This review is only for the pineapple bun…read more I do not recommend. On multiple, multiple food review sites writing about the best pineapple bun in HK, Kam Fung made the list. Happened to be in wan chai today so why not- We got take out for two buns- one with butter and one without. But even before opening the package we knew something was wrong. Each bun was wrapped in plastic, but was so extremely heavy. How could a bun be so heavy? Opening it and taking a bite - it's like chewy raw dough. I'm not sure if it was really raw, but that's what it felt like. I couldn't finish it. I didn't even want to take a second bite, really. I'm actually very surprised at the good reviews on the bun here. Its one of the few times that Google reviews are more fair and accurate than Yelp reviews for me. Don't trust the lists!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't get this bun!!!!

This Cha Chaan Teng is really for old school HK'ers. I was not a fan of any of their "baos"…read more.. Their milk tea was not great either. It didn't have the milk tea flavor... Perhaps it's just not for my kind of tastebud... my younger son liked his macaroni in soup. My older one did not like his "bor lor yao"... which is the pineapple bun with a thick piece of butter... all the baos were very dense... and not fluffy like other ones we've tried. The only saving grace - the Chicken Pie! It's crusty and flavorful. Anyway, small shop, a few tables and you will be sharing with strangers if you're solo. They do pour the left over soups into a bucket right underneath your seats... so not quite sanitary... but you'll live. Bring lots of wet naps. Cash Only.

I came in for breakfast twice during my stay in Hong Kong. Each time I walked in, the staff asked…read moreme how many and let me sit anywhere. Although it was busy on my first visit, it didn't feel overwhelming, nor did I feel rushed and herded by staff. Orders are done through the QR code on the table, but my phone service was wonky that day and one of the employees was very nice and took my order. That did lead me to panic ordering the HOTTEST egg toast, but that's my own fault and I surely paid the consequence. I like spicy food, but that lacked flavor and only burned. They have a big menu, including vegetarian options and famous HK bakery items like egg tarts and pineapple bread. The regular egg toast is delicious, a heaping serving of creamy eggs over thick toast. Then of course I had to try the famous Hong Kong Milk tea, which was also delicious. It's made with a full bodied black tea and has a rich earthy flavor. No sugar added so it's not sweet unless you make it so. When I was finished, I paid at the register and was on my way.

We got a char siu macaroni soup, bolo bao, and truffle scrambled egg toast. There was a lot of egg on the toast but the truffle tasted more like a dark chocolate crumble? Not sure if that's what it was supposed to be but still appetizing. Macaroni soup was delicious. I just enjoy pasta in soup. Lol. The bolo bao was a bit of a disappointment due to the bread being cold. I don't know if there was an option to just tell them we wanted it hot. Also ordered Hong Kong milk tea but the waiter misheard even though he repeated it and sent a sweet tea instead. Not bad for a comfort food spot.

It could be just due to my wife not being a fan of Hong Kong Cafe style food. My wife is sort of a…read moretraditionalist and doesn't like the funky combinations that places like Kam Kee provide. But for me it's different. A Hong Kong cafe is like heaven for a stoner who has the munchies (just to make it clear, I've never been stoned. At least not for a long time!) But I do see the appeal for someone with these cravings. Everything comes with gravy or some type of tomato sauce. They make Coke Cola ice creams floats. French toast squares with ice cream. Funky right? But we ordered: Baked Pork Chop: this was a decent version. I think one more pork chop in the entree would have made it complete. The tomato sauce with the rice was a nice blend. Mixed grill: this was my wife's entree and she didn't like it much. She said it was ok. Flat noodles: that's what it's called in the menu but I know it as Chow Fun. I always like this dish and Kam Kee makes it decent. Service was proficient and friendly. My wife said it's a three star eatery but what takes this place into four category is they put effort into the design or ambience of the cafe whereas many places don't invest in that. It's a nice looking restaurant with decently satisfying comfort food.

I ordered the French toast with peanut butter while hubby ordered a bolo bao with butter. The bolo bao came really fast while the French toast took a while longer. But everything came out nice and warm and was delicious. We had to scoop out some of the butter from the bolo bao though because it was too much. Hubby ordered a hot milk tea while I got an iced one. It was so rich, creamy, and smooth. Honestly made me feel a little jittery though because the tea was pretty strong. Service here was so so. The ladies working were rushing us to order which was understandable since they were so busy. Don't expect to sit and have a nice chat after you're done eating though because they will shoo you out.

But not enough wok hei/smokey flavor. 4/5 FRIED GARLIC CHICKEN AND RICE ~ flavorful and juicy chicken with crispy skin! Loved this dish! But if you're hungry, the piece of chicken was on the small side, though you get a good helping of rice. 4/5 BAKED PORK CHOP WITH PASTA ~ Not as cheesy as others and pasta got hard from baking. Flavor was good and tangy from the tomato sauce. 3.5/5 They also had baked goodies like pineapple buns, egg tarts, and other pastries, but we didn't try them, but we heard from a local that they're pretty good too.

Their menu offers a very good deal for breakfast sets at a good price considering the individual items would total more. The food comes very fast, and service is very prompt with getting your order and the bill as you can treat this place as more of a quick meal rather than dining. The portion of food is fairly big and I could never finish everything myself. Generally I find most of the dishes are pretty flavorful, but the must have is the traditional Hong Kong milk tea. There is a good taste of tea behind which makes it pretty rich tasting. However, for the cold version, I find it a bit sweeter. We are usually very full and yet don't need to hurt our wallets too much haha.

Per usual, they serve food up real quick so be ready to eat once you order. I had the following... Breakfast Set Special - (Scrambled Eggs. Buttered toasted buns. Two Sausages. Macaroni & Tomato in tomato broth. Coffee.) The stars are definitely the eggs and the buns. Eggs are cooked perfectly with a silky and smooth texture. Buns were buttered generously and had a nice crunch to it. The macaroni was ordinary and in my opinion, pretty forgettable. Breakfast Set B - Same as above, but with satay beef noodles in place of the macaroni and sausages. I thoroughly enjoyed the satay beef, but I wish there were more pieces of beef! Again, the eggs and buns were both on point and elevates the entire breakfast set. Overall, this was an enjoyable breakfast experience. Tasty items with affordable prices. I don't think it's a place where you'll come very frequently, but once in awhile is okay!
