Review:

This is one of my favourite restaurants in Hong Kong. Reasons are: 1) it is quite close to my junior school and junior high school (they are basically the same school), so I came here a lot; 2) I hung out in Jordan as a teenager, so I came here a lot; 3) it is a nice place to go to when you want to eat something but are not really hungry; 4) their scrambled eggs and toasts are the best in the world; 5) they basically only have three choices for you all year round so we do not have to think till our heads explode before we can order. I could have listed more reasons but I don't want to bore you with that, so let's move on to their set meals.

When I said they basically only have three choices, I did not mean they only have three dishes for you to choose from. What I meant is that they only have three different set meals: "Breakfast Set" ($24), "Tea Set" ($28) and "Quick Set" ($24). The "Breakfast Set" is provided from 7:30am to 12 noon, including macaroni or spaghetti with beef or shredded ham in soup, fried or scrambled eggs, toast or bread with butter, and coffee or tea (plus $2 for cold drinks). The "Tea Set" is provided from 12noon to 10:30pm, including macaroni or spaghetti with beef or ham or Chinese roasted pork(Cha-Siu) in soup, fried or scrambled eggs with two pieces of ham, toast or bread with butter, and coffee or tea (plus $2 for cold drinks). Finally, the "Quick Set" is provided all day during their opening hour, from 7:30am to 11pm. When it is called the "Quick Set", it does not necessarily mean it comes quicker (all sets come quick as a flash anyway), or that you have to eat it quicker (they always want you to eat quicker anyway), it is just a common name used for set meals that are provided all day long in Hong Kong. The "Quick Set" includes fried or scrambled eggs, toast or bread with butter, and hot or cold milk (plus $2 for coffee or tea).

Should you order any of these sets, I would suggest ordering scrambled eggs, macaroni, toast and milk tea. If you do not want to order any of the sets, you can also order some of their famous desserts like cold or hot Steamed Milk or Steamed Eggs (both $17). In my opinion their Steamed Milk is better than their Steamed Eggs, but you can try both.

The restaurant is extremely popular among local people, and is very busy at its peak hours, which is from 7:30am to 12noon, and 3pm to 4pm. So go at other times if you want to avoid the crowd and queues. By the way, do not be scared by the number of waiters in the restaurants. There are many of them in order to cope with the large amount of customers per day. Also, it is not likely that they could speak English, so do not expect the waiters to be very friendly to foreigners (most of the time they are not friendly even to local people anyway). If you find them nice and friendly, it is most likely that their boss is there, or that they are really curious about having foreign customers -- either way you should consider yourself very lucky. Besides, they do not have English menus, so check the yellow menu on the table, under the glass, and point to the set menu you want (I have included that menu in the photos, check it out). Or you can also look around and point to the food that other people ordered. It might be quite troublesome but I can assure you that the food is really good.
