Ordered BBQ Pork Buns, Portugese Egg Tarts and Pearl Milk Tea. All were delicious. Tastes authentic like you're in Hong Kong. No parking though. Place is a little bit small, sits about 10 people but with AC. Staff is super friendly, unlike cafes in Hong Kong (lol). Highly recommended and will definitely come back.
It would be easy to look past the exorbitant pricing (lampas PHP 300 for noodles + spam + fishballs) if the service wasn’t so terrible. Waitress got my order wrong despite me confirming that I wanted something else and when I politely confronted her upon receiving my order, she laughed at me and did not even apologize or at least clarify. She even tried gaslighting me saying that I pointed to the menu when I ordered from outside and even if I did point (which I didn’t), she wouldn’t have seen what I ordered unless she listened to me.

My order took so long to be served, the restaurant was too hot that you can smell the oil burning inside, the pork burger ordered was too hard to chew and overcooked. The meal I had was too overpriced as well. I could’ve just went to a more decent restaurant with that price with reasonable and more delectable options for Hongkong dishes. Don’t get me wrong, but I’ve been to HongKong several times already and their food in this restaurant is not even close to the dishes I had in HK. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone 🙁
