My must haves?

1.  Indeed, get the BEST pineapple buns here in Vancouver/Richmond.  These babies are always served fresh out of the oven where the top is crumbly and crispy and the inside is soft and pillowy.  If you feel indulgent, ask for the…More »

PARKING IS HORRENDOUS, but I'm willing to search for a spot because the food is solid for an HK cafe and the service is good...and dare I say sometimes above good? It's worth the parking hassle for me to eat in a clean environment, food you cannot go…More »

Is it just me or are the people who work here just plain mean?  To be fair, I have heard from the older Cantonese generation that that's just how HK Cafe service is in the motherland.  [But we're not in the motherland anymore....]

If you love a great deal and don't mind an MSG buzz after a meal (hey, everyone gets their kicks differently), this is your kind of place.  I actually know people who enjoy coming here which is why I've been to Honolulu at least two times. I can't…More »

As expected, most Chinese cafes serve decent fare at reasonable prices.  I had a western combination plate for less than $5 (two eggs over easy, 3 slices of bacon, a freshly baked bun and hot milk tea).  With so many other Chinese cafes to choose…More »

Ready, set, go and get your slurp on!  Slurping noodles is considered evidence of enjoying the meal in Japanese culture, but if you're like me and shy, do a mini slurp.
