdoor area. And they (surprisingly) did not complain about some in our group bringing drinks from outside. Went back again during the day and they have decently priced lunch sets. The food ranges from below average to above average depending on the dish you choose. One thing to note is the size of their items are pretty large. Not the serving but the ingredients. Environment was also pretty nice and service was pretty good.

I wasn't sure what to expect from the country side of Hong Kong, but the results were definitely…read moresatisfying. This is more of a western restaurant and the staff is so welcoming, you feel like you're visiting relatives. At one point, the waitress noticed my mom and I taking pictures of food, so she tried to help set up the food as aesthetically as they can after setting it down on the table, haha! They have a lot of appetizing things to choose from, but I got the pasta and mocha (and also tried a bite out of everyone's dishes lol) honestly everything tasted pretty good and you're definitely going to feel full right after!

Another burger place. Apparently the Chinese think all Americans eat are burgers or steaks. And…read moreall we think is that they eat Panda Express (I would kill for Panda Express after smelling what they really eat) The burgers are good, not fabulous. The food is on the smaller side, but so are the people so maybe they could teach us a lesson or two in portion control! The prices are, oh I dunno. It is hard to constantly divide by 6. I spent $265 or so.

Burgers and buffalo wings- this pretty much sums out what Homey Café is about. The first time I…read morecame here I was surprised that any one could actually find this place; its nestled away in a less well traversed corner of Yuen Long that had I not been a local I would not know that such a place exists. The restaurant is actually quite small so you can more or less expect there to be queues especially over the weekend. Inside the setting is a bar/ restaurant set up and the menu is quickly dispatched to you. There are lots of choices, as you would expect from a US styled restaurant, which are mainly BBQ this or baked that. This is just what I'm looking for in a meal: enough meat to fill me up, enough cheese to clog my veins and enough food to let people know I have no intention of doing the Olympics. When the food arrived though, I was surprised: the portions are relatively paltry and I would say that its focused more on quality rather than quantity. Despite being initially disappointed I am happy to report that the burger are very well made and despite being smaller they were a treat for my Saturday afternoon. Any drawbacks? I was seated over at the bar side high chairs and it was really uncomfortable - that nearly ruined the experience for me but the food saved the day.
