Cafe de Kowloon was my first exposure to the Hong Kong restaurant craze. It happened over two years ago while I was still working in Tokuii. I believe it was a Friday and on Fridays we usually take a walk to the Sri Hartamas area from our office in Mont Kiara for lunch.
I remember being quite shocked when I browsed the menu at that time. Firstly it wasn't cheap (well when you earn a sub 2k salary everything's expensive to you) and secondly I found it difficult to believe that people would pay six or seven ringgit for a bowl of Nissin Noodles. Of course this no longer shocks me as I routinely see restaurants selling Nissin or Nong-Shim noodles now.
I'm not a really big fan of Hong Kong food (at least not those that they serve in this country) but I really enjoy the sandwiches that this place offers. Oh and I also routinely eat Nissin noodles in restaurants now :) Me and ST were at Cafe de Kowloon last week for some snacks. Besides the food shown here I would recommend you to try the French toast.
This is "yin-yong" which is a mix of tea and coffee. If you watch TVB serials you may have noticed that when characters go to coffee shops most of them order this drink.
I just discovered this very recently. It's boiled Coke and ginger. This is a great drink for those with a cold/flu. It works wonders for clearing up the nasal passage.
Nissin noodles with sausages, egg, ham and luncheon meat. Surprisingly filling.
Company sandwich. Filling includes ham, cheese, eggs tomatoes and lettuce.
Hmmm... I think I'm getting a cold. Would really love some boiled Coke with ginger right now.
