Before embarking to Macau for a day trip, we decided to come here for an early 7am breakfast. 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.

Came to try their popular pineapple bun with butter as that was on my list while in HK…read more Inside is the typical old style HK cafe. They have a wall of awards by the pay counter. Be ready to share a table with strangers and don't expect good service as they're not shy to give you some attitude. The pineapple bun was delicious! The top crust was crispy and flaky. Their lemon tea and milk tea was also very good. It was the perfect afternoon snack.

Short walk to the site then took a while to locate it as it is on the 3rd floor of a municipal building. Opted for the sliced fish congee and added a bit of chili oil. It was great...prob the best I have had to date. Felt like I was back in Chrystal Mall in Burnaby. It was a positive food experience.

This is the first time I try this congee place…read more I had the fish belly congee which was delicious. You can taste the freshness of the fish belly which I can't find it in the states. The rice roll is yummy and the service is attentive. Although it is hot inside the market, they have a couple of large fans to circulate the air.

I was here on thursday morning 3 hours before flight back to Vancouver. My roomate and I found this…read moreplace randomly as our hotel was on Argyle St and Sea View was located very closeby. My roomie ordered beef rice roll ($21 HKD) and I got Century Egg with Beef Congee ($30 HKD) with doughnut ($12) and my food was big. Congee was big enough for one person and I couldn't believe the doughnut was big. Later I regretted getting doughnut with congee, because I couldn't finish it all. Delish food for a reasonable price. I would come back here again if I happen to stop at HK for a layover flight.

I've been here multiple times each time I've been in Hong Kong. It's convienetly located near my…read moregrandfather's place and right by the Mong Kok MTR station. It's communal seating, so don't be surprised if you're sitting with other people. I like that this place has a napkin dispenser, which a lot of restaurants in Hong Kong don't give you napkins. Their congee is good and bubbling hot. Not the best I've had in Hong Kong but it's super quick and cheap. Their soy bean milk is delicious and homemade with no added preservatives. It's great cold too. Their rice crepes aren't too bad either. I like the sesame and sweet sauce they provide you on your table. Each time I've been here, it's been with my parents so they usually speak to them/my sparse Cantonese had gotten me by, not too sure if they speak too much English here. It gets crowded at peak times, but you can usually get a seat. Turn over time is super fast. They're efficent and friendly enough!

Good foods! I had…read morethree of their afternoon tea selections--Soup Instant Noodles with Pork Chop and Toast Bun, Mini Spaghetti Bolognese and Mini Fried Flat Noodles with Beef. With the exception of the spaghetti noodles that were baked, so it was dried and hard everything else was good. I will try more of their afternoon tea items. This place is a keeper. Ray out!

Stopped into this random cha chaan teng in Mong Kok for a little snack and pick me up in the form…read moreof their HK egg tarts and HK coffee milk tea. The egg tarts were perfectly flakey and crunchy with a silky soft, slightly sweet and eggy interior. The HK Coffee Milk Tea was definitely on the stronger side with a heavier coffee kick. They had small two person-only tables so no need to share if those are available. This cafe is located near some popular shopping streets and markets but deep enough in Kowloon where nothing is in English, however it helps to have someone who speaks Canto. :) I love these cafes for their fast, no nonsense service and they certainly live up to it.

A small shop with a tiny open kitchen and many patrons eating their breakfasts, plus a line out the…read moredoor? That's good enough visual for me to wander into this restaurant specializing in jook (congee). The beef jook was very tasty and filling. The beef chunks were thin and tender, and the jook consistency was smooth and thick. It's not the ideal breakfast for a warm and humid October morning, but the fresh cold soy milk was mildly sweet and refreshing to help balance the temperature. On the side, I had the rice noodle-wrapped fried doughnut. Drizzled with a bit of soy sauce, it was a little on the salty side. However, the rice noodle had good texture (not too sticky or chewy) and the fried doughnut was chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Overall everything tasted very fresh and delicious! This shop may be small, but service was quick and friendly. Despite a line, you'll be seated within a few minutes. This is a great place in Mong Kok for a satisfying meal for under $40 HKD.

The jook here is awesome!…read more While I was visiting Hong Kong one of my travel companions really wanted to find a place with good jook with no MSG. My local friend brought me here while we were in the Mongkok area and this is just a little mom and pop shop on the street. I had the sliced pork jook and it was really nice on the palate, not overly salty as some places would make it. The taste of the pork was clean and flavorful and came through instead of being hidden by white pepper and salt. The fried donut wrapped in rice noodle was among one of the best that I've ever had. The donut was lightly crispy with a chewy center. The rice noodle was warm and embraced the donut. The sweet soy sauce soaked in nicely and made every bite super tasty and savory.

I was shopping around the street markets in this area looking for cool phone cases when i asked a…read morelocal shopkeeper where to eat good local Hong Kong style food. She told me directions in Cantonese, and pointed off in the distance. The only thing I could remember was the name. I got lost entering the small alleyways but somehow found myself here. They had both English and Chinese menus and ordering was very easy with the waiters. Being the only foreigner amongst a restaurant full of Hong Kong locals, I knew I was in for a treat. The food was more than flavorful, my cousin (who basically found the place) told me that this was the "true and genuine" Hong Kong style fried rice. If you can find this place, or if you have found this place, please let the Yelp community know of this hidden treasure.
