the owner, Simon, said all the items on menu are their own "favorite".. that's y their restaurant is called "Fav Cafe".. they play some English songs at the background.. & with many concert & music tour posters on wall.. very modern decor..

they served western soup during dinner.. & their dishes have no MSG.. all sauces are home-made.. since they want to make all dishes fresh, they won't pre-make their dishes so the wait time might be longer..

Tomato Bisque..

..we tried their two signature dishes on our first visit..

in terms of drinks, they have freshly brewed coffee, which is good & it's western style.. (all other drinks are not worth trying..)

we also came here for lunch..

..this was just so-so.. as the 豬豬 just means ham + bacon..
