Opened a week ago ( review written on 25 Jan 2019 ) this is the latest addition to this Hong Kong Themed Cafe Chain located at the Stanley Plaza.
As it says in their intro., the Cafe opened its door back in 1967, during a time of turmoil in Hong Kong, when the city was engulfed in one of the most violent & bloodiest riot. This is also a period that sees most social changes being implemented, as immigrants from China swamped into Hong Kong, the government responded by building Social Housing and other major construction programs.
With the population having more disposable income, as jobs are abundant in manufacturing and textiles industries; opportunities abound, many small businesses and entrepreneurs started their venture.
Kam Kee is one of those, its main theme is no frills everyday working folks food! Nothing fancy, they also do some Chinese influenced Western dishes, such as Fried Rice baked in different sauces to give the customer something new and yet familiar.
This new location also carries Kam Kee's theme of having a retro feel, from the plates, cups, containers etc. all reflected the older Hong Kong.
Food is above average in my opinion for this type of restaurants where gimmick can be the main reason for dinners to come in rather then for their food. My Beef & Choi Sum ( Chinese Green ), is a throw back to more simpler times, where basic ingredients made the Mom's way is popular and delicious. The Baked Fish Fillet in Cream Sauce on Fried Rice is also true to its roots, without being too fancy and modern.
Stanley Plaza is a tourist area, and to have prices that reflect everyday working folks is a breath of fresh air! Come and enjoy the surrounding and savour the old Hong Kong!
