(If you start walking from Ngau Tau Kok, it's the first thing you'll see) It's right next to the washrooms. There are four seats outside the little cabin. There are two people working inside and they're very polite! The cutest thing is you can borrow a wooden picnic box from them (comes with a picnic cloth), and they put your food in this box. You take this set to the grass. You turn the box over to use as your table. Coffee is nice! The food also really good too. Pricey and the portions are tiny.

Not that…read morethey don't do other non-BBQ dishes well, but the BBQ is clearly better than other options in both taste and texture. The Char Siu is fatty, juicy, and tender; the chicken is marinated well inside and outside so that it's flavorful but not excessively salty; the roast pork has a wonderfully crisp skin underneath the perfect mix of lean and fatty pork, and the roast duck is seasoned to perfection with spices that really accentuate the delicious flavor of the meat. Definitely make a visit if you're in the area for a quick and delicious snack.

The Pacific Coffee at New Town Plaza is constantly busy - and I mean constantly. Located on the…read moresixth floor where all the electronics store are, the Pacific Coffee is near Samsung and Osim. It's not huge by any means, which explains why it is always so crowded and hard to find a table. Being able to land a vacant table here within ten minutes is a victory in itself. Everybody here seems to be the kind of annoying table hogger that buys one drink and site there for absolutely ages, whether it's to type away on their laptop or catch up with an oh-so-dear long lost friend. Besides for you, there are probably a few other groups who are standing by waiting for a table to free up too. Many a times, my mother and I want to get some coffee here (as she holds a DBS credit card, drinks are 30% off, plus we have their loyalty card too so in certain months we're good for their 2-for-1 promotion). But we leave in frustration and head for somewhere else, because finding a table is just impossible. Besides, they seem a bit short staffed and they're not very quick in coming over and cleaning up dirty tables and taking the trays away to make way for new customers. This can get annoying especially if whoever occupied the last table last had a sandwich and littered crumbs all over the table. This outlet of Pacific Coffee doesn't have a distinct coffee shop vibe because it's always so busy, and the tables are placed quite close to each other so it's cramped. A better outlet is the one around five minutes away over at HomeSquare - much less busy and just a better environment.

I'm not a big fan of that because it's open to the rest of the mall and very noisy. The tables are also very closely placed together so it feels very crowded. Coffee wise, it's just average coffee like all of the other Pacific Coffees.

Demure in size but serious on the caffeine is The Brew Job, one of the better coffee spots in…read morewestern Kowloon. Only a stone's throw away from the Olympia Station, this place is so small that it's easy to miss. For folks looking for a quiet place to chat or some caffeine with a side of WiFi, this place fits the bill. Bear in mind, The Brew Job is no Starbucks. There is no indie music or up and coming artists playing in the background, or a fancy gift card for future purposes. The layout is narrow with super small tables and an even smaller tiny counter. Conversations are bound to be overheard, the smell of the coffee will permeate the room, and patrons are typically in and out constantly. Thankfully the staff is both efficient and friendly. It's a cash only operation, but it's nice knowing they also take Octopus cards. While the cappuccino and ice coffee are my go-tos (under $40), the real motivation for being here is their reasonably fast WiFI and solid, intimate meeting space. There is a parking garage across the street and some bicycle parking areas for commuters. Don't come here in a group of course, but for solo sipping and/or some intimate conversation, this is a quality neighborhood spot.

I stumbled across this cafe on my way from the train station to the hotel on my first day of…read morearrival and ended up enjoying a good breakfast every single morning. It is quite a small place and recommended to groups larger than 3 people. The espresso is quite mild and slightly sour with a tense of fruit aroma. I tried most of the bagels and ciabatta with salmon and pastrami. Breakfast takes some time as everything is prepared freshly. This is definitely a good place to slow down in a busy city and the place to go for people who appreciate third generation coffee.

The Pulled beef Benedict is extremely lack of flavor. The poached egg has no taste as well. Overall if it is one of the signature dish, then I don't know what else to say. The Ragu Papperdalle is a bit better in taste, at least not seasoning and flavor. Honestly, not recommended for a brunch spot as price is not really cheap. Spent over $300 for two without drink.

The café offers both indoor and alfresco seating, creating a laid-back vibe with its crisp white décor. My fav of the day goes to The pork shred is tender and flavorful, infused with a smoky sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the creamy hollandaise. Another main dish was rich and flavorful, with tender chunks of beef slow-cooked to perfection. Esp. the sauce!! Love it so much. Doused in umami yoghurt sauce, was also fork-tender, while its accompanying sauce adds a creamy texture and a hint of nuttiness. We rounded off our meal with a special . It looks aesthetic with its baby pink colour. The sweetness of the chocolate perfectly balances the natural earthiness of the beetroot!

Maxim MX is one of these, and this branch recently opened in Jubilee Garden mall in Fo Tan. I felt compared to other restaurants, this one lacked a lot of good options. I got their fish cutlet which was incredibly small and tasted bland. It came with a piece of toast which was also average, and some hard-boiled eggs which were incredibly temperature hot when they came out it was really hard to peel the shell off. Mostly forgettable meal, though can't argue with the convenience.
