Fusion Cafe - Eastwood

Overpriced food, the food is not that good, just so so. The Hong Kong style milk tea is very bad, I only can taste the evaporated milk but no tea favor. Staff attitude are normal and not very friendly. Don't understand why still have customers come to this restaurant.

Every so often I would get a craving to go to a HK style cafe. This day I came specifically because I've been a bit under the weather & wanted to get a congee and steamed rice rolls. It was midday & they already sold out of the rice rolls. So just got a fish ball & lettuce congee with a fried dough stick, and a HK milk tea. Not sure how much fish is actually in the fish ball/paste, cause it really didn't taste much like real pieces of fish fillets. The congee base was ok, but not particularly flavoursome. Serving was generous, I could hardly get through half the bowl. The fried dough stick was ok, as expected. The HK milk tea was on the bitter side, lacked a bit of smoothness, hard to get through. On the plus side, the tables & chairs were quite clean, service was quick.

I've never been a huge fan of fusion places, mainly because it's so hard to decide what to order. This place was no different. The problem is the menu feels so unfocused and random, and combined with the uncertainty of what you're actually going to get, and it turns me off coming to places like this. Honestly though? Not somewhere I'd want to eat at again. I ordered a beef brisket and rice set, and it was alright. The prices were okay, but the service was terrible. The waitress we had was rather rude and kept telling me through broken English that the taro milk tea I wanted to order was yam, despite it clearly being written as taro on the menu. Repeating the word 'yam' ten times at me in a loud voice isn't going to make me very happy. Being positioned in Eastwood as well, there are so many other choices for food that are cheaper and more filling and less haphazard. That could just be me though.

Typical Hong Style cafe serving up dishes like Baked rice/spaghetti, HK style grilled pork chops or steaks, Nissan noodles and milk teas. Food here is nothing special, but it's not that bad either. Food can be a bit greasy, and noodle soups are bland, but for a quick lunch, it's ok. My missus like their Fish Wah soup with watercress. I had a taste of it & it was pretty good, but just a little bit salty for my taste. Service is bad. Prices are ok.

I would give it a 4.0 if the price has not gone up so quickly. I think the restaurant offers infused reinvented Hong Kong / Cantonese style food.  This is a restaurant that shows dedication to its food as illustrated in their motto and work ethnics.  Set menu or individual dishes are on offer.  I love their set menu dishes especially the lunch/dinner and afternoon tea menu.  The lunch/dinner set menu consisted of dishes that are mostly with rice or spaghetti.  For the afternoon tea menu, I love the roast chicken maryland. I think it is one of the best tasting crispy chicken maryland among the Chinese cafe style restaurants I have tasted in Sydney. Service: 6/10 Food : 8/10 Ambiance: 6/10 Value for money : 6/10
