When I saw this new restaurant in Wan Chai, the name Chomega sounded really familiar, after searching it on Openrice I found out there was a shop at North Point which I walked past and wanted to go in.
The branch at North Point is much smaller, I intended to go but because it was quite small I wasnt sure if there would be any seats when I got there.
Looking at the the green tea dessert from the NP branch photos, it looks as good as the ones served at Japanese dessert houses but unfortunately this dessert and some others were not available here on this visit.
However it was good that they had a notice saying which items were not available.
Anyway, the new branch in Wan Chai is so much different and much more homely, even the toilet is nicely done and encourages people to be environmental.
There are lovely modern stickers on the wall and the windows, and the menu has a down to earth design with handwritten style fonts.
This place specializes in brown rice (Coarse rice in Chinese), hence the name Chomega, a direct pronunciation of coarse rice specialist. As well as the Chinese name the English name has OMEGA in it.
It is good to see that the design of the Chomega logo incorporates the Omega symbol too!
Tried the brown rice with pork in sesame sauce and the croissant with scrambled egg and a choice of two ingredients.
As the food was good I went back another day and tried other dishes.
The second visit I had the fried egg and pork chop and sliced pork in ginger sauce.

Brown rice with pork in sesame sauce
There was generous sesame sauce on the brown rice.
The sesame sauce was really nice because there was some vinegar in it.
I really liked the sauce because it was appetizing and lubricated the coarse brown rice and made it easier to eat.
This dish was quite healthy as there were lots of beanshoots, cabbages and broccoli.

croissant with scrambled egg
For the scrambled eggs you can choose from cheese, mushrooms, onions and sausages.
I chose sausages with mine and the sausages are basically the frankfurter types.

Pork chop with fried egg:
This was the dish I wanted to try at the North point branch.
The Spring onions were nice and tasted like the spring onion sauce at Wing's grilled chicken.
They did not look like they had taste because it just looked like boiled chopped spring onions, but surprisingly they were quite salty.
The pork chop was slightly tough and the fried egg tasted nice with the soy sauce they put on it.

Pork slices with ginger:
The pork slices were extremely tender and the ginger sauce was really strong.
It tastes better than the pork and ginger at Ajisens!!
As well as the delicious ginger sauce, there was a strong grilled taste and delicious sliced onions.

Green tea:
This tastes different from the usual green tea, visually it looks murky and it tastes like a mix of green tea powder and the water from boiled brown rice.
