Since…read moreI didn't get my HK Style French Toast from Australia Dairy Company the other day, I was excited to try it here. Kam Wah Cafe is also famous for their freshly baked Pineapple Bun and Butter. Can't start your day without some HK Milk Tea and Iced Ovaltine. My son said it's a good thing the nai cha in the states are not as good because he was starting to develop an addiction. Lol. For those of you who don't know, it's made with Ceylon leaves, evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk. The French toast was so damn delicious but a bit indulgent. I do wish I could taste more of the peanuts. My son loved his bolo bao. We also shared a hot bowl of macaroni soup with Spam and lettuce. Thinking back, I regret not trying the Spicy Satay Beef Instant Noodle. I will have to look for this back in the states. The aunties working here are just the most adorable, very kind and welcoming. One of them took the time to help us navigate the huge menu and recommended a few items. I would come back again and again if I could. I have a mad love for these iconic HK Style Cafes aka Cha Chaan Tengs. These affordable quick-paced restaurants were influenced by the city's 150 years of British rule. Aside from the classic breakfast items, they also offer many delicious rice and noodle dishes in the afternoon.

We got here fairly early, so we didn't have to wait for a table. Service was as expected - quick, efficient, and no nonsense. A tell-tale sign of a good HK cafe. The food just hit the spot for me, bringing me right back to my childhood memories of eating this on weekend mornings at our local HK cafe.

Both were soooo good, hot or cold. I don't think the macaroni/ham soup or the egg ham toast were anything special, and would not bother ordering these again. The place is super popular, but the line moves quick. You may be seated with strangers at the same table (seems to be common practice in busy HK restaurants). Service was questionable, but I also saw a video online that they are purposely (& famously?) rude to the customers. What made me laugh was that we had barely sat down (my butt touched the seat for 0.1 second) and the waiter already wanted our order. When we said we needed extra time to go over the menu first, we got a bit of a death stare from the waiter. Their concept seems to be "come in, eat right away, and get the hell out!" I had been forewarned by my friend about the service here though, so I wasn't surprised. I'd still come again just for the pudding.

The milk tea is basic but good, and the pineapple bun... definitely not the best one I've had? But something about it hits just right. You see this massive thing show up and you have a bite, and another, and another, and a few more bites later you realize you are almost done with the whole thing, so you might as well finish. If you want a place to linger, find somewhere else. But for your pineapple bun, or a quick bite, this place hits the right feels.

This review is only for the pineapple bun…read more I do not recommend. On multiple, multiple food review sites writing about the best pineapple bun in HK, Kam Fung made the list. Happened to be in wan chai today so why not- We got take out for two buns- one with butter and one without. But even before opening the package we knew something was wrong. Each bun was wrapped in plastic, but was so extremely heavy. How could a bun be so heavy? Opening it and taking a bite - it's like chewy raw dough. I'm not sure if it was really raw, but that's what it felt like. I couldn't finish it. I didn't even want to take a second bite, really. I'm actually very surprised at the good reviews on the bun here. Its one of the few times that Google reviews are more fair and accurate than Yelp reviews for me. Don't trust the lists!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't get this bun!!!!

Go all the way to the back. They really try hard to lose you.... The interior is very classic HK style with tiles, a bit cramped. They are friendly but there is a minimum now and much more $ than other cha chaan teng's. The toast is the star. It is fried perfectly, very light and crispy but not too fried. Spread the melted butter and put lots of syrup on top and dig in. The milk tea is good though I had a hard time telling it apart TBH from say Kam Wah's which was also very good.

Reunited with the love of my life!!! Lan Fong Yuen takes the cake for milk tea in Hong Kong for me…read more Me, having the worst sense of direction I was thinking it was the same location I went to couple months ago. I kept following the GPS and at one point got so irritated because it said I arrived. Looked north, south, east, west-- arrived where?! After 10 minutes of walking I passed by a building and what do you know, it had Lan Fong Yuen and a bunch of other restaurants listed with their respective suite numbers. And of course, it was a completely different location from the one I've been to before. It was great though because I actually got to sit in and order some food this time. Place looks like a retro, older cafe that you see in TVB dramas. It is definitely more spacious than other places in Hong Kong so plently of seats available. Servers do speak some English to where communicating and ordering wasn't a problem. I also appreciate how there was a menu with photos! It always help to have visuals for people not familiar with certain dishes. Anyhow, we ordered the classic iced milk tea, crisp bun with butter, and thick toast. The crisp bun did come out burnt on the edges, which was a little offputting when it first got set on the table. But it did not taste burnt or affected the taste in anyway. I preferred the thick toast a little more, I think it's just overall texture of it being more soft and perhaps visually more appealing. My parents said they liked the bun more though. What I found was really sweet was one of the ladies was walking around, kind of paused for a bit before coming up to our table and pointed the syrup and signaled for us to pour it onto the toast. After we did it she smiled and gave a thumbs up. She knew we were foreigners and not knowing how to properly eat it and wanted to help us despite the language barrier. It shows that LFY really does care and want the best experience for their customers. Because you know, not many will do what she did. Having the mentality of "not my business, why should I care?" Or "I'm not the owner/manager, it's not my responsibility" (I'm pretty sure she wasn't as she was in uniform and in Asian cultures, usually the person at the register is the person in charge) I think that experience will stick with me for a lifetime. Oh and how could I end the review without my beloved iced milk tea! It tasted as wonderful as expected, not too bitter and not too sweet. It came out with the restaurant's cup and not the plastic to go ones with their signature. I was a little disappointed because now I won't have a pretty Instagram shot. I know, first world problems. But I saw a table with those cups so I think my feelings are justified. After finishing everything, I had ordered another iced milk tea to go so that solved my issue. As I'm writing this, I really want some LFY now. Well, till next time Hong Kong!

I never realised how good this place was until I tried another buffet breakfast at another hotel…read more It made me appreciate the relaxed, casual, but up market setting the farm house provided. It wasn't crowded. It didn't have frustrating lines of unorganised people. Or the cookie cutter foods that come boxed and put out on display. Most things here seemed prepared on order and even the hash browns and chocolate croissants still had their crisp outsides rather than the soggy messes I found elsewhere. Located as part of Vic on the Harbour its a great addition. So easy to wander downstairs for breakfast. Most people come dressed ready for the day but you even have guests come in their comfy bathrobes and hotel slippers. Breakfasts were relatively peaceful and there were sunny nooks to eat quietly. Lots of families with kids enjoying their time here together, it's a safe environment where they can keep an eye on them but feel comfortable to let them roam a little. Anyway, great food!! Pace yourself if you are here for multiple days. Don't eat it all at once. Savour the moments to relax and enjoy.

This was the third and final stop of our Sham Shui Po breakfast adventure and I was hoping we'd finish on a bang. Since our party was small enough, we were seated with another couple and shared the table. The menus didn't have English and we ended up using Google Translate a lot but I'm reading reviewers saying that there are English menus so make sure to ask for them! Of course, we ordered the beef and scrambled egg sandwich to share and added on a french toast. We also ordered some HK style milk tea, which is mixed with coffee. It's not specifically mentioned on the menu but if you order cold, it'll come sweetened and hot is unsweetened. Overall, the meal was just alright. The beef and egg sandwiches didn't have much of a flavor and I thought the ground beef was a little dry. The french toast, however, was excellent. Moist, slightly crunchy on the outside, and stuffed with some peanut butter. I'd come back to try something else on the menu but I wouldn't really recommend the sandwiches.

So when I told them to take it off the bill since it was not edible for the vegetarian and we didn't eat it that's when the bad attitude really came.
