I was on my way to Cheung Sha Wan Plaza to check out a couple of new restaurants there when I unexpectedly stumbled upon a new cha chaan teng across the street. A closer look revealed that it's a name I was familiar with based on my extensive stroll in Mongkok – Crown Cafe (皇冠冰室).
It's a pretty spacious venue for a local tea restaurant, almost as big as Lok Tin (樂天冰室) across the street, which is a firm favorite of mine.
Iced milk tea and instant noodles topped with beef marinated in sacha sauce.
First off, let's check out the milk tea. It was silky smooth, a little strong with tea flavors (which is fine) and not quite enough of condensed milk. I thought that's a pass.
Now, the instant noodles topped with beef marinated in sacha sauce (沙茶牛肉麵).
The noodles weren't bad but the beef was a little on the rough side.
Butter toast, fried egg and sausage. Nothing really to write home about.
So, I guess it's another alternative for me for breakfast but nothing really to get too excited about. I do look forward to their sweet and sour pork rice though. They've got a good one based on my previous experience at their MK outpost.
