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.

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.

We got here fairly early, so we didn't have to wait for a table. Service was as expected - quick, efficient, and no nonsense. A tell-tale sign of a good HK cafe. 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. Note that they don't accept foreign credit cards, so be prepared with cash, Octopus, or Alipay.

Service: It was quite busy on a Saturday so it was a bit difficult to get service to get our food ordered, our bills, extra cups, etc. They also kept trying to bringing the food that other people had ordered (even before we had placed our order). We saw other people having hotpot here and would consider revisiting for other food or in the area for dinner, or even trying the hotpot.

My friends and I got there around 7pm and we could already see people lining up or sitting on stools waiting for tables. (Reservations strongly recommended but that only applies to big group of people) After we sat down, we ordered one whole chicken and chose a little bit spicy for the stew (sorry but I really cannot take too much heat). The best part of chicken pot is that they use every single part of the chicken (though most westerners do not prefer chicken with bones...) As expected, the chicken was very tasty with the sauce. It was very smooth and perfectly cooked. However I had to point out that it was still too hot for me. So all those who cannot have spicy food - beware! After that, soup was added to dilute the sause and we ordered the cripsy fish skin, lots of lots of veggies (to make myself feel better); and if you have an adventruous heart - go for the chicken balls. Yup, literally the chicken balls with a chewy and rubbery texture.. (urgh...) Anyway, we enojoyed ourselves very much and that only cost us around HKD$200 per person. However, can I say that the air-conditioning here is clearly not strong enough... we felt like we went to a gym... but all in all, the food was good and we will come again!

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 cafe makes their own selection of canto bakery which is not common with most in HK . It is also the reason I came back . Along with the famous pineapple bun with butter ( served on ice !!), they also have cocktail bun ( sweet bun with coconut innards ), coconut tart, egg tart etc. I would highly recommend the satay beef noodle set ( A set, hkd 26) which is my ultimate favourite. on my rating for this noodle, I would give the restaurant 3.5/5 :)! Note : if you change your drink to ice/ cold, It is a standard in HK that surcharge hkd2 is added

No booze here - walk one block if you haven't had enough of that. They do make a fantastic HK milk tea, though. A thick Malaysian Curry is full of chunky beef, and I love the soft tendon. A casserole of fried pork chop with tomato sauce and cheese is like chicken parm for Asians. And the Asians did it better. The Hainan Chicken is great, though they don't make the garlic rice. Now for the best food in Hong Kong: Bread with condensed milk and butter. It tastes like it sounds, and it sounds pretty whatever, but it's indescribably delicious. Less $50 USD to feed three hungry people, and the food comes out instantly. There's less than ten minutes between ordering and arrival, and each dish is awesome. If I'd known the HK diner food was this good, I could have skipped all the Michelins.
