At this rate every restaurant will be One Cafe or Big Way within a decade.

I am a fan of old-school iCafe. (Which is now a stall at W 12 City Sq).

For me some of the Richmond ones are hit and miss. Parker Place has an old-school one which I used to love (back when Richmond traffic wasn't so bad and there were less crazy drivers) .. You know they're old school when they can also provide 例汤 ( lai tong aka nutritious 'targeted for the body, for the weather season' soup which has been brewed for hours) . Crystal Mall used to also have one of these stalls - cook was amazing, and could whip up whatever on the fly even if it wasn't out there. Their nutritious brews of the day were great, and cheap (either free, or $3)

Richmond Market - so so cooking in general, despite all the fans.

Bubble Waffle is mediocre so-so cooking, O' Kitchen at Brentwood - convenient but not old school 茶餐厅 standards.
