Choubo Kissaten

⚠️New Japanese cafe alert in @taipomegamallhk! Elegantly designed with wood accents and dark teal seats, @choubo_kissaten serves up quality sweet and savory Japanese dishes at affordable prices 🤩 There was a long queue when we went (most possibly attracted by the opening 20% off like us), but fortunately we could distract ourselves by browsing through the miscellaneous goods on sale at the restaurant entrance 🫖 [Beef Stew Omurice] If you order any omurice, the waiter will cut open the omelette and pour sauce on top upon serving, so remember to get your phones ready 📷 The crunchy zucchini and carrot dices in the fried rice had a nice contrast with the tender oxtail and accompanying veggies (eggplant, cherry tomato and pumpkin) [Eel Don] Generously drizzled in a thick soy sauce that gave flavor to the fluffy rice, the massive boneless eel completely covered the thick block of tamago egg below. Yummy 😋 [Chicken Nanban] The crispy fried chicken was drizzled in a thick sweet and sour glaze plus a thin tartar sauce, giving it a whirlwind of flavor. The refreshing cabbage shreds on the side and decorative chili threads on top added a finishing touch to the dish 😍 [Baked Cheese Toast] Total cheese overload - besides the top layer, we were surprised to discover that there was melted cheese in the middle as well 🤤 The toast was thoughtfully sliced into three pieces and served with a side salad. Bonus points for the pretty parma ham flower! [Custard Pudding] Lucky that we got our hands on the last caramel custard pudding, which was heavenly smooth, ultra creamy and topped with a huge cherry. Probably one of the best purins I’ve had lately. Swipe ➡️ to watch that jiggle! [Purple Drinks] Unintentionally ordered color-coordinated drinks 💜 These really exceeded our expectations - the rich sweet potato flavor went well with the milky foam while the grape and yakult was evenly balanced 📍 Choubo Kissaten Shop 276, 2/F, Zone B, Tai Po Mega Mall, 8-10 On Pong Road, Tai Po #hongkong #japanesefood #café #romanticrestaurant#summertrip#gourmetsummer #cafe
