We felt like some Special Fried Rice in the middle of the afternoon so here we are. Decent prices and a very generous size for a takeaway. Fragrant and fluffy rice fried rice combined with the Crispy Pork was a perfect combination!

Satay Chicken, Pork & Century Egg Congee. Satay chicken, the sauce was spicy and salty. Some parts of the dish was more saltier. Chicken was very tender, and soft. The whole broccoli was used, including the stem, and not cut into smaller pieces. The congee was a bit thin, had too much water for me. Tea is served on request. Staff are very quick and attentive to take the order, the food came out quickly, and hot. Was very busy on a Sunday night, and not too noisy inside for a casual restaurant.

Update: Back again. Ordered: Chinese Broccoli- small serve of seasonal vegetable with oyster sauce - still good value (now $9) Combination Meat and Veg on Crispy Noodles ($18) - tasty with enough gravy to soak and soften the noodles. Still generous with their toppings. Old school beef tenderised with bicarbonate. All beef, pork, chicken and squid pieces were tender. Seafood Combination Rice Noodles ($22.50) with Egg Gravy ($3) - did not realise that this was an off menu item as we ordered it at the last visit but without the Egg Gravy. They were happy to accommodate and indicated that they’ll charge extra for the egg gravy. The amount of gravy was not enough for the amount of noodles and it was a a touch under-seasoned. The “wok char” notes were barely there today. Toppings were also generous here and the seafood was cooked well. Service was again prompt and friendly. Tea is complimentary. This is a very basic place that serves cheap but decent food. “Home cooked like” food that is pretty much slapped onto a plate. Whilst we were there, they were friendly enough to most customers and they were helpful with older customers who cannot manage to do somethings themselves but they did get irked at some customers who rubbed them the wrong way. Last Visit: Have not been here for decades - cheap, no frills Hong Kong restaurant that’s been an institution for many students over the years. Nothing much has changed, maybe it has cleaned up a little. Same tables and chairs with different configuration. Possible different owners- more friendly, even cracked a smile.. Ordered as what described as Half Free Range Chicken. Looked very underwhelming when it arrived but it was juicy, succulent and the ginger shallots dipping sauce was very good. Chicken was small in size - maybe a Number 12 (1.2kg)-Number 15 (1.5kg). Generally not a fan of breast meat but this was not dry. $26 - a bit pricy for a small half chicken but it was good. Got a small serve of seasonal veggies which was today - Chinese broccoli with a dribble of oyster sauce. Decent serve for $8. Also ordered Seafood Combination with Fried Rice Noodles. Generous toppings. good sauce with a hint of “wok char” notes. $21 Good, friendly and prompt service.

2024: This place has been here since the dawn of time, and will probably still be here after that. The menu's been relatively unchanged, very affordable, though the bao's have lost a bit of zing. **** 2009: The Quintessential Roast Pork Bun of Melbourne. Very deceptive, gritty, low-key ambience housing the best BBQ Roast Pork buns in Melbourne. I've tried these buns in many places around the world and these truly are the best. The meat mixture is flavourous, with just the right amount of sauciness and wrapped in a soft fluffy bread bun. The other menu items aren't too bad, but you need only come here for these buns. *****

Affordable, zero-fuss tasty food is what I liked the most about this place. I ordered curry chicken on rice without bones, regular size ($13.70). There were 4 chicken pieces of respectable size and the curry itself was very satisfying. The only reason I'm deducting a star is because 2 of my pieces had bones in them, which was chalked up to the chef's mistake when addressed to the receptionist. Nonetheless, the place is simple-looking, clean with caring employees and decent food.
