I had been to the Causeway Bay branch but never tried the original Tsim Sha Tsui branch due to the long queues. I thought the Causeway Bay branch was ok but not great but I was curious about the Tsim Sha Tsui branch.

I had been to the Causeway Bay branch but never tried the original Tsim Sha Tsui branch due to the long queues. I thought the Causeway Bay branch was ok but not great but I was curious about the Tsim Sha Tsui branch. When I saw a Groupon deal where for $58, you get a hainan chicken rice, kaya toast and a drink. I decided to use it at the Tsim Sha Tsui branch to try it out as there are no longer any long queues.

While in line to order, there was a wait staff that asked all the foreigners how many people were with them and they reserved a table for them. It was weird as she asked the foreigner in front of me and behind me but skipped asking me if I needed to reserve a seat. After, I paid, I looked around for a seat. The same wait staff informed me that waiting for take out should stand here. I told her I wasn't there for take out and was looking for a seat. She then informed me that there were no seats available and did anyone reserve one for me. This, however, was ridiculous as there were many seats available. I said that I was completely ignored by her while she asked every one else in line to reserve a seat but me. She apologized and quickly got me a seat.

Food came super fast. Like less than 5 minutes.

Yin yang was ok. It was smooth and wasn't overly bitter like some places where I've had this.

Kaya toast with butter was horrible. The toast was cold though it was crispy.

The toast was so cold that the cold butter couldn't melt away. Kaya was overly starchy. Definitely a sign of not enough egg and too much pandan in the ingredients. It was also just sweet and lacked enough coconut flavor.

Hainan chicken rice was horrible. I had better hainan chicken rice at the Food Republic food court than this place. The rice was so salty, I couldn't finish. The chicken was dry and salty.

This definitely hit the last nail in the grave for me ever coming back here again. I won't return.
