Hong Kong Day. Cha Kee — Eatery with loaded bolo buns, satay beef macaroni & peanut butter French toast

Hong Kong Day. Cha Kee is an eatery opened by a pair of Hong Kong siblings that’s situated at 165 Thomson Road proper subsequent to United Square. With a color palette of inexperienced and purple, the restaurant stands out from the ocean of different institutions.

The inside is equally charming with vintage-looking tiles and wood banquettes. It provides you the impression that you just’ve teleported to Hong Kong for a short time.

The very first thing that arrived at our desk was the Peanut Butter French Toast (S$4.50). The pleasant mini French toasts regarded like mini golden ‘cushions’ of bread stacked up on a pool of wealthy honey. There was additionally an expensive slab of butter on high.

I plunged my fork into one of many items and closed my eyes momentarily as I plunged into French toast euphoria.

The bread was encased in a flawless layer of golden-brown caramelised egg batter and the candy honey that coated it made the mixture tremendous satisfying. You’re then greeted by a nutty and crunchy peanut butter filling which sealed the deal for me.

We then moved on to the Noodles Set (S$8.80). Here, you’ll get a noodle of your selection (Nissin noodles, macaroni, vermicelli and spaghetti) in addition to 2 toppings, and it’s served with scrambled egg and butter toast.

We selected the macaroni and added fried egg and satay beef (+S$2).

According to my colleague, Ansel, satay meat is outwardly a factor in Hong Kong. Silly previous me thought that the eatery tried to fuse Singapore’s satay with their dish to swimsuit our native style buds.

Upon taking my first mouthful of macaroni, the satay beef didn’t resemble something like our localised dish. Instead, it was aromatic with a mix of spices which paired very well with the faintly natural broth.

We additionally needed to order the Bolo Bun with Pork Chop (S$6.80) however sadly it wasn’t accessible. So as an alternative, we tried the Bolo Bun with Butter (S$2.50). The butter was creamy however we felt that the bun was a bit of dry and underwhelming.

For drinks, we obtained the chilly HK Style Milk Tea (S$4). It was served in a cute bottle which resembled old-school gentle drinks. It wasn’t so candy and the tea was intense— actually good things!

There are additionally different drinks like Yuzu Honey Soda (S$4.50) and Iced Lemon Ribena (S$4.50).
