I had been to Killiney in Tsim Sha Tsui and I have to say that I loved every bit of it. It would…read morehave been much better had it not been that many people waiting for tables as always. Therefore, you can expect my excitement when I heard that it opened another branch at my neighborhood - Tuen Mun. Ever since the renovation in On Ting, it seems like lots of 'fancier' shops and restaurants have come to this place. I am not sure if these places would cater the needs of the residents here given the it is surrounded by public housing. Regardless, I must say that that news pleases me tremendously. Let's see if this tastes as good as the one in Tsim Sha Tsui. Killiney is a Singaporean and Malaysian restaurant. Any my favorite dish has to be its laksa. Laksa is a popular spicy noodle soup from Malay and Singapore. It tasted very authentic actually, very rich and spicy but not the heat I cannot handle. If you are just here for snacks, try the French Toast. It is extremely crispy on the surface but very soft on the inside. You can almost taste the flavor of egg as well. Notice that this is a half self serviced place so you are to order the food at the cashier and get a sign in return. Later when the food is ready, waiter will get that for you. Anyways, this one is not as packed as the one in Tsim Sha Tsui. You bet that I will be coming back again!

This is one of two places I go for my authentic Singaporean chicken rice fix... The other being…read moreCafe Malacca @ Hotel Jen. While the chicken rice there is arguably [marginally] better at Cafe Malacca, Old Town wins out for location (in the heart of Central), portion size (generous) and quickness of service (I don't think I've ever waited for more than 10 minutes). The chicken rice is as authentic you would expect, right down to the gelatin between the skin & meat. The winter melon soup is great and the soup bowl they serve it in is a nice touch, though not exactly conducive for easy scooping into mouth. At $98 for the regular set and $116 to top up for a thigh meat portion, it certainly ain't cheap, but I am sympathetic to restaurants having to pay super high rents in Central. A couple of tips: - Come during lunch or dinner and get the regular chicken rice set. The teatime chicken rice set is cheaper but you are getting less proportionally per dollar. - Top up an extra $18 for thigh meat. Totally worth it. - They have some amex discounts. I believe if you pay your bill on weekdays before 1245pm you get 12% off your bill. - Upgrade your drink to a coconut. They are always cold and fresh.

I came here for lunch with a friend on a weekday…read more Food: I'd heard that their Hainan Chicken was good here and was excited to try it. The Hainan Chicken Lunch set ($98 + 10% service fee) was good and I felt pretty full after. It had several pieces of boneless chicken, a melon soup, rice with the chicken oil (not too oily and pretty flavorful), and 3 sauces to go with the chicken. The sauces were a sweet one, ginger, and a soy sauce like one. Overall, I feel like it was a good portion size and food was tasty. All sets comes with a hot or cold barley water. I got the hot and found it to be the right amount of sweetness. FYI: They also have a Hainan Chicken and Laksa set for $128, if you like Laksa as well. Wait for table: For this building, there is a line outside to get into the building via the elevator, but the line moves relatively quickly. On arrival at 12:30, we had to get a number, and waited half an hour for 2 people, so it's best that you go earlier. Promotion: They give you 15% off your bill if you pay your bill by 12:40pm so if you can go earlier, you not only get a deal, you can beat some of the later crowds. Service: Food came quickly as you are requested to tick off the items you want on a sheet of paper to pass to the waiter when you are seated. They were also quick to give us the check when we were done eating. And we didn't feel like they rushed us either, which was nice for chatting up and catching up.

It's worth coming here just for this dish. The chicken is nice and moist and the rice is fragrant and not too oily. It also comes with a bowl of chicken soup. The nasi goreng is also really quite nice. It comes with two pieces of chicken sate and a fried drumstick and is topped with a fried egg. The drinks were not as nice as the food. The the Tarik here really tastes more like a Hong Kong milk tea than a yeh Tarik. The lime soda also has a bit o a Hong Kong flavor to it and more resembled a salty lemon seven up than a lemon soda.

We also ordered some fried rice, vege stir fry and a fish all of which was sub par even compared to your local corner Thai restaurant.

If you're familiar with Singapore, you will know that Katong is a neighborhood west of Downtown,…read moreknown for their laksa. I didn't know that until I visited Singapore last month as I tried Katong Corner in July. We ordered the Hainan Chicken Rice, Char Kway Teow, and Beef rendang. The chicken was delicious! But my qualm is the rice that accompanied the dish. You can taste the chicken in the first bite of rice, but for some unknown reason, it had a very strange plastic-y kind of after taste that did not sit well on my taste buds. I tried to mask it with the soy sauce, chili sauce and ginger condiment and it only mediated that odd after taste ever so slightly. The Singaporean-style Char Kway Teow came with a large prawn in the center. It looked very impressive, but how did it taste? It was a solid plate of noodles, with a variety of thick and flat noodles, but the prawn was overcooked. After tasting this dish, I realized that I preferred the Penang-style CKT with a little spice kick and fried egg. To each his own. On the other hand, the Beef Rendang was very tender. If I return, I'd definitely order this again. We were served four large beef patties and the rendang sauce was 5 stars! Probably best in HK that I've tasted. I can't wait to try their other dishes, especially their Laksa and Singapore chili crab.

