Pretty bad food overall trying to fake a Hong Kong style. Cheong fun was microwaved dry and overheated with a liquidy sauce that had not much peanut/sesame nor sweet sauce. Pineapple bun was warmed but hard pressed like a cookie. To top that, Brisket was extremely dry and the beverages were acceptable at best.

I waited approximately 25 minutes for my order - only bolo bun and milk tea, despite the restaurant not being very crowded at the time. Eventually, I approached the counter to check, only to find that my order had unfortunately been overlooked.
Had I not followed up, I am unsure how much longer I would have been waiting. While I understand occasional mistakes can happen, I believe closer attention to order tracking and communication with customers would greatly improve the dining experience.
In addition, I ordered the polo bun, which I found to be below average in taste. The texture and flavor did not meet expectations, and I believe there is room for improvement in this menu item.

Just went there for lunch. Ordered a sour fish vermicelli,the portion is so small for the price of $12.80! The portion is more suitable for a young kid than for an adult!
Soup is ok with the mala pepper, there are 4 pcs of thick but tasteless fish. It claimed to be grouper but ..I m not sure!

The same store that was previously open as a Thai-branded cafe has changed its name to HK-style. While the Thai-style restaurant had good buns, toast, drinks, and noodles, the current location is quite different.
When there are fewer customers, it takes about 30 minutes to get two drinks and one toast. The drinks are poured from pre-made jug, even though had requested special orders that usually must be made fresh. The toast is not toasted and crispy; it’s soft and has few thick slab of butter that can’t be eaten as it is. There’s too much butter on it.
Unless there are improvements, it’s hard to go back to this place. Price is not the cheapest, unless they have better quality and service

I recently visited this Hong Kong–style café and was pleasantly surprised by their beverages. The drinks are incredibly silky smooth, and you can really taste the quality from their use of Carnation milk instead of condensed milk — rich, fragrant, and not overly sweet, which I really appreciate.
I also tried their polo bun. While the top isn’t as crispy as some other places, the flavour is still enjoyable and satisfying. It’s a good enough treat, especially alongside their drinks.
Overall, the café has great potential, and I’m happy with this visit. I’ll definitely drop by again to try their other dishes, especially the noodle options. Looking forward to my next visit!

The milk tea is just nice! Not sweet as they do not use condensed milk but carnation milk - Hong Kong style milk tea.
The peanut butter French Toast is very nice! Really thick and done just nice! The cold jelly dessert is nothing to scream about. So so.
Atmosphere is also pleasant but beware on weekends, if you sit by the sides, a lot of foot traffic, and sometimes people will cough as they walk past.

Happy Lili Cafe is located in Wisma Atrium shopping mall level 2. It is directly by the escalator (middle). The HK milk tea with pearl is so very milky and nice! The fish soup (fried fish) with choice of thick beehoon or e-mian is so awesome and tasty. Do note that there is yam in the soup should you be allergic to yam. If price is not an issue, the fish soup and milk tea are great !

The food wasn’t bad, but what really attracted me was the old Cantonese songs they played — they made me feel nostalgic. I used to listen to a lot of Cantonese songs when I was young, and every time I visit their shop, I always enjoy most of the songs they play.

Had a late lunch at 2:30pm. Plenty of empty seats and food is decent. Downside is the staff. The lady looked very unhappy. When I handed her the buzzer, she first just purposely ignored me even though my hand was only 10cm away from her. Then after a while she pointed at the box where ppl should put the buzzer in with an impatient expression. How hard can it be just to take over the buzzer and put it in for the customer instead?
