It's been a while since there were breaking news about our neighbourhood's dining scene that got me and my neighbours ecstatic. Right before Christmas, we witnessed a vacant site on Cheung Sha Wan Road starting construction work with a sign that said "Milk Cafe (牛奶冰室)". That got us all excited. Now just after I returned from Taipei, I was told that it has soft-opened over the weekend. Very nice news indeed as this neighbourhood could really use another bing sutt (冰室) or two.
A true test for any bing sutt, their iced milk tea. This was OK. There was obviously very milky but I won't mind stronger tea flavors too.
I was curious about their deep-fried fish fillet set, which was served with runny scrambled eggs, garlic toast and sweet corn.
I really liked the crispy batter but the fish fillet itself was missing that perfectly flaky texture. The garlic butter on the toast and paprika powder on the sweet corn were also a bit over the top. Yes, they were both reasonably tasty but a little heavy for breakfast.
Well, this place deserves a second chance simply because there aren't much options other than the fast-food chains around.
