This is by far and away our favourite restaurant. The Hong Kong Food and Tea restaurant provides the winning combination of a comfortable ambience with food of desire

Hong Kong Food and Tea Again

We just can't stop returning to the Hong Kong Food and Tea restaurant on the Ground Floor of East Coast Mall. It lures us in and grabs us in its chains from whence there is no looking back! Here are some images of our latest submission to its tastes. (We actually chose to eat at Pizza Hut, sat down, pressed the wireless attention button three times, waited in vain, got up, left, and wandered downstairs to the Hong Kong restaurant!)

Hong Kong Food and Tea Restaurant Memories

(March 2015 update: unfortunately, Hong Kong Food & Tea is no longer in service at EC Mall Kuantan)

The Hong Kong Food and Tea Restaurant on the Ground Floor of East Coast Mall, Kuantan, has been one of our favourite places to eat. This is not only for the food which is well-presented and delicious, but the whole ambience of the place generates a feeling of comfort and relaxation. 

It plays probably just as big a part as the food which brings in the money. It leaves me wanting to come back for more. 

The lighting is one of the main attractions. It's different and emanates a warm, soft, homely glow, ensuring the restaurant is not too dark but neither too light. The little spotlights dotted around the ceiling are also a nice addition.

It's fair to say we have enjoyed every meal we have had there. Lauren also has had a great time with the food, and the helpful attendants whom Lauren has become good friends with.

I am not a big advocate of eating out too often, but on occasion, in a quality restaurant like this, it can be a very memorable experience. When the food, the service, and the atmosphere are rightly combined, this one-off treat could well be the highlight of the week.

We decided to eat out at the Hong Kong Food and Tea Restaurant this lunchtime. This is a tried-and-tested eatery so we knew we were in for a good meal. There is a nice serene atmosphere in this restaurant as the soft music plays in the background. And despite a huge picture of Hong Kong city losing its stickiness at the corners, the restaurant is impeccably kept.

When we arrived at just after 11.30am we had the entire place to ourselves. Lauren chose our place to sit from a vast array of options. I think we must have been the first customers of the day.

After spending a portion of time browsing through the menus and trying to stop Lauren from tearing one of the smaller menus up, I decided to order a ham and pineapple focaccia, whilst Fie opted for her favourite black pepper pork rice, and we requested a side order of French Fries for Lauren.

Now we normally order our favourite chocolate and strawberry milkshakes, but recently we have resumed making home-made milkshakes from susu and vanilla ice-cream, so we went for fizzy lemon ribena.

That was delicious and very refreshing. Lauren was determined to get the piece of lemon out of the jug but was disappointed when she finally got it into her mouth!!! The food was nice yet again although Fie's dish was a little spicier than usual, she said. The bill came to RM26.90 with a 10% service charge but we struggled to find any evidence as to why the service charge could be so high.

Anyway, we do like the food there and we will be there again sometime in the future.
