This is a casual Asian restaurant located on Fraser Street in the Punjabi Market. Their menu consists primarily of Hong Kong style dishes, which are sort of a fusion between Asian and Western food. I had their Baked Curry Beef Brisket Thick Toast and Baked Pork Chop with Tomato Sauce on Rice, and thoroughly enjoyed both dishes. Their prices are also very cheap. I did find their service to be a bit lacking unfortunately (which is typical of most Asian restaurants); and it definitely helps if you can speak Cantonese as that's the language that the staff primarily uses. The good food and prices more than make up for the lackluster service however, and I'd highly recommend checking this place out if you enjoy HK cuisine. This is cash only, so be sure to have some bills on you.
Baked Curry Beef Brisket Thick Toast ($9.95):
4/5
This consisted of a small loaf of toast that's filled with beef curry. The toast was of the Asian-style milk toast variety, and was very fluffy and had a wonderful chewiness. The curry was also very flavourful and savoury, with several large pieces of tender beef and potatoes. I did find a few of the potato pieces to be a tad undercooked.
Baked Pork Chop with Tomato Sauce on Rice ($10.25):
4/5
The pork chop had a lightly crunchy coating, and was quite meaty and tender. While I'm generally not the biggest fan of tomato sauce, I actually quite enjoyed the version here; it was quite thick and not overly tangy. The portion size isn't very large, but their prices are quite cheap, making it a very reasonable deal.
Summary:
Food: 4/5

Dining With A Dragon And The Phoneix
+4.5
I keep forgetting to take pictures as it looked so good and I was too hungry to remember. We decided to go to my favouriate Hong Kong Style Cafe on Fraser Street in Vancouver. Haven't seen the bald guy who used to take care of the til. He was mean looking to some but over the years he was really a nice guy. Hope he just found another job.They are best known for their curry chicken or brisket with rice. It's the best as it's red curry and it's very authentic Chinese Malaysian. Hainese Chicken and Roti also very good. But today we arrived at 1125am so I had breakfast order by 1130am of Chicken Steak with 2 eggs and choice of toast or French toast and a hot drink for $8.75?! Chicken steak is done right, boneless fried to perfection. Two eggs a lot for me as very filling. French toast was half a order with kaya jam in between the layers of the toast. I'm more on the peanut butter team but I still like it. And I had a free drink of choice, I had the Ovaltine .Dragon and Phoenix had the Stir fried Rice Noodle with chicken and mushrooms. They did use canned mushroom but it had "wok-flavour". They also shared the Half coffee and half tea drink. I'm not in love with this drink but I know their Hong Kong style tea is excellent. The bill with tip came up to $20.00 that fed 3 people. A tip free parking in the parking lots in the back! Service is always nice. They though we ordered two breakfast but when we said that was the wrong order and they took it away without a fuss.
