One of the staples is always the cheung fun (rice rolls), lathered in soy sauce, peanut sauce and sweet sauce, with a sprinkle of sesame. Their stuffed "3 treasures" are good as well. That is another classic dish consisting of green bell pepper, eggplant and tofu, each stuffed with a generous amount of fish paste. It's a difficult dish to get right. If not floured well the fish paste will not stick to the vegetables, and the veggies can get overly soggy due to the deep frying. But not here! They are generous with the amount of fish paste, and the vegetables were fried to decent crispiness. This is food that seems like they should be everywhere but is slowly getting replaced by trendy foods. It's also very difficult to get decent versions of these outside of Hong Kong. I highly recommend just stopping by and trying a few things as breakfast or afternoon snack.

My wife and I likes to hunt for specialty coffee shops around the world. It just so happens that Accro coffee has a world siphonist champion and we were hoping to meet her. The store was really well designed. It has a long bar table for the baristas to use, it has many seating indoor and a few outdoor. The store front has coffee related accessories to browse and purchase. Anyway, we didn't had any siphon, we had 2 cups of cappuccino. I forgot which bean we chose but they were both pretty good. Really glad to see the specialty coffee culture is booming in Hong Kong. Hopefully i can visit this coffee shop again soon! We didn't get to meet Pinky this time. The next time I visit, hopefully we can try her coffee!

The view is absolutely the best part - you sit right on the water looking at the mountains. Each person is required to order at least a drink. I had a ginger soda that was some sugar syrup, chunks of ginger and basil. Tasty. We also had the shrimp pork ramen - it's fine but not special. What did look special was what another table was eating - apparently there is a separate menu if you order ahead. If you can figure out how to do that, it seems worth. Otherwise I probably would have used the calories elsewhere during our visit to Hong Kong.

Cafe Paradise is a western style restaurant located in Prince Edward and its quite a nice surprise!…read more Came here around dinner time on a weekend and apparently was very lucky to get a seat right away. Because right after seating a bunch of other people came in and had to get on a waiting list due to almost every other table being reserved already! The atmosphere was cutely decorated, with a cool bookshelf on the wall right when you walk in. They have many different style business cards apparently designed like cards that kids use to trade with. Anyway, the restaurant itself is somewhat spacious by Hong Kong standards. They have all your typical western dishes, such as spaghetti, risotto, all day breakfast, etc. I had the all day breakfast which was pretty nice. It came with an orange juice and strangely a hamburger patty. Dont usually get that in an breakfast set, but I'm not complaining! Dont really have much to complain about, except that the sausage is a little bit weird. Its almost too chewy as if its overly processed. The service and the food is decent, so if I'm in the area I would definitely come back for another meal. PS. if you sit by the window, be ready to have lots of people walk by to look at or take pics of the the miniature carosale..

It must be one of the best kept secrets in town because it's never too crowded. Prices are also very reasonably.

With the discount (30% off), this place is super affordable!

SUMMARY After a disastrous first few hours in HK, this was…read moreour first meal in HK and it was better than expected. It definitely cured the hangry in all of us! Would recommend, but don't expect great service here...or in HK for that matter. ATMOSPHERE (5/5) While I could look this up, I believe this is a licensed theme restaurant as evidenced from the cute, cartoon like atmosphere TeaWood restaurant. The place is adorned with cartoon characters in a woody setting. It's very well done and hat's off to the people who put this together. FOOD (5/5) Wife says this is a Taiwanese character that serves Taiwanese meals and maybe because of this, we were very happy with our meal---mostly because we had a really crappy time getting to our AirBnB and the general attitude of people who we encountered along the way (unhelpful and rude). I ordered a tripe based soup with noodles in a beef broth and it was a 5/5 for me. The broth was very clean, not oily. Noodles were perfectly good. Tripe was not over or undercooked. Vegetables still had a bit of snap to it. Really happy with my meal. My wife ordered a red bean dessert that I took a few bites as well. One of the things I liked about that was how perfectly cooked the mochi balls were. All around delicious. SERVICE (2/5) Perhaps this is a cultural thing, so HK people don't beat up on me too harshly for saying this: but even in a more pricier corporate type of restaurant like this, the service is not friendly was not friendly here and especially at smaller mom and pop shops ***anywhere*** we went in HK. Any time we asked a question, there was this sort of disbelief or umbrage that we would ask a question about what was in a dish, what a certain type of ingredient was, etc. RETURN VISIT? If we do return, we'd probably go back or at least I would. Sans the service, the restaurant is good and tourist friendly to a certain point.

Can someone say YUM up in here?!…read more View of the streets from high up and good food. Taiwanese Pork Chop bento was pretty darn good. They made the minced meat rice correctly.

Rocky road ice cream, slightly chewy and not so fried bread, whipped cream and strawberries! Yum! A cute place, food came out quickly and servers were polite (you may need to flag them down). Great for a date or catching up with a girl friend!

This quality is supreme. My lovely neighbours recommended the Hainanese Chicken rice, the crispy pork and the gorgeous roasted goose. The prices are very reasonable.

Just when I thought my visits to Silvercord were for the occasional quick bite, I've found myself here at least once a week for the past couple of months. I couldn't rank all the eateries throughout the Food Republic variety, but they're all solid and most dishes are somewhere in the 40-70HKD range. There are other restaurants at Silvercord, but in terms of variety and casual vibe, Food Republic is an easy choice. This is especially appealing during that awkward afternoon tea time when every other place is closed. There is a ton of seating and free WiFi thanks to the mall. It's also super kid friendly and . I haven't quite made the rounds yet beyond the Juzzbar, Bafang Yuqi and Shanghainese spots, but I fully intend on trying everything at some point. Given its convenience, I can foresee many lunch meetings and random cravings satisfied here. Another bonus? Most places take credit card.
