Mon Kee Cafe — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

This is the first time I visited this Cha Can Tang (cct) chain, and it surprised me. Okay, cct food is all ordinary food, nothing fancy and expensive, but when a cct restaurant put their heart into making their food, it's usually a different story, just like Man Wah, another uprising cct chain.

The atmosphere I would say it's new but not necessarily the most cleaned, but that's kinda expected as it's Hong Kong and it's more towards the lower end of the restaurant spectrum. The food, however, was the part that surprised us. The cream broth of the ham macaroni was legit and tasted so creamy and rich; the tomato broth of the luncheon meat macaroni was even better, also rich and not watery at all, and the luncheon meat was all well fried, yummy; the wheat toast was crispy on the outside and soft inside; above average scrambled eggs; & decent coffees.

Staff are efficient as most HKers do and fairly friendly. For breakfast, it's not so cheap, but for their food quality, i would say it's reasonably priced. We would definitely come back to try their lunch and...

Food is great esp the eggs as most posters had said and the restaurant is actually clean for what it is. Service is so so at best and down right rude by anyone that is not HKers. For HK, I guess being rule in HK Cafe is a given but any foreigners (be it from mainland, japan or US/EU) will find service to be unacceptable as likely being yelled at.

There is a good reason why HK locals going to Japan or Shenzhen or taiwan or even US/EU to shop and eat as normally people is nicer - even compared to hawker places in singapore.

So if you can stand the rudeness, the place is good for its food. Otherwise, I really wish all HK eatery close down until service personnel learn some service manners from Taiwan, shenzhen or Japan. HK already is dead for its financial and real estate sectors. Having such quintessential HK style food with bad service is asking for its tourism to...

Best Chinese Cafe (Cha Chuan Teng) chain in HK. The house specialty is BBQ pork (Cha Siu) in a Japanese egg omelette. For a few dollars more add prawns. The tomato (borsh style) soup with luncheon meat is served with a fried omelette and toast on the side! All lunch and tea sets are served with tea or coffee and are exceptional value. There is also a daily special available which sells out quickly. For tea times (15:00-28:00), cheaper sets are available. My personal favourite is the fried chicken leg which is served with wedge potatoes and a hot drink ($38). The cafe is extremely busy during lunch times with clientele from...
