Originally I went to the Tai Hang branch on Wed evening but surprisingly the cafe was closed, not sure whether they did not open on specific nights or whatever, but then decided to revisit it again during lunch, this time going to the Tin Hau one where I used to live nearby.
The decoration is quite interesting with a lot of color and big signs, basically putting the whole menu on the wall. A typical HK cafe setting, I had a tea set which included a Pineapple Bun, Scrambled Egg and Ham, Home-made Chicken Wings with Spaghetti in Soup. I also had a Pineapple Special Drink.
Frankly the pineapple bun is not particularly good. Yes, it has been toasted slightly so the skin is flaky but if it could be heated a bit to be warm and softer in texture it would be more ideal.The ham and scrambled egg is decent, with the egg supposed to be a signature dish. It is smooth and silky, folded in a few layers but again it is lacking a bit of the extra to make it outstanding.
The spaghetti is fairly good, cooked to the right chewiness, and the chicken wings are marinated and braised well with good flavors.
The pineapple drink is a ripe-off with only a few pieces of pineapple, some syrups and soda, plus a lot of ice. I could easily finish the drink in one suck through the straw. So while it is pretty, it is certainly not worth the price.The bill on the day is $96, with Ivy just taking a macaroni with ham. It is quite expensive in a cafe standard. The services in this branch however are reasonably good however.
My overall rating is 38/100.
