This is my 3rd trip to Hong Kong and I've done all the usual touristy stuff.
So I wanted to try out different kinds of food this time round.
After walking around Causeway Bay, we chanced upon this really retro looking cafe.
The shop at the Causeway Way Branch is near to TimeSquare.
And just a few shops away from SaSa Supreme.
These 3 pictures below are from Google Map:
I loved the classic mosaic tiles used throughout the shop.
As well as the inclusion of a "tram" in the interior of the cafe.
There are other branches as well.
Though most of them are located in suburban areas.
The people in the cafe seem to be mostly locals.
The menu comes in a design placed on a Ping Pong Paddle!
Talk about novelty and creativity!
So cute!
You can get free-flow water in the cafe.
But you'll have to DIY and pour it yourself.
And if you can't find the utensils, just look under your desk and pull out the drawer.
It's all neatly arranged and tucked away.
Had simply too much of pork chop buns, wanton mee, roasted goose rice and toast the last few meals.
So I opted for something comforting.
Stir-fried brinjal with salted fish and fish slices with rice on the side.
It was served with a hearty "lao huo tang" that I really enjoyed.
It had a really hip retro vibe.
Staff were young and friendly.
The food was really good and not over-priced.
I would defintely go back again!
Tip:
As we took a walk around to see what others were eating.
The Popular Dish seems to be the Baked rice with Pork Chop Set.

A bit of History on the place:
Kam Kee Cafe was initially started in 1967. As the owner grew older, he decided to close down the shop he had run for about 45 years due to old age and rising rental costs in 2012.
In the spirit of preserving the legacy of old "Bing Shi", a new entrepreneurial owner obtained permission from the original owner to use the cafe name to continue the restaurant. He rebranded the cafe and opened several branches successfully thereafter.
