Alleluia Cafe- Oh Ex-Favourite HK Style Cafe, What Have You Become?!
Alleluia Cafe used to be my family’s favourite Hong Kong Style Cafe. We used to eat here at least two to three times a week, or sometimes more O.O. We were sucked in by their large quantities, cheap prices, fast service, and average/good quality food.
However, ever since they raised their prices (by quite a bit in my opinion), we stopped going there because there were cheaper alternatives in Richmond. After yesterday’s horrible experience at Alleluia, I don’t know when I will ever go back again.
I ordered the Curry Minced Beef Fried Rice w/ Egg ($6.75). It looked pretty darn good I have to say, but sadly it didn’t taste as good as it looked. The not-very-flavourful curry made the rice a bit dry so I wondered if they just sprinkled curry powder onto the fried rice and that’s it. The fried egg was a nice touch though because I like mixing runny yolk into my rice.
Based on these reasons:
- recently raised prices
- you can get a free drink refill
- average quality food
- small parking area out front (takes forever to park sometimes)
- this one experience of utterly horrible service (-1 point)
Happy Eating!
