I like this place for their Laksa and their Kaya toast. Mm…
Laksa… That’s all I could think about on a cold cold day during lunch hour… But be warned, you may feel sleepy after eating it, but it’s so worth it!
The toast was toasty with a slab of butter in the middle and kaya. Mmm…
Their Hainan Chicken was all right, but I have to admit, the rice that came with it tasted so amazing… I felt as if I could rather eat the rice than the chicken itself.
You order up at the cashier and grab your own utensils, but that doesn’t matter to me. All that matters is the fact that the Laksa and their Kaya toast is delicious.

Food (**** out of *****); This was my introduction to kaya, a coconut based spread. The french toast with kaya and coconut was very flavorful and the french toast was properly soaked and pan fried. Many places will not properly soak the bread in milk. this results in a piece of egg stuck to the bread instead of eggs permeating the bread. The shrimp Mee Siam had fresh bouncy shrimp. The flavor was good, but be sure to ask them to go easy on the sugar and give you more of the spicy red sauce with tiny spicy bits in it. It was a bit too sweet and not spicy enough.
The best part is the coffee. They’ll make your coffee just the way you like it. See my pic for the coffee customization order chart. There’s literally a hundred different ways you can have your coffee here. I told them that I wanted my coffee super concentrated and they gave me a cup of coffee that was black as the night and tasted like I was drinking coffee bean sludge, just the way I like it.
Service (*** out of *****); Self service. You get your own utensils, go to the cashier to pay, but they’ll bring your food to your table.
Atmophere (*** out of *****); Simple, clean, cha chang teng.
Conclusion (**** out of *****); The tally is 3 stars, but I’ve bumped up the rating another star for value as their afternoon French kaya toast set is only 32HKD including coffee (kopi), 22 without the kopi, and the Mee Siam lunch set is only 60 HKD. If you like your coffee made in an unusual manner or if you’ve never tried kaya, then you have to come here.
