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.

Be ready to share a table with strangers and don't expect good service as they're not shy to give you some attitude. The pineapple bun was delicious! The top crust was crispy and flaky. Their lemon tea and milk tea was also very good. It was the perfect afternoon snack.

If you want that true local dining experience in HK, check this place out if you're in Tsuan Wan…read more Or even stop by because it's a short walk from the Tsuen wan train station. 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.

Came here for brunch as it was near our hotel…read more We came 15 mins after opening and were seated quickly. They gave us a booklet along with the paper to fill out, and most of the dim sum was the classic dim sum that I'm accustomed to. Their chiu chou fun gor was alright for me. They did put a good amount of peanuts in here but the exterior was a bit heavier on the dough side. Their siu mai and har gow were pretty good. Their cheung fun wasn't the silky light type, so I was just alright with it. Their Chicken with Sticky Rice wraped in Lotus Leaf was huge though, way bigger than those in Los Angeles. Their fresh mango custard roll was my highlight though, as they had chunks of mango in the middle and it was sweet. Would try this again. I think the one other aspect of this place is the interior is really clean, and they have a decent amount of tables inside. Service is a bit more attentive as the area isn't as large. I was most certainly full upon completion of this meal though haha.

We…read morelucked out and our party of 4 was able to be seated immediately with some shuffling around of other seated patrons. By the time we left though there was a sizeable line. Mark your order down on the sheet and go to the register to pay and turn in your order. Prices seemed to be slightly on the higher side at a first glance, but our final check ended up being pretty affordable. We tried their har gow, siu mai, baked BBQ pork buns, shrimp rice rolls, deep fried pork dumplings, and deep fried shrimp wonton. Food came out fast and I was pretty happy with all the items we ordered. Overall, decent spot for dim sum but I'd probably only come back if the wait wasn't too long.

Service was quick and friendly. Club sandwich was good. Soup was exactly how you think it would taste. Milk tea and coffee were hot and creamy. Would definitely go back and try some different items.

Food will come out in an equal amount of blinks. I ordered a hot silky egg pudding for myself and goodness me, it was THE BEST. Sweet, silky and absolutely slurpable. Mom and dad got the milk pudding and while it was good, yall need to venture your way into Shunde, China to have the real deal. We got some of the other classics like macaroni and French toast and they were classically good but nothing exceptional. Glad to have finally had the experience!

I'm not raving about service just the experience. We came early to avoid the line and ensure we can eat at our own table. We got her at 7:39AM and breeze in....staff runs the floor with brutal efficiency--you'll have your food within minutes of sitting down! Of course, I got the famous menu set. The scrambled eggs on toast live up to every bit of the hype: rich, buttery, and perfectly glossy. Pair it with their hot milk tea and the signature steamed milk pudding for the perfect ! I never had an egg white pudding but LOVE IT!! Luckily, the staff were very nice to me. This is certainly NOT a place to lounge, but for the food and the sheer local vibe, it is worth every second! Tip: Go on a weekday morning or be like me on Sunday aim to be there by 8AM!

Wow! Our meal and experience here was fabulous. It's been several days since our visit and my…read morefamily is still raving about this place. The staff was super friendly. We were greeted by each staff member we came across as we made our way to our table. The hospitality was unreal. My husband commended the staff for being so friendly. That friendliness lasted throughout our meal. The sommelier helped my husband choose a wine and came up with some fun drinks for our kids. The restaurant is dimly lit and has a mirrored ceiling. I really liked the red velvet booths. The restaurant had a very cool lounge vibe. The restaurant has great cocktails so get started with one of those. We had a good bottle of wine too so you'll be fine either way. For food we ordered the following: Salt & pepper tofu Prawn toast Dim sum platter - crab, veggie, and chicken Roast meat platter - chicken and pork char siu Seasonal green - pea shoot leaves with garlic Egg fried rice Wok fried noodles My favorites were the salt & pepper tofu, veggie dumpling, pork char siu, pea shoots leaves, and fried rice. The pork char siu was my absolute favorite. If given a second chance, we all agreed, we would order a full platter of just the pork. A half platter wasn't enough. I'm still salivating thinking about it. Make sure you visit this restaurant. It was so amazing. Make reservations because it's always busy.

