One of the new HK cafe in this area, replacing previously a japanese restaurant. I'll start off my review with the bill first. crackers (FOC), Fried XO Carrot cake ($7.90), 1 traditional Set with half boiled egg/hot teh/kaya toast ($4.50), Strawberry mash ($4.90), seafood soup set with xue ge ($12.90), finally top up another 10% svc and 7% gst to those prices. my total bill was $35.55 for 2 pax.

The interior is pretty simple, high ceiling, counter based ordering for takeaway customer and table ordering for dine in. a few lcd tvs lined up above the counter, much alike fast food restaurants. Staff are very lively though and repeats that if you need anything just raise your hand, they do not irritate diners by waiting at the side, I like that. The waitress couldn't tell me what strawberry mash was and it turned out to be strawberry syrup added to fizz drinks and sour plum added. It was pretty nice actually but a tad too expensive IMO. i was recommended to try the special seafood soup and xue ge promotion. It turned out to be a lot like ci char stall seafood soup but the soup was nice and sweet though, ingredients you get fish ball, some sotong, prawns and lean meat. The prawn tasted a bit "un-fresh" though which I feedback to the staff, they wanted to change a new bowl for me actually but I did not want to, its good they took the feedback positively. The xue ge was a little disappointing though, its probably mock hashima and not the real stuff, tastes more like normal cheng teng actually. The carrot cake had luncheon meat in it and also pork floss and some dried shrimps i think, quite a nice eat but i hope it can be less oily. The traditional set is very average and the milk tea did not delight with the cup a little dirty on the edges.
Certainly hope this place can take the review nicely and up its standard, competition is tough there especially with the prata joint pitstop just next door giving it a run for his money. Also one more thing the staff should note is to offer condiments or suitable utensils based on clients order. I had to ask for side plates and condiments on my own.
