See Fah Restaurant 世華餐廳, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong

See Fah Restaurant was one of the first few Singapore/Malay restaurants I tried back to the 80's. So much memories of it. The restaurant has been renovated for several times but still at the same old location on Hart Avenue across Prat Avenue.
1. Need to check with TC if the logo of See Fah is the same as that one of See Fah BKK. It claimed it's since 1937. 2. Iced lemon tea HK style and it's on a lunch set at HK$33.

3. Red Soup or White soup? 4. Spring Chicken with rice in curry sauce. So in such a nostalgic restaurant, I should try curry. Quite nice and the coconut aroma is pretty strong.

yes, the CN and EN name of See Fah and the logo r same same the Thailand one, so this See Fah r genuine Thai accent

Thai See Fah was ultra famous in the 60's and 70's, before the era of S&P

Thanks TC. So it should be the same as the Thailand's one but the menu may not be the same as this HK See Fah needs to have the local style HK food like onion pork chop on rice and stir fried beef flat noodle...etc.

If I would choose, I prefer See Fah to S&P. See Fah may not be the best but for some basic food they have still preserved the old way as it is.

The food on this post is exactly the lunch or dinner set at the HK style cafes here. Usually we have iced tea or coffee only $1 US if ordered with the meal. And the soup is free, and yes, either the red or white soup. Typical dish include baked pork chop with fried rice, curry chicken with rice, Hainan chicken with rice, dried stirred fried beef noodle with dark soy sauce(Kong Chow Au Ho), Raw Fried Beef Rice, and other HK old fashion dishes. The cost is average at $6 US for lunch and $8 for dinner without the drink.

Mmh... SS, you are very HK in LA. I guess the portion in LA should be at least 20 to 30% bigger than those in HK.

Yes, 70% of my friends here are from HK and that is why. And the other 30% are influenced by us so now they all like HK style cafe food.

I see. I noticed there had been quite many HK style places in Arcadia, Alhambra and Monterey Park...
