As a HK-born Singaporean, I love it when there's good HK food to be found here. Kim Gary's one of those places that gives you good-enough HK-fare, although one can hardly call it authentic - other than the fact that you can speak canto in the restaurant and be understood.My girlfriends and I had dinner there cos its affordable and well, HK-gals would rather naturally choose it.

My girlfriends and I had dinner there cos its affordable and well, HK-gals would rather naturally choose it.
My fave is the Red Bean Ice - their red beans are really well cooked, sweet and flavourful, and cooked to a softness that's easily tasted with the straw, yet not like sand. The milk they use also goes well with it.
My food was a bowl of Shanghai-style (see, what hk-style? haha) Vegetable Rice with Fish. The veggies (leafy veggies and a piece of broccoli) were cooked just nice, and the rice was ok. The fish was fine too. Average stuff lah. A little small for the price though. It's enough to just nice fill you up, but nothing to rave about. Although it's freshness was good.
The girls had humongous bowls of korean-style noodles that fascinated us with just the size. The bowls were huge! The noodles looked good and had lots of beansprouts - good for those who like their veggies.
The atmosphere there is comfortable, with the staff appearing to clear your dishes at just the right time, and being general unobtrusive. However, getting them to fetch the bill is a 3-gal exercise. 3 hands raised for almost half a minute. Busy day I suppose.
The best part about this Kim Gary is the 1-for-1 promotion after 9.30. If I ever need a late dinner, I'll probably be back again. Good enough food in a nice atmosphere at good enough prices. Ok la.
