Taste: Chicken pie in pea soup looked really nice in the plate. I have never had pea soup before and was not expecting it to be nice but to my surprise, it was creamy and acceptable. It really made me felt I was eating a mouthful of peas, and it goes well with the chicken pie crust itself. The chicken pie crust is crispy and not soggy at all even it has been soaked in the soup. The crust tastes sweet and buttery. The meat inside is nice and creamy. I liked how they have soup with the pie, usually having the pie on its own is quite boring, but with the soup it tastes erotic. For this dish i will give it a 5 star, it was the dish that i came for and it did not disappoint me.
Banana Pancake with walnuts in syrup looked really attractive, nicely put together. With layers of pancake and banana topped up with toasted walnuts. The walnuts really added a taste to the pancake, as the pancake n banana are both soft tasting food, walnuts on other hand was crunchy. The pancake was thick in texture, it really fills you up, but after a while the syrup got abit too sweet for me. But this dish really surprised me on how well it was put together.
I had quite high hopes for the Toast with egg and ham omelet, and it did not disappoint me. The egg was not overcooked, was still creamy an runny with a lovely buttery taste. It taste better than alot of other 'old' hk cafe. the ham is average.
However, the roast pork with spaghetti in soup was a surprise. usually they give ham with macaroni with soup in other cafe and it is so bland. Salty clear soup. But with the spaghetti here, is not just in salty water, but actually in a chicken stock soup and the roast pork was nice.
The only complaints are the ice tea and ice coffee. they were very watery and tasteless. I think they could do abit of improvements on that as Milk tea and Milk coffeee is very important as part of the HK cafe meals!
ps: I love their uniform, it is those old school grey top!!! I love their immick!
