Full Cup spans several floors of Hanwai Commercial Building with each floor catering to a specific theme/vibe. I went on a Monday night to the live music floor (3rd floor) and was able to get a table immediately.
Contrary to other reviews I've read, Full Cup does have an English menu so do not fret, non-Chinese readers. You will have access to all they have on offer.I ordered the beef cubes in green curry set which includes a drink and an appetizer. The drink came not too long after I made my order but the salad took a while to arrive, and the beef curry soon after.
I totally loved the salad. The combination of the different textures and flavours - smooth and creamy yoghurt; tangy, sweet and sour flavours from the assorted fruits and berries; chewy raisins; and crunchy, fiber-y muesli was amazing on the palate.
The beef cubes were soft and tender, yet cooked through; and you can really feel the burn of the curry through your nose. Delicious!
And for dessert, I ordered the New York cheesecake (which took a while to arrive as well). It was good, but not extraordinarily memorable.
I liked the food, I loved the atmosphere. The staff assigned to my table was very nice and accomodating, too. But I think they could work on their food delivery timing better. I think the salad shouldn't have taken too long to prepare, yet it arrived just a little before I got my mains so I ended up eating slightly cold mains because I wanted to finish my salad before starting on my curry. But then again, in all my upstairs cafe experience, the time it takes for food and drinks to arrive is always too long. Or maybe I should've told the server that I want my salad first. Or maybe the waiting is supposed to be a part of the experience.Overall, Full Cup's a pretty good after work dinner or hang out place.
