Jacky's Cafe 粥粉麵飯 — Restaurant in Halifax

What do you do when the conference food is not really your thing and you are hungry before the gala which won’t start until a few hours later? You RUN to Jacky’s to get that craving satisfied.

Very delighted to find a place filled with so much love and good food that brings me “home”. We don’t even have anything comparable here in London, Ontario despite the probably bigger HongKonger population 😭

Too many things we wanted to try so we asked the server to help me pick. I ended up deciding on the beef noodle and the cold Hong Kong milk tea topped with the cutest milk tea bear. Both are prepared perfectly and hit the spot just right.

I wish I have the “room” to try the turnip cakes, the baked rice and everything else on the menu, but with a gala in a few hours I can’t!

Ended up buying a pineapple bun for breakfast the next day and I hope I will be back again some day to try the rest.

Prices is very fair considering where it is located and well worth it for the quality of food served.

Don’t miss...

If you are a fan of HK style cafe, this cafe is a "must visit."

I have a bowl of beef brisket noodle, a pan fried white carrot cake and a cup of HK style milk tea.

In the case of the beef brisket noodle, the owner is so attentive that two options are available, namely, meat portion or tendon portion. I choose the latter. The brisket is so soft that an elderly will not find it difficult to chew. The alkaline taste of the noodle is absent so that you need not use red vinegar. The soup is so tasty that you are tempted to finish all of it. It seems that MSG is not used. (I am MSG sensitive).

The pan fried white carrot cake is skillfully fried. The surface is crispy. The ingredients show the chef's generosity and seriousness.

The HK style milk tea is silky and not too sweet.

A visit to this cafe is a delightful experience.

The sunroom is sufficient and particularly...

I'd never been to Jacky's before, so what a pleasant surprise to find a new place to eat! The food was good overall, but my favourite is their fried pork dumplings! They're so tasty I barely contained myself eating them!

Since it was Saturday, I enjoyed a sticky rice log, which contains some interesting textures and flavours. Very enjoyable with their chilli sauce!.

Their braided beef stew was nice, though a little tougher. That's okay, they did a far better job with that beef than I ever could!

The service was awesome as well, and the folks are happy to converse while they work. That's kind of them and I felt very at home! The place is cute and easier to find than I expected. That's big for me with my visual impairment!

Watch out for outside, you have to go around some...wood? That's the building getting updated I guess, not Jacky's doing. I recommend going,...
