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.

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.

This location has a little bakery on the outside that sells egg tarts and typical bakery food. On weekend mornings, you'll see a long line at the bakery section because the pastries taste great and are really affordable - hk$7 for a pineapple bun and hk$10 for a pineapple bun with a slab of butter, which is a hk staple. They also sell Mexican custard buns, which I realized are really popular at these chain hk cafes, but I've never tried them. I did try the egg tarts here for just hk$6. They're so good! Flaky just the way I like it, but not as sweet as nyc egg tarts. Mind you, these bakery items are available not only as to go orders but to stay orders. They make great breakfast food or even an afternoon snack. The first time I ate here was for breakfast and I ordered one of those set meals. I got the beef with pasta in tomato soup. The set included a hot drink and two buns with egg and ham. The meal wasn't that memorable but I came back for dinner cause the food pics looked so good. I love hk baked minced beef over rice/spaghetti, and the ones here are unbelievably good. I love how perfect the egg they add on top looks and it's runny! I'm not a big eater but I'm usually able to finish the whole dish because that's just how tasty it is. I've also had their soup noodles here before and the portion is huge. Honestly, you won't regret coming here. There's a wide range of items on the menu to suit everyone's tastes and budget.

As someone who speaks no Chinese, I was able to rely on the fact that no other restaurants on the floor were open. I cannot believe how luscious the French toast was. How has no one popularized in the US condensed milk instead of syrup?? The bottled chilled milk tea was sensational too. Strong flavor, cut by creamy milk. Outstanding. Make this a stop on your Hong Kong journey.

Quite unassuming of a business, but they don't need to be when the food is good. I came here during the COVID pandemic when social distancing only allowed two people at a table. There were three of us however, as I visited this place with two new friends, but we somehow made our seating arrangement work. We were seated on plastic stools around simple round tables that seemed to belong to the market and could probably use some wiping. We split a few items between the three of us, and everything was super tasty and traditional Hong Kong. Milk tea in a bottle, French toast, and an egg and beef sandwich. One of my friends is a local, so he was able to order in Cantonese for us. He also happened to have recommended this place to us. Shout out to him for being such a good foodie friend.

It's open all the time and offers piping fresh pineapple buns along with other assortments of buns and egg tarts that can be purchased right outside to go or ordered while you're at the table. You seat yourself when you walk in then they'll take your order once seated. The check is brought to you ahead of time but you won't pay until you bring the check up to the counter when you're done. Definitely a cheap eats option as we had two meals along with two pineapple buns and egg tarts for only around $15 US!! Downside is that it's cash only, they didn't accept credit cards.

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 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.

It's a great restaurant to experience the culture of local HK food. The food came hot every time. The drinks are decent. Try the iced lemon tea, those are amazing! You can try those fried rice. The fried rice was flavoured just right. And the chicken in it was so juicy and tender. The Stone Pan served steak was great( for me, not sure for visitors from the US and abroad) You could choose two kinds of steaks from the menu and choose what sauce( best for the black pepper one )( don't expect to much on a HKD$47 steak set ) Overall, it was a great restaurant and I would like to come again soon.
