It's a typical HK cafe located in New Kennedy Square. The parking lot is massive. There's not a lot of seats inside. I was deciding between hainanese chicken rice and a malaysian curry dish. Ultimately, the tv screen on the wall swayed me to the curry rice. Malaysian curry chicken steak w/ ... rice: The curry was tasty and the chicken was tender. I do wish they gave me a bigger chicken steak though. If I go to Silvery Bay Cafe in Richmond Hill or Cafe Le Majestik in Scarbs, I'm definitely getting more protein in my meal. Also, I do wish the curry came out more piping hot. It was kinda lukewarm when it arrived tbh. Baked pork chop rice w/ cream and tomato sauce: My friend said the pork chop was moist but again, the sauces on top of the rice could've been steaming hot as opposed to lukewarm. The added cheese was a nice touch though. Hokkaido ramen w/ beef and enoki mushroom: I warned my friend not to order ramen at an HK cafe but she refused to listen to me. Anyways, she said this dish was not that great (go figure) but she did say the beef tasted nice and tender. The drinks that are included w/ your meal are on the larger side which is nice (almost makes me wanna add an extra star) but they also aren't mixed that well. Would I return? Prolly not of my own accord. I'm definitely not in a rush to come back and try the other items. In my personal opinion, there are a lot of HK cafes better than this one but it gets a solid pass. Ironically, if it's true that Manna Kitchen and Blue Ocean Cafe have the same owner, I'd be really surprised as Manna Kitchen completely blows this place out of the water. Read more
The cafe was quite packed as my family and I went around 11am. Luckily, at that moment, there was a table available for us so we didn't have to wait. One of the waiters wanted to take our order after we looked at the menu for about 5 minutes but ... we weren't ready yet. When we called over the same waiter a couple of minutes later to take our order, she exaggeratedly said, "It's been half an hour". Later, we noticed she speaks to customers with an attitude so we avoided speaking to her at all costs. On the bright side, we did not have this experience with the other waiters. One of the dishes we ordered was the Hainanese Chicken Rice. This dish is special because this cafe is the only cafe my family has been to that removes all the bones from the chicken. Also, the texture of the chicken is always just right. I have never tasted it overcooked before. In my opinion, the price matches the quality of the dish. Read more
Every visit to my favorite restaurant in the plaza turns into a delightful culinary journey, and it's impossible not to rave about the two dishes that have stolen my heart: the 馬來咖哩豬軟骨飯 (Malaysian Curry Pork Cartilage Rice) and the Ice Milk Tea. Starting with the Ice Milk Tea, it's a masterpiece ... of balance and flavor. The tea aroma is intoxicating, perfectly sweetened, and rich in taste. It's one of those rare finds where you don't need to request less ice because it's just perfect as served. Highly recommend giving this a try - it's a refreshing companion that elevates the meal. Now, the Malaysian Curry Pork Cartilage Rice deserves its own spotlight. It's a dish that masterfully balances flavors without being overly spicy, making it accessible to everyone. The pork cartilage is tender to the point of melting in your mouth, a testament to the care and precision in its preparation. While these two are my go-to choices, the menu is full of other incredible dishes that are equally deserving of praise. Read more
Food's not bad. Good services so far and the waitress was polite which is a pleasant surprise among those Chinese cafe in Markham. 👍 The only thing made this visit 1 star (0.5 star) short is we were expecting that we finally able to taste the Puff Pastry Soup, ... but we were advised they no longer serve this soup.

The food was excellent for the price, wait times were great. We went during their dinner hours on a Sunday and they still had some open seats, food was delivered very quickly.
