Friends Cafe HK — Restaurant in Singapore

We ate there when it was just opened not long & before it was fiercely n widely advertised on social media, bloggers etc. We ordered hk noodle with luncheon meat, French toast , macaroni and the set was $6.50 each. Price was reasonable, but taste wise and portion was not that flavourful and toast was thin. Didn't had any hk milk tea yet so we ordered honey lemon. And rice wasn't on their menu yet then. As it was just newly start up and the lady boss was friendly n ask for feedback, we give it 2/5. Ar a month ago, it was over crowded with long Qs, over rated publication on social media. Thus, we decide to order for pick up as to give our tastebuds another chance to try. We order 3 sets of rice with pork chop and chicken chop, preserved veg n pork with beehoon, French toast. To be honest, the standard is even worse than previously we ate there. All 4 of us ate the food which isn't yummy, portion little, meat is dry, not flavourful. Didn't took any photos as we were famished though disappointed with the food. Honestly, is over rated. Even bakeholic upon opening, doesn't have that much crowd almost 9 months back. We don't understand why the crazy crowds standing under the hot sun, which some people before opening hours already start queueing, and especially weekends does they felt is worth. Food quality : 1/5 Price : 4/5 Ambience: 3/5 The good thing I feel is it made our neighbourhood which used to be "lonely n quiet" became bustling with crowds these 1 month.

• this is just my personal opinion and as a...

Went last week.

The lady owner is very friendly and nice. Overall taste are too salty and too much garlic. Will return in another 3 months and hope that their quality can live up to the HK ambience. It will be a waste if they cannot improve the food quality and have the consistency. Consistency is important for the survival of any F&B

Will recommend to include milk tea and coffee in your menu. Be more organized.

Queueing time : 3/5. Expect a 20-40min waiting time during peak. I went slightly close to 1pm but still need to wait for a good 25min.

Ambience : 5/5. Like the renovation. Gave you the HK feel but 1/5 for the “closeness” and bearing in mind that we are in a critical period.

Waiting Time: 1/5. the curry fish ball was served first. Then a good 15mins for the 2nd dish and another 20mins for the 3rd dish, satay beef noodle. Apparently, they overlooked the 3rd dish and served other tables who came later than us.

Food Quality: 1/5.

1. Curry Fish Ball - Too much garlic. You can see from the photos that there are a lot of garlic.

2. Chicken Chop rice with onion sauce - Too much garlic in the sauce.

3. Satay Beef noodle - too salty.

4. French toast - The best among the rest.

5. Ovaltine - Taste like Milo.

Service : 2/5. Friendly but in a mess. You had forgetting to serve the toast despite one reminder. We left since it was...

Came here after a random search online for what/where to eat in the area. Parking is easily found either on the street outside the building where the cafe is located or, basement (paid) parking is available. We parked along the street. When we arrived, the store probably just re-opened for the dinner crowd (~6pm?) so, we got seats quickly. One thing I noted about the place was, it was small, deco was similar to what you would find in HK restaurants, there was also Cantonese music playing in the background. One thing missing from what you would definitely encounter in HK is, rude, loud staff. Select your order and make your order+payment at the counter/cashier. Per online reviews, we ordered the curry fishballs, chicken chop noodles and, a peanut butter French toast. Thankful I did not add a beef brisket order. I might throw up eating that much. Total bill came up to S$17.50. Pricey? While there was much rave about the curry fishballs, I found them to be so-so. In fact, maybe a waste of my $ and calories. The chicken chop on its own was salty, best eaten with the noodles. Best take-away I got from here was, the peanut butter French toast. Tasty and well toasted. Another thing I liked about the place? The vibe it gave me. I felt comfortable. Nice for a gathering...
