Quick service, good and inexpensive food. I was there for breakfast during a recent visit to Hong Kong and enjoyed the set I ordered. Don't worry about the language barrier. If you don't read Chinese or speak Cantonese, their menu has clear photos, and staff do speak some English well.

One of the few places in HK with really intense wok-hey fried rice and 乾炒牛河 at really affordable prices. The French toast is decent too

- set A (macaroni with imitation abalone, ham + corn, two fried eggs, half sausage, danish toast and coffee) $38 - set E (preserved vegetables + pork vermicelli, scrambled eggs, half sausage, condensed milk bun and milk tea) $38 very wide menu, quick service and clean restaurant with clean toilets! food was nothing outstanding but met expectations and a good portion for the price! coffee was a bit too weak for me but very creamy nevertheless. overall, i would return!

Portion sizes are decent and the food quality is not bad. Prices are a little higher, but it is reasonable if you treat it as a mid-range casual dining establishment. This is not a formal restaurant, and neither is it a cheap hole-in-a-wall grab-and-go type of eatery. When we were there, almost every table ordered something different... Which likely means the food quality or the daily specials are equally palatable. I see people from other tables ordering the usual cha chaan taeng scrambled eggs and toast, instant noodles and char siew, steamed pork patty (served with rice), spaghetti with chicken chop, stir-fry dry hor fun. There were quite a number of tables having the "Malaysian curry" pork chop (or the chicken version). I ordered the curry pork cutlet, which turned out to be really quite pleasant. The star of this dish is that hefty portion of pork chop, nicely breaded and browned. Having been (quite) disappointed with the pork chop buns in Macau, I would love to have ordered this and eaten it sandwiched between 2 slices of bread. Not cheap, of course, but so worth it! To digress a little, the name "Malaysian curry" is a useless moniker because curry has moved on beyond borders and it would be more helpful labelling it by ethnicity rather than country. This particular style of curry is a migrant Chinese variation of the Malay wet curry, commonly found in Singapore, Johor, and Kuala Lumpur. There is generally more milk used (coconut and evaporated), usually less spicy (chilli), and contains more potatoes.

Typical cha chaan teng in TST/Hong Kong. Many sets available including specials for breakfast and afternoon tea. We came for dinner and ordered the dinner set menu and some additional items. The booking system was quite frustrating as there is not embedded English version on the booking site (via QR code) so the Chinese and English didn't align. The waitress ended up taking our order which was nice. The highlight was the french toast, steamed pomfret fish and we also enjoyed the soup which was part of the dinner set. Chicken was overcooked which was disappointing but everything else was good quality. Fast service, newer restaurant and card facility also available which is good for tourists. Would recommend

I enjoyed their fish fillet because it was really hot and crispy. Ordered their breakfast set and it was really filling. It goes well with a cup of hot milk tea. Overall good experience, place is also family friendly.
