Hong Kong Kim Gary Restaurant

Kim Gary at Vivocity where we lunched seems more of a Cafe with pricing of a restaurant. Yes, prices on the menu were definitely steeper than what you pay in many Hong Kong Tea Cafes where GST & service charges were mostly waived.

And it may pinch you thinking you could pay for the same food in Ringgit Malaysia just across the border where Kim Gary had 10 branches on.

Nevertheless, diners still packed the cafe for its standard fare.

French Toast ($2.80++)

This utterly sinful dish of toast that was spread richly in peanut butter and butter before it was dipped in beaten eggs and fried to golden brown. Not forgetting the topping of melting butter and generous drizzle of maple syrup on the succulent toast.

Slickly sweet and moist from the oil, butter and honey, it serves a better purpose as a dessert to me.

French Fries in Seaweed Flavor ($3.60++)

The chunky fries was an average fare with a hefty price tag you could do without. A big bag of good Farmland fries from the Supermart would cost you the equivalent amount :)

Hong Kong Style Cheese Baked Rice ($10.90++)

This was a value for money lunch set that comes with little cupful of Cream Soup & hot Yin Yang drink. Our Pork Chop Cheese Baked Rice in red sauce that has strong tinge of tomatoes was indeed appetizing.

The aluminum foil 'locked' all moisture and flavor within this rice dish. Yummy.

Spicy Noodles with Pork Chop in 'Typhoon Shelter' Style ($9.50++)

Noodle lunch set that comes with my selection of Almond Tea was not real impressive though i saw many ladies ordering this chow.

It was simply La Mian in mild spicy broth. The novelty of having finely chopped garlic bits deep fried to golden brown atop the pork chop was noteworthy though, as it does enhance the flavor of the broth.

Its drink of Almond Tea prepared from almond powder that leaves a thin residue on its cup's bottom was disappointing. And mum had cited that the milky hint accompanied the drink was intolerable.

Overall, food was not that bad here, it just depend on your orders. Being our first visit here, we had spend half-an-hour reading its extensive menu and doing our ordering :)
