Went here because it was quite empty.

The menu is different to the Kowloon Tong branch.

There are soups and more filling items.
Ordered the seafood and red bean soup which was really tasty and loaded with lots of seafood.

For bites I had the tortilla wrap filled with delicious creamy avocado, cream cheese and salmon.
It turned out really nice because the tortilla was thin and crispy.

Finished with a coconut gelato smoothie which was really creamy with real pieces of coconut.

Putien was full so went here instead.

The menu was intriguing as it claims to be THE MOST POPULAR MENU!

The crispy roast pork belly was indeed crispy but the pork was a bit too dry.

As for the taste it was not to salty.
 0 讚好

The roast pork was soft and strange.

The beef cubes labelled as beef cubes with garlic slices on the menu turned out to be beef and mushroom which tasted quite sweet due to the oyster sauce.

The salt and pepper tofu was unique and different to other restaurants because you could only taste white pepper.

Discovered this at Popwalk so decided to try it.
There is a branch in Tst which I tried decades ago.
Ordered the soba noodles with genmaicha.
The tea was sweet which was weird.
Then came the soba noodles which was not what I was expecting because it was chewy and al dente just like Hunan rice noodles.

Previously dined here during the weekends and public holidays when they are busy and rushed.

The food quality on the weekdays is better.

Ordering a la carte is advised because the set meals are not worth it.

The okra dish had a strong black bean taste but the okra was not tender.

The fish was silky but somehow it tasted like petrol.

The green tea layered cake didn't taste of green tea but it had a strong coconut taste.

It was slightly oily.

The portion for the Peking duck was surprisingly big because you get at least 20 pancakes, two plates of duck meat but the duck meat was a bit dry for my liking.

The pancakes were a little bit different because it contained sesame.

I was back for the beef sandwich but the menu has changed so had something else instead.

Started with the heirloom tomato and cheese salad which was appetizing, there was green, yellow, red and purple tomatoes.

The buffalo wings are a must because they are punchy served with moreish blue cheese sauce.

The pulled pork burger was a bit different to the ones I have had because it lacked smoky bbq sauce but then I added the sauce from the wings which made up for it.


The staff are friendly and the restaurant is spacious.

Now they are located in CWB.

Tried the squid burger in a squid ink bun which was quite good except the sauce because it was honey mustard which was too sweet.

I was quite annoyed that the set was compulsory because I don't eat the potato wedges and the drinks options are crap.

I wish they served their famous soup.

As well as delicious and healthy food, they serve Happy Cow icecream.

I had the cherry and almond which had delicious pieces of cherry in it with a strong almond flavour.
Here was the food that we had:

Deliciously steamed beancurd rolls in black bean sauce which I found a bit too sweet otherwise it was fantastic.

The omelette which is egg free is made of beancurd held together by beanshoots.

The steamed rice noodles were filling and topped with delicious pickled vegetables and minced soya.

Finished with chayote soup which was sweet and nourishing.
