A number of restaurants have opened over the years in Happy Valley but from all the years I've lived here, 牛奶冰室 (English name: Milk Cafe) is the only one I can think of that had the whole neighbourhood a buzz. This was the first cha chan teng run by a huge restaurant group. And it seemed everyone was curious. I had tried the one in Causeway Bay and have been to a number of their other restaurants in this group. So, I knew what to expect. But how will it fare in my little neighbourhood? I decid
Like the other more main stream cha chan tengs, the decor is more polished. They have a lot of staff. The front is a small bakery area from their bakery chain. Baked goods looked really beautiful and fresh.
Menu is in English and Chinese. There is no 10% service charge. You order by scanning a QR code which is in English and Chinese. It's very smooth and I found no problems figuring it out. You pay on your way out. Breakfast sets all come with a hot drink with possible upgrades.
I got my favourite item from this group: the ice lemon tea. It was in a large glass. Why is it my favourite? Because instead of lemon slices, you get actual fresh lemon juice squeezed into the tea so you really are drinking a lemon tea.
For breakfast I had a scrambled egg with cutlet fish fillet with corn and garlic butter on toast ($46). The corn was sweet and lightly grilled. The fish fillet was bit thin but was crispy and not over cooked. The toast could have used a bit more butter. And the egg was creamy with a taste of the milk added to it. I was quite satisfied with it.
Service was very nice and food came out promptly. Perhaps due to this place run by a large restaurant group, everything went a lot more smoothy. Boyfriend noted they offer more items here than the Causeway Bay branch. He also noted the portion size was a bit smaller as well. But it's still a welcome addition to my neighbourhood and I'll definitely be back.
