MoMo Sushi Japanese Restaurant
I have been here a few years ago. Suddenly craved sushi while being in the area.
We ordered two boxes: Special Box A and Veggie Box. Sushi 🍣 was very thick, such a good deal. The veggie tempuras were nicely done. They were thinly sliced and crispy. At first, I was not convinced about broccoli tempura, but it turned out surprisingly great. We could not finish the rolls. The salad also surprised us with a delicious and refreshing sauce.
Service was not bad, even though no one had refilled our tea. I did not mind that very much, as I understood there might not be enough servers. There was constantly one staff. It was a female to begin with, then she was on lunch break and a male took over. They both tried their best.

Hong Kong Bistro Cafe
We saw this place has higher rating in Chinatown, and we wanted to go to a HK style cafe. So, here we are.
At first, we went to the place on the first floor by mistake and noticed everyone was having different kinds of food!
We ordered a T-bone meal that came with a daily soup, baked pork chop rice, and a HK style mix of tea and coffee.
The portion were big. We should have just ordered one dish! T-bone was great on a sizzling hot plate with gravy, it also came with rice or spaghetti and vegetables. Daily soup, bitter melon with pork. was unexpected good.
For baked pork chop rice, the pork chop was too deep fried for me and the flavour of the sauce was lighter than expected. The fried rice was pretty good, though; it was still good when I had it for lunch the next day.
HK style mix of tea and coffee was quite good as well. They had two tall tea spots, and we guessed they did it in the proper way.

Great Taste Chinese Restaurant
We started going to this place because one of our friends told us this was her dad’s favorite for decades.
They have a big menu with dishes from a mixed selection of cuisines from different parts of China. Some of the dishes they offered are rare to find elsewhere. We have been here several times, and food has always been decent. Their servers are always friendly and welcoming. It is also quite spacious inside. Prices might not be the cheapest among Chinese restaurants, but some of their dishes are in big portion.
This time, I came by myself with a spicy noodle soup with beef tendon and a hot soy milk. They gave me a small bowl at the side for the noodle. I didn't know what it was for, but they apparently were thoughtful.

Bai Bua Thai Cuisine
We ordered two noodle dishes to share from the lunch special menu which is available from 11 am to 3 pm. They both came with a deep fried appetizer which was quite nice. $14.90 each - reasonable price.
1) Pad Thai with Chicken. It was good. It was slightly too sweet.
2) Pad See Ew with Beef. It was great. The beef was flavourful and the vegetable was surprisingly well done.
I will come back next time for their rice items with fried eggs.
The atmosphere was nice. The staff were very friendly.

Koh Lipe Thai Kitchen
I craved for Thai food so my friend brought us here.
Nice chill area not far from Chinatown. It took me about ten minutes to walk here.
We ordered one Thai Milk Tea, one Thai Green Tea, one appetizer and four main.
Mango salad was refreshing to start the dinner. Mango was still a little bit raw so it had a more firm texture and less sweet.
Pineapple 🍍 fried rice with curry chicken was a treat. It was served in a real pineapple with yellow sticky rice at one side and curry chicken at the other side. Chicken was flavorful. I was sad when they took away the pineapple, being very tempted to ask the server to cut the pineapple into slices and save for dessert! 😋
Stir fried crispy pork with green bean was a nice surprise - unexpectedly hot 🔥 and we liked the kick! Pork remained crispy in a saucy dish. Green beans were well chopped into bite size. It came with a small plate of rice.
Stir fried crispy pork with a deep-fried egg on top of rice was a great choice.
Stir fried noodles was also another hot dish. It was also filled with basil taste.
Only if we had room for desserts. We ordered way too much and had to pack two boxes.
$127.27 for a great deal for plenty of food.
One thing to pay attention is they only reserve table for 90 minutes for dinner.