There are other varieties such as laksa, beef rendang, nasi goreng and char kuay teow. No wonder it is so packed at lunch time, we waited almost a good hour for a table. The hainan chicken comes with three sauces. The chicken is good but not tender enough - I think it's more to do with the breed of chicken then the cooking. The bak kut teh (rib soup) comes piping hot on a stove, and has a rich herbal flavor and lots of ingredients in it. I love the laksa noodle has a strong flavor, and the satay are tender and juicy. The lunch set comes with a barley drink, which is so delicious, I managed to drink half of it, to the brim of bursting my belly. Overall, good quality food for at a fair price, fast service.

We came during their lunch service without reservation. We were really lucky to get seated immediately before they got super busy. They have an amazing menu and lunch set menu, but I preferred à la carte. I wished I could order every single item on the menu to try tho because everything just looked so good. My husband always loves the roti canai, so he got both the fish and lamb. I got the Mee Siam, and Hainanese chicken rice. My little one got the fried chicken (excellent, didn't taste like fast food). For desserts and drinks we ordered Teh Tarik (of course), soursop soda, coconut jelly, cendol and durian pudding (their signature desert using Musang King- must try). Everything was delicious and authentic. We all had food coma afterward. Nice, clean and chill vibe. Service was friendly. We'll definitely gonna come back when visiting HK again. Highly recommended!!!

The restaurant is on the Second Floor for the Hotel Jen. There is a pretty large and open dining area. We got there at 11:30am, right before the lunch rush came in, and it filled up quickly. We had different dishes and found them to be flavorful, I'd recommend their Rojak which is pretty spicy, their beef satay and Char Kway Teoy. We saved room for their Malaysian shaved ice with ice cream (Ice Kacang) which was really good. This place is better than a lot of the Malaysian food we could get back home in the Bay Area, CA, so I'd highly recommend this place and we'd likely return next time we're in HK.

The broth is ridiculously fragrant and if you like garlic you will love this soup. The meat is tender and is really a great dish. The laksa here is solid with a delicious creamy broth. Wish there were some fish cakes which would have really added to the dish. Nasi Lemak is also great...fried chicken was nice and crispy. Don't forget to order the drinks. Both the Hk style and Singaporean drink options were great. Lemon ice tea just as good as a local shop and the teh terik was awesome. The only dish I didn't like that much was the chicken rice. The poached chicken is served with a gravy which is odd and if it added to the dish I wouldn't mind but I didn't like it much. Also, the rice was too wet and clumped together.

Plus 2 appetizers for the table to share. Total was just $100HKD each!! There is a photo for everything on the menu (except appetizers and drinks) so you can pick by photo! Which was what I (illiterate Chinese) did. I chose curry noodles: taste like laksa ramen, super flavourful and mildly spicy. It's not spicy if you enjoy spicy. There is a lot of food inside this bowl of soup, it's not just plain curry and noodles. Highly recommended. I had a taste of my friends' dish and they were all really really good. The two appetizers we shared were extremely delicious. Both are curry and pancake bread. The bread is very soft and already good, to dip in FREAKING DELICIOUS curry. Omg The yellow one is mango curry. It's sweet mango like dessert but with curry flavour. As strange as it sounds, it was soooooo good together. The red one is plain spicy and thin curry (not creamy like the yellow one), honestly you can make this a meal by ordering rice on the side. It's so good!! I want to drink it! Service is nice!!! The restaurant is extremely small and we had to wait a little bit at 8pm to be seated. If you come as 1-2 people, you'll be seated right away. However for big groups, tough luck!

Service level can be improved as nobody came to check on us after the food was served and the server was kind of rude when I asked for a takeout box for the leftovers (by the way, it was $3 surcharge). Overall, i would recommend the restaurant for hainanese chicken.

However, the variety of food here is great and flavors are actually quite nice. The hainan chicken portions are very tiny though, so don't come if you have a hungry hippo American appetite (lol), or order two dishes. Also keep in mind that any meat from the soups you order will be completely dry and crumbly from simmering in the broth for so long--meaning you're ordering strictly for the soup, not the stuff in there. I will say that the beef brisket noodles are really good and that is probably worth the most bang for your buck if you come here. Lastly, this place is quite pricey--on par with US prices and more expensive than US hainan chicken places. You're basically paying to say you went to a "Michelin" restaurant.
