Now this should wake me up. Having the freaking expensive Iced Milk Tea in a typical plastic jug fashion for $3 at an open-concept Cantonese cafe called Streets located in middle of the first floor of IMM on a Monday.That’s about the only decent item at this restaurant with dirty yellow cushion sofas, black pillars with chinese words and antique Chinese lights out of all the other dishes we had.For starters we had the Hong Kong Fried Carrot Cake With XO Sauce (which was a chef recommendation and
That’s about the only decent item at this restaurant with dirty yellow cushion sofas, black pillars with chinese words and antique Chinese lights out of all the other dishes we had.
For starters we had the Hong Kong Fried Carrot Cake With XO Sauce (which was a chef recommendation and yet we had to take it upon ourselves to request for more XO sauce because there was barely any, and tofu was way too dry) and for the main course we had the Sliced Beef Stone Rice (a wannabe Bibimbap that destroyed the Korean dish's signature taste with the addition of green peppers and black fungus) and Chicken Salted Fish with Chinese Sausage Claypot Rice ($6.80).
Service was bearable with staff was not very well-versed with the food. You order by writing the items on a form in typical Hong Kong cafe style. Actually, now that I've come to think of it, I didn't need that Ice Milk Tea to wake me up (which I normally require for digestion because I tend to have a heavy lunch) because I didn’t finish anything (well if you don’t count the drinks). If it wasn't because of the lack of queue during office lunch hours compared to other places like Swensen's and Pepper Lunch located very near it (and now I know the reason behind why this is so), I wouldn't have checked out this place in the first. Now that I did, I'll rather go to Coffee Club which was constructed to seem like an extension of this place, but boy, does the food taste a ton better. And nope, they don't have a crazy lunch queue either.
