The Peak HK Teahouse

This is a review of a solo lunch at The Peak HK Teahouse in Plaza 8.
I needed a relatively quick lunch and remembered this place tucked away on the second floor of Plaza 8. No one ever mentions it or suggests having lunch there so I decided to give it a try.
The ambiance is very basic and functionall. It is pretty much just tables and chairs with few other accents to the décor. There are absolutely no frills here.
The system is pretty simple. You sit at a the table. You check out the menu. Then, you mark your selections (by number) on the provided order form and take it to the counter. You pay and then return to your seat to await the delivery of your food.
There really isn’t much to speak of in the service department. There seemed to be a pretty laid back attitude with the staff. But, they were friendly and responsive.
It did not take very long for my food to come out.
Cheesy Baked Rice with Curry Chicken — This was marked on their menu as one of their most popular dishes. It was served piping hot. It was a dish of cheesy goodness. I could eat this every day. The curry part had an ever so slight kick. I wouldn’t mind it if this was turned up a notch. But hey there was rice, tender chicken, and lots of cheese; that makes for a pretty darn good lunch.
Lemon honey tea — This was also marked on the menu as being popular. As a southern boy, I love iced tea. This was average. There wasn’t anything to set it apart. But, it was good enough to wash down my lunch with.
Receipt ($ 12.70)
Overall — Basic ambiance and basic service get topped off by a pretty tasty lunch. I know someone is going to go «12 DOLLARS — I could have gotten that at hawker centre X for 3 bucks». Well, I wasn’t at hawker centre X and I didn’t feel bad about spending 12 bucks for my lunch at THE Peak HK Teahouse. I will be back.