Not sure why this restaurant is so hyped up when it's really so mid. The restaurant is in a dank…read morebasement that is absolutely freezing and everyone kept their jackets on. The bathroom was also super weird, narrow and awkward and so dark that you can't see anything. Of the 2 stalls only one of them had toilet paper in a little roll that wasn't even properly attached to the toilet paper holder. The overall vibe is loud, "club-like," and kind of ratchet, there was a table quite far away from us but the customers were so clearly drunk and loud that the entire restaurant could hear them. We haven't even gotten to the food-- which was below average all around. We had pre-ordered the typhoon crab in advance and it was very expensive, was so over-seasoned, and the crab was not fresh at all. The bbq roast pork (char siu) was okay but incredibly oily and we couldn't finish it. The only passable entree was the fish, but even that was just a steamed fish and nothing to write home about. The service was okay, nothing spectacular but polite enough. The other nice thing was that we got these cute little mah jong desserts and I liked that the outside wall of the restaurant was decorated in mah jong pieces. But overall, this restaurant was my least favorite during our Hong Kong trip and it's just overhyped.

If you are near here, eat here!…read more We were the only westerners in the restaurant, which gives a good hint about local quality. The menu had a LOT of items, each numbered and with short descriptions in English. Everything was, as you'd expect, served family style. We had the hot and sour soup, some veggie dumplings, shredded beef with vegetables, shrimp in chili sauce, all served with tea. Each was fantastic! Seriously. Not good. Not great. Fantastic! There was enough soup for four, which magically disappeared from our table for two. We cleaned every plate, and not because the servings were anything short of generous. The service was also great, while a bit hovering as they seemed worried about how we might handle everything. For one, I was happy they noticed us struggling while making a mess trying to shell the shrimp, bringing us a knife and fork (and extra wet-wipes). Interesting to me, this was the first time we each had two sets of chopsticks. Thankfully, the internet quickly taught us that one set was for serving ourselves from the community plates, and the other for eating. Don't use the eating pair for serving or the serving pair for eating -- it is bad form, especially with COVID being so huge here. Note: they are happy to bring serving spoons, forks and knives if you ask (or appear hopeless). My other mistake, in addition to the shrimp peeling fiasco, was not tipping. When I saw the 10% service fee, and knowing tipping is totally optional and not expected in Hong Kong (and most of SE Asia), I still should have left a bit more, especially considering how helpful they were.

Overall, it is a very good experience.

Hong Kong Cafes with a noodle focus almost always end up being my preferred places to chow down…read more Chui Hing (潮興魚蛋粉) is combines no nonsense service with killer food, along with affordable pricing and 24 hour availability to boot. The pretense is non-existent and locals (including myself!) seem to love it here. So like many noodle spots in HK, this place is fairly small. No big tables for 5+ but quite a few small'ish round tables that are good for solo eats or the invaluable food companion. The aroma coming from the semi-open kitchen should be enough inspiration for folks to know what they want upon arrival, but just in case they have the menus outlined along the wall. An easy way to start? Try a wonton and beef brisket with your choice of noodles. The wontons are somewhat pillowy in texture and full of flavor while the beef brisket is braised well while maintaining a perfectly chewy bite. The noodle variety is good, with egg / rice noodles winning over the crowd though I feel the e-fu noodles take the cake. Lastly, do not sleep on the beef tendon. It's practically butter when done right. Chui Hing does fancy itself as a HK style cafe, so other dishes like congee, fried fish skin, fried rice, may appear on the menu, focus on what to stack in your bowl instead. The staff is really helpful and welcoming.

Pretty good wonton noodle soup and milk tea. They're open 24/7 and very close to many local hotels…read more I only got takeout, but noticed great air conditioning inside. The prices are also very reasonable. I bought beef ball and wonton, wonton noodle soup. I didn't ask to have the noodles separate, but they still retained a good amount of chew by the time I got back up top the hotel. You can pay a little extra anywhere to ask them pack separate. The wontons are ok, beef balls are good, noodles are good, soup okay. The milk tea wasn't very strong but has a nice authentic back flavor. Everything was ready in under 5 minutes. Very good for takeout!

She told us we'd have to trek up to the New Territories for Shing Kee in Shatin. Shing Kee is about a 10min walk from Sha Tin MTR (you'll have to pass underneath the footbridge to get to Lek Yuen Estate, where the restaurant is). Once you arrive, the space is huge compared to HK standards and the decor is so different. There are twinkly lights sprinkled outside the restaurant. Inside is an eclectic array of homemade decoration and artwork. There is so much to see when you're walking to your table. They sat us in a different room with tons of books and clocks - it was awesome! There are a lot of soup base flavors to choose from - we ordered the miso and it was so yummy! The service was quick and efficient and the servers are friendly. Our friends told us this place is very popular and that reservations are a must here! I didn't see an English menu for dinner, but didn't ask for one as our friend ordered for us.
