    Just by looking at the queue outside this shop, one cannot deny the fact that it can be considered as one of the most popular resturant in vivo city. Luckily i was early that day so i only need to wait for 15 mins before i am welcomed into the shop.

    Recently there are quite a few hongkong cafes springing into singapore and i should considered this as one of them. The arrangement of this restuarant can be considered as rather packed. Take for example, the person who is sit next to me has only the amount of space to place her two laptop bags.

    As for their menu, they mainly sell stuff that are commonly found in the rest of the hong kong style cafe. For example, will be those popular toast and 'maggie mee'. After looking through the menu, i decided to order the macua pork bun and pork chop baked rice.

    For the baked rice, one can request for a corn sauce or a tomato sauce. This is find it rather special as most of the time one is not allow to choose anything at all.

    The baked rice arrived quite fast after i have ordered them and to my surprise, it comes in the form of bamboo container (like those container that stored dim sum). A rather interesting way to keep the food, i guess.

    I simply loved their pork chop baked rice. First is the cheese that was spreaded across the entire top geneously. Hidden below are large pieces of pork chop, which are real soft and fragrant.

    Their macua pork chop bun was equally nice, although same type of pork chop was being used.

      Yet another Hong Kong Cuisine Restaurant, just a little better

      Dining out with a group of friends means I can sample many dishes and take many pictures.

      But before that, some general thoughts on the quality of food, service and ambience.

      Quality of Food I would say slightly better, since each item does come in larger portions and the presentation is better thought out, compared to other restaurants serving the same fare. Though I don't really understand why the long queue. Taste-wise is pretty much like the standard Hong Kong fare of baked rice, overpriced instant noodles, Hong Kong-styled western food and extra thick toast. Brownie points for using hot plates to serve their western food and bamboo steamer baskets for baked rice.

      Service The thing about being there with a group of friends is that we find humour in any possible manner. It was quite amusing that the waitress taking our order got confused. But being a helpful bunch, we always pro-actively help to clarify any confusion. I think they are improving though. My friend had ordered the some baked rice with "twin sauce" but the meat in it tasted stale. After informing the waitress, the manager came by to explain the taste meant to be that way, but gladly cancelled that order from the bill since he didn't like it.

      Ambience Noisy, much like those Hong Kong restaurants seen on TV. Great for a lively crowd, no volume restriction. Rather cramped though, but it's really the same anywhere else.

      And now, pictures of the food my friends and I ordered.

      Almond Tea and Longan Aloe Vera Nice fragrant Almond Tea. Longan Aloe Vera Drink was enjoyable as well.

      Korean Noodle with Fried Egg My friend didn't like this one. It is once again the instant noodle shock.

      Roasted Spare Ribs with Honey Glaze Pretty good as well, but the meat doesn't come off the bone like good ribs should.

      Pork Chop Cutlet with Red Sauce Baked Rice Comes in red or white. Red one is tomato based and has a sweetness from tomatoes. White one is very rich in cheese and butter. Comes with fish or chicken or maybe something else as well.

      Herb Lamb Chop with Garlic Sauce That lamb taste is very strong in this one and the cuts are very fatty with chunks of bone. Pretty challenging to deal with. Had to resort to using hands to eat it cleanly.
