I've always wondered what the hype was about this restaurant. The queue here is even longer than ButaO during lunchtime.The moment I saw that there was no queue during brunch-time, i.e. about 11:15 a.m., I seized the opportunity even if it was still office hours! Notwithstanding the rather exotic name of the restaurant, the menu basically consisted of "Chaa Chan Teng" style set meals . For example, spaghetti/macaroni in cream soup (no doubt from Hokkaido) with char siu and fried luncheon meat w

Notwithstanding the rather exotic name of the restaurant, the menu basically consisted of "Chaa Chan Teng" style set meals . For example, spaghetti/macaroni in cream soup (no doubt from Hokkaido) with char siu and fried luncheon meat with buttered toasts and scrambled eggs...etc.
Not too many options were available but the quality appeared high. The type food served here is definitely a rarity in the Admiralty area and could be one reason why it is so popular.
Most set meals were only available after 12:00 n.n. so I ordered the breakfast set with a cup of cold coffee. Just take the drinks at the counter first and then take the number plate with you and take a seat. The waiters will bring you the food. You'll need to obtain the knife and fork at a small kiosk nearby.
After 5 minutes, the macaroni in cream soup with ham came:It smelled pretty nice. The soup was indeed quite creamy but not heavy at all. Two small slices of ham were placed on top with some herbs, I think it was parsley. The macaronis were quite al dente. The portion wasn't large but was just about sufficient for brunch.
Then came the toast and two eggs of your choice (I chose sunny-side up):I used to be quite skeptical about how different the taste of an egg could be and whether it's worth double or triple the price of local non-organic eggs. After comparing different brands of egg, such as some from Hokkaido and some local organic eggs, one could really taste the difference. The high quality egg really tasted more "eggy". The size and the colour of the yoke and white also differs significantly.
The eggs here were pretty good. The egg yoke was good with the slightly toasted bread. The two slices of bread were thick and soft. A slight amount of butter was already smeared on it. It also tasted nice.
Quite a filling brunch afterwards.
This place is only busy during lunchtime. With comfy seat arrangements, light music, and natural light from the large windows, this place is almost an oasis amidst the crowded commercial buildings in Admiralty.
Recommended.
