Kooper — Restaurant in Ōrākei

Genuine Hong Kong Tea Canteeen (cha chaan teng)

We drove past this place on our way to New World and decided to grab dinner on our way home. A popular HK dish which you will find in 'tea canteen/eatery' is the Baked rice or Spaghetti. I don't believe its on the google menu but there was a poster offering it outside the shop. I'm so glad that they offered this as I hadn't it in such a long time! They had ran out of the Pork Chop so we got the Chicken Creamy white sauce and Tomato sauce Baked rice ( more a tomato sweet/ tangy sauce). The chicken was succulent- juicy and the tomatoes and pineapple gave it that freshness. We also got a HK milk tea to go with it. Takeaway portion size was good too as per photo. Will definitely come back and try the desserts as it sounds like they offer heaps more then what was available ( Black sesame soup, turnip cake etc), Go support local and try...

Walking down Remuera Road and made an unplanned stop of Kooper- very glad that we did! The owners were so welcoming and friendly, and gave us their recommendations of dishes to order. We ended up ordering the crunchy chicken- which was so crispy and moist- and one of the dishes recommended by the owner- a flavoursome noodle dish in a creamy soup which the owner told us was a fusion dish. The owners were even kind enough to chuck in extra complementary chicken and drinks. Overall, food was very tasty, service was excellent and my friend and I will be returning again! Thank you to the staff...

Sorry I have to say the rice is not fresh, meaning it was spoiled and tasted like mold… I had stomachache after having this rice and I am still a bit unwell at the moment. I don’t know how long the cooked rice was kept in the kitchen? Probably it’s because the weather is hot now, you guys really need to maintain the freshness of your meal. I will see whether I would get any further symptom or not.

The service is quite good, and they are quite friendly. I give two stars because the service is good, otherwise I would get 0 star because of the potential food...
