Dining Out: Satay Beef Noodle Soup, Egg & Luncheon Meat Sandwich, and Hong Kong-Style French Toast at Neighbourhood Cafe

New Hong Kong cafe alert! I saw Neighbourhood Cafe featured in multiple IG reels recently so I suggested going there for an early dinner with Minji and Daniel (my fellow cha chaan teng fiends).

Neighbourhood Cafe offers a fairly big variety of HK cafe foods, but I ultimately decided to go with the satay beef noodle soup set, which comes an egg sandwich (to which I added slices of luncheon meat for $2) for just under $14. Got an unsweetened iced HK lemon tea on the side, and shared the peanut butter-filled Hong Kong-style French toast for dessert. Everything I had was excellent and honestly better than I expected — they don't skimp on flavour, portions, or freshness of ingredients. The value is great considering the cost of dining out now, and there are even better deals for breakfast and afternoon tea sets. Service is also friendly and incredibly efficient. 

Having eaten at many HK cafes around the GTA, I would absolutely come here again over other similar restaurants — as long as it's during off-hours. We came here just after 5:30PM for an early dinner and didn't have to wait for a table and found parking right away, but by the time we left around 7:00PM, the parking lot was packed with tons of cars waiting for available spots. So, be warned.
