Knowing that a typhoon was on its way, my sister and I had to go out since there was a chance that we'd be stuck at home for 2 days. We got there at about 1pm and it was packed. Since it was such a hot day, I really didn't want to sit outside but the only table opened was one that was outside so it was that or leave. Environment & Cleanliness:I didn't get to see the inside, but the open area was nice. Maybe because everyone hanging out there seemed relaxed so I felt relaxed too and just wan
Environment & Cleanliness:
I didn't get to see the inside, but the open area was nice. Maybe because everyone hanging out there seemed relaxed so I felt relaxed too and just wanted to enjoy my day with some nice food and coffee. There weren't any crumbs or leftover food pieces on the ground or table, and also there weren't any birds walking around so it met my cleanliness standard.
Taste & Value:Looking at the menu on the chalkboard, I already decided what I wanted, but I decided to still look at the book of menu to see if anything else would catch my eyes. Nothing did so I stuck with my decision- The Classified Burger($99) and a regular cafe latte ($29). Then, I persuaded my sister to get the salad and pasta combo ($106) because I like pasta. ahahah She also got a Homemade Lemonade ($29) because it really was so hot today.
Maybe I'm getting more and more picky with my coffee so I didn't really like the latte I ordered. I think the milk and coffee portion was off since it tasted more like warm milk with a hint of coffee taste. I had a sip of my sister's lemonade because it was cold. She liked it and I did too because it wasn't overly sweet and it was so refeshing on this hot day.
Now, to the food. The salad came first and althought it wasn't mine, I tried a bit. There wasn't anythng special about it. Then, the burger came. I liked that yam fries came with it since they are hard to come across in HK. The bun of the burger was a sesame bun and it was huge. The patty was a bit bland in my opinion maybe because I'm used to my mother's patties, which are loaded with different spices. After a few bites, I got a bite of something that couldn't be chewed, which was a HUGE TURNOFF for me. I hate it when that happens. I swear if it happens more often, I'm gonna become a vegetarian. I honestly lost my appetite after that and started to worry about the meat in my sister's pasta. The pasta for today was Linguini Bolognese. Luckily, every bite I had was good. It was actually very delicious. The sauce was rich and thick and a bit cheesy I think? Anyways, I liked it way more than the burger. Overall, I think the prices for most items were reasonable.
Service:There wasn't much service since I had to go up to the counter order and pay. The only service was having the food brought to us. However, through the little contact we had, the staff seemed friendly so it was okay I guess.
Final Verdict:
I'm not sure if I'd return because of the chunk in the burger that turned me off. Yes, maybe I'm overreacting, but if Im paying for food that price I want to be able to enjoy it. Also, the food and drinks weren't that outstanding so I don't know what I'd come back for.
