HK Kim Gary Cafe

I've been wanting to try this since my sister's first visit & gave them recognition. Unfortunately she did not update me about her 2nd visit which turned out to be a disaster, much as I felt yesterday.

The menu displayed drool-inducing pictures of what to be expected, which differed greatly from what was brought to us, in terms of taste.

Let me introduce mine 1st. Grilled curry mix combo, choice of rice or spaghetti. I imagined it to be nice cheesy baked rice. As my sis said, curry & cheese is easily prepared & like by majority. Turned out this plate of stuff was served with another plate of HARD rice. Hard to swallow.

U have ham, cheese, pork chop, chicken chop, pineapples, hard-boiled egg, drumlet, potatoes (?) in the watery curry. For $11.90 it seemed a great deal. Not when all the ingredients except pineapple, ckn chop, cheese and ham were hard. Real hard, I mean. It was supposed to be a dish so easily enjoyed. Don't know how they managed to spoil it.

I also had almond tea (hot). Pretty ok, but it was almond paste with a bitter afternote.

Another combo mix. Hotplate version. Heard white sauce (campbells cream of corn..) & fries were ok. But similarly, too much of a 'good thing' almost always don't turn out good. After the meal, nobody feels like eating any more stuff for a very very long time...

Unagi Stone Pot set.

Umm... I dont know how the last 2 items taste, but i certainly wont go back altho the fries & baked veggies looked tempting. Looks are deceiving. Swallowing substandard food was indeed a big torture.

Conclusion? Looks nice only. The food had no quality. If u wish to have HK fare I would recommend the one opp Bugis Junction (red background). Or else, go to the market & buy your own ingredients, follow a recipe book. U are sure to get better stuff.
