Warmly welcomed by friendly and attentive staff, we were led into a comfortable yet artistically rustic dining area.
Unlike many popular HK style cafes, a very clean set of cutlery has already been laid out neatly for us :).

Highly recommended by Cha Kee, we ordered the Stir-fried Beef & Enoki Ho-Fun in Shacha Sauce (a savoury and slightly spicy satay sauce) ($12.9). Perfectly stir-fried with deliciously savoury and tingly sauce, I thoroughly enjoyed the Ho-Fun (an Asian type of fettuccine made with rice). However, the beef felt a little rubbery and I could taste the corn flour on it.
We also tried the Baked Pork Chop with fried rice ($12.90). It's traditionally accompanied with tomato sauce but Cha Kee ran out of tomato sauce - I found this a little amusing as Cha Kee is conveniently located next to Woolworths. Luckily, the baked dishes here came with customisable sauces, so we substituted it with the Mushroom Sauce instead. The seamless combination of thickly sliced mushrooms, together with succulent and tender porkchops, smothered in a rich, creamy, mushroom sauce left me craving for more.
Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the fried snacks. The batter on the Fried Oysters ($8.9) and Diced Salty Crispy Chicken ($6.9) was extremely thick and hard (i.e. not light and crunchy). Not to mention that the batter was so bland that the accompanying salt didn't help much. In its defence, the chicken was quite supple and juicy.

Verdict:
Stick with the mains and avoid the snacks.
