one of the best HK-style cafés around. I love the beef brisket curry. so much flavor. highly recommend if you're able to make their tight opening hours!
This little cha chaan teng is located on the ground level of a well-known supermarket. I’ve passed by it countless times over the years but never actually stepped in. Recently, I finally paused to read the menu posted outside and realized they offer a very affordable breakfast set, which convinced me to give it a try. The interior is aged and simple, with no modern renovation or fancy decoration. It feels very much like a traditional neighborhood cha chaan teng — practical, straightforward, and focused on function rather than style. The breakfast choices are limited, just like many classic cha chaan teng menus, but the prices are quite reasonable, especially in today’s market. We ordered a corned beef and egg sandwich and an egg and luncheon meat macaroni soup, both served with Hong Kong–style milk tea. The portion sizes were not particularly generous, but considering the pricing, it felt fair. The flavors were simple and familiar — nothing extraordinary, yet deeply nostalgic. It truly brings back memories of dining at small cha chaan tengs in Hong Kong. One of the biggest highlights, however, is not the food — it’s the owner and staff. They are extremely friendly and chatty, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. You can tell there are many regular customers, and it’s clear that some have been visiting for years. The owner and staff even remember their favorite dishes, which says a lot about the strong sense of community this place has built. Overall, it’s not a place you visit for gourmet food, but rather for comfort, familiarity, and human connection. I’ll definitely drop by again next time I’m in the area doing groceries.
We’ve heard about Paul’s Kitchen for a long time. Every time I shop at Superstore, I walk past it, but unfortunately their hours are quite limited and they’re often already closed by the time I get there. With the recent hype around pork patty rice, I finally took time off work to give it a proper try. I ordered the pan-fried preserved vegetable pork patty rice with two sunny-side-up eggs. As soon as it arrived, the aroma was incredible. One bite in, the outside of the patty was nicely seared while the inside remained juicy and full of flavour. Combined with the runny egg yolk and their special soy-based sauce, every bite was literally a taste bud bomb. Service was friendly and efficient, and the food came out quickly. One thing worth noting: this place is cash only, so make sure to come prepared. Definitely worth the effort — I’ll be back.
