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.

There's a line outside of the restaurant when I arrived, but I only had to wait for 20 minutes. The place is not that big, so my friend and I had to share a table with 2 strangers (very typical in Hong Kong). I ordered their infamous omelette, a small one. The food arrived quickly. Judging from the size of the omelette, it's made of at least 3-4 eggs. My small omelette was a little burnt, but it was stuffed with a big amount of sliced ham, and you could see the juice oozing out of the omelette. To wash it down of my system, I ordered one of my favorite go-to drinks at a Cha Chaan Teng - Iced lemon tea with less sweet and less ice. For those of you who have not tried an iced lemon tea at a Hong Kong style cafe, it is unlike the canned iced tea that you get where the taste of lemon and tea is overshadowed by the amount of syrup. The iced lemon tea in a typical Hong Kong style cafe is made of fresh lemon slices and brewed tea (and you could request the amount of syrup to be added). It's a refreshing drink. Overall, the service here is efficient and I definitely see that the decor and everything are nostalgic to a lot of people living in Hong Kong. They still write down the price of your order on a piece of paper off of a memo pad as your receipt which is the very old fashioned way of taking an order at a Hong Kong style cafe. Go try this place while you still can.

He was greeted warmly by the cashier, who explained, oh, your daughter is treating you today! (while probably thinking what kind of unfilial daughter I was...) After paying, we found a table and went to pick up the food . Dad told us that usually the staff brings his food to his table. Well, maybe I had too much mediocre Chinese food in the U.S., but we found the food not that bad. Dad's favorite beef curry is flavorful with tender chunks of meat and tendons. My husband ordered a ham and egg breakfast, and with $5 more (like about US$0.70) we got a bowl of noodles. Okay, 4 stars is definitely generous, but hey, thanks for taking good care of my dad.

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.

Black Sesame Soup: The thick charcoal- colored soup of ground black sesame seeds is hot, sweet, and sticky. The black sesame has complex flavors that are deeply nutty, earthy, savory, and a touch bitter. There's enough sweetness that allows for the flavors to shine through. The texture is rich, creamy, and smooth. This is the best bowl of the shop. Sweet Walnut Soup: The mild walnut flavor pairs nicely with bolder flavors. The earthy and nutty flavor is creamy and comforting. Sweet Almond Soup: This highlights the aromatic flavor of almond extract, which is very tasty. The floral and fruity flavors are hats to miss.

It is known for having awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand which piqued my interest as I seek quality tongsui aka sweet dessert soups that remind me of my childhood days. The shop is small and crowded with all others who enjoy tongsui and the line moves fast despite the wait. You can order via a QR code at the table or with staff. The menu is simple and they've got most of the must-haves at dessert shops. They have a minimum spend per person if you are dining in, so beware if your group has a person who doesn't do sweet soups. The worst thing (or best thing) that could happen is you eat one for them. The tongsui we ordered were all very basic and while they were delicious, I couldn't tell if they were better or higher quality ingredients compared to other shops across Hong Kong. If I were to be in the area and wanting tongsui, then sure why not. But I am unsure if I would purposely take the train and walk here.
